Leading You Into the Weekend….
I know I promised I’d post my deadlift video last night, but given that I was having trouble walking the rest of the day- which made coaching athletes a bit challenging- I drove home afterwards, and went straight to bed. Which is to say, I cried myself to sleep. On the bright side, I’m feeling… Read more
Test Day
Hmmmmm, what to write about today. Glute medius function and how it relates to anterior knee pain? Naw. Why I think guys who do ballistic barbell shrugs with 1/8 of an inch ROM (what’s the point? ) should perform a vasectomy with a Power Ranger action figure? Nope, not today. However, I’ll definitely hit on… Read more
Functional Strength Coach 3.0. Unlike Matrix Revolutions, a Sequel That Doesn’t Suck
It goes without saying that Mike Boyle is “kind of a big deal” in the fitness industry. Sure, I have written a few articles , have a fairly popular blog, and am the co-owner of a pretty kick ass strength and conditioning facility. But when it comes to really big names in the industry; those… Read more
Real World Evidence That Endurance Athletes Are Missing the Boat

Bringing Back the Old School- T.R.O.Y
Anyone who knows me well enough, knows that I loves me some classic hip hop. It’s always amusing when I bust out my iPod at work and play my When Hip Hop Didn’t Suck playlist with the likes of A Tribe Called Quest, Public Enemy, Jeru the Damaja, KRS One, Gang Starr, De la Soul,… Read more
You Made It!
You didn’t really think I’d send you to a NSFW website did you? So, here it is, my new blog. From here on out this will serve as ‘homebase’ for all of my content. Welcome! I have to admit, this wasn’t my first choice for a domain name. Nope. After a thorough study group, it… Read more
It’s Monday, but It’s Still Random
Kind of short on time today, but wanted to fill everyone in on some updates: 1. You may recall last week when I casually mentioned I’ll be switching over to my own site in the very near future. To review, the new site is going to serve as “homebase” for all of my content, including… Read more
Stuff I’m Reading, Have Read, or Going to Read. I’m Smart
With the extended holiday weekend upon us, I’m copping out today and keeping this post short and sweet. But lets be honest, no one is at work today anyways, so the likelihood that anyone other than my mother will read this before Tuesday is slim to none. Also, before I go, I just wanted to… Read more
