So today’s blogisode is getting back to the roots of strength. You see when examining strength I like to think that there are many traits that make up its characteristics. Yes, I’m getting deep in the philosophical side on you in this post so just buckle your chin strap and don’t get busted thinking too hard on this one especially if you are sitting at your desk at work. We wouldn’t want to get you in trouble while you’re on the job, right? Keep on reading my friend.
I find it interesting that every puffy chest with an i-pod shuffle, or whatever that damn device is called, seems to be the “expert” trainer or strength coach in many athletic and fitness environments. I mean when you get sick you go to the doctor, if you need the brakes fixed on your car you hire a automotive technician, and if you have to defend yourself in court you get a lawyer. Now having said all of this it still amazes me that there are still folks that are either serious about competing or getting in shape and continue to believe that they can master the development and implementation of their own strength and conditioning program.
I mean how is hiring professional help with your strength program any different than any of those other services I just mentioned especially if you have an important need for it? This is even more true when examining the development of speed strength when looking at what you should be working on to compete in a sport.
Yes, that Werewolf looking fellow pictured above (that in my brother’s words looks like some crazy character in a Quentin Tarantino film) is yours truly! For over a decade I’ve been clean shaving and beard free and for the past several weeks I decided “what the hell?” I’ll just go all Wolverine on you (in the words of my good friend Jeff Perry)!
That’s right, I told everyone that if they stepped out of line in their training that I would bite them and then they would end up looking like this whenever a full moon decided to light up the dark night sky! No worries, besides the long hair and beard I’ve got some other strength training tips to throw at you so keep on reading!
Ok Jason Bourne is cool, but James Bond is cooler! Oh boy, I probably just stirred up a hornet’s nest with that one, right? For those of you that know me you know that I am a huge movie fan and Daniel Craig fan as well. To me Craig has portrayed 007 in the purest form. I know I may have some Connery fans screaming at me about that and I think Connery was great too, but in this day and age Craig has hit a home run with the role. James Bond is cold hearted, smart, calculated, and just simply badass which is just the way your fitness program should be!
Yes, I’m still alive and kicking! It’s been a crazy week, but it has all been for good reason. It’s great to be back here after a cloudy having a serious case of the Monday’s… Monday afternoon! Now that I have that out of the way let’s take care of some business, as the Great Elvis Presley used to say.
