Today at the facility we held a annual class as we always do on major holidays.  I always get a good turnout as most want to burn the calories they will consume later in the day..... Right after I had a 1-1 with a 13yr old wrestler.  He only weighs 85lbs but safety bar squatted […]

Today our lifters hit floor press to wrap the week up.  Everyone set a Pr.  To me even a 1lb improvement is just that=improvement.  Great to see.  After that they all hit accessory work for the upper body to compliment the session. As far as for me..........today was brutal, spent the whole night up coughing. […]

Today our Powerlifting squad hit some speed deads against bands.  The tension was heavy and the percentage was high.  Everyone pulled great.  Can't wait to see how this translates to next week for them. I pulled some yesterday out of the rack felt great.  I can actually pull from patella level and not get too […]

Today our lifters hit some speed bench against bands. Again the band tension and weight was more than the last couple weeks.  Afterwards they hit a lot of accessory work DB mils, DB shrugs, variations of band pulls, triceps and biceps. I didn't lift today just did some light abs and called it.  Really look […]

Today our powerlifting squad hit their mobility work then headed to speed squats against bands for 6x2.  This week is their heaviest on weight and band tension of the three week wave.  Afterwards they hit some heavy kettle bells, step ups, and conditioning. Kyle (one of our top lifters 275lbs) took last week off after […]

3 weeks to go. Diet numbers are pretty decent. Every day is a bit better.

I was going to say I was just holding water or I was distended but ... we all know what that usually means: FAT.

just to annoy them.

The only reason I went light today is because I’m weak as poo right now and had no other option.

Respect the bubble!

When I sit in my high ivory tower and create the World’s Greatest Program for someone to follow it does not mean that every exercise, amount of sets, RPE assignment or variation is what they need to do today.

Training to stay #GASSTATIONREADY

First squat work out over 500 in a few months.

Oliver was struggling to get motivated. I told him that I would pull with him. He was already at 500.

have been when a website told me my password was "Very Strong"

Appreciate what you have, it can always be worse. It also helps to remember that no matter how bad a situation is it will eventually pass. Everything changes.
