Post to Twitter


dislike button by Sean MacEntee

Over the years I have always been more interested in building the legs by either squatting or deadlifting in my strength training program. Now some of you would argue that deadlifting is more for building "the back," and I would agree with you, but right here you're wrong and I'm right because I'm the one writing the post!

So why am I so set against this machine when talking about trying to metamorphosize from Joe Regular into the THIGH HULK. Well that's why I decided to tackle this in the following post.

Post to Twitter


faith moves mountains by jimalone

"My God given talent is my ability to stick with training longer than anybody else."-- Herschel Walker

The truth is that in order to succeed at any endeavor you've got to have faith in what you are doing. In terms of being either a great athlete or in super great shape you've got to believe in your strength training program, period. Without the belief in what you are doing you might as well be sitting on the couch eating twinkies while breathing louder than anybody in the room.

Gym Or No Gym...Functional Fitness Is A Solution For Weakness.

Post to Twitter


tropical gym by zwieciu

So today the keyword or word phrase is Functional Fitness. So what is functional fitness or functional training?  Well even though this phrase gets thrown around in the fitness community more these days than Kim Kardashian's name does on the latest headlines of entertainment weekly the fact still remains that some so-called professionals miss the mark on it's meaning. By definition functional training involves training that mimics the demands of a given physical activity or individual need. This is where most folks don't realize that even though there may be a lack of resources it doesn't mean that it should be an excuse not to train.

I just thought it would be an eye catching and semi-pertinent photo for the post at hand.
