This letter is to inform you that I am resigning from my position as head strength and conditioning coach. I enjoyed my time while at the university and feel grateful for the knowledge and friendships that I have gained. I feel I owe it to you to offer an explanation as to why I have made this decision.

What makes the Collegiate Power Rack such a great piece of equipment? Just about everything!

I received a call two weeks ago from a friend of mine, and he had some good news for me. About five months ago, he and I were discussing a three-day split that would accommodate his needs and time schedule. He’s an ex-football player, and competes in the 242 lbs class. Like many of you, he’s tried the standard four-day split, but because of work commitments (60+ hours a week) and a long drive time to the gym, he has trouble getting to the gym all the time.

We’ve had the EFS Professional 45-degree back raise in the EFS weight room for about 2–3 years. It’s the best low back strengthener I’ve ever used.

About 12 weeks ago, I started training with a local football player, Caleb Sexton.

I think everyone was holding their breath at this years WPO meet at the Arnold Classic.

Recently I have been flooded with e-mails and questions on the EFS Q/A, and rather than answering them one by one, I decided to put them into an article form so that everyone has access to them. There is a lot of great information in these answers.

I’m going to do is make a list articles and other assorted products that will make things very, very easy for someone navigating this site and trying to learn.

Almost a year ago, Matt Bash and I put our collective heads together and were thinking of different ways to approach our weak point in the deadlift; the lockout.

In many instances team weight training consists of athletes of varying levels of strength preparedness- all performing the same training parameters.

As the sport of MMA progresses so must the specific means and methods of fighter training.

“Strength is an essential component of all human performance and its formal development can no longer be neglected in the preparation of any athlete"

One of the most asked questions throughout the day was “What would you have done differently, if you knew what you know now?” And though I answered the question as best I could, I couldn’t help but rethink the question over and over.

When discussing training, there are many things to consider, such as speed work, building absolute strength, improving form, raising work capacity, recuperation, and selecting exercises and rotating them them in proper sequence to avoid adaptation.
