I haven't hit the gym yet today (I won a years supply of wine the other day and may over indulged a tad), so instead of posting another workout of mine I decided to share some great training articles that I stumbled across this fine saturday morning.

Strongman Training Made Practical, by Zach Gallman
Depending on who's manning the radio, death metal or rap starts to blare (and occasionally, "The Lost Boys" soundtrack), the smell of liniment and chalk strikes the nostrils, and heavy ass weight starts to get thrown around. Tearing calluses, getting close to passing out, and lifting things that should be impossible to lift are just the norm. 




Band of Meatheads: The Glories of Group Training, by Dan John
I've been training groups for so long that sometimes I ignore basic principles that I learned the hard way years ago. One of the keys to working in a group, especially in something physical, is to understand that you — and perhaps this is even literally true — become part of an organism.

Programs for the Pull-Up Deficient, by Tim Henriques
You can't really consider yourself fit if you suck at pull-ups. That's just the way it is.

Think of the fittest, baddest looking sumbitches at your gym: do they bang out sets of 10 or more lat-stretching pull-ups, often with a couple chalk-dusted plates chained to their waist? Or do they struggle to perform even just one anemic rep before sulking over to the assisted chin machine?
