What it takes
Anyone can do easy stuff, but not everyone is willing to dig deep and give a true 100%
A good kind of crazy
There a lot of crazy people in this world, and not all crazy is bad. I want to talk about the people I love being around, the ones that are a “good kind of crazy”. They are crazy enough go against the lazy, wimpy culture that surrounds us. They get up early or stayContinue reading “A good kind of crazy”
Do you have an immunity to learning?
Once you stop learning, you are done. When you think you have arrived, you are fooling yourself. Any time you think you can’t be knocked out of first place, you are doomed. You get the point, I hope. One thing I find to be very prevalent in the fitness world is a refusal to ventureContinue reading “Do you have an immunity to learning?”

Sleds, Adex clubs, & deadlifts
Looking back over the last months I was blessed to hit a new PR on my deadlift which was 10 1/2lb over my previous one. I had been plateaued for quite a while; then  I went to Ed Coan’s Powerlifting Seminar and with his coaching on the mental aspect of lifting, I broke through.

When you think you can’t do any more, you still can!
Mental toughness is an elusive quality, in fact, it is so elusive in our culture it is almost extinct. Giving up when something gets difficult is the norm, unfortunately. Worse yet, not even starting a task if success is not assured and it will be easy (and of course they get a participation award) There isContinue reading “When you think you can’t do any more, you still can!”
