How To Become Instantly Stronger, Part 3

by GEOFFN July 26, 2010 Philosophy

I have something to confess.
I am easily distracted.
I don’t think I have ADD or anything like that, I think I’m just naturally curious. I’m interested in the world around me. It’s a big, beautiful, wonderful world – famines, disasters, and wars excepted.
And that can be a major problem when attempting to get work done.

Time, Value, Money, and Other Answers To Your Questions…

by GEOFFN July 23, 2010 Strength

When I was fresh out of college, I used to drive an hour away every Saturday and spend it with my weightlifting coach, who mentored me. He is a kind, generous, and humble man, filled with knowledge I’m sure that most of today’s experts have never even heard of. (As an aside, I am trying [...]

by GEOFFN July 19, 2010 Strength

Imagine having the power to do or accomplish anything you wanted. The world would be your oyster so to speak. That 700lbs deadlift PR would fall. That SSST with the 24kg would be an easy 250 reps. Wouldn’t it be cool if there was an exact formula to help you do just that?
Before I tell [...]

by GEOFFN July 14, 2010 Movement

It’s no secret – I LOVE the sport of Weightlifting.
Arguably my all-time favorite lifter is Anatoli Pisarenko. He was the Soviet Super Heavyweight who ruled the world between 1982-1984.
He redefined the Super Heavyweight.

Little things…

by GEOFFN June 29, 2010 Philosophy

“Don’t sweat the small stuff” it’s been said.
But what if the “devil’s in the details?”
Little things make a BIG difference.
Here’s one for example – weight distribution in the feet when pulling or squatting.
Here’s another – head and eye position when pressing overhead.
And another – the idea of “neutral spine” – does it have more than [...]

Wow – can’t believe I’ve been back home almost 2 weeks already!
One thing’s for sure – it was a great trip to Europe.

The “Law” of Training Results, Part 3

by GEOFFN March 3, 2010 Philosophy

Everyone wants it now.
Scratch that – we all want it yesterday.
But that’s just not how things work.
That’s just not the way nature is set up.
When a farmer plants his seeds to grow a new crop, he doesn’t cover them over and expect that overnight, or instantly, that new crop will appear. That’s just foolishness!
But that’s [...]
