A common thread on blogs these days is to list your last minute holiday gifts. So I thought I’d throw in my 2 cents:

Got a note this morning from my buddy Mike Guadango. He says “Strong”, the documentary about Defranco’s gym is available to purchase. Mike is one of the featured guys in the movie. So I went to the website this morning - www.strongmovie.com - and I’m stunned, emotional, motivated. Just looking at the trailer on the site (although I’ve seen it before), makes me look at these guys and appreciate the sacrifices they made to train with Joe and be the best they can be at whatever they do.

I was moved enough to immediately pull out my credit card and plop down the $29 bucks. I can’t wait to see the whole movie. If I’m feeling this way now after watching a 50 second trailer, I can’t imagine what emotions will stir after seeing the movie in it’s entirety.

Get Strong.

I wrote an article a while back called Training the Antirotators. It was published in Lax Speed Magazine, by Devoe Human Performance. Although it was written a year or so ago, I think the information is still pretty relevant. You can download the pdf file here=> Antirotators.pdf.

Hope you enjoy it.

Below is the recording of the Q&A call we had tonight. We discussed upper body strength, goalie training, agility drills, and the article we did called What a Save. All questions came via the ask lacrossestrength database at www.asklacrossestrength.com. The next call will be announced later in the week.

Politically Incorrect Holiday Fat Loss Tips

I was at a big event last week and was reminded how
important it is to have strategies for this season of high-calorie
parties and busy schedules. But I get ticked off by the tired old
suggestions you find on the Internet or in magazines like Woman’s World.

Often the suggestions are lack any substance, because the writers don’t want to imply you actually have to make a sacrifice to succeed. They make fat loss sound easy, as if all you had to do was park at the far end of the parking lot and you’d burn all the
calories from 5 shortbread cookies.

Well it doesn’t work that way…So here are my politically
incorrect, unique Turbulence Training strategies to help you keep off the holiday pounds.

By the way, I “borrowed” a few ideas from contestants in my
Turbulence Training Transformation Contest. The Transformation is rocking with social support and success stories right now, even while the rest of the world struggles with weight gain, these TT users are losing fat over the holidays.
