YOU HAVE TO WORK TO KNOW WHAT WORKS Most lifters float aimlessly in and out of gyms without a plan, goal, or strategy. Most haven’t experimented nearly enough with their training in order to have the slightest clue as to what works best for them. They stick to the same routine year round...

Enough about the "Big 3" already.

Alright peeps, everyone has hopefully set "Goals" when the New Year came around instead of resolutions.... Well, I set mine. I'll be 50 cone Jan 1, and I thought it would be awesome to pull 500 for my 50th! Problem is, I need a valid protocol that I can follow. I've pulled 465, but my realistic...

Thought it would be fun to put my journal on here. Perhaps, it'll help some and as always I'm always hoping to learn more too. A bit about me. I've sustained a few bad shoulder injuries over the years as an Oly lifter so benching just doesn't work well for me. It came undone last Dec and I...
