Something Bad Happened… How to Maintain Your Training While Hurt
“Something Bad Happened” Those were the three words that came out seconds after partially tearing my left pec on March 22, 2010 while barbell bench pressing. Just over three years ago… History has a way of repeating itself. Last week I had a similar experience, but there was only one word with a lot of letters… “FFFFUUUUCCCCKKKK!!!” The... Read More

Exercise of the Week: Eccentric TRX Row
I love me some eccentric work! Although, if you are someone that stays sore for a few days after a lift, I would advise you to slowly work eccentric reps into your program. The TRX Row is a godly exercise. It is a staple in my program as well as my clients. Some weeks I might do 150-180 TRX rows thanks to having one hanging in my apartment at all times. If you are at a desk and... Read More
Flux Programming: How to Program for Your Lifestyle
In Arnold Schwarzenegger’s new book, ”Total Recall,” he recounted the days when he would train 5-6 hours each day in preparation for his bodybuilding competitions. And for him, that amount of time was justified, was able to be budgeted in his incredibly busy days, and in the end proved to be worth it as he stood on stage winning six consecutive years at the...

Must Have Fitness and Nutrition E-Books: Part 1
Personally, I hate the term “E-Book.” It sounds derogatory. Like these books are some how lesser than other books. In my opinion, ebooks have been an amazing creation for distributing information in an instant instead of waiting for the UPS guy to how up 5 days after I paid for something. In the last 4-5 years I must have read over 60 ebooks from various authors in... Read More
