2/23/2023 Strained THAT one (again)
I've always had temperamental hamstrings. I have pulled them countless times and torn each one twice that probably should have been surgically re-attached. But I didn't so now I have some really cool-looking scars on the back of my wheels. Today I was playing around with an alternative to the Good Morning: Weighted Back Extensions. […]

Sometimes, Intuition Is Wrong
Even after reading thousands of my workouts, I don't always get it right.

If you don't like doing something, just keep doing it anyway.
2/21/2023 "Out of Every One-Hundred Men..."
"Heraclitus was a philosopher who wrote about men on a battlefield. "Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters and we are lucky to have them for they make the battle. But there's ONE and THAT ONE IS A WARRIOR!" From the time you […]
I'm Fat and Ugly but You Can Do Better!
My skin may be thick but it doesn't mean that I can't find a moral to every story. A couple of weeks ago I got a solid comment on YouTube about how I'm fat, ugly, out of shape, and clearly whatever I'm doing simply isn't working. It's almost like I don't own a mirror and […]

2/18/2023 Do You Want A Great Motivator?
Playing sports growing up I always had the next season coming up. I always had to prep for football, wrestling, lacrosse, or any of the inter-scholastic or inter-collegiate activities that are out there. Never was there a day that didn't get the attention to the prep work necessary to excel at any given sport, so […]
2/15/2023 Keep Moving...
"I'm too busy to train today". REALLY? I call bullshit! It doesn't matter how busy you are. It doesn't matter how lethargic you feel. It doesn't matter what time of day it is or all the things you piled onto your agenda. A QUICK training session is better than a NO training session! Today's Training: […]

2/12/2023 PROWLER!
I have always been a huge fan of this little diddy. From the time it showed up on my doorstep right to this morning. The morning of its arrival while I was coaching in Arizona, I wondered, "what sort of mayhem can I design?" So I packed it in the back of my truck and […]

2/9/2023 Do Something That Sucks Everyday...
This counts! This workout SUCKS!!! You have to find a very dark place inside of yourself to complete this one. The objective is to keep moving and FINISH it. It can be done, but you have to reach way down inside and you might have to kick Satan right in the balls to accomplish it. […]
