Climbing Rope- If you want to train Renegade Style you have to have a climbing rope. I honestly can’t think of too many more effective exercises than rope climbing. Your grip/forearms, lats and [...]

California Love

11. Aug, 2010 17 Comments Uncategorized

What’s up guys? Sorry for the lack of posts the last week or so. Jen and I left Renegade in the trusty hands of my brother and good friend, Mark Crook and rented a place on the beach in Santa Monica, CA for five weeks. To say we’ve been super busy since we got here would be a bit of an understatement. The first day we went to Six Man in Manhattan Beach which is basically the biggest beach party in all of Los Angeles County and was a [...]

Never Thought I’d See The Day

30. Jul, 2010 109 Comments Uncategorized

What a difference five years makes. I go out to bars about three times per year instead of three times per week. I hate staying up late and drinking these days, preferring instead to stay home, read a book and be in bed by 10:30. I’ll hardly touch a piece of food that isn’t organic or 100% natural. I’ve gotten rid of my microwave and toxic pots, pans and food storage containers. I only drink the purest water I can out of Sigg bottles, and even have a filter on [...]

RIP Charlie Francis

18. May, 2010 7 Comments Uncategorized

I’ve been out of the loop the last few days due to some work issues and didn’t hear the very sad news until just now that the great Olympic speed coach, Charlie Francis had lost his battle with cancer and died at the age of 61 last week.

Unfortunately, many uneducated people and those in the mainstream will always associate Charlie with Ben Johnson getting popped for steroids at the ’88 Olympics in Seoul. Those in the know understand that every athlete in that race was on performance enhancing drugs and [...]

20 Holiday Gifts That Don’t Suck

14. Dec, 2009 24 Comments Uncategorized

Jungle Gym XT- There are countless exercises that can be done on the Jungle Gym XT; many more effective than using a machine or even free weights, such as pushups, flys, dips, assisted handstand pushups, leg curls, hip thrusts, ab fall outs and many more. At Renegade Training Center we use big, basic barbell lifts as our main maximal strength exercises and then supplement with bodyweight, kettlebell, dumbell and strongman type lifts for accessory work. The Jungle Gym XT gets used at every workout, without fail. It’s also great to [...]

Goodbye, My Friend

29. Aug, 2009 63 Comments Uncategorized

“We got the results back from the doctor today. It’s pancreatic cancer. There’s no cure… It’s terminal.”

My heart stopped and tears welled up in my eyes.

Even though he and my mom never decided to make it official and tie the knot, he was, for all intents and purposes, my step dad. That’s what we referred to him as, and Edward Liebman was the greatest father figure I had ever known.

“Whattaya mean? Are they sure?!” I asked as cold sweat started to roll down my back.

“Yes.”

I couldn’t speak and began to [...]

Today I need to ask a favor of all my readers. In an effort to serve you guys better I would like to get your feedback on what you want more of. I have a to-do-list a mile long, but before I start knocking items off the list I need to be sure I am giving you exactly what you want. Besides, of course, an hour alone with the Argentinean girls soccer team…

I have gotten a lot of requests for training DVD’s, advanced mass building guides for those who have [...]

Obliterate Stress

30. Mar, 2009 3 Comments Uncategorized

As you have heard me say many times by now, stress is probably the number one thing that gets in the way of you achieving your performance and physique goals. When you get stressed out your cortisol levels rise and your testosterone levels plummet. Cortisol is the stress hormone that eats muscle and adds slabs of bodyfat.

I have seen this happen first hand with clients many times. When they are going through a stressful time such as studying for exams or trying to make a [...]
