Strength Is…
About doing what is hard without making excuses.
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! Geez, I must be grumpy today. I’m just saying that I prefer these strength training tactics to the most epic fail in leg training history being that of the ‘ole leg press. So why am I so set against this machine when talking about trying to metamorphosize from Joe Regular into the THIGH HULK. Well that’s why I decided to tackle this in the following post. If you want to be the THIGH HULK then here’s why you should scrap the leg press.
So the one thing I see today more than FREAKING ever is the prevalence of distractions! Yes, distractions are everywhere and people fall victim to them all the time. I mean for crying out loud we can’t even entrust a harmless cell phone in the hands of teenagers anymore. I mean leave it to today’s society in lacking common sense for people to in some way transform a cell phone into a killing device. Now all the sudden there are laws made to enforce penalties from the act of texting and driving. Distractions are restrictions people!
Lately I have been getting a lot of questions from women on what they can do to accomplish this or that with their body. Ladies I decided to satisfy your curiosity by creating an imaginary profile called student X. Student X is a specific profile that I came up with based on the most common questions and needs that I have encountered over the years when doing an assessment on a female trainee. If you like results then this is strength training for women at it’s best! Keep reading.
In a world where the explosion of technology has fostered the growth of a population plagued by obesity, poor posture, weakness, disease, functional imbalances, and overall mental decay I often feel like a lone cop stuck in a skyscraper on Christmas Eve with a bunch of terrorist. Ok maybe I’m going a bit overboard here, but I like to think that at least on some small level I can relate to Bruce Willis’s character John McClane in the movie Die Hard.
By the way this is a true iconic action flick if you haven’t seen it. I strongly suggest you do make time for this one if you are a fan of action heroes that like to dish out some serious ass kickings on their villain counterparts with some unforgettable style. Anyways, keep on reading if you want to see where I’m going with this.
