Patrick made a nice lift, actually one he hasn’t hit in quite a while. Breathing is better, control is better and cleaned up many of the little flaws he had. He is on his way to a single at 275.

Recently there was a document posted on the NTF website written by the RAND Corporation regarding the military’s THOR3 program. There were a few comments but not much discussion. Do we really understand how serious the staffing and hiring issues are? This is why NTF was created. The THOR3 performance staff and programs are not […]

I started competing at the national level in 1987. I started competing before that but when I started competing at the national level it was a whole other world. When you move up to that level you better have game! I did ok, but not the best I could have done. Why, because at 23 […]

First, the core stability that is required to hit a single is much different than what is required when performing doubles and triples. Second, there is great benefit to training the abs with heavy weight and low reps. I […]

I love Cross fit. I really do! Actually I have been involved in Cross fit workouts since I was about 18 yrs old. I just didn’t call it Cross fit. I remember one of my first ICCT sessions. We worked up to a heavy single on the back squat, one that we could do deep, […]

I’ll remember this day for a long time. It was on a Tuesday and it was about 11:30 a.m. I always arrived at the field before anyone else except for Bunny, one of the equipment managers. I usually finished my workouts before any of the players and coaches showed up. It has always seemed to […]

  I remember these days like it was yesterday. I didn’t know very much back then but I did know one thing! I wanted to be like Stephen Miller. As a 15 year old kid, I watched the older guys of the Oklahoma Weightlifting Club train day in and day out. As soon as school […]

When designing an exercise program, on what areas do we typically focus? In school, I was taught to think of; warm up, flexibility, resistance and cardiovascular/respiratory training (The Historical Four). These four areas of focus remain the general recommendations from the ACSM. They have been the recommendations for decades. Actually, these Historic Four areas represent […]
