Hey Ladies, Lift Something Heavy!
The term passion is defined as “an intense desire or enthusiasm for something,” or as a “strong and barely controllable emotion.” Everyone reading (I hope) has a passion for something. For some it’s their children and loved ones. For others it may be the charity work they’re involved in. And even for others it may… Read more
Newsflash: People Lifted Weights Before CrossFit
Two quick stories – both of which serve as the impetus behind this post. 1. I can’t tell you how long I resisted the whole Lululemon phenomenon. Mind you: I’ve always been a big fan of their work. All apologies to my gay guy friends, but I have a Y chromosome – so sue me for… Read more
Join the Tony Gentilcore Premium Workout Group
What is the Tony Gentilcore Premium Training Group? So glad you asked!

Train the Same: Women Should Train Like Men
I’ll be honest: I was thiiiiiiiiiiis close to taking a slight “blogcation” the rest of the week. I figured since I’ll be bit preoccupied with stuffing my face with anything I can get my hands on for the next 48 hours, that most people would be in the same mindset and not really give a… Read more
