Death By Push Up
Have I ever mentioned how much I love PUSH UPS? They are easy to get away from and yet, they are a great source of rendering the SUCK. Their variety in application can make the weakest of people able to succeed and the strongest benchers shaking like they have the Detoxes. In groups of 2-5 […]

Embrace the Suck
Tuesday and our Bench session has turned into "Project Holiday". Along with most things we do this time of year, "Project Holiday" is geared for that time of year when folks will gain 7-14 lbs of unnecessary weight just because, well...it's festive. Nope, not the case with me and mine. We are truly embracing the […]

Chest and Shoulder Double Time'n IT!
I needed to crank it up a bit today. Having little time and a lot of volume to do, I gathered a couple of my training crew and knocked out 10 sets of 10 reps of the following TWO exercises: Incline Bench and Flat Bench. Using only 100 pounds on each the goal was to […]
Earning My Pain
Day 3 of "Stopping the Wheeze" Even here in California it gets down to freezing. Not for long, but before the sun comes up, it is 32 degrees. YIKES!!!! The toughest part today was making sure my insides were evacuated before heading out. As I remember, nothing is worse than having to stop and "litter" […]

"How are You?"
Today, on my bike ride home, I thought I'd have a bit of fun with the people that I see regularly on my route. We pass the same faces daily and occasionally we might nod or smile. So I thought I would add to that and actually say something that most folks will say in […]

The Best Time of the Year to Train SALE?
You really need to buy something NOW. Christmas is closer than you think
Max Effort Good Mornings and Prowler
The Prowler is quite possibly my favorite conditioning tool. Everyone that trains with me has a love/hate relationship with it as well. While everyone will tell you the horror stories about my Prowler programming, EVERYONE that lives to talk about it, does so with affection. I think... hmmm...well MAYBE. We love to glamorize it too. […]
My son's "Dry Land" training
Before our Ice Hockey games we have a warm up known as "Dry Land". Here the boys get a bit of my PRE GAME. Last week I spoke about FINISHING. Finish a play, a check, a goal, a line shift, the GAME. Never quit. "They'll have to KILL you to make you stop". This week […]
Tuesday Part II Conditioning
After a bike ride and hockey roller blade pick up from school, Hunter and I hammered out 10x50 yards with an emphasis on the starting five steps. Hit top end and coast to the end. Brought the big dog with us too. He's still a bit winded. That's him when we was a puppy.
