So Halloween is around the corner which is why I felt that today’s post would be very appropriate for the occasion. So I know what you’re thinking, what do you mean by imagery? I mean if I were talking about something good, bad, and scary then the picture of Chucky alone should qualify for all three, right? Well, almost. You’ll just have to keep reading to find out!
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!
No doubt there is a lot that goes into developing any killer strength training and conditioning program. The goal of every strength coach should be that the athlete/participant engaging in the program can acquire the needs they are striving for in order to be successful in achieving their goals. Now I’ll be the first one to admit that there is definitely a science to coming up with a game plan for each kind of athlete and individual for that matter, but it’s not an exact science. One thing that irritates me as a coach is that sometimes coaches/trainers and participants try to overcomplicate things which usually ends up inhibiting trainees more than helping them. That’s why it’s important to just keep things simple.
I just wanted to take some time to share some strength training news with you about some projects that I have coming up and with what some of my students have accomplished as of late. If you are interested in some news with a more positive spin then take a second to click on to continue reading!
It is no secret that I am a huge proponent of bodyweight exercises. I am still amazed at the abundance of gym D-Bags that sneer at the mere hint that bodyweight exercises can build strength. Well it’s always interesting that this still occurs, yet when I extend the invitation of joining me in a legitimate strength training session these clowns suddenly almost always have somewhere else to be! Don’t be one of these guys (or girls) and DON’T get your training stuck in the monotonous time loop of boredom! Read on to avoid this situation my young Jedi…
