Please, PLEASE stop rounding your back while doing deadlifts, dumbbell rows, or even picking up weights off the ground. I saw a little old lady doing this in the gym today. It was nice she was trying to deadlift, but not nice watching her fold herself in half with each rep. On a lighter note… [...]
All the details on how you can win a TRX (and get two sample TRX workouts is at the end of today’s post).But first, a funny Bally story…On Friday morning we packed up ol’ Bally the Dog for another drive, and this time we went over to the home of the architect who is working [...]

Fighting for honor and respect – announcing the two winners of the Turbulence Training TRX giveaway and an important question for you – http://workoutmanuals.com/fighting-for-respect-and-honor/Today’s workout for me was just okay…it’s an easy week, and so I skipped deadlifts because my hamstrings are still a little sore from last Saturday. Went to Gold’s Gym in Austin [...]
I’m back in Toronto for a few days before heading down to Cancun to hang out with Joel Marion and John Romaniello, and then back up to Vegas to hang out with Roman and Bedros.I’m a little disappointed I will miss Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend…plus the weather is really nice. Might be my 2nd favorite [...]

Tabata training requires "exhaustive intermittent training consisted of seven to eight sets of 20-s exercise at an intensity of about 170% of VO2max with a 10-s rest between each bout." That’s a quote from the [...]
No training for me today. I will, however, ride my bike across town for a chiropractor appointment and a haircut. Tomorrow I’m going to do a deadlift workout before my flight to Cancun. Heading down to a small fitness conference for a few days before stopping in Las Vegas on the way home for bigger [...]
That’s my plan. But weather reports suggest it is raining in Cancun. We’ll see in a few hours.Today’s workout: Deadlifts, rack pulls, stability ball planks. That’s it. Now to the airport to flap my wings down to Mexico. Then EPIC battles with Roman Fitness Systems. Today would be a great day for a long kettlebell [...]

Yesterday I put Bodyweight Coach Adam Steer through a tough 24-7 Fat Loss metabolic workout session and then watched the J-E-T-S game with John Romaniello (he is a die-hard fan and I’m trying to convince him not to get so wrapped up in games he can’t control). I was once like that with Cowboys, but [...]
