Checkout my new video on creating luck using scientific principles

On Saturday Daniel Tinajero, Jo Jordan, Trinity and I helped set up a paralympic bench and gave some bench instructions with Charlie Merritt at the Paralyzed Veterans of America in Sanford. We hope to make this a more regular event and to get more of the disabled veterans involved as we go.

We're not squatting into the deadlift.

As a Strength and Conditioning coach I have found often that I am the Segway between Coaching Staff and Athlete. Seems the unique position is one that WANTS the athlete to succeed beyond everyone's expectations and the Coaches that want to put the BEST players on the Field, Court or Ice. I've been in this […]

Transition block continues as I start to move into some heavy loads

Today our powerlifting crew hit speed squats against bands using an opposite stance of what they normally squat.  Short rest periods and heavier band tension made it a tough day.  I have some doing box squats for most of this training cycle as they have some knee issues.  Afte that's they hit steric hold hyped, […]

I have said, no one actually retires from sports, they get tired  of recovering from the pain of the sport. I heard it put this way as well.  "Everyone has one more injury, but not everyone has one more recovery".  Unfortunately as brilliant as that is, I can't remember which one of my friends said it […]

Wednesday I got in some conditioning as I was a scout team player for men's basketball in practice.  I really have to stop thinking I can play with college kids.  Man, my body felt terrible after two days of playing in practice. Thursday Trap Bar: 22x5x5/275x5/3x5@315 FBB Bench: 5x5@225 T-bar: 5x10 Kept it short and […]

My first week of conjugate-style powerlifting.

Is it time to get bigger or smaller?

My new strategy for meet prep: a take on the conjugate method with a little bodybuilding thrown in.

I keep falling. I’m ready to finally stand back up.

I reached it on Friday.  What?  The point of bifurcation.  You know, "Do or Die". You've read about all the weight room heroes that say things like, "not until they peel my dead cold hands from the steel",  or "It isn't over until I'm DONE" After 20 years of rising every morning at 0300, opening […]

GREAT UPPER BACK TRAINING!

Because life isn't just about muscles.

New all-time squat record and my #oldschoolbloodandgutsmalestripper workout

Today our lifters hit some upper body based movements.  Board presses against heavy bang tension.  Dips heavy for reps, KB shrugs, low rows, Lat raises, then a couple other optional stuff was on the menu.  Am really happy with everyone's progress.  Nova especially.  He had improved in a lot of areas as well as been […]
