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 […]

4/4/2022 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, […]

3/30/2022 Yea it's heavy. That's why we call it weight!
At this point in this training cycle, we have raised the weight on the main lifts by 60 lbs except for the overhead press which has been raised by 30 lbs. So YES, it is getting heavy. Stay with it as we switch to MY version of the 6-4-2 next week. Today's Training: Bike: Commute: […]
3/29/2022 Pop Your Heart Tuesday
I have a friend who has struggled with his weight for YEARS! When I say, "I have BIG friends", I am not speaking of the fellas that you grew up with that are 220 lbs. I am speaking of B I G friends!!! 6'5" and taller and weighing closer to 350 lbs on up. Anyway, […]
3/28/2022 It wouldn't be me if I didn't...
If I didn't get comfortable with the uncomfortable, it would be me and I couldn't give anyone a rash of crap that I am notorious for. Man the fuck up and git er done! It hardly EVER rains here in California. As a matter of fact, we are in the middle of another drought and […]
5/3/1 - Running With The Devil
With adding up to 15 miles of running a week into my training, something had to change. Luckily I knew just who to talk to.
3/25/2022 Forearm Plank
How to do it: Rest your forearms on the floor, with your elbows directly underneath your shoulders and hands facing forward so that your arms are parallel. Extend your legs out behind you and rest your toes on the floor. Your body should form one straight line from your shoulders to your heels. Squeeze your […]
The Training Year: Act 3 - Spring Practice
Spring Football is upon us. We get 5 weeks of training and 4 weeks of football. I kind of like tis because I get to introduce the in-season training a week before practice officially starts. When we played our covid season last spring and then again this past fall I opted not to Squat. This […]
