Back in the early 90’s I worked at the WWE as the National Sales Manager for ICOPRO. During this time I had an opportunity to meet and train with some incredible athletes. One of those was The Golden Boy, Tom Platz. This is my memory of a quiet Saturday afternoon when Tom invited me to train hamstrings with him. I’m still sore!

It’s summer. It’s hot. We all train BUT you have to use some common sense when it comes to keeping your body cool. It’s not just water but a few other things that help you avoid heat exhaustion.

Everyone wants to be perfect. Some think they are perfect. Perfection is relative to what and where you are right now and what is realistically attainable.

Do you have the mindset of a champion? Do you do the extra rep? Do you do one more sit-up? How many times do you scoop the frosting off of the cupcake?

If you want to lose weight and get lean, you MUST embrace being hungry. You must embrace starving. Now that does not mean for days or weeks but for 20-30 minutes before each meal. Sound interesting, take a listen.

Ok. Wake up, take seven steps, brush your teeth, make coffee, check email, go to gym. Boring! How about changing things up! Take a listen as changing your workout and nutrition programs can make a world of difference.

I have had so many people tell me they are losing weight by adding lemons to their water. No way. Not true. Listen and I will give you my opinion on lemons and weight loss.

The scale. Are daily weigh ins a good thing or a bad thing. Here are my thoughts and reason why you should weigh yourself everyday, maybe twice per day.

Training heavy, what does it mean. You should approach every workout with the heavy mindset if you want to build muscles that grow and perform.

Goals. Simple word and impossible to obtain. Why? Most people set them too high, compare themselves unrealistically, do not write them down and never reward the small accomplishments.

Building muscle is easy, really easy. It's when you over think, over read and over listen that things get screwed up. Keep it simple. Train heavy and stick to core movements and you will build muscle.
