Three Important Exercises You Forgot About (Part 1)
Planks Remember planks? When training the, “core” was the new hotness? It seems that back then planks were enough of a challenge for us. But now we have 100 anti-rotation presses (Pallof Press) variations, all kinds of chops and lifts, rollers, the TRX, Extreme Core Trainers (for landmines), etc. Now before you start that forum post, I am not saying those are in anyway bad or that they do not have value in your program. But with all of these variations we can sometimes forget... Read More

The Little Things: Grip Training
A lot of trainers and coaches out there tell lifters you need to deal with the big rocks first. OK, I can see where they are coming from but that is a bit too, “one-size-fits-all” for me. Sure, if you only have 60 minutes to train, 3-days a week, take care of the big rocks. But I am guessing that many of the people that will actually take the time to read this have more that 60 minutes to train, or at least will make the time to have a high quality training session. So if... Read More

Creatine is for Women Too!
By: Jen Heath As a trainer, I always recommend that my clients take creatine, unless they are completely opposed to it. There is no reason why any beginner or experienced lifter should not experience the benefits creatine has to offer. Creatine will help make any woman stronger. Strength is directly related to an increase in muscle size and volume. More muscle makes it easier to burn fat. The more muscle you have, the more you can eat (yay!) and the more you can eat, the more... Read More
The Interrogation: Dan John
Dan John is the first victim of “The Interrogation.” Enjoy. KL: Why did you do The Velocity Diet? DJ: I needed a jump start. Like I said over and over and over again in the threads, it had little to do with fat loss (although it worked well) and more to do with me getting back some self discipline and some focus for the next few years. I wanted to redirect my relationships with food and drink. KL: What was the hardest part? DJ: Well, as I mentioned, it was having people... Read More
