Daily Doubles! Weekly Weightlifting Workouts – Snatch Focus: Week 2

September 20, 2015 by Nick Horton

Week 2 of your snatch cycle! Same basic concepts: shoot for good (contest legal; safe) technique, rather than “max” weights; get lots of total volume (sets x reps); and have as much fun as possible!

Daily Doubles! Weekly Weightlifting Workouts: Sept 7

September 6, 2015 by Nick Horton

Week 5 of a Squat Strength Cycle. This is your “taper”, or rather, a slight deload (lowering of the total load of your weekly workouts). That said, don’t mistake this as a “contest taper”, as it isn’t meant to deload you that much. Your total load is certainly much lower this week than it was […]

Bigger GainZ by Going with the Flow: Surfing vs Tic-Tac-Toe

December 17, 2014 by Nick Horton

The game of Tic-Tac-Toe was fun… until you learned the trick. Thankfully, real life isn’t at all like deterministic games like Tic-Tac-Toe, or even Chess.
