Happy New Year!

Since this is the first day of the new year I figured I would share one more article from 2018 today when I went into the archives. The original publishing date of today’s article was back on July 3, 2018.

Whether you like it or not today is the day that many people start setting New Year’s Resolutions. Whether you do that or not I figured that today’s article may help to guide you. I figured this would be the case even if you decided it’s time for you to “tweak” your training looking at the new year. Read and apply!

Are you continuing to win your war on strength beyond your 30’s?
Do you currently try to lift and train the same now as you did in your 20’s?
Are you battling with ailments and injury more often?
Are you still trying to blast out record PR’s every 6 to 8 weeks in your 30’s?

If you’re looking to keep crushing your strength gains for the long haul then you’ve got to change up your strength and conditioning approach as you ease into your 30’s, 40’s, and beyond. Sure you can still blast some new PR’s and blow up the heavy weight, but I would strongly recommend going about doing it intelligently and with an eye for experience.

Are you interested in being able to lift heavy weight intelligently?
Do you have an interest in pursuing heavy lifting without getting injured?
Are you looking to get stronger while moving better?
Are you interested in lifting with a safe and effective approach?

To lift heavy you’ve got to understand how to progress your physical strength to get there in the first place. Everything that involves true progression must take place incrementally over time.

When training with heavy weight your approach should always involve a smart plan of progressive overload. The end result should be a healthy dose of strength without the injury!

How Many Times A Week Should You Train Deadlifts And Squats?

Are you looking to significantly improve your deadlifts and squats?
How frequently are you practicing your deadlifts and squats?
Are you wondering if it’s possible to practice deadlifts and squats multiple days a week?
How many days a week can you practice your deadlifts and squats without overtraining?

The short answer here is that it’s possible for you to perform deadlifts and squats up to 4 to 6 days a week. As a concrete real world example the world’s strongest man and legendary strongman performer Paul Anderson has been documented squatting up to 5 days a week.

Granted he was the world’s strongest man and had progressed his training to that point while certainly figuring out what worked with his life schedule and his body in order to take on this type of volume.

Now even though Paul Anderson was the world’s strongest man and could squat up to 5 days a week this doesn’t mean that you wouldn’t be capable of such frequency yourself. It really just depends on your own personal goals and how much time and energy you’re willing and capable of devoting to the cause.

So Merry Christmas!

While I hope you’re enjoying time with family and friends I know you’ve probably experienced a bit of frustration while navigating the mad rush of shopping crowds. That tends to happen when you’re out at the mall hunting down those gifts.

To give you a little insight on why you might have experienced such frustration I figured I would pull today’s article from the archives on physical intelligence. I figure I might explain why you might have experienced some frustration when dealing with the crowds.

The original publishing date of today’s article was back on April 14, 2016. Read. learn, apply, and enjoy your day!

I’m often finding myself getting pissed off in public more and more these days for a number of reasons that revolve around the growing epidemic of laziness and the decrease of intelligence in our society. With the advent of technology people are becoming less and less intelligent both mentally and physically. Today I’m going to be addressing how this is happening and why most people are unaware of their sixth sense as a result of this societal epidemic.

Are your shoulders strong and functional?
What shoulder exercises are you implementing to build strong injury resistant shoulders?
Are you looking to transform your fitness and strength?

Well when it comes to training shoulders most articles I typically see for this seem to recommend training tactics that emphasize more aesthetics in terms of the approach to training the shoulders.

Aesthetics are great, but shoulder function is better. Besides the aesthetics will come if your shoulder joint can exhibit mobility and stability the way it should be able to in the first place. Form always follows function…not the other way around!
