We talking about living life the way we should early this morning. Some people come in at 4:30 AM half to fully asleep. Those were the good ones. Then some didn’t make it in at all. Those that were there got an early dose of my bullshit. When I asked if it was too early, […]

Over the years I have learned many training lessons from Jim Wendler. This is one I think everyone should learn from.
Every single thing you do is a matter of choice. You can approach your choice with trepidation or attack it with reckless abandon and feverish perversion. With every choice comes rewards or consequences. By not making a choice, you have made one. Every choice you make makes who you are. CHOOSE WISELY! Today’s Training: Cycle […]

Saturday probably should be renamed, “Squatted Today” since that’s what we do early before doing anything else. Embracing “Work the Weakness”, I focus on the group’s need to brace harder and to open the hips more. To do this, and make it fun, I love adding “Windchime Squats” What are Windchime Squats? Well, we use […]
When I was in college, a hundred years ago, I went “downtown” one Saturday night to a place of libation and mockery. While there with my friends, I decided to give a new game a try. It was an arcade game in the corner of the bar that went by the name, “Defenders”. Dropping quarters […]
I just got back from a vacation in Kauai, Hawaii. Now and again we all need a bit of downtime to replenish our “power packs”, and this one came at a great moment for me. I don’t know about everyone who reads my Coaching Log, and their motivation for doing what they do in a […]
I can’t believe it has come to this, however, as the saying goes “Adapt or die!” I took a day off and lived to tell about it.
I’m about to drop off the grid for a much-needed edge sharpening. The last time I went to my roots (Some place tropical or third world, hopefully, both) was pre-pandemic. It’s not that I don’t enjoy the boogers out of what I do, but even God took a rest on the 7th day. So I […]

A lot of people seeing that are ultra-polite will excuse themselves and pull out of a conversation simply to allow another person to ask a question. This is where I will tell the story of […]
“Winners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they’re making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that’s the difference.” – Lou Holtz Yeah, I was going to add more, but Coach Holtz said it all already. Today’s Training: Cycle Warm-up #2 2×10 of the following: […]
This was a tough week. I had taken two days off from going to the gym with what I thought was a cold and then allergies kicked in with a spring that went from zero to 120 mph in a day. I then added my sprint running three times per week which proved to be […]
