Three Training Rules I Live By

There is a ton of information out there on training rules.  In fact, there is so much information out there it can be down right confusing.  What movements should I include, how many reps per set, time under tension, rep speed, rest between sets, and the list goes on and on!  I thought I’d add [...]

Minimalist Training - Wk 1 - Day 3

For the time being I’ve decided to use the KISS principle when it comes to my training.  I have everything I need in my 17′x10′ shed plus I have my entire backyard, driveway, and street.  What more do you need or could you ask for?
I know most folks will frown upon training this way but [...]

Sled Training Madness!

While squatting and deadlifting are my two lower body favorites, I’ve incorporated sled training a couple of times per week for some extra lower body work and conditioning. Sleds are a great way to build lower body power and strength.  You drag, push, pull, any which way you want.
My sled is homemade and was incredibly [...]
