Consider adding low RAW box squats to your training and see, after giving them some time, if they are of benefit to you. You might be surprised how they can complement your more standard box squat and ultimately your actual max effort squat.

and an update on the M2 Equipped Ebook

. . . I have been in this business for twenty years now, never underestimate people's cheapness . . .

More than two dozen articles that you may want to revisit from March of 2013.

Next Saturday, April 18th, Dr. Squat-Fred Hatfield and Josh Bryant (of TeamEliteFTS) are coming to TPS to do a FREE to our members and friends seminar on getting brutally strong and fast.

Bench day/ chest day... whatever you call it. Got some good volume in, working to continue to groove my pattern correctly. Gonna take time so I just gotta be patient.

And my training changes gears .... finally.

Life get's crazy sometimes. This post will catch you up and lay out the goals for the next few months. It will be an interesting ride.

Cardio, pics and diet update. More diet updates will come as we start to get into the groove a little more.

Neck is still jacked and seeing retina specialist tomorrow.

Dynamic Squats turned ugly

Leg day... bunch of high volume work - squats, more squats, stiff leg deads, rows and pulldowns.

I worked up to an 875 Squat and Deadlift attempt and spent some time with Pavel Tsatsouline this week. Beginning to ramp up my intensity while bringing my volume down in preparation for a deload of both in the coming weeks. The end goal will be a strength level test at the end of this cycle.

Week 8 post surgery training went well. Deadlift off blocks felt great.

and a Tank update

Prep training is officially under way!! Excited for the change of pace... and being less fluffy and more jacked and tan. 10 weeks out!!

The nuances alone of speed vs max effort bench are enough to fill a book (and have) and thus that is a topic for a different day. The point of this log is for you to be able to visually see, via their training footage, the striking differences between the SPEED and MAX EFFORT methods, but noting as well, the fact that both methods lay on a foundation of superior technique and execution of the lifts.

(Direction + Deadlines + Delegation) - Dissension = A Dominant Organization

Congratulations to my buddy Tyler Marino!

Began with the Prowler..

The purpose of this Coaching Log is to demonstrate, first step by step with bullet point explanation, how to do a “basic” knee wrap. Second, a demonstration of that same method, but in an actual setting where we wrap WPC World Champion Steve Brock for his 960LB squat attempt. There are a few variations to wrapping knees, and this tutorial provides you with the essential elements with regard to this piece of supportive equipment.
