Powerlifting vs. Strongman Training

Lately, I have become intrigued by the idea of a truly HYBRID TRAINING PROGRAM! The idea of combining Strength, Power and Endurance (almost like Strongman Training) to develop a NEW type of muscle fiber and energy system that allows an athlete to display the quality of SUSTAINED STRENGTH!

In the next several months I am going to do a load of research in delve into this topic deeper.  Stay tuned as I use myself as and athletes as “lab rats” for these experimental workouts!!!

This may very well change the face of Strength and Conditioning for ever!

Below is a video given to me by Jim Smith of http://www.AcceleratedMuscularDevelopment.com
This workout is a pretty good example of the type of Hybrid Training that I am talking about.

PS - Jim Smith has a great program at http://www.AcceleratedMuscularDevelopment.com that he is currently offering at a discounted price…

BUT THERE IS A CATCH!! – This program is ONLY available at this specical price for the next 14 hours or so, basically until early tomorrow.  If you love strength training and are looking for a program that eliminates all of the “pretty boy” BS that most muscle building programs promote, than you’ll want to get your hands on this SOON!

Gridiron Strongman for Pro Football Training

I was shocked this morning to find an incredible and inspiring message sent to me by my friend Mike Westerdal (owner of CriticalBench.com).

Mike is a huge advocate of my training philosophies and has been using them to reach other strength enthusiasts and athletes in his sphere of influence.

Amongst the massive monsters and athletic beasts that Mike has been touting the benefits of my training programs, including Gridiron Strongman… is Chris Janek.

Chris is a Professional Arena Football Player, Competitive Power lifter and is currently striving for the title of “World’s Strongest Football Player.”

Well, can you guess what type of system a pro football player who is determined to be the “worlds strongest” would use to help him fulfill his goals?

You guessed it!

Check out what Chris Janek has to say about Gridiron Strongman:

“The Gridiron Strongman Program is the ultimate football training system.
The strongman and power lifting movements described in the program will help
you become a stronger, faster more explosive athlete. Respect doesn’t just
happen you have to earn it by putting forth the necessary effort in the
off-season. Games are won and lost during the off-season, so make sure
you’re following the right game plan when it comes to your football training
protocol. I’ve been following the concepts described in this program for
years and recommend it to anyone that wants a shot at becoming a
professional.”

Check out Chris’s Power lifting training session in action:

My Gridiron Strongman System combines Strongman, Power Lifting, Body building and Jump Training to create the worlds strongest and fastest football players… as you can see!

How To Get Super Strong & Fast at the SAME TIME

When I was 14 years old my uncle taught me how to weight train for football using mostly Power Lifting and Body Building… this helped me get super strong and packed several pounds of muscle mass on my skinny frame.

In college I learned about plyometrics or jump training.

A few years ago my friend Tom Mitchell taught me how to train for Strongman.

Today, I shout in the face of conventional strength training wisdom and combine ALL of these modalities to get myself and my athletes BRUTALLY STRONG and Blazing Fast… at the same time!

When designing quality results-producing strength programs for athletes you’ve got to consider the several means by which you achieve increased strength & speed.

You’ve also gotta understand how to modify your reps, sets, rest intervals and intensities to benefit from the gifts that each of these training methods have to offer.

Here are a few of the secrets to Strength & Speed development:
