Compensations are a familiar buzzword for most of the general population, but what does that mean? When compensation takes place, changes occur in motor control, joint stability, and movement patterns across the entire body.

2017 Finale I probably start as many blogs at one time as I do books. Currently, I have 2 other blogs going as well as 2 books. I bought myself a couple of new books for Christmas, I started one of them and wanted to start the other, but I’m in the middle of an...Read More

Banded crab walks are one of my favorite exercises to preform on lower body days. The purpose of this exercise is to build strength and glute activation in both gluteus medius and maximus. Normally I like to perform this exercise before squatting or deadlifting to make sure my body is primed for the exercises. Follow...Read More
Permanent Replay I’ve lived that day in my head no less than a thousand times. The day I got a call that my brother had been in an accident and that “he may not make it.” In that moment, I feel to my knees. How. Why. Why Gregg? I couldn’t breathe and I couldn’t think,...Read More

Go ahead and give this a try.Read More
A few weeks ago, I was privileged with the opportunity to sit down with the Three Amigos over at the Iron and Lead Podcast.

I also presented on...Read More
After this short blog post about sitting back and doing nothing while someone killed themself with bad habits, I had a long talk with David about what we could do. After very short deliberation, we have decided that I am going to open up my own books to take a few clients that fall in...Read More
I Gotta Pee! If you’re a female, do double unders, squat heavy or perform other high impact exercises for any length of time and you soon find it very difficult to not pee your Lulu’s.

Man! I have been sucking at getting these things out in a timely manner, but you know what they say…better late then never! So, this next riff comes from who many would consider the godfathers of metal. Damn straight! Black Sabbath! This band holds a dear and special place in my heart. I can remember...Read More
After The Rebook Record Breakers meet I realized I needed to step away from the barbell focused on powerlifting. I love the sport but, it put much negative energy into it over the past year. Yes, I did acquire my best total during this time at the 181 weight class but with the recent decisions...Read More

The plot of zombie movies is pretty basic: human kind slowly gets taken over by lifeless creatures that turn each person they bite into another zombie and the small percentage of surviving humans are struggling to survive. It’s a scary concept but clearly fiction; definitely not something we have to worry about….right? Well, I’m here...Read More
