Only good can come from getting strong

Now that the summer is coming to an end, I have been speaking to a few different people about their fall/winter training.  I would just like to re-state my trainig philosophy.  As an athlete, firefighter, police officer, or 75 year-old gardener, you need to get strong.

But there are many ways to get strong.  As long as resistance is there, allowing you to reach muscular failure in that 45-70 second range, your muscles don't care which apparatus you use.

But I also believe that a wide array of apparatus, tempos, and angles will reduce bordom, and keep the muscles guessing.

Do I advocate weight training?
Do I advocate bodyweight training?
Do I advocate chains, bands, slider boards, bosus, medicine balls etc.?

YES.  YES.  YES.

Everything has to come together.  For those of you who are new to my blog, I urge you to go back to my beginning posts and read them.  Please also look at all my videos.  I am not screaming at you with tight workout clothes on, and rap music playing.  I will try to educate you, and hopefully you will really see what I am all about.

For those who are following me, I do apologize for the lack of material over the summer.  I will get back on track, just in time for you summer athletes to get going on your fall/winter programs. The videos will also start again.  Thanks for your patience. 

Mike
