I just got back from speaking at the NSCA SSC in Orlando. It was a bit of a midnight run, In on friday night and back on Saturday. I got a chance to spend some time with the new President Dr. Jay Hoffman and some of the other newly elected NSCA leadership. I am excited about the direction the NSCA is going and cant wait to get more involved. Finally we have a president who knows the difference between a barbell and a bozu ball!
I will be coaching this weekend at the first (of many) Crossfit Football Certification. John Welbourn has a fantastic idea with this and I am honored to have been asked to be part of it.

Pulling a barbell from the floor, along with squatting, is one the best ways to develop overall brute strength. It is also pivotal in learning how to do the Olympic lifts properly. However, most people are unable to properly pull a bar from the floor.

Squatting, often called the “King of all exercises” is one of the most effective and efficient ways to build overall strength and stability in the body. However the squat is often performed incorrectly, thereby limiting its effectiveness and greatly increasing the chance of injury.

I will be assisting Mike Burgener at the CrossFit Olympic Weightlifting Certification on November 10-11th at Mikes Gym in Vista California.I am really looking forward to this. I have been a huge fan of Crossfit for some time now and this will be my first opportunity to be part of a Crossfit event. I think they are the most exciting thing to happen to conditioning since blood doping. Just kidding. I have used Crossfit style training with many of my MMA, Military, and Law Enforcement clients for years. They all have said Crossfit training prepares them for “Battle” better than any other conditioning method. I guess I will take the word of people that actually do go into battle.
