Hello everyone. In a recent newsletter, I mentioned that this place was going to get revamped, and it is as soon as one road block is cleared. Actually, just looking at this website now is pissing me off because it’s bland an unadventurous, not to mention my newsletter subscription thing to the right is freaking out.

Do strength imbalances cause injury? Or are they a natural adaptation grown out of the impulse to survive? There’s no definitive answer, or so it would seem. Theories of injury causes run amok. But they are all the same in that they are theories. Suppositions. What should be or could be. Not what is.

Athlete Training – How Strong Do I Need To Be, and Is There Strong Enough?

The strength and conditioning industry – all things considered – is booming. Now, more than ever, teams are hiring professional “performance enhancers.” You would think that we would be at an all-time-knowledge-high.

Stop biting your nails. Stop abusing caffeine. Put the toilet seat down. Visit your grandmother. Clean your house. Stop binge drinking. Stop cussing. Don’t have dessert. Don’t drink soft drinks. Stop gambling.

Yeah, right.
On the low end it takes 18 days to change [...]
Of the problems that you can encounter, your mind holds you back the most. No, it’s not your injuries. No, it’s not your equipment. No, it’s not your program. It’s not anything you want to think it is, because you don’t want to blame yourself. No one does. That’s why you pointed fingers on the [...]
For those of you looking for a definitive way to overhead press, you’re not going to find it here (yet). In fact, this post is a cry for help. A cry to anyone that is willing to respond. Because, for the first time, I’m unsure about the overhead press.

Hey readers, just some quick updates for you.
1) I’m going to be changing my schedule. Instead of putting up new content on Wednesday’s and Friday’s, I’m going to change that to one post per week on Thursday. The reason being that I’m starting to dislike how short my posts are getting. I’d rather pick [...]
Back on July 26th, Bret Contreras wrote New Trends in Hip Thrust Performance, which talks about how most benches and boxes are too high hip thrusts.
Originally, I wasn’t a fan of hip thrusts or glute bridges. Most of which will be expanded upon in a larger post, but here are a few.
