OVER Grip the Bar 1/18/2022
Teaching ONE thing gives the lifter an 87% chance of remembering it. Today's lesson (as it was last week as well) Grip the bar much tighter than you think is necessary. Why? You may ask?? Put your elbow in a 90-degree bend while wearing a short sleeve shirt. Squeeze a ball, or another person's hand, […]

The Difference Between 2021 and 2022
I don't want to go down the list of things that sucked last year and complain about how crappy the year was; I've already done that a few times. I am focused on the POSITIVE things that are happening and the things I have to look forward to this year. Suffice it to say that […]
You Can't Handle The Volume!
Repeat this in your best Jack Nicholson voice. If you don't get the reference, you aren't worthy of reading my log.
Do What You Need To Do...not just what you want to do 1/14/2022
I abhor stretching. I think I can find other things to do to occupy my time. I say "I'll stretch later" or "I'll stretch in the shower", but I never seem to fit it in. After all, in the time it takes to stretch, I can run another mile or do some single-leg squat movements. […]

Pop Your Heart Wed. 1/12/2022
I've noticed over the past year that MANY strength athletes are now getting themselves in higher condition levels. I've always maintained if you are going to have a "workhorse" body you better have a "workhorse" engine (heart/lungs). Taking off the unusable body weight is only helpful to those aging fragile joints. Lessen the loads, wide […]
The Secret to Success is...1/11/2022
There are many roads to success, but I find "Talent" to be among the greatest. You have to question often what talents you have in order to succeed? For me, one of my GREATEST talents and the one that has helped me most in life is I DO NOT QUIT! If you have only ONE […]
Good Mornings 1/10/2022
We did Seated Good Mornings today. From a coaching point, I teach ONE thing per session for each person to work on. That way they have an 87% chance of remembering it. If I teach TWO things, the percentage of what they remember drops down to 33%! Imagine that? If I teach THREE things, then […]
COVID Got Me
Just like everyone else these last 4 weeks, I finally succumbed to the rapture that is covid.
Forgive Me While I Figure My Sh!t Out
Sometimes you can feel lost with training. Sometimes you can feel lost with life, Unfortunately, sometimes it's both.
Two Things I Like...1/7/2022
The two things I like: Sports Prep Work for Sports Today's Training: Run: 3-mile fartlek Man o man I am so into these "speed play" runs these days. Instead of a steady monotoned pounding, the sprinting and then slowing when your lungs fall out seem to make the distance go by much faster. PLUS...I enjoy […]
If It's Not One Thing, It's another. 1/6/2022
I am definitely not a complainer. I in fact have "Rule 67" that states..."No Complaining", so I write about an issue to let those people know that read my stuff that WE ALL suffer from time to time, minor setbacks and NO ONE is above the natural law. (Although I try) For the past three […]
