Time Crunch Workouts
Life happens. There will come days when you don’t have much time to devote to training. And there will also be days where you just don’t want to do your entire workout; you’ll want to do the bare minimum and be done with it. Whenever those days happen, that is when I like to use time crunch workouts. When performing time crunch workouts (or get-in-the-gym, get-done-as-soon-as possible-and-leave …

If I Had to Pick One Thing
I really don’t like the question, “If you could only do one exercise, what would it be?” The reality is that I don’t have to choose just one thing, and neither do you. And more than likely, I never will have to choose just one. But since people like asking the question and receiving a genuine answer, I’ll take a stab at it.

I like to make stuff myself because I find it enjoyable and interesting, especially if it will save me some money in the process. For example, I showed you How to Make Your Own Sandbag a couple of years ago. It was very cheap and easy to make, and I still use it to this day. Today I’m going to show you how to make your own weight lifting/powerlifting chains. …
