Real
vs Relative
By
Phil Stevens
|
I often find myself
thinking on the subject of strength, and of course
the whole relative strength concept, or more so fallacy
(fallacy in My Opinion, and remember my opinion is
one thats has seen me as heavy as 320 and light
as 165 at 61 so its pretty damn
diverse where I have been) comes to mind.

I
Wish I Was Out Of My Mind!
By
Phil Stevens
|
No, I really do. Ever
since I missed what should have been an easy deadlift
in my meet its been running through my head again
and again. How? why? Likely mostly due to the fact
I have not missed a DL PR in competition in over 4
years, so of course Im going to over analyze it and
figure out what went wrong?

By
Phil Stevens
|
I had an interesting
question on setting up a class. It was targeted at
aerobic training with groups (not my first choice
or expertise) but I was able to give some great fundamental
info that I feel anyone can use for any structured
training, be it with individual or group clients,
and thought I would share it with you all.

Make
FUN Your Resolution For 2010
By
Phil Stevens
|
As the old saying goes;
All work and no play makes Phil unhappy, injured,
unmotivated and downright discombobulated. Make 2010
the year you make a pact to above all bring fun back
into your life, back into your training and nutrition.
Fun or more so the lack of effects your life as it
pertains to training in more ways then you know.
