In the corner at Bud Jeffries and Logan Christopher's now legendary Super Human Training 2 Workshop in Tallahassee, FL, Ryan Pitts had carefully set out a number of totally-new-to-me but super interesting looking pieces of strength and grip training equipment. Needless to say we all got hooked on using them at that workshop. I ended up picking out several items which I've … [Read more...] about Podcast with Ryan Pitts, World Class Craftsman, Mace Swinger, Grip Strength Expert

I Will Be Iron
I Will Be Iron by Bud Jeffries Both eBook and print formats available I had met Bud Jeffries this past summer after one of the sessions of Andrea Du Cane's Ageless Body Workshop. Being local to the area, he showed up to say hello etc. He's a BIG guy - but that's to be expected since he's very well known in the world of extreme strength, and strongman feats. … [Read more...] about I Will Be Iron
What you were waiting for… The Bowling Ball Incident….
As promised.... Strongman legend, Bud Jeffries dropping a bowling ball on me! Don't try this at home, I do extensive direct (hanging leg raises, flag progressions/regressions) and indirect (kettlebell, etc) abdominal training, so I can really brace very hard. Oddly enough this was actually kind of fun in a weird way. The bowling ball weighs 16lbs... If for some … [Read more...] about What you were waiting for… The Bowling Ball Incident….

Core Torture, the Insidious Kettlebell Swing Practice Workout
After reading a good bit of Bud Jeffries new book, I Will Be Iron (currently out on ebook format, soon to be out in paperback), I was more than just a little bit inspired. One of the things I like about his book is the real world focus on simple but effective workouts with just a few crucial tools. He also pairs drills very well - I'm even futher convinced that I need to … [Read more...] about Core Torture, the Insidious Kettlebell Swing Practice Workout
Assault Fitness Assault Air Bike, Fan Bike
Oh I love to hate this thing. One of my advanced clients saw it and was aghast... "why do YOU have an exercise bike?!" She asked. Visions of 80s leg-warmer wearing people cycling while reading magazines, eating bon-bons, and watching soaps churned in her head. I then explained that we'd really only be spending very short periods of time on this evil evil fan bike, and that it … [Read more...] about Assault Fitness Assault Air Bike, Fan Bike
A Short But Fun Underground Strength Inspired Exercise Break… After an Adventure!
It's been an interesting weekend... getting a lot done, maybe a little too much because as the sun started to go down today I found myself wanting to go outside and play for lack of a better term. Some may refer to this as a "workout" but considering what I did and how fun it was I think it was more like a slightly more grown up version of playing in the yard. Unfortunately, … [Read more...] about A Short But Fun Underground Strength Inspired Exercise Break… After an Adventure!
Monkey Bar Monday – Rope Climbing in Providence, RI and A Scaled At Home Version!
As you may have gathered I shot a fair amount of video while in Providence, Rhode Island recently. The weather was ideal (slightly cool and overcast outside) not only for running around but acting as a natural light diffusor for pretty good video!!! When we arrived at Brown Street Park, I had that whole feeling you get as a kid when you see the playground and you can't seem … [Read more...] about Monkey Bar Monday – Rope Climbing in Providence, RI and A Scaled At Home Version!
A Workout Heavily Inspired by Zach Even-Esh’s The Encyclopedia of Underground Strength and Conditioning
At the last minute, I ended up having a coffee break with a friend today and toted along Zach Even-Esh's brand new Encyclopedia of Underground Strength and Conditioning. She's also an aficionado of incredibly challenging workouts and in addition to being a member of our kettlebell small group, is almost always up for a "Hey, I have this crazy workout to test, want to try it?" … [Read more...] about A Workout Heavily Inspired by Zach Even-Esh’s The Encyclopedia of Underground Strength and Conditioning
