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...]
Deadlifts, Rocky & Navy SEAL Inspiration
-- Strength Today VS Strength of Yesterday -- When I was a teenager, strength was measured in numbers. Numbers on the bar. That's all. Then, when I reached my 20s, I began viewing strength differently. I attached strength to more than just the numbers I was lifting. I measured my strength in pain tolerance, in making training partners quit and in going that extra step just when I thought I should stop. … [Read more...]
You Can’t Fake STRONG
I'm coming off a high after last weekend's USC Cert + Travis Mash's Learn 2 Lift Seminar. We blend our 2 methods together because it all blends perfectly.

F–K Mediocrity & The Tough Kids From The U
Quite often I feel like a man all alone on a stranded island. Where the hell are all the dedicated, hard charging SOBs I ask myself? Still, I get e mails and messages on the daily asking me how I stay so motivated and hungry to succeed in all areas of my life. 1 of the BIG reasons is because I HATE Mediocrity. I HATE 2nd best or 2nd place. It wasn't always like that. I didn't start getting that inner drive of being pissed off for greatness until I was 19 or 20. … [Read more...]
What To Do When You Don’t Feel Like Doing!?
Don't be shocked when you read this. We're ALL human. There is weakness in ALL of us. In my mind, weakness is evil, so it pisses me off and inspires me into action. It's 8:15 PM on a Monday night. My gym is over 90 degrees and my energy has been put towards MANY things: Waking up at 5 AM to do work on the beautiful interwebs. Playing Tennis with my kids and losing against my 9 year old daughter (Truth) Driving 45 minutes to the gym and 45 minutes lies ahead of me to get home I'm … [Read more...]
We Need MORE People Getting Farm Boy STRONG
Too many Coaches have gotten entirely too nice with athletes and their training. Or, they refuse to learn and refuse to change, in turn doing dangerous and stupid training that either doesn't work and / or injures athletes. "This is how I always trained....." is what they say. Small minds refuse to change. Small minded people never succeed beyond their own mind. Don't be "that guy". Everyday is a learning opportunity. I learn everyday, not just from other coaches, but from my athletes as I … [Read more...]
NO Time To Train = NO Such Thing
We've all heard the saying, "I've got no time....." We all know, there is truly no such excuse. We make time for what's important and make excuses for what is not. There are many days I find myself in a time crunch, especially this Summer as I have my kids in various sports camps and I am driving here and there and then attacking my business and day to day activities. Some would advise to wake up earlier and get the training in but when you're a working family, you can't go and leave an … [Read more...]
I Changed My Mind: REAL World Strength AND Bodybuilding
It must have been 6 years ago or so, I remember the moment quite clearly. We were outside The Underground Strength Gym, the athletes were hitting their finishers and training like farm boys. Back and forth they went pushing and pulling sleds, carrying the anvil, the atlas stone, dumbbells, kettlebells and sandbags. A BIG bodybuilder and his skinny friend began approaching. The bodybuilder was jacked. His friend looked like a typical high school kid weighing about 160 lbs or so. The … [Read more...]
