See... It ain't just me!

Greetings Brothers!


I spend a fair amount of time and energy talking about combination training. Insisting on and rightly so how that if you’re ever going to reach your physical potential you gotta have a mix of max strength, moderate reps and endurance training. How one style won’t cut it alone. And how if you boil down the complete training info for all of the world-class athletes around the world and through out history, you will find that in one way or another they all include all three of these elements.

Everybody’s system fleshes out differently but the principles are the same because they are the principles that drive physical excellence. Here is just another example of that playing out right now…

My buddy Dave Whitley just completed an interview with another buddy of mine, Jesse Marunde. It’s up on Rugged Magazine. You can find it in our links. Now Jesse is strong. In fact he placed second in last year’s World’s Strongest Man competition. If you go read that article you’ll take away exactly the things that I just mentioned. He talks about training heavy, about training with moderate reps and about getting serious butt-kickin’ conditioning. He talks about training with kettlebells. Why? Because it’s hard and it makes your endurance sky-rocket. He talks about how the most important thing in success for most trainees is how hard and how often they squat. Where have you heard that before? And probably the gem of the whole article which was all great in my opinion, is that he says, “You just can’t get away from the fact that the guy who works the hardest generally wins.”

Hmmm…. Heavy weight, low reps, moderate reps, high reps, odd objects, crazy endurance.. hmmm… that oughta’ sound familiar by now, because that’s how it really works if you want to do more than lip-service to the phrase, “Kick butt and take names.”

So… you want to get the original info on how to put all those power concepts together about how to get super strong and enduring then check out our storefront here: http://strongerman.com/storefront.html
