Hulk Smashing Some Misconceptions On Strength Training For Women...

So today I'm going to attempt to smash down some common themes and issues that tend to come up when involving strength training for women. You know the ones I'm talking about. Things like going above 5 lbs. will turn a lady into the She-Hulk, although I would argue the She-Hulk is hot to trot. I mean just look at the picture above! Ok, maybe She-Hulk was a bad example, but perhaps her male counterpart would've been the better comparison. Nevertheless, I'm going to look at some ways that I can help you ladies and the rest of you that might be interested to smash through these very misconceptions in a HULK style fashion! Read more

Muay Thai Strength And Conditioning...Training For A Mule Kick!!!

The older I get the more I realize just how truly incredible the power of language can be. That's right, I said language.  The ability of being able to communicate a message to one another is a very powerful and essential thing. I may be sounding like Captain Obvious (Using the Captain Obvious Reference again )here, however even though we may be capable of communicating a message to one another sometimes the receiver of that message may not always interpret our message the way we intended it to be communicated. Let that sink in for a second. Hopefully you are interpreting this message the way I intended it to be. So where am I going with this? Just keep reading Grasshopper!

The Holiday Slap!

Tis the season to be jolly, but not fat and worthless. At least not completely. As the Christmas and holiday season approaches your training regimen can risk taking a hit like a slap straight to the face. That little voice is inside my head right now saying "Brandon don't let it happen." I hope that yours is doing the same. With all of the chaos lately the slap has tried to connect to my cheek bone, but I've learned how to duck and dodge it! At least so it only grazes me and doesn't hit me with full force.

Exercise Flooded Training vs. Small Exercise Selection...Don't Get Stupid!

I am always joking and also serious about reminding my clients and friends NOT to get stupid with their training. Yes, I had my dose of smart ass today and now I'm taking it out on the folks that try to flood their training sessions with too much. It seems that the craze for a lot of trainers,coaches, and trainees in some environments today is that more is better! This usually results in the mindset that more hours in the gym, more exercises to implement, and more difficult to perform drills should be implemented. Don't get me wrong I love new and innovative things, but when it comes to the programming of your strength and conditioning program you, your coach, or your trainer shouldn't lose site of what is practical! So what is practical? No, that is not a stupid question. Keep on reading.

10 General Ideas To Help You Adapt, Overcome, And Become Awesomely Tough...

The world is crazy right now. The country (U.S.) seems to be out of control in a lot of ways these days. The media seems to always report negative stories on the wars, the economy, the failure of our politicians, and fear is something that is in control of a lot of people. Well I say to hell with fear! My dad has always taught me that when life gets tough you get tougher. I think that there is a time in every man or woman's life that he or she has to make the decision to "dig in their heels" and "roll up their sleeves" to prepare for a fight. Read more
