She-Hulk_#1_Blind_lady_Justice by Greeeeeeeeeeg

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!

David & Goliath by artydesigns

This weekend one of my dedicated students placed number 2 in the NATION at the WKA nationals! Jet you are a champion my friend and I just wanted to take this opportunity to tip my cap to you Jeff, Mark, and Dan this week for being dedicated to the strength and conditioning workouts that I throw in front of you! Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make the trip, but was keeping up with the play by play through facebook. It was my understanding that Jet (my student) was outsized by most of the competition, but that he pretty much decimated everyone in his path on his way to the championship bout. I would say that at the young age of 19 with a bit of experience he’ll be in that number 1 spot in no time!

Knights of the Damned by redshift27

Call the squire and inform him that Sir BR is about to show his fellow knights a way to build on their already mean jousting skills! I was up late Saturday night (post Saturday Night Live), yeah that late! Anyways, I came across a very interesting show on the History channel called Full Metal Jousting. Yes, believe it or not it was about modern day Knights suiting up in armored gear, jumping on horseback, and galloping towards one another at killer speeds while trying to plant a large stick (a lance) on the shoulder of their opponent to knock his ass off his horse! Crazy sport right? I sure thought so which is why I kept on watching. As a strength and conditioning coach I couldn’t help but study their techniques and movements and try to come up with a sort of strength and conditioning assessment for the needs of the modern day Sir Lancelot!

Hourglass #2 - Kum saati #2 by oozhan

Time is always a factor! Whether you’re running a business, robbing a bank, or trying to fit your strength training in at some point during the day time is always the thing that has to be considered. Ok maybe the robbing the bank part was a bad example, but for most folks it’s not easy to fit in an effective strength training session due to time constraints. If it were easy then everybody would do it, right? Well I’m here to ease your mind because time doesn’t have to be the reason for being unproductive and weak! Keep on reading to discover how my friend.

Georgia Tough Mudder

So what is the Tough Mudder? Well, it’s basically a hard ass adventure run that tests your physical and mental grit in every way possible! The Tough Mudder consists of 12 miles of misery that basically involves a battery of very innovative obstacle courses that are designed to make you want to quit, go home, and cry for mommy! These obstacle courses were designed by the British Special Forces and after seeing and hearing about the difficulty I certainly believe it!
