Strength and Movement Just Stratch The Surface

I have some very simple and general goals for myself, my personal and distance clients and you the reader. Forget anything very specific here. I’m not talking about your deadlift numbers or your RKC snatch test. Simply, I want all of us to be able to lift pain free, move pain free and have excellent [...]

Post Powerlifting Notes

I competed in my first power lifting meet a few weeks ago. I was pretty pleased with the results but didn’t do quite as well as I hoped. First of all, I ended up competing at 198 instead of the planned 181. I was in “no man’s land,” stuck between the two weight classes and [...]

My Last Deadlift Session Before Mid Atlantic Power Meet

This is a tape of my last single rep before my RAW United Power lifting meet on April 16th. I will be competing in the 45-49 Masters Ironman group. That is no wraps, no belt and no other gear. Just a singlet. I have my final squat and bench press session scheduled for this coming [...]

Why Logan Why? Or Why It’s Not 301 Snatch Reps

I really don’t even know where to begin to be honest with you. So many thoughts have come to mind as I was driving today back from Philadelphia. All I can promise is that I will do my best to explain my thoughts as eloquently as I can. Logan Christopher RKC is a good guy [...]

Jillian Michaels Should Do a Metabolic Swing Like This

Jillian Michaels and My Trainer Bob have done all of us a great favor. They continue to demonstrate how to NOT use kettlebells safely and effectively. The kettlebell is one great fitness tool but like any tool, it can be misused or down right abused. So why have they bothered to share their nonsense? Well [...]

A Farmer Weighs in on Whey

Guest Blog Post from Sandra Kay Miller, Author of From Pasture To Plate I am not an athlete or a nutritionist. I don’t even belong to a gym.  I’m a grass-based farmer and sustainable foods advocate.  A firm believer in the harmful disconnect from the production and ultimately, the integrity of our food, I’ve chosen [...]

Why You Need To be Doing Joint Mobility Work And Why You Need to Use A Foam Roller

If you are anything like me, then you don’t really practice joint mobility and foam rolling all that often. I’m “Type A” kind of person and getting me to sit still long enough to work on my flexibility has been tough. I’ve been doing self body work for years but never religiously. This morning I [...]
