When I made the transition from my bodybuilding workouts I had a bad taste in my mouth. I was wrestling or competing / training in Grappling & BJJ and the 2 simply didn't blend. I was getting injured quite a lot and I wound up ditching a lot of bodybuilding work, mainly because I stopped training in a traditional gym environment and I was now training in my garage. No machines, no cables. Just free weights and odd objects. I began developing a different type of strength. Different than … [Read more...]
Don’t Be That Strength Coach
Since being in gyms from the age of 13 (1989) until today where I own 2 gyms and work with Coaches around the world on both training and business, I have learned a few things that are often NOT spoken of.

Why You Need To Get Punched In The Face
Sometimes you need a hardcore wake up call. A proverbial "punch in the face". Your coasting through life, your training is easy and you're not moving onward or upward, just standing still. The ultimate way to stress yourself out is to stand still. I learned this from Dan Sullivan of Strategic Coach (Give credit where credit is due). Training athletes day in and day out and trying to work with sport coaches I learn that no one wants to get out of their comfort zone. Excuses run rampant and … [Read more...]
STRONG Life Ep 57: 5 Rules to Live By!
The old "golden rules" I heard about as a kid have somehow escaped many people nowadays. Perhaps I am more aware of this as an entrepreneur, in a cut throat world where many prefer a bigger bank account instead of a bigger heart? Where egos being stroked are more important than friendships..... What about the "treat thy neighbor...." rule?

My Thoughts On Training As You “Get Older” & The BEST Workout Program
I was 27 years old and getting my car filled up on gas at the local gas station. It was almost Summer time and I was wearing shorts and a t shirt. A guy I knew saw me and said, "Holy shit, son, you're all ripped up. I used to look like that. Wait until you get my age, you won't have the time to train anymore. I used to be just like you......" Those were the famous words I began hearing on the regular, "Just like you....." Listen, things change as you get older, and whether they change for … [Read more...]
Navy SEAL Ethos, How Success Leaves Clues & Why Your Work Ethic Adds Up
Here is a small excerpt from The Navy SEAL Ethos to preface some of my influence behind the way I think and the way I pay attention to things: We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my teammates and the success of our mission depend on me – my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. My training is never complete.
