Couldn't be prouder of my 11-year-old son Luke knocking out 20-pound weighted pull-ups. He’s been in the gym with me since he was 1, and by 2, he’d already seen more 600lb raw benches than most elite lifters see in a lifetime. Built different from the start! 🔨💪
As Hall of Fame Linebacker Mike Singletary said, “Hill sprints bring out something that you can’t really get in the weight room, something that you can’t really get on a track.”
As great of a sentiment as that is, I can’t help but wonder why we don’t hear more about hill

Dead Bench Press!!!


The bench press has an ascending strength curve, meaning it’s hardest at the bottom of the movement and easier as you push the weight up toward lockout. In a powerlifting meet, this is amplified because lifters are required to momentarily pause the

Train with maximum force. Bench-press weights with maximum force. Force = mass times acceleration. Lifting submaximal weights with maximum force is called compensatory acceleration training (CAT). Greater amounts of force exerted into the bar will create higher

Impressive, this is my son 10 year old, Luke! 🙌 Starting young and building those "hamcables" is setting a strong foundation. Keep those morning workouts rolling, the mental strength you're building is just as important as the physical gains.

300 deadlift at 65 years old! Yvette also has run a 14.9 100 m dash as well as competing in the tactical games, strong man, implements, climbing, pistol shooting, AR platforms, etc. definitely one of the toughest people I work with!
The starting position of a deadlift is like the take-off position of a vertical jump. Your body is smart. When you want to perform a max-effort vertical jump, your body will intuitively assume the most powerful position—exactly the position you need for a powerful deadlift.
If the weight is heavy, have the intention to move it fast. Even if it moves slow, you’ll still get the explosive strength benefits.
If the weight is light, I want you to move it faster than the Mexican Two Step to maximize your strength adaptations.
Intention is everything.
