Powerlifting benefits all ages, from young to mature. No matter your age, results won't come without motivation and motivation won't come without discipline. What are your 2020 goals and how will you achieve them?

Relationships aren’t always a walk in the park. It’s all too easy to avoid talking about issues because they make us uncomfortable. However, when we face the discomfort, we become stronger.

Your 2020 goals won't be achieved in a day. It takes time to build new habits and make lasting changes. See how 75HARD made a difference in Erik Eggers' goal execution.

It’s time to man up. It’s time to put on your hard hat and go to work.

To me, greatness is a journey, not a destination. The next few articles I write are going to talk about the path to greatness and the key things that I think are necessary for ultimately reaching that goal. The first thing is tension.

It took time and a whole lot of failures for me to learn these core principles of leading others. But they are what helped me grow my business to over 160 members and a team of four others working alongside me... which brings me to these 7 lessons of leadership.

One might act a certain way at a concert Saturday night but act entirely different at church Sunday morning... and of course, one might lift a certain way for the sake of Instafamousness and socialookatmedia versus how they should lift and train for the pending meet or competition.

Here, in this article, you will find the answer to why accomplished coaches and athletes I’ve been fortunate enough to know gravitate toward the iron and have made it a core element of their life.

When you think of "investment," you usually think of money. For this article, think about other types of investments: time, effort, and energy. Now, answer this question: What are you investing in?

Even after 47 years of life, I continue to realize there are crossover lessons between powerlifting and life. Case in point: modifying a new Jeep for desert driving.

I recently wrote down things I’ve learned that helped me change my life, and I hope this list of those lessons helps you break through whatever you feel is holding you back and achieve optimal health, wellness, strength, success, freedom, and happiness.

In my last article, I went over 2 of the 5 dysfunctions of a team. Here, I'll cover the remaining 3 and how to bring the team closer together.

Growing up in the ‘80s, Brian Alsruhe found strength in Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and He-Man. The one thing these people (and cartoon character) had was muscles; therefore, he’d need muscles to be strong. That brought him to martial arts, forming a strong mindset, and eventually, to strongman.

I used the book The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team to help bring my athletes closer together, especially when there was a major shift in the team. These exercises helped bring us closer together and improved performance and morale.

It's said a person is only one injury away from ending your sports career. When dealing with that kind of injury, we often neglect how it affects our minds, which are almost just as easy to break as our bodies.

From the street, the building looked sturdy, well-built but otherwise nondescript. That said, the reality of what was happening inside defied description. Legendary powerlifters whose training feats remain mostly unknown...

I hope my story encourages you to realize that your past does not hold you back, no matter the story. There is always a way to use negative experiences for good and help others. It is also at that point you are no longer pushed by pain, but otherwise, pulled by purpose.

Wealth, power, and fame. Some might say those are inherently negative characteristics. I, however, believe the way those characteristics are wielded determines whether they are good or bad.

Recording a podcast episode with my mentor (and cousin) John Alvino made me reflect on the pivotal role training has played in my life. Quite frankly, without it, I don't know where I'd be. Inside these four walls, training has been my therapy, my drug, and my anchor.

One elitefts article is changing my life, and it was a completely unexpected article! Thanks to Matt Ladewski's "4 Non-Training Podcasts you Should Listen To," I'm a third of the way done with a 75-day challenge. It's taught me a lot about myself and my habits, both good and bad.

Quitting social media will help you realize how you’re spending your time and where you’re spending your time. Most of us, myself included, are wasting entirely too much time on stupid stuff. Stop wasting your time there and start putting it where it's most important.

Whenever I ask for topics people want to learn about in my column, “how to stay motivated” is always at the top of the list. Motivation is in high demand: you see it all over Instagram in memes, pictures, and captions. Despite the high demand, it sure seems like it's in short supply....

What is it about powerlifting that draws people to it like a magnet? Is it the parts of us that start as iron ore and are melted down into knurled steel through training? Is it a religion we worship? What power does powerlifting have over us?

Believe it or not, sometimes words can be heavier than your PR. These words and the ones that follow are my weights to bear... and also, to share with you and others who may need to hear them. This is my story.
