Short Workouts Tip #2

By admin | Published: March 3, 2010

You don’t need a lot of volume if you make training hard enough and you don’t need a lot of volume for strength except in special situations. Both of the routines I mentioned yesterday that led me to my all time best in those lifts only contained five to eight sets total and most [...]

The Point of Diminishing Returns

By admin | Published: February 8, 2010

I had a strength coach in college who first started talking to me about, “a point of diminishing returns.” At the time I heavily disagreed with him. In fact for the most part I still do. His premise was that after a player could squat 500lbs or so (really talking about Linemen in football), [...]

This one is from the archives – bending a 11/16 Craftsmen Wrench. It wasn’t easy, but no one ever said effective training was.

I’ve been talking about kettlebells a lot here recently and for good reason. They’re great tools for building strength and endurance. You know about the large swing numbers I’ve been doing in my training. But sometimes I go in the other direction, using much more weight, well over 100 lbs. The problem is getting a [...]
