Aye-yo!!!
I will be home (again) over the 4th of July weekend and would love to help the wonderful people of the Ladysmith/Holcombe/Cornell area (and beyond). My thoughts are 3 days of training opportunities. This is what I’d like to do…
I Lost 80 Pounds!!

Putting It All Together: Psychology of Training
Reader beware: If you have, or are a relative to, a special needs/mentally disabled child/family member or in general are offended by the word “retard” please stop reading now. I understand it’s a sensitive word, and I would never wish any of those conditions on anyone’s loved ones. That being said, I’m not going to not use it. When have I EVER been politically correct?? You’ve been warned…
The Anti-Guru
If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you know that I say a lot of “ridiculous” sh*t, especially when it comes to nutrition. Things like, “if my fatloss stalls for a week, I increase my calories, not decrease them.” Or, “I ate a family size package of brats over the weekend and lost a pound.” When it comes to training, people don’t understand why I would EVER do 13 sets of 8 reps on just 1 lift. Why is it that I do the “crazy” sh*t I do?
Correcting Heel Strike and Shin Splints
Is it possible to correct your running form without a coach? Without knowing anything about running mechanics? YES!!! This is not going to be a heel-strike vs. forefoot strike argument because there have been waaaay too numerous successful heel-strike runners out there. However, every sprinter out there and a lot of the recent marathon winners have been forefoot strikers, and I personally happen to think it is superior. Since we’re all about athletic performance around this bizzy, we’re gonna talk aboot forefoot striking. I received this question from a reader and thought I’d share it with the rest of you.
