True story Back in my rowdy, younger days I worked a lot of hard manual labor jobs. I mean I worked really hard jobs! After work, we’d sit on the tail gate of my buddy’s pick-up truck and drink beer. We’d be all sweaty and dirty and worn out; but it didn’t matter; the beer was cold. TheContinue reading “The burning gas pump & priorities”

Filling the gaps in strength training

It was about how the competitors reacted when they missed a heavy lift or fell down while giving their utmost. They immediately got back upContinue reading “Sometimes it just takes guts”
