I have talked alot about giving you and your athletes tools to get better rather than just serving them up some fitness for the day. I want to talk today about a conversation i had this weekend with Matt Murski. A long time friend of mine and mentor. He never ceases to [...]

I posted a video a couple months ago showing one of my warm ups for any general movement you may be doing. In my opinion this can be used to get ready to run a marathon or snatch 100kg. Obviously for each task you will need a more specific warm up with some [...]

As i mentioned last week in my post about Whole 9 Life i have been working directly with Dallas and Melissa for the last couple months. Obviously I have a pretty high opinion of them and it is well deserved if you have ever spent time with them in any capacity.

In case you haven’t heard of Dallas and Melissa, go check them out at Whole 9 Life.

As a weightlifter my goal is to lift [...]

We had PRs on everyday of the final week of the program with some guys hitting PRs a couple times in a single day.
In my post program assessment we asked what people [...]

There is something that has bothered me for the last couple months that i want to talk about today. Forgive me for ranting a bit but ya’ll understand how things can get under your skin.
I want to start this piece with a reflection back on when i first became an official personal trainer. [...]

I have been an epic fail (Apologies if you waste your whole day on this site) lately and i blame vacation for that. i am back now and will hopefully have some fresh new content for you. As always if there is anything you really want to hear about please just post it [...]
