Review: Functional Strength Coach 3.0
There are three or four people in the industry that I turn to for the latest and greatest in strength and conditioning. Mike Boyle is at the top of that list.

Yes, there is tons of information in these 8 DVDs, but the most important aspect of this package is Mike. Just watching him present... Read More
Review: Body By Eats
By: Kevin Larrabee, CSCS This book has been a long time in the making.

Review: Maximum Strength
By: Kevin Larrabee For those that listen to the podcast, you already know that I trained with Eric Cressey for the summer of 2007. During that time I saw a 150lb increase in my deadlift 1RM (1 repetition max), a 60lb increase in my bench press 1RM, and a 70lb increase in my squat 1RM. Pretty good progress for 12 weeks, isn’t it? Ever since then I have been “addicted” to getting stronger. After reading this book and doing the 16-week program, I trust that you will feel the... Read More
