Monday Jan 9th
Today our powerlifting squad hit some mobility work then onto a tough lower body training session. Aaron and Marivon had great days with great form. Judging from their lifts today they are on track just have to stay healthy. Safety bar box squats (when done properly) is very challenging. After this everyone hit some lower […]
I Still Use Encyclopedias To Google Stuff
I no sooner suggest that people stay home when they are ill, that I get NO sleep from a tickle in my throat and a dry hack of a cough. Shit, shit, shit!!!! (Remember Rule #67) However, unlike people who have the option, I MUST go into work no matter how awful I feel, because […]

Friday
Today our Powerlifitng squad hit some heavy upper body. They started off with a ytwl series and some int/ext rotation movments. For the lift heavy as hell DB presses, DB mil presses,pull-ups (or pulldowns depending on the athlete), swimmers row and a fun superset at the end. As with every tues/thurs I leave it to […]

THE EMERGING WOMENS' DIVISION OF POWERLIFTING [video included]
With the perspective of over a quarter century in the world of competitive powerlifting, I have never seen three, packed to the gills, flights of women-only in a non-international meet until this past December. The women’s division in powerlifting is emerging and that is great for the sport of powerlifting.
When The F**k Did Practical Experience Stop Mattering?
If you think I am wrong, stick around for another five years and look back on what you know then from what you know now then and tell me I'm wrong.

Deficit deads (snatch grip), glute/ham raises, latest lunges, and some movments in the straps rounded out the day. Is great to see Karl and nova lifting and pushing each other. Marivon and […]

Why just be jacked when you can also be the hammer?
I first met John Welbourn at a seminar in 2009. He wasn't a dickhead so I liked him. Off and on we've stayed in touch over the years. A retired professional athlete, kinda beat up, surgeries, injuries from doing stupid shit, passion to help others, still kind of does stupid shit, stays involved with Strength and Conditioning and still likes
How do I warm up? Get it right and SFW!
One of the most frequent questions I get is possibly the most misunderstood aspect of training:
How do I warm up?
I'm gonna make this simple.
If You Want To Change Your Life, You Need To Make Changes In Your Life
No one is getting out alive, so stop treating yourself as an after thought. Get outside! Cold, rainy, sunny, nice, HOT? Go! Why do you think trees grow so big? Because they are outside!!! Have you ever jumped into an ocean? There are lots of living things in there. There's a lot of living things […]
