Back In The Saddle
Do you to realize you have never seen your face in person, just reflections and pictures? Have you ever heard your voice on a recording? Mine sounds different than the way it sounds in my head. I wonder if I LOOK like my photos and reflection, or if I might be better looking than my perception […]
7/18- Deadlifts off 2” Blocks and Raw Speed Squats w/video
I haven’t done speed squats in a long time, and haven’t done them raw in even longer. Although it wasn’t much weight I was happy with my speed.
Training Catch-up
I've been busy and haven't posted in a while. I'll try to catch up with what I've been doing. I'm still tweaking my new template, but I'm really enjoying training again. Weird how you go through phases of interest. I'm pretty settled on this: Squat/Deadlift: 5's Pro (heavy work) Press/Bench: FSL (lighter volume work) Rows […]

Big pulls this week for my final heavy week before deadlifting. I marked my 6th 900+ deadlift session this month with 935x3 followed by 960x2 off the floor, with one more block pull session left before I deadlift.
Saturday
Today most of our Powerlifitng squad competed at the IPA Battle of the Beast Powerlifting meet in Nashville Tenn. We had 8 lifters getting after it. Let me first say in the last year or so we have shifted the attitude on our team and got rid of a few distractions. Watching the team get […]
Monday's Are The Best
I'm sure some will remember the Etch A Sketch doodling toy. It had a screen with some magic sand inside, and two knobs at the bottom that would move the arm inside vertically and horizontally by twisting them. When you were done with one spider web drawing, all you had to do was turn it […]

The Four Essential Steps Your Athletes Need to Take
Not having these four components in the development process is problematic. Not initiating them in the proper sequences could be even worse
Summer Football Program Notes
As we near the end of our summer workouts I'm looking back at the success and failures of my program. Not just the sets and reps, but the mental side, as well. Anyone that knows anything about training knows that the program really doesn't matter. What matters is if the kids buy in to what […]

HEAVY BENCH DAY JUXTAPOSED WITH LIGHT/RECOVERY BENCH DAY [HD VIDEO INCLU...
Sometimes powerlifting training is about running full blast and smashing through the door to get inside….sometimes powerlifting training it is about slowly walking up to the door and merely turning the knob to get inside.

Game Time...Squat "Knockout"
Who doesn't like making things fun by keeping score? We are ALL competitive with each other as well as ourselves. I have the most excellent group of people that train with me. They're usually UP for almost anything. Today we took that competitiveness and turned it into a "Do or Die", an exercise in bifurcation. […]
