Stuff to Read While You’re Pretending to Work: 7/18/14
I know, I know. Some of you may have logged on today and thrown your hands up in the air (and maybe tossed in an expletive or two) expecting to read part II of Confessions of an Introverted Strength Coach. Believe me: I had every intention of doing so, but given how popular it was… Read more
Confessions of an Introverted Strength Coach – Part I
Hi. My name is Tony Gentilcore, and I’m an introvert. I always have been, and always will be. And, if I’m going to be honest with myself it’s only been within the last few years of my adult life where I’ve accepted it, embraced it, and recognized that it’s played a massive role in not… Read more
Girl Power: My “Go To” Sources for Female Training
Today I wanted to highlight some of the women in the fitness industry who I feel are the movers and shakers, and those I feel set a great example for other women to follow. The one’s who “get it,” and don’t pander to the mainstream media. And, speaking truthfully, the ones who place a premium… Read more
What’s Your Problem?

Exercises You Should Be Doing: TRX Anti-Rotation Press
Peruse any Facebook wall of someone who’s into fitness and you’re bound to see any number of running themes, status updates, or stories on: 1. CrossFit, CrossFit, and more CrossFit (and with it endless Paleo recipes). 2. Intermittent fasting, still (<— that was so 2012). 3. “Do you even lift?” jokes. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. 4. Non-stop shirtless… Read more
How to Get to Where You Want to Be
I was up late this past Saturday night. Granted, late for me (10 PM) is not late for everyone else, especially on a weekend night. Moreover it’s probably when things are getting started for most people. Lisa and I had just gotten home from the movies where we saw the new Whitey Bulger documentary Whitey:… Read more
