Control & Chaos, part 2 by Nick Horton “Nature abhors a gradient.” — Eric Schneider The ground rumbled as the thunder cracked. The neuronal-fingers stretched themselves out over the sky like a living web haunting the earth with an eye-splitting brightness. And a single firefly danced in binary, as oblivious to the spectacle as we […]

The Day The Music Died: Setting The Tone For Success At Your Gym

June 30, 2015 by Tamara Reynolds

Music used to be a big part of the atmosphere at Asheville Strength. When I was attempting to hit a 200 lb jerk for the first time, I played “Wonda Why They Call U Bitch” for weeks before every jerk attempt. That was the song I used to get me hyped up before lifts at […]

How To Become A Superhero: Richard’s Progress

June 24, 2015 by Tamara Reynolds

We joke at the gym about Richard looking like a superhero, but on Saturday, I realized how true that sentiment is. While I filmed his lifts at our meet in Winston Salem, I was able to hear the crowd’s reaction to his lifts. A new lifter who was already finished lifting for the day sat […]

The Anti-Bro: Technique Work And How PRs Are Set

June 18, 2015 by Tamara Reynolds

  On Tuesday night, Nick and I went through all of the Qualifying Totals for national meets and international masters meets.

Teresa’s Journey: Why The Key To Your Success Is Owning Your Mistakes

June 5, 2015 by Tamara Reynolds

This is a photo of my friend, Teresa. The right side is her “before” shot. This was her squat depth when she started training. And, the left side is her “after” shot. Drop it like it’s hot, right? Almost a year ago, Teresa wrote something on Facebook about her fitness journey and why she started […]

Why We Laugh When Our Lifters Fail: Secrets Of A Successful Coach, Part 1

May 11, 2015 by Tamara Reynolds

There is always that one coach at every meet. The lifter misses a lift on the platform. The coach rages. He yells, swears, and screams, “What are you doing?” or something similar. And, my lifters look at me. If they are new and have never been to a meet, their eyes are shocked or questioning. […]

April 5, 2015 by Eric Marks

Disclaimer: I wrote this originally on 4/1/15 with a very tweaked right hamstring and a fairly pissed off, undernourished brain. I decided not to publish until I had a few days to be more objective. What follows is my edit today (4/5/15). Nothing needs to be said other than success comes from the meeting of […]

Why I Am Not Your Cheerleader: The Importance Of Saying No

April 2, 2015 by Tamara Reynolds

The most important word you need to learn as a coach is the word no. Learn how to shout it, how to whisper it, and even how to laugh when you say it. No. Your lifters need to hear it. They don’t need you to cheer for them when they make a snatch with a […]
