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), they [...]

Did you like this short video series on pushups? Yes or no, comment below. And look out for something big next [...]

Bending a 11/16 Craftsmen Wrench

By admin | Published: January 18, 2010

This one is from the archives – bending a 11/16 Craftsmen Wrench. It wasn’t easy, but no one ever said effective training was. (Except the TV informercials, and we both know that‘s not effective training.) Bending a Craftsmen Wrench By watching this video you can learn something about effort, determination and adapting.

Make Your Own T Handle Kettlebell

By admin | Published: January 15, 2010

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 [...]

Take one thing as far as you can

By admin | Published: December 23, 2009

In exercise there has always been a debate on using just a few exercises and pushing them very hard so that you are strong all over or using the widest variety possible and hoping that will make you overall strong. The difference between just getting a huge power squat versus a good squat, as well [...]
