Pay Attention To This One Thing To Optimize Your Progress
There are a lot of variables and many facets to gaining muscle, losing body fat, or doing both at the same time (yes, you can do both at the same time). However, there is one thing that stands out above everything else and if you focus on it and look for it, you will be […]
4/15/2022 Practice an unnecessary hyper grip
I like to create tension. No, not that kind that you get with all the drama but the tension that is used to create more muscle innervation. To do that, one of the easiest methods I find helpful is to "over-grip." or "choke the shit out of..." every bar that you hold. We could use […]
4/14/2022 Trying to Understand some People...
Trying to understand some people is like trying to pick up a turd by the clean end. Today's Training: Bike Commute: 28 mins Prowler: 10x80 yards Then to make sure everyone was keeping their own records by logging into their own notebooks I wrote on my Whiteboard..."Same workout as Monday" It was easy for those […]
4/13/2022 I am not very good at "multi-tasking"
I'm one of those guys that have to turn down the car radio to look for an address. If I try to do more than two things at the same time (as in super setting) then I'm not going to get ANYTHING done. About the only thing I can do fairly well is pissing people […]

VIDEO: Blast Cycles, Business, and My Back Injury
For the last two months I've been putting out QnA videos on YouTube. It seems that I have a small very steady group of followers that actually have a lot of questions. GOOD QUESTIONS. So once per week I put up a video where they can ask questions below and then a few days later […]
While Cutting, Make The Training Fit The Diet
While cutting, make the training fit the diet, not the other way around.
4/8/2022 Slow Twitch/Fast Twitch
Because there are four dyes that are used to determine muscle fiber (I think there might be more if we had more dyes) the training I do focuses on each during some part of our training. Fast Twitch Glycolytic, Slow Twitch Glycolytic, Fast Twitch Oxidative, and Slow Twitch Oxidative are the four I know of […]
4/7/2022 People that Pronounce the word...
People who pronounce the word "vase" like "voz" make me want to punch them in the foz. Yesterday I made a statement that I was amazed at anyone near my age that doesn't suffer from either a shoulder issue or a hip issue that has played sport as a younger person and trained their asses […]
4/6/2022 Dance Like No One is Watching?
I danced like no one was watching. I like to dance. Problem was that someone WAS watching and they thought I was having a seizure, and that fucker called an ambulance.

4/4/2022 Deadlifts were once called the "health lift"
Years ago, as in the 1800s, there was a medical doctor that would go to the "gymnasium" to work out. The gyms back then had all kinds of ropes, rings, high bars, or gymnastic types of apparatus. The pegboards and dowel rod racks along with a few boxing types of exercises would round out the […]
What Do You Do Between Sets?
Are you using your time between sets optimally or for entertainment? I have a story for you.
This Is Really Easy
I probably get on some people's nerves when I say that getting lean is incredibly easy. Before you blast me and say that I am always lean or it's only easy for me, you're wrong; don't say it. If it is easy for me, it should be easy for the vast majority of people because […]
4/1/2022 I LOVE April Fools Day and a 1000 rep arm routine!!!
I get a wild hair every now and again, and on the bike ride in today, I said to myself that I'd jump off the bike, open the gate to the outer compound, grab a Prowler, and have at it. No procrastination, no delay, just GO! Once a month we do 1000 reps for just […]
Strongman: The Year 2003
It has been a wild month! Just to start the post off, my week began with a serious conversation with a Doctor. He was looking at some images of my body and telling me he knew I wouldn't listen but that my training days were numbered. Tonight I began looking back on some old files, […]
