Lost Secrets of Supreme Survival Strength! I love when people like to tell me about the book where Paul Wade states that it is For Entertainment Purposes Only! Then states names and histories have been changed! Why did they have to be changed? and said the exercises are valid, and I agree they are valid, but most are useless in a prison environment. Never seen such bullshit! I … [Read more...]

The Jump Rope is a Serious Athletic Building Training Tool

The other video shows rolling two cylinders weighing … [Read more...]

The fact is the majority don't have the guts or the will to push themselves through pain associated with high reps. They say it doesn't build strength, how would they know? They don't do near enough to find out and you know why? They are as mentally weak as they are … [Read more...]
