The nuts and bolts of our coaching logs and a HUGE THANK YOU and HAPPY HOLIDAYS from the crew at MONSTER GARAGE GYM.
Some Thoughts on my Training
I keep going back and forth about training weights. For some reason, I've decided that 325 (335 w/SSB) is my ceiling for squats. I've rationalized that that's enough stress to put on my hip. Whether or not that's solid thinking or not doesn't really concern me. Same for pulling. This is mostly because I use […]
Friday Training
I decided to play around a bit today. I felt good, but I'm on a good run with the progression and I'm not smart enough to figure it out if I don't do one phase per week, so I just trained today with little guidance. SSB Box Squat 155x5, 205x5, v245x5, 295x5, 335x5 Push-ups 5x10 […]
How to Become Team Elitefts (video)

Hiring a GA
One of my GA's is leaving and I have to hire a new one. In the past I just reached out to people I know to ask. This time I posted the opening on the internet. In 10 days I've gotten about 30 resumes. Some good, some bad. This is the first time I've gone […]

Off-season: GREAT back day + extra hamstring work
Lots of pulling and rowing. Hamstring work tied in as it all ties together with posing. Still working on bringing hammies up.
Back to Normal-Finally
You may recall that I am a person who likes routine and order, I’ve written about it before. I am not a huge fan of chaos, unless I have a few whiskeys in me than all bets are off.
Just ask Spud, Selkow or even the dashingly handsome Casey Williams.
