So I have to say that this past weekend turned out to be quite an experience for one of my strength and conditioning students. You see I’ve trained a number of different athletes in my day and I’ve been fortunate enough to turn out some guys that have ended up dominating in the male athletic arena. However this past weekend was a first for me because the athlete that was able to hopefully benefit at least a little from the strength and conditioning hell that I so often implement was my first competing female fighter!

So I know if you’ve been following ‘ole BR here on the blog for a while then you know my love for strength and lifting heavy stuff.

Over the years I have always been more interested in building the legs by either squatting or deadlifting in my strength training program. Now some of you would argue that deadlifting is more for building “the back,” and I would agree with you, but right here you’re wrong and I’m right because I’m the one writing the post!
