The Garage Gym (With Video)
By: Kevin Larrabee, CSCS Yeah, I get it, you have to drive 30 minutes each way to the facility you train at. Then there is bad weather, holidays when it is closed, and the desire to spend more time with your family (or dog). And yes, I do know, because these last 18 months I have driven 30-60 minutes each way to train at Cressey Performance or recently to when I was working. That is sometimes 10+ hours spent in the car per week not accounting for traffic/weather. These are the... Read More

By: Kevin Larrabee, CSCS This book has been a long time in the making.

And yes, I said in the car. Why? Because Leigh went through the trouble of doing an audio book version as well! Perfect for me and obviously you if you listen to the FitCast on your iPod, computer,... Read More

TRX Suspension Training: My Take
By: Kevin Larrabee, CSCS I got my TRX’s in the mail the other day, but this afternoon I really put them to the test. That test being: can I save myself 60 minutes of driving to the gym and still get in a kick ass training session. Well, I got my answer. HELL YES. I warmed up as I normally do with my PVC pipe and some select movements from Nick Tumminello’s Warm-Up DVDs. (The progressions in these DVDs are very useful.) I hooked up the TRX to a garage door support... Read More
