As some of you might have noticed, the weights that I use are not that heavy. Well, they’re heavy to me:). I read about other people on the internet and wonder how they deadlift 200#. To me that goal might as well be the moon.

Is the Clean and Press the mother of all exercises?
Well, I don’t know if it’s the mother of all exercises, but it’s definitely up there. The old time strong men definitely believed in the Clean and Press (C&P). They felt one of the best ways to get strong was to lift things off the ground and press them overhead.

At Sea Navy Workout
Back when I was in the Navy I had the good fortune of being on an aircraft carrier. The carrier had a small gym on the hangar bay. For those of you that don’t know what a hangar bay is, it’s the level right below the flight deck where they keep the planes.

How to create your own workout schedule
When creating your workout schedule, I would recommend a minimum of 2 days strength, 2 days functional endurance, 1 running day & rest when needed. You can always add more work or rest days if you need to. Each day also doesn’t have to be dedicated to one purpose.

Which is better, Pull ups on a bar or a ledge?
The other day I did my Australian pull-ups on a ledge and also did some pull-ups and a half pull-up static hold. I did more sets and reps than I normally do.

How to do squat thrusts
Squat thrusts are a great conditioning/endurance workout that will really get your heart pumping. If you’ve never done squat thrusts before, don’t be surprised if you get winded after only doing a few of them.
Why I like shovelglove
I have a tendency to get bored really quick, so I like to mix up my workouts all the time. But if you take a closer look they may be different, but most exercises do repeat themselves. I had been doing some reading and came across people who train with sledgehammers. A lot of them swear by taking a sledgehammer and hitting a large truck tire.
