How Do I Get Started in Super Strength and Endurance?

By admin | Published: February 22, 2010

There are different kinds of super strength. What are you going after?

I was reading through some of the responses to our recent survey regarding how to best get the right training info to all you out there and a few of the comments/questions struck me. This is one of them. The gentleman asked basically, “I have lots of info on training but how do I get started toward super strength and endurance?”

It struck me that this would be great to answer and you almost never see anyone really talk about this step by step – so here it is!

So let’s assume you have a decent base of general knowledge (i.e., know what a kettlebell is, what Powerlifting/strongman, etc. is) and that you want to get super strength and endurance. Who wouldn’t want it right? Well actually not as many people as you think, even in the hardcore training world. Just suffice it to say that its not something you really “want” if you’re not willing to put out the time and effort to get it.

First thing then to do is answer some questions:

1) What is super strength and endurance to me? There are many valid expressions of super strength/endurance. Which one do you want? Now on some levels they all …click to read more

By admin | Published: February 17, 2010

Jedd Johnson

In our final week of the Strongerman Teleseminar Series we have the Diesel Crew’s Jedd Johnson. Due to a scheduling conflict we’ll be having this call on Wednesday instead of Tuesday. We’ll be talking about how to build a world class grip, with some specifics on the pinch, among with much else.

If you haven’t already you can sign up by clicking here.

Had a great call with Dan Cenidoza last night. We got into great discussions continuing on muscle control from last week, talking about intuitive training and more.

The secrets of muscle control and how a little practice can benefit your lifting
The intuitive style of training. Who should do it and how?
How to increase your steel bending
What Shaolin monks and American weightlifters have in common
Two programs Dan used to boost his pressing
And much more

Our members will find the recording and tip sheet already up in the bonuses section. There’s also a new grip specific workout as well as the fourth and final video added to the discussion on volume and intensity.

God bless,
Bud Jeffries

P.S. Thanks again to everyone who filled out the survey. You’ll be hearing about some of the results soon and we’re excited about everything that’ll be coming to help you achieve the strength and endurance you want and deserve.

My Typical Diet

By admin | Published: February 16, 2010

Many nutrition philosophies tend to go all or nothing and vilify certain foods. It’s a mistake. Low carb says all carbs are bad. Low fat says all fat is bad. Many diet people say pizza or a cheese burger is the Devil. I don’t believe any particular food is bad in and of itself. Many of those same foods are however evil when prepared commercially.

Pizza in its original form was whole wheat flour bread with natural cheese, tomatoes, herbs and maybe a vegetable or meat. That is healthy. Pizza Hut is not and what they make chemically isn’t even in the same universe.

A hamburger in its original form should be a good cooked natural beef, whole wheat bread with possibly …clcik to read more

Nutrition Specifics

By admin | Published: February 15, 2010

I gave last week’s general rant on nutrition because I felt like it would be necessary as background to begin to understand why I do the specific things I do with food. Here is more on my actual personal specifics with some of why I do them.

I eat when I’m hungry not by a strict clock/”it’s lunch time,”/every “x” hour pattern. I usually eat two meals a day. I feel like that generally splits the calories the best to keep energy up. I believe it’s important to digest food fully which is why it’s not every two hours. It’s more important what you “utilize” not just keep stuffing in. Usually for me hunger-wise the first meal is two to four hours after I get up, but again I follow hunger. That means some days are just one meal and some might be three. Generally my first meal is lighter or smaller than my second meal. Not necessarily “small,” but often …click to read more

Nutrition Overview

By admin | Published: February 12, 2010

The other day a question came in on nutrition, specifically on how I eat. So today I’ll give you an overview and get into the details in the next couple posts.

Hi Bud:
Thanks for all the wonderful information that you give us from the site and other links. It really inspires and gives the impetus to move towards the goals one has set for oneself.

I have a question and this is probably out of scope here and also personal;)

What is your typical nutrition in a day, I mean YOUR eating habits? I am nowhere near you in terms of size or strength, but I have been reading about your swing cycling workouts and I am thinking what does a guy that possesses strength of your calibre eat to not go out of wind when you do these ultra-long cardio style workouts?!

Your reply as always would be highly informative and useful.

Thanks a ton Bud!

God Bless.
Ni’n

I actually have a great deal to say on nutrition that I’ll be putting out in articles soon. Some of this may surprise you. One thing is that I don’t believe in …click to read more

Strongerman Survey

By admin | Published: February 8, 2010

The whole goal of this site is not to show off what I can do. The point is to help you attain the strength and endurance that you want. All the information is directed to you.

I can guess what you want. And that may work to a point, but it would be much better if you tell me exactly what you want. That’s why its survey time!

Its not a long survey but its not super short either. So as my way of saying thanks for taking your time out to fill it out and let me know what you want I’m going to give you a gift.

After you finish the survey you’ll be able to download one of our Strongerman Teleseminar Series calls. And you’ll get one of the best featuring John Brookfield. That’s almost 80 minutes of pure strength and endurance building information. All that for the approximately 4 minutes it’ll take to complete this survey.

God bless,
Bud Jeffries

P.S Not every question is required but please take your time to fill out the answers. The better info you give us, the better we can serve you with the site in the future. Take the survey by clicking here.

The Point of Diminishing Returns

By admin | Published: February 8, 2010

Bud's Football Picture

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 stopped working the squat hard to emphasize other physical attributes. My real disagreement wasn’t with the idea, it was that the idea of 500lb squats being strong enough for a 280-300lb college Lineman was the point of diminishing returns.

As I’ve grown I realize that balance in training, especially for an athlete (and anybody else really – it’s just emphasis on different things for different needs), is inarguably important. My view at the time (and probably still now) was skewed for strength. You can never really have enough. However the issue is more complicated than that.

I don’t think the problem was/is over-emphasis on the squat (really any reality based heavy lift could go here); it’s an issue of under expectations and under emphasis on the other …click to read more

Handstand Pushups

By admin | Published: February 5, 2010

Think handstand pushups are only for tiny gymnasts? Think again. Big guys can do them too if they train smart and hard. Here I am cranking out the handstand pushups at about 275 lbs.

Did you like this short video series on pushups? Yes or no, comment below. And look out for something big next week that I’ll need your help on.

God bless,
Bud Jeffries

P.S. There are many different ways to do handstand pushups. Logan has a book available on them. And we’ll be re-releasing my pushups course sometime soon too.

Weighted Explosive Pushups

By admin | Published: February 4, 2010

Make sure you watch the first video in this series on explosive pushups.

In this variation you’re going to be adding weight to an explosive pushup without the use of a weight vest. By exploding off the ground and rowing the barbell up you’ll have to work harder than in the normal clapping pushup.
