Longtime readers know how much I have always loved and promoted bodyweight exercises. Renegade Strength Club members know how much I love gymnastic holds such as the front lever. I believe this should be part of everyone’s training arsenal and is an incredible lat exercise that is nearly unmatched. The first, most basic progression of the front lever simply involves holding yourself parallel to the ground in a fetal position with your back rounded and your knees on your chest. Do that 3-6 times per week for 3 sets of 10-15 seconds until it becomes easy. Then move on… continue reading.

“Before I studied the art, a punch was just like a punch, a kick just like a kick. After I studied the art, a punch is no longer a punch, a kick is no longer a kick. Now that I understand the art, a punch is just like a punch, a kick is just like a kick.” — Bruce Lee The difference between a good, highly experienced strength coach and a C-level, inexperienced one is that they can make complex subjects seem simple. They know enough not to overwhelm beginners with too much information and not to shout out… continue reading.

I started training people when I was nineteen years old and still in school. After working in the college weight room I got out on my own. At first I was working with adults in a one on one setting for twenty bucks an hour. Eventually I worked that up to fifty and had a pretty good base of clients. They were all the average fat loss personal training client, however, and that was really the last thing I wanted to spend the rest of my career doing. I wanted to work with athletes and I wanted to train guys… continue reading.

Yesterday morning I woke up with the intention of going to Six Man in Manhattan Beach. It’s an annual volleyball tournament that attracts around nineteen hundred billion people and is known as the beach party of the summer. However, I had stayed out late the night before with some friends and really wasn’t feeling it. I didn’t have a sip of alcohol but I felt like I drank a dozen vodkas. That’s the funny thing about staying up late. I end up feeling exactly the same whether I drink or not, even if I get the same amount of sleep… continue reading.

Die Hard Pearl Jam Fans- As I’ve mentioned numerous times before I’m a huge Pearl Jam fan. So naturally I went to see Eddie Vedder a few times on his recent tour. One thing that always irks me is when the hardcore fans who are standing during Rival sit down during Porch. They sit because they’re cooler than everyone else who only know the words to the radio hits. I get it. But the fact is that those are the songs that got you into the band in the first place. So get up off your ass and sing along… continue reading.

“Yeah, I got on sneaks but I need a new pair.” Like most people who grew up listening to hip hop in the eighties and early nineties, I was a sneaker head. When birthdays or Christmas rolled around sneakers were the only thing I’d ask for. And when I had any extra money in my pocket I’d immediately hustle on over to Foot Locker to grab some fresh new kicks. But those days are long gone. That’s not to say I won’t stop dead in my tracks if I see a rare pair of Air Jordan 1’s… continue reading.

Here’s a tasty recipe from Dave Ruel’s brand new Metabolic Cooking guide. This recipe, as Dave says, is good when you have leftover salmon. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m obsessed with sweet potatoes. So when you combine them with one of my favorite sources of protein you get what I think is  a pretty delicious meal. Give it a shot and let me know how you like it. Ingredients •    8 oz salmon, cooked •    1 tbsp olive oil •    ¼ cup chopped onions •    ¼ cup chopped red peppers •   … continue reading.

Up right now in the Renegade Inner Circle is what I consider to be the most important article I have written to date. As many of you know, I am always improving upon my methods and sometimes change my view points when I find a better way of doing things. It’s part of the natural evolution process. You learn, you adapt and you get better. In the past I have always prided myself on the fact that I could get guys strong faster than just about anyone I know. But now I realize that in a… continue reading.

I’ll be honest; I love to eat. Probably more than anything else. Although George Costanza’s idea of the perfect trifecta didn’t sound too bad too me… “I fined the pastrami to be the most sensual of all the salted cured meats.” If you’re like me and love to eat, getting in shape can be brutally hard. Watching people eat delicious meals while you’re choking down something bland and boring can be pure torture. It’s no wonder more people can’t get ripped like they want to. Luckily my buddy Dave Ruel (fellow Wu Tang Clan fan) has put together a… continue reading.
