So in the past few days I’d be lying if I told you I haven’t been thinking more and more about the process of innovation, especially as is pertains to a strength training environment and the availability of equipment. Look this past weekend my friend coach Brad McLeod (pictured above) and myself put on a very informative Kettlebell Power And Speed clinic in which one of the segments was devoted to innovation in terms of teaching one to utilize their surroundings and available resources for some hard hitting strength training tools and strength training tactics. I’ve got to tell you this segment was my favorite and I’ve got to give credit to Coach McLeod for bringing this to the table.

Die Hard Original 1988 First Advance Teaser US One Sheet

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.

Evidently he witnesses a great deal of athletes prior to coming into the gym drinking them like water. To my amazement I was like “What the hell?” Needless to say it supplied me with more content for this blog post so keep on reading if you are interested in learning more about the current energy drink frenzy.

Excited for Spring! [Explored!] by GrizzlysGhost

So today I’m steering the topic in a slightly different direction. Not long ago I got an email from one of my readers asking me about my training program. She was telling me that she was probably a bit older (she felt) than probably the majority of my readers. She openly communicated how she had to overcome an overwhelming amount of health issues including cancer.

Living in a small town she had also gotten nothing but discouragement when even trying to mention making an attempt at strength training and getting herself into shape. I simply told her in true Brandon style that those other people discouraging her could kiss her ass and that it was time for her to go lock, stock, and complete beast mode with upgrading her state of health! It was time for her to use this as fuel to prove a whole lot of people wrong!
