You ever have those times where you have no idea what you are training for? You will and here is how to deal with them.
YOU Are One Of A Kind
"I’ve lived through things I would never have thought I was capable of, and I’m not as afraid as I used to be. The process of wounding wakens us to our strength. It shuffles our values, and the top priority is never what you thought it would be. It’s never about perfection or power. It always […]

Today our lifters hit some high rep (8's) deadlifts and other lower body movements to compliment their training session. The morn group is great with the 4 lifters pushing each other.

Off-Season Football Training
Well, it's that time of year, again. Football season is not quite over, but I'm thinking about winter training. This is normal for me. I'd imagine it's normal for most strength coaches. We want the season to go on for as long as possible, but inevitably, it ends and we have to be ready for […]

The Later I Stay Up The Funnier Things Become
My early gym time is a concern for my son who truly wants to train with me. Unfortunately, 0400 and a 10 year old rarely meet. Something about sleeping and growing. Anyway, Hunter is a pleaser. He never wants to disappoint either his Mom or me. So, when I told April when she asked why […]

Stand Up When You Pee. Zip Your Pants From The Front
I care about the outcome of today. I have my favorite Presidential Candidate as well as local government officials. I have my opinions of Propositions and Proposals. I voted! I don't need to justify to ANYONE the reasons I chose the way I did. But I CHOSE and I will STAND BY those decisions. I […]

Today our Powerlifting Squad hit an upper body session. Still pretty high reps. A lot of benching and back exercises.
