It’s Wednesday, and I know you’re probably dragging…  sucks for you!  I kid, I kid…  But seriously, as Todd talks about in his new book, “The Pull-Up Manifesto,” challenges can be a great tool to break away from boredom.  So I propose a challenge!  (Who’d-a-thunk-it??) Enter the Dragon Flag Challenge: It’s true, these guys are rarely...

Hello world!  It’s Chris and I’m back again with another edition of “Heard of this?”  We finally got bumpers at the new facility (thanks to Sorinex for the AMAZING prices, and to my client Lindsey for finding them!), so I figured, what better to do than finish off our lift the other day with some...

Hiiiiiiiiii!  Sorry, I got really excited there- sorry about that!  So it has been a killer week at Beyond Strength Performance.  The blog has been on fire with posts, and I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to get my turn.  I received too many emails to even count over the last few days…...

Merry belated Christmas everyone!  I don’t know about you, but I just had an all-around amazing holiday weekend.  For part of the weekend I went to Newburgh, NY (right near West Point) to visit my 94-year-young grandmother, “Granny” Cornish.  I don’t get to see her as often as I’d like to, and let me tell...

I had the opportunity to meet an amazing group of individuals this past weekend- a large group of Reconnaissance Marines.  They were in town to support a fellow Marine, Sean Reed, who was making his amateur debut in mixed martial arts.  Little did I know, this would turn into something MUCH bigger.  Let me back...

Hello world!  I’m back again with another edition of “Heard of this?”…  this time around I’m going to  shed some light on a commonly performed exercise, only with a slight twist involved.  The barbell rollout is a pretty simple exercise, and most often it is performed with a plate on each side of the bar...

The grand opening has come and gone- I am so excited about everything.  I’m excited to be back writing, filming, and sharing some of what I love to do with all of you… In this post I want to talk about medicine ball throws.  When do you write them into the session?  How many reps? ...

You may (or may not) have noticed my absence from the blog lately.  I would hope that you did since my writing is so outstanding, groundbreaking, and full of awesomeness. What?  No, no- Todd wrote that post… that one too.  Okay, so maybe consistency with writing isn’t my cup of tea, but this post is...
