Over the years I have gone back and forth with this.  Sheiko really hammered into me the importance of technique, but Read More

Can you gain strength in Powerlifting without gaining bodyweight? In this VIDEO, I break down three different ways I think you can gain strength without gaining weight.

You can improve things Read More

Why Slow Incremental Progress is Important: A Neurochemistry Approach

Written by: Kevin Cann A coach I follow had asked this question on his Instagram, “Is it ever warranted to hold back an athlete’s rate of progress?”  This is a great question, and one that I have wrestled with over the years.   When I started with Sheiko, he literally told me what to put on the bar when we had our test.  It was always a 2.5% to 5% increase in each lift.  I actually surpassed this number Read More
