Yesterday I ran a LSD run of 15 miles, it was pretty painful.  I knew going out the winds was pushing 25 mph from the south.  I took off running north for just over an hour.  I passed over this dam at Milford Lake and had to take a picture.  The dam is just over a mile long!  As I ran this narrow long stretch of road I realized that yes I could get hit by a truck much easier but more importantly

On November 20th I ran my first full marathon.  Little late news and most of you probably know already.  Regardless, I had a great time....so to speak.  I will say in my so called train up for this I only had a few "long" runs on the weekends up to 16 miles.  I thought that this would get me through the race at least and it did.  But, what I didn't know is the unknown...what will happen to my

 Today I went for a Long Slow Distance run and completed 10.56 miles in 1:30 min.  I didn't get the chance to do the marathon I wanted to do last month due to some work issues having to work on Saturday for EIB training for my guys.  But I'm going to do one the 20th of this month finally.  I am pretty excited about this I ran my first Half Marathon in August completing the North Face Endurance

I had the privilege to be able to review a TON of nutritional supplements from a company by the name of Protica.  I first heard of this company when Bill Kazmaier said he was working with them to produce the smallest size supplement for meal replacement shakes and protein.  This was in an effort to help out people with health issues concerning digestive tract problems, overweight, needing to

Well this past weekend I ran my first half marathon in Kansas City. If you missed it I ran the North Face Endurance Challenge race. It was a great event, a lot of people showed up all weekend to include Dean Karnazes, he hosted the event and had a fun run on Sunday for the kids. It was only 1K in length but cool...why because my daughter ran in it! It was her first race also. She was so

I have been training to participate in an adventure race and will also do a marathon this year.  I have talked with a few people about these events and just talked with a Soldier yesterday who is an ultra marathon runner.  He told me a story of how he got started and its amazing and inspiring.  He was in a fire fight in Iraq when his vehicle hit a large hole and bounced him up in the air causing

Well before I rant on something I previously posted I was going to train in the snow and the altitude.  Well when I got to Colorado there was no snow and there wasn't any where I was at while I was there beside pikes peak.  I did train in the altitude some and it was brutal!  Then I came home finally and took 3 weeks off to spend time with my family and drove through 8 states for our Christmas

Well folks I've been doing a ton of traveling as of late and I'm heading back to Colorado again.  This time I hear there is some snow on the ground.  I plan on doing some serious conditioning work in the mountains at an altitude of 8,500ft! Hopefully in the snow providing it doesn't melt.  Doing work in the snow is much like doing it in sand or in a pit of small rocks, its MUCH tougher.

I live in a place where the elevation is only 150ft Above sea level.  I have trained in the low mountains of Iraq, with minimal effect on me as far as oxygen intake to my body.  I have trained in Afghanistan at an altitude of 6,000ft.  Where I noticed a real difference in my lungs when I would get on the elliptical and do some cardio my lungs and nose were on fire from the thin air.  Then I

When you choose to start lifting weights or you receive a new guy to your team, you must ensure they can handle there own body weight first before they move on to a strength training program. Let them build a foundation with body weight exercises before jumping in to lifting weights. If you skip this step of forming a base or foundation you could cause serious injury to your athlete.

Here is another clip from my trip to Sorinex a few weeks ago. The blob being lifted is the Original blob Richard Sorin made many years ago. I seen both half's of the blob and many many more there. He probably has the most blob's laying around in the world. A great feat of grip strength.

This is a great way to stress your grip on the pullups when you may not "think" you have the time to train your grip directly. If you have the equipment you could also attach softballs/baseballs to chains and use the balls to grab and do pullups that way.

Derek Poundstone is the only man to ever lift the last natural stone weighing 530lbs which he did last year getting his name carved forever into the Louis Cyr stone. He was unable to load the last stone this year but was the closest out of the competitors to do so. Derek placed second this year at Fortissimus.

The Olympic lifts can be great for a football player or the Tactical Athlete. Proper utilization of the Olympic lifts will allow you to enhance the quality of your performance on the field or in combat. When planning a training program for your explosive athlete you must consider the following: *Train the nervous system *Link all training to performance potential*Stress the action/reaction

"Never Let Go": I typically read 2 or 3 books at a time because there is normally not one book that I can just pick up and keep reading. For the first time in a long time I could not put this book down. Dan John masterfully elaborates on the many years of experiance he has acquired in training and puts it into this 400+ page book.

You can use a tire for more then just flipping. Here you see how you can brace your self in it to pull a car doing Arm over Arm. Now you can use anything it doesn't have to be a car it could be a sled, a duffle bag, a sandbag laying on a piece of card board, a big rock really anything that weighs anything you can use just use your imagination. This exercise isn't just for Strongmen combine it

I was out doing some pinch work today and wanted a pony clamp to work on my thumb strength, but I didn't have one around.
