Cressey Performance In-Service: Get-Up/Swing Tutorial
Around two weeks ago I wrote a post titled There’s a Time and Place For Everything. Kettlebells Included, where I essentially explained that everything in the realm of strength and conditioning is a tool, and should be viewed as such. I don’t care if we’re referring to kettlebells, TRX, sandbags, strongman, chains, bands, or whatever… Read more
Exercises You Should Be Doing: 1-Arm Landmine Row
Things have been cranking the past few days, and it’s been hard for me to keep up with the blog. I posted one up late on Monday, skimped yesterday, and am posting a short one today. I’m slacking, I know. If it’s any consolation I’m really sorry everyone, but I promise I’ll make it up… Read more
Tony and Roman Talk Superheros and Fat Loss
A few days ago I promised everyone an interview with my good friend John Romaniello, who just released his new product, Superhero Fat Loss.

Q and A: Hypermobility and the Olympic Lifts
Q: I’ve recently got into Olympic lifting, but my hamstrings are so flexible, I have no tension at the bottom and lose power. Also, my shoulders are unstable when I snatch and my wrists bend too far back when I push press, etc. I’ve just purchased wrist straps, but I’m not sure what to do… Read more
Big Without Strong is Nothing
In keeping with the “back to basics” theme from yesterday, here’s my latest article published on T-nation.com which served as more of “rant” piece than anything else. It’s pretty awesome. You should check it out. I’m a strength coach. I spend much of my day making people bigger, faster, and stronger – with a heavy… Read more
