Basics versus dogma & silver bullets
Between having trained people in martial arts, military, and the fitness world I have accumulated several decades of experience in coaching. That in itself is not the main point, others have also done that. Some of the things I have learned from working in these disciplines are common to all of them. In all ofContinue reading “Basics versus dogma & silver bullets”
Your survival and safety are up to you
When a crisis hits, it’s your responsibility to protect your family and yourself. It doesn’t matter if it is a tornado, a shooter, or a terrorist, the guys in Washington D.C. can’t help you. They can pass all the laws they wan t, they can make treaties but those things cannot protect you from imminentContinue reading “Your survival and safety are up to you”
“Non-gym” workouts
Why do I train outdoors when I own my own gym? I love training outdoors! Besides somethings you can only do outdoors, like throwing kettlebells, etc.
A job well done

I love to read about people who have refused to fall apart as they chronologically age. There is so much “evidence” that says you cannot be strong and fit your whole life. I say flush all that garbage! Must be that this ancient warrior never read the studies that said he couldn’t do what heContinue reading “At 80 years old he said, “Give me this mountain!””
Missed lifts & mental victories
I have said many times that if you never miss a lift you are not lifting heavy enough. That kind of parallels something I used to say back in my martial arts days, if you say you’ve never lost a fight, you have never fought anyone who was really good. It’s the same outlook appliedContinue reading “Missed lifts & mental victories”
A big man’s journey from 400 lbs to 270lbs
My buddy, Al Ernst, used to weigh almost 400lbs. As a professional comedian for a major cruise ship line, he has traveled continuously worldwide for about twenty or more years. Needless to say, spending that much time on cruise ships is not the healthiest way to live. Here’s a video of Al doing a skitContinue reading “A big man’s journey from 400 lbs to 270lbs”
