Manual Labor Workout – Strength and Conditioning in One

This was a father and son type challenge. It was testing our strength and conditioning, neither one of has ever done the workout before. We used a 50 to 70 yard hill, an 80 lb heavy bag and 55 lb DB's for farmer walks. Actually the last time I used a dumbell was to move them out of my way, so I guess close to 20 years no dumbell use. I thought carrying the 55lb DB's up the hill were … [Read more...]

My opinion on the Paleo Diet and Training Program

I don't think much about the Paleo diet because it really no longer exists. Paleo is mostly to eat clean food. And to eliminate things like legumes, grains etc. The Paleo diet will work I personally have a tough time eating lots of meat.

Brutal 420 Heavy Bag “Shouldering Slams” in 1 hour

Using a 70 LB heavybag to do what I call "Shouldering Slams" are a working mans strength builder.

Don’t Be Gym and Mirror Strong!

The bullshit going around in today's sick and weak society is that being ripped and lean is the way to total fitness, guess what?  Not all ripped sculpted physiques are of fit men, ever see a crack head?

The problem is most … [Read more...]

The Jump Rope is a Serious Athletic Building Training Tool

One thing I am glad I decided to learn when I switched from heavy weight training and putting on tons of weight was to learn how to jump rope. Jumping rope was done by a lot of athletes from boxers to wrestlers to football players and when I switched to bodyweight training and wanted to lose 80 lbs I changed the way I trained and the way I ate. One thing I started to do was practice jumping … [Read more...]
