3 Reasons You Must Attack Deadlifts & Calisthenics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_aSMy9RQyk Give me nothing but a Barbell and I will Build a BadAss. Do you have the discipline, drive and dedication to train with nothing but a barbell? If you do, then we can make it happen. But the truth is that MOST don't desire the simplicity. They crave the fancy. They crave the fads. If my business could be run like a simple training hall we can certainly weed out the not so serious. Add some bodyweight bodybuilding aka calisthenics and now we have a … [Read more...]
3 Reasons To Train Like A SAVAGE
Men need to train like uncontrolled savages & stop being so damn pretty when it comes to training & workouts. Start doing this at least SOME of the time. Not all of the time, but 1 x week, make it happen. Intense, Uncomfortable, Tough Workouts are GREAT for the mind AND body. The body is always capable of more, but through those perfect workouts that follow the perfect program design system and the best sets and reps, you NEVER truly develop your Inner Savage. I love telling the … [Read more...]

Most Strength Coaches will tell you how TOUGH it is to develop relations with the high school sports coaches. They rarely reply to e mails and have NO urgency in organizing something together. The way to … [Read more...]
The Value of Teaching Work Ethic & Avoiding The Delusional
Above, Opportunity knocks for those WILLING to work their ass off to get it. A crew of CUSC (Certified Underground Strength Coaches) at Elliott Hulse's Strength Camp. Some "get it" and some don't. Some think that what they see on the surface is what you get and the way it's always been. They see a pumping gym and assume it was easy. They don't see the tens of thousands of dollars (perhaps over 100 thousand) invested in training and business knowledge. They don't see the struggles that were … [Read more...]
Trust Your Gut Instincts: Advice On Life, Training & Business
Time to drop some truth. I see no other way to do things. The photo above, from Paolo Coelho speaks loud and clear. Do NOT lie to yourself. EVER. Trust your gut instincts.

In this Video I discuss mistakes I've made in life and business that I deep down knew were wrong, but I got caught up being a sheep, … [Read more...]
Life & Lifting Lessons Learned In Cali
This past weekend I had an AWESOME time out west in Cali! I hadn't been out to Cali for about 12 years or so, back when my older bro lived in San Diego. If you've never been to San Diego, it's essentially perfect. The weather is perfect, the people are all super friendly and every morning seems like paradise. I slept every night with my sliding door open and getting some clean, fresh air felt awesome. I slept like a baby. As always, my time goes too fast and I missed out on connecting with a … [Read more...]

2 Critical Kettlebell Technique Tips
It was a brutally cold winter night. The year escapes me? 2003, I think..... I took the drive up north into Bergen County, NJ to pick up my first set of Russian Kettlebells, a pair of 53s and a pair of 70s. I remember being nervous, questioning why the hell I just spent $550 (With Discount!!) on only 2 sets of Kettlebells. I was already heavily in debt from years of poor lifestyle decisions but I couldn't stop thinking about using Kettlebells for my training. Since then, it's been well over … [Read more...]
