So tonight’s the big wrap up.
Another year gone by; and a fresh one only hours away.
More than likely, it’s partying that’s on your mind, and not training. And that’s cool. Hopefully you’ll rock the house down tonight.
Something I’ve gotten into the habit this time of year, is reflecting on the past 12 months.
I know everyone [...]

Being that it’s ‘Resolution’ time, I’ve been torching on goat setting and tracking your progress in the gym.
A few days back I explained how many set themselves up for frustration and failure by comparing themselves to others.
Some wanted to know more. Why isn’t it such a great idea to compare yourself to others? Isn’t that [...]

With life flying by at today’s pace, losing sight of your main objective in the gym can happen easily.
‘Progress’ is the name of the game if you want results. And ideally, you want consistent progress. As often as possible.
To do this, you need to keep track of your training, and always aim to better your [...]

It seems that everyone is busy comparing themselves to someone else nowadays.
People compare looks, cars, income, houses, children, pets, and even ride on lawnmowers.
And if there’s one place you’re guaranteed to find this type of comparison and ‘one upmanship,’ it’s in the gym.
Don’t think this is limited to the ‘big boys’ lumbering around the weights.
Many [...]

As I did my Christmas shopping this year, I noticed a lot of stores were giving away small presents to their customers.
I saw everything from coupons, to candy, cards, pens, calendars, and small knick knacks for the home. Some even sent emails with ‘digital gifts.’
All of these were fun ideas. But I wanted to give [...]

I shared a tip on upping your pressing power a little while back, and I got another one for you today; fresh and hot out of the oven….
You might have heard that the order of the exercises in your routine is something to take into consideration.
Depending on what you’re working towards, you want to structure [...]

Ahh foreplay…
Some think of it as the fun before the ’real’ fun.
Others couldn’t be bothered to it.
It’s too bad, because foreplay gets the body ‘ready for action.’
The ‘tear-your-clothes off-and-get-your-20 minute-Speedy-Gonzales-freakfest-on’ is lots of fun. It has it’s time and place, but it’s not an ‘all the time’ kind of thing.
But even if it was, it’s [...]

Lets jump in from where we left off in part 2…
‘OK, that’s the problem. You are capable of lifting much more than a plate in the deadlift.
You weigh a solid 180 pounds, 13 lbs is way too light to trigger your body to grow significantly.’ I explained.
‘OK.’ He said. I could tell he wanted to [...]

Last time I shared why many people don’t get the results they want.
This can get frustrating, especially when some of them seem to be doing everything ‘right.’
One case in particular was my friend Mike. He asked me to join him in the gym, and see if I could help him out.
As he finished up his [...]

I needed to look up some information on ‘Project Management’ the other day.
So I hopped onto the interweb and started surfing.
Before I knew it, I was looking at management quotes. And somehow, I came across a line attributed to Dr. Phil.
‘Life is managed; it is not cured’
My first reaction was, ‘what in the…? What is [...]
