Did you know it's really hard to gain 20lbs of pure muscle in a year without pharmaceutical help? Let alone in a few months but Hollywood types do it all the time..... "Over a few months in 2010, Momoa, a 6-foot-4-inch Hawaiian actor and model, added about 30 pounds of muscle to his 205-pound frame"- Rebecca Keegan, Muscle Summer- the men of 'Captain America', 'Thor' and 'Conan' clean as a whistle.... or so we thought, or actually, YOU thought, cause they said crap like, "I workout 5-6 hrs a day and eat 8-10 meals a day and use copious amounts of anabolics" and you believe whatever you're told because they would obviously openly incriminate not only … [Read more...]
Golf Training or Ringling Bros. ?
August 26, 2011 by
What the hell is this about? Someone please explain to me what standing on a stability ball with a golf club is supposed to do. Go ahead, I'll wait. Let's use some logic and THINK about this..... Q: Is it sport specific? A: No, it's not. When you play golf...THE GROUND DOESN'T MOVE!...so why would be practice on a ball which does? Q: Does this mimic the golf swing in appearance? A: No, Look at his feet. The ankle joint has changed which means the activation patterns across it as well as the knee and hip and through the spine (core) and shoulder girdle..i.e. The ENTIRE KINETIC CHAIN has changed. Therefore, the swing MUST be different in some … [Read more...]
Zombies and Diets: Both eat your Brain
August 4, 2011 by
Seriously they do.... Zombies: Zombie Nutritionist Recommends All- Brain Diet "Our research indicates that live human brains are not merely the cornerstone of a healthy diet; they are, in fact, the only food an active adult zombie should consume at all," -Rossum Diets: Why Diets Don't Work: Starved Brain Cells Eat Themselves, Study Finds. "When we don't eat, hunger-inducing neurons in the brain start eating bits of themselves. The act of self-cannibalism turns up a hunger signal to prompt eating. "- Science Daily Empirically proven: Diets are as dangerous as Zombies.....take that Atkins! … [Read more...]

Holy Sh*t…Sport Science article on…Yahoo?
July 28, 2011 by
No really it's true... I thought is was BS at first but it's not. Yahoo sports ran a Grrrrrrrrrrrreat article about Usain Bolt and more so sprinting and running speed. Usain Bolt: A Case Study in Science of Sprinting- Jay Hart Hint: He's not fast because of "advanced training techniques" taught at the local "speed camp". Nor is it Under Armour 360 Combine training, HIT training, Crossfit or even 5/3/1.... Nope, not because of cones or parachutes, kettlebells, Bosu balls, bands or even chains......not even chains? Nope. It has more to do with Sir Issac Newton. Sprinting Speed= How much force exerted against ground and how long that … [Read more...]
Whats Old is New….Not really, you’re just late to the party…..
June 17, 2011 by
Awesome video I got from the equally awesome Strength Performance Network. http://youtu.be/kcTBm6_K5ws That's sooooooo weird no Bosu balls, Bender balls, agility ladders or other bullshit sales pitch piece of crap, not even ZUMBA. Just REALLY strong dudes who, by the way, had excellent flexibility (without Yoga) getting strong by........... ........... lifting weights............ heavy ones............ on a barbell............ That's weird cause I thought you had to have at least 3 swiss balls for every barbell in your gym...and barbells are all old fashioned and non-functional... "But wait!"... Proclaims "Functional Training Guy"- THANK GOD, It's the … [Read more...]
Blog Neglect and bad ass Girl Squats.
March 21, 2011 by
Thats what I've practiced for 2 months now... Every time I get going again I get really busy and Mr. Mc Blog goes to the back burner. So to stave that off I'll go with some "quick hitters" in between my always thoughtful, insightlful and all around awesome blog genius. Best blog post I've read in awhile- "Trainers Wanted" from Sean Hyson. This is epic, finally someone from the "inside" tells the truth about the main stream media and fitness training. i.e. It's a giant joke/ lie and the joke is on YOU! It's worth your 2 minutes, whether you work in the field or not....probably more so if not.. Best line: "Most of these “trainers to the stars” and other TV … [Read more...]
