Day 179 of 365: Turn Up The Volume!

Many of you out there probably are what we call, "Hard-Gainers".  All this means is that you have a tough time putting on lean mass.  For you, and those like you, I want to introduce Volume Training.  Here's the dirty on this training style...
Volume training is basically packing as many quality repetitions of a movement or movements in a small duration using an interval-type structure.  This will make more sense when you see the video below.  All you really need to know is that if you couple volume work, moderate or heavy speed lifts, and an increase in the amount of QUALITY food you eat, you will soon find yourself needing to go on a shopping spree to buy new shirts and jeans!

 
Now, I need to have the attention of the ladies out there for a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
Using the above prescription will NOT make you look like this!


 I know that the ladies out there automatically think that as soon as they touch any sort of weight, that they will instantly blow up and end up looking like a NFL linebacker.  Let me set your mind at ease...
In order to look even close to picture above, a female has to call upon some special "vitamins" that artificially boost the body's ability to build lean mass quickly. 
Listen.  If anything, this form of training will allow you to build strength while amplifying the beneficial effects of exercise.  Just take Lindsay as an example.  She's been doing Strictly Strength for several months.  She has continued to see gains in strength and power and it is obvious that she is not bulky at all!  I would urge you to just simply implement this training....if you don't like the results you see, quit.  
Easy!  
I know you won't, so the ball is in your court!

Day 137 of 365: Simply A BEAST!

One of my distance athletes and blog readers sent this video to me today, and I thought it was worth sharing. 
 It's purpose is pretty simple: To open your eyes to what is possible. 
This dude is a straight-up BEAST!!!
Not to mention, he's entertaining and has a great attitude about his training.
Check it out and drop some comments on my blog or on Facebook.

Day 68 of 365: Spice Up Your Press

How many of you out there are tired of the same old press routine?
I know that as a coach, I find myself becoming bored with all the usual training methods.  So, I always take it upon myself to mix it up as often as possible for my athletes as well as myself.  I can't stand doing the same, lame shit all the time.  That's why I love the Conjugate System that Westside Barbell utilizes to build the strongest mothas on the planet!  The same goes for Zach Even-Esh's, Underground Strength training style - that shit is intense, but is varied enough that athletes see huge gains quickly.
My point here is that if you are using a routine, you are not tapping into your true, ultimate strength.  
Here is one way to throw your body a major curve ball and elicit a potent response...
