I’m still processing the forum I mentioned from the last post. Since my small collection of readers have all added brilliant comments, I am forced to have to use my brain a bit further. So I’d like to briefly mention what I talked about. After the usual diatribe about empowerment (ya know: […]
Again, I apologize for not posting workout ideas this week, but it has been one of my weirder weeks. Let’s work backwards in chronology to see what happened.
Last, I’m sitting in a hotel room writing this mere minutes away from the site of the 1960 Winter Olympics, held at a tiny little unknown ski resort […]
Workout possibilities:
Max Cleans. Joining me in my quest for Olympic Gold (or at least a decent placing in the Tommy Kono Open this weekend). Clean. Heavy,
Combo Catch of the Day: Carrie I’d suggest 95lb hand snatch, 125lb clean and 125lb farmer’s walk handles for the boys, 65/75/85 as the upper end for women. […]
Workout:
Max Effort Bench Press with Chains
Combo Catch of the Day: Ray Hearts Steve.

Lifting today shall proceed as follows:
ME Bench Press
Combo Catch o’ the Day: Mr. Crowley. Now there’s been a small amount of confusion about my use of the term ‘push press.’ The modern lifter will often refer to a push press as a leg assisted overhead press, which I will agree with. BUT […]
Today’s workout: sometimes we gotta go though the video vault and dig out the gems:
If ya don’t have the tools for the last combo, improvise!!

SELFISH vs SELF-CENTERED (complete with semi-random photo selections, with the exception of Ayn Rand)
The comments from the last post brought up some good thoughts and got my noggin’ spinning…..
“Selfishness” is often […]
I’m posting an entire workout today, not just parts. It spans the Spectrum (like most of our workouts do), from max force development to keeping up an intense workload for a chunk of time, but it also spans another spectrum, from utilizing the heaviest weights you can handle to a combo with no […]
MFD lift of the day: Jerk press. Max Effort style (hey, powerlifters stole the concept from the world of weightlifting)!
Combo Catch of the Day: Although not listed on our list of GPP combos yet, we’ll cal this one the David Lee Roth. It’s simple: sandbag burpees/cleans/presses. 30 reps for time. Here’s a […]
Here’s some fun:
Lift o’ the Day: Heavy Squat of some variety (85-90% of max) immediately followed by DE Deadlifts (3 reps). 5-6 sets.
Combo Catch of the Day: Brick Don’t Hit Back. Trainer Allyson has been putting smiles on client’s faces with this wonderful combo. Short, sweet and replaces and entire room full of leg […]
What the heck does one do to prepare to celebrate the 4th of July?
Dynamic Effort Deadlifts, of course.
Combo Catch of the Day: Eat Lightning
GATHERING OF THE TRIBES: Summer Strength Camp 2008
Just a reminder, folks…
A great opportunity for strength and performance education will be happening at Bodytribe in July. Saturday and Sunday, July 26th and […]
