New Year’s Strength Training Motivation

After asking Henry for his permission (and being granted) to post this article, I am happy to present to you in my mind one of the best articles ever written about what it means to lift.

Vaccinating Yourself Against Body Fat

Dear Visitors,
This week I’ve shared with you two blog posts in which Dr
John Berardi talks about losing body weight (and body fat).
The first one talks about how important incentives are for
changing your body. And it goes on to incentivize you with
a whopping $40,000 in prize money.

The best kept secret in weight (and fat) loss

Dear Visitors,
The other day I sent out an email link to a video of Dr John

Prepare for the Worst to Be the Best

Ok, so this blog has little to do with strength training or speed enhancement. I simply felt that I needed to get this off my chest. Student-athletes often forget the first portion of the “student-athlete” title and only focus on the latter.
Having worked in a professional organization, I know the harsh realities of trying to [...]

How Badly do You Want It?

I love it when I come across people and they tell me about what they want to achieve. They’ll tell me about their program and their eating habits, but as soon as I provide them with any extra work or direction, the answer normally results in the same response: “I can’t do that!” or the [...]

Obliterating Obstacles & Achieving Success

There are athletes who take their role seriously. Others, not so much. But for those that do, the task of balancing work, school and playing a sport can be an ominous task.
