With all the sports performance tests such as the NFL combine along with an array of other specific performance tests for other sports on the training front I decided to dive into a little bit of a different topic today. Oh and in case you don’t know who that is pictured above it is the great Harry Houdini.

Of course, this is assuming that whatever user decided to post this pic didn’t for some strange reason decide to remove it from the internet causing Houdini to disappear from this post. ;-)Anyways, today I want to dive into the topic of specificity as it relates to your training and how at times this concept can cause a bit of an illusion when talking about the art of strength and conditioning.

Cheap Strength; Rich Gains

The belief among much of the current population that a gym stocked full of heavy duty equipment must be necessary in order for one to acquire gainzzz is still very large and very present. This is the case despite the rise and expansion of the Crossfit culture and the rapid growing rate of private gym owners that tend to fall back on the use of more traditional free weighted movements when involved in training.

So today I want to talk about not only why the need for that expensive heavy duty equipment isn’t necessary, but how it’s actually more detrimental than good in most cases.

In order for you to obtain gains in your training you must have a versatile program, but you must also master the fundamentals. Like the Avengers versatility is good, but not to the point that your execution of fundamental movements is compromised. Today’s workout is about versatility, but it doesn’t ignore the importance of hammering on the big essential movements for top level strength and fitness gains.

Santa Roc by rocwieler

Well who said that Santa has to be fat and jolly? I mean to deliver all those presents around the world in record time over the course of one night it’s apparent the guy has to be able to throw some weight around, right? Well the season is here and I figured I would help you out by giving you (the fit folks) 8 solid Christmas gift ideas to help you out with the chaos of Christmas shopping.

Well, today this is why I wanted to offer you a much more peaceful approach for your Christmas shopping experience.
