I literally feel like I'm starting all over again.

I was talking to a few friends who were missing the "Good Old Days" of Powerlifting.  When there were measurable amounts of FREAKS and CHARACTERS. Granted, the doors are now wide open for a NEW breed to take the platforms, mostly brought on by the popularity of Crossfit and the commercializing and main stream promotions […]

5 MORE HUGE STRONGMAN TIPS, Part III in this IV Part Series!!!!!

My son is the recipient of many of my "Life Lessons".  Since I'm as old as time itself and he's a mere TEN years old, there is an abundance of things I tell him that when he recites one or two, he sounds so far advanced beyond his innocence. We were chatting about his Hockey […]

Just as one would expect, it sucks

We’ll still follow the same M2/Minimalist method of utilizing a gradually increasing range of motion by using a high box for heavy, parallel for high rep, then low box or no box for speed work.

Simple. Try not breathing for 5 minutes as well.

I will stay the course.

This is when you realize you are not competing against others but with the weights and your win/loss record isn't based on how many trophies you get but how many PRs you get after being knocked back.

I am jacked up with pride about Nick Cambi's performance at World's Strongest Man.
