For non-athletes and athletes alike. A training plan without goals is a waste of time. Prehab/Rehab exercises, structural strength, power-endurance progressions, and monitored-aerobic work, targeted for creating a bigger base and burn unwanted fat.
Can't lose weight? Gain muscle? It isn't as simple as calories in calories out.
Nutrition/diet is one of the most highly debated topics in my field, as if it were religion. Athlete and non-athlete alike, it is AS important if not MORE than your actual training. Just like training, there has to be a purpose or a reason for what you put into your body. Physical goals of putting […]
Wolves think and operate in small packs if not alone. Sheep follow everyone and everything else. Last night I watched the “Live Open Announcement of 16.4” and one of the questions that came to Dave Castro, the Director of the Crossfit Games, was “How much time do you spend on programming for the open?”. It […]

I have not written in a while, unfortunately I have no excuse. I hope to write more As Mark Twight said, “I am fucking rabid today”. People want to stand on the street corner (social media) and say they are bringing their blue-collar lunch pail and *earning* their lunch. They deserve everything that […]
In the world of strength and conditioning/crossfit/fitness, I feel programming is one of the hottest debated topics, next to the carbohydrate but nonetheless, programming is at the heart of strength and conditioning coaches/trainers. Let’s face it, the coach/trainer that can get results is better than a trainer that doesn’t. Everything in this world is communication […]
Do you ever second guess your coach? I don’t necessarily mean go against what they say as they coach you but, 2nd guessing their entire approach on how they help you? Do you wonder when they tell you things, do they do the same? “Dig deep!” “Get some!” “You have to focus” “You neglect and […]
What is your excuse? Too often, especially in the gym, excuses are an everyday occurrence. People have reasons why they can’t do this or can’t do that.
