About thirty people, maybe a little more, showed up in a torrential downpour on a Sunday morning to meet Powerlifter and Cube Method innovator Brandon Lilly at Savage City Strength in Hillsborough, NJ.

My Visit To Savage City Strength
Hardcore gyms. Things such as the internet, YouTube, and other forms of social media are known to get lots of flack, sometimes for very good reasons. Heck, before I made the decision to become a personal trainer I had shunned social media alone for more than two years! But upon my return to it, alongContinue reading “My Visit To Savage City Strength”

A Lesson In Humility – Lessons Learned From A Pretty Bad Training Session
Woke up pretty late today, having woken up at 10:34am, a good hour and a half later than I wanted to wake up. So, I started my day off with a cup of coffee. It’s funny, I only started drinking coffee very recently, not being able to do so before since coffee with regular milkContinue reading “A Lesson In Humility – Lessons Learned From A Pretty Bad Training Session”

So this week began not just a new, month long 5/3/1 Powerlifting cycle; but it also marks the beginning of my journey towards a 315lb squat.

But the one thing that’s mostContinue reading “Leg Day: The Journey towards 315 begins! Tuesday, November 22nd, 2016”
