Today we started our next couple weeks.  The squad hit front squats for heavy 8's.  We had some impressive lifting today was good to see everyone getting after it.  After that the crew hit some more lower body movements to compliment the training session. Andrew has a meet this coming up Sunday.  His training cycle […]

Today our lifters hit some upper body movements.  They hit heavy three boards for doubles.  After that they hit some heavy back and a lot of push-ups at the end to finish them off. I hit some quick rack pulls due to time restrictions.  The weights are coming up as is my body weight.  I […]

Today our Powerlifitng Squad hit some heavy rack pulls for doubles.  The heighth was patella tendon level.  After that they did some heavy squat machine reps and lower body movements to compliment the session.  We have been adding some mobility/stretching into our template and it looks as if it is payin off. As far as […]

Week 3 was a week of hell. Somehow I enjoyed every minute of it. (I may have issues)

I'm closing in on starting the youth program for next week.   I've already determined how the first practice is going to unfold.  Based on the cluster F that happened this past lacrosse season, I am going to lay down the rules to the PARENTS in the first two minutes. "Happy that their son is […]

Close to 60 Q & A's.

Squat and Dead Lifts Saturday

Loads of training philosophies exist regarding best practices and how a team should or should not train as a unit. This log explores this very topic. HD TRAINING FOOTAGE INCLUDED. A MUST SEE/READ COACHING LOG!!!!

Hot day here.  I think we might even top 100 degrees.  I absolutely LOVE it when it gets blistering hot.  Everyone heads indoors for air conditioning and I will head OUT.  Usually the feeling of being this alone is reserved for my 4:00 AM bike ride into the gym, but there is an eeriness to […]

I SET A GOAL AND I HIT IT. IT'S NOT A HEAD TURNING PERFORMANCE, BUT IT'S A FAR CRY FROM WHERE I STARTED.

Happy to be progressing again.

Back from the dead with a shaved head............

As a coach and a Dad...I am very happy to say that my son is getting influenced by some really great roll models. We lost to the top seed L.A. Kings in the second overtime shootout and didn't advance to the Championship Game last weekend.  It was a ONE Second heartbreaker. I shared the Head […]
