8/9/2023 Listen To The Barbell...
"The barbell teaches you a different lesson. The barbell holds the opportunities of getting stronger, change your body, and build resolve. BUT (and this is the important part) the barbell doesn't give a shit about you. You pick it up and it gives you positive, life-changing results, or you don't, and gives you NOTHING. The […]
7/8/2023 Therapy is nice
Years and years ago, when I played high school football, I had an offensive coordinator who never used foul language. I mean this guy refused to curse at all. On this particular afternoon at practice, we were running a play where I got the ball (I played running back on offense) and the line had […]

7/6/2023. Sunrise Ride
Up before the sun and hit'n the trails, my son Hunter and I went for a fat-burning ride. Fat burning? YES! We weren't going our normal "Tour de France" pace. No, no, no...didn't want to dig into those glycolytic stores, we wanted to burn from the current fat deposits that are crying to be used. […]
7/5/2023 Do You Want a SICK Pump?
and more... But if you want a really sick pump try mixing 3 grams of salt in 30 oz of water and drink it slowly about 30 to 45 minutes prior to working out. It won't only boost the blood volume and circulation, it will also dilate the arteries. HUGE GAINZ!!! "Stand back, he/she might […]

7/4/2023 Progress!
Progress should be the aim of EVERY workout and not perfection. I don't ask people to reach their peak on a daily basis. No, no, no... I ask for a 5% increase somewhere in every session. By looking for perfection the chances of failure are far greater and THAT leads to quitting on the goal. […]
8/3/2023 Fit F#cks vs. Fit Fat F#ck
This morning's discussion topic while training with my training partners was the value of proper nutrition. I explained how I thought a good protein intake was a nice big piece of steak instead of a shake.

7/31/2023. Intellectuals solve problems...
"Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them." Albert Einstein I've got a few things coming up that I need to prevent. I hate to leave posts that hang like this, but I can't go into details yet. Just know, I already have a solution and I only need to see if it's "doable". Stay tuned. More […]
7/28/2023 Upside Down Breathing
Ian Jackson wrote a book years ago entitled, "Upside Down Breath Play" or "Zooming" as the technique is affectionately called.

7/27/2023 The Dual Purpose of Training Dynamically.
The human organism is a goal-seeking machine. It will do whatever it needs to do in order to accomplish the objective. If that objective is moving BIG weight, then the body will do whatever it takes to fill that need, even at the expense of compensating the mechanics or the technique of a lift. However, […]

7/25/2023 My Shoulders Hurt All The Time
Because I'm noticing a constant "BURN" on both my shoulders I wonder if anyone else on my team does as well, so I am adding a few warm-up exercises based on some "therapy" gadgets I've seen recently. Holding the arms out to each side, do tiny arm circles from the shoulders (of course) both clockwise, […]
A tip in my Business eBook that I wish I had used
Location is crucial. As you often hear; location, location, location. The vast majority of your customers will come from within a five-mile radius. It makes sense to make the effort to find the ideal location. Ideally, you’ll be able to find a five-mile radius with no other similar businesses as well as other high traffic […]

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like VICTORY" ~ Col. William Kilgore Everyone knows that quote, but the clincher for me was when he turned to the young soldiers around him while he was in his squat position and then says remorsefully, "One day this war is going to end." […]
