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 [...]

How To Become Instantly Stronger, Part 1

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.
He was lean and powerful.
Graceful almost.
Watch this video and watch his body positions. Absolutely amazing!
He Clean and Jerked 583lbs at a bodyweight of [...]

My apologies for not getting to your questions last week. I literally just ran out of time prepping for the RKC2 weekend.
Speaking of which, I just got back from an outstanding weekend of teaching at the RKC2. What a blast!
My responsibilities were to review RKC Level 1 exercises and to teach the [...]

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 [...]

by GEOFFN June 23, 2010 Philosophy

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.
So, Part 2…
We flew to Paris on Monday, the 31st. We took a late flight cause I thought we’d be cooked from the RKC. I was pretty close to right.

by GEOFFN April 22, 2010 Strength

I’ve written A LOT of programs for myself, for my athletes, and for my clients over the last 20 years. I’m not sure how much “a lot” is, but I’ve literally got files and files of them.
For example, I just released a Kettlebell Fat Burning Program, Kettlebell Burn, and one of the biggest questions I [...]

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 [...]
