Reminder: today is the last day to get the TACFIT 26 program with all the additional bonuses for $50 off the normal price. The sale ends at midnight! I quickly spliced together some footage from a TACFIT 26 workout I tried the other day. This is from the TACFIT 26 Qual Workouts (instructor level), [...] I thought I had seen it all, and then I saw this video showcasing ten weird feats of strength. To say that I’m flabbergasted would be an accurate analysis, and my jaw may have dropped open once or twice without my knowledge. If you want to experience a similar physical response, then check out the video below. Also, fair warning that some of these feats of strength may border on disturbing. Don’t say I didn’t warn you! Top 10 Weird Feats of Strength Build World Class Strength With These Expert Tips From Dan John
I first ran across Dan’s work when I read one of his articles on T-Nation back in 2004 and have followed him on and off since then. Dan was one of the men who really inspired me to get serious into the iron game back when I was in college, and Dan who pushed me over the edge to learn the Olympic lifts when the opportunity finally presented itself. I’ve always admired his no-nonsense, simple approach to strength training, and the fact that he’s got nothing up his sleeve. He’s open, honest, and humble – and he knows his craft very well. Seriously, this is a man who can get you ridiculously strong if you want it bad enough, and his advice is always spot-on. If you told me nine years ago that I’d eventually be interviewing Dan John, I wouldn’t have believed you. But after one email and a bit of phone tag, I was on the line with him picking his brain about all things strength and fitness. Learn these three levels of stretches to help you release tension in and around your forearms to boost your recovery after grip-intensive training sessions.Have you ever had one of those training sessions where you could barely squeeze anything with your hands afterwards? And that may even be an understatement. Sometimes, you can barely even move your hands at all and it feels like your forearms are literally on fire. You know that ‘ol tingly sensation I’m talking about, don’t you? If you do any high-volume grip work, whether it’s with a barbell, your bodyweight, clubbells, kettlebells, sandbags, etc., you probably know exactly what I’m talking about. Now, I’m all for training hard and all, but if you’ve worked your grip muscles so hard that your arms have been downgraded to two immobile stumps, then you’ll need to know how to get them back to normal again as quickly and efficiently as possible.. Enter compensatory movement. That’s just a fancy term for a method that helps to balance out the body after and in-between training sessions. It’s a way to boost recovery and prevent muscle imbalances, and using this simple tool can make a huge difference in your results over the short andlong term. So, with that said, here’s a video tutorial on how to stretch out your forearms effectively. Use these three drills to put out the fire in your forearms. Enjoy!

And when I say he’s carved out a reputation, what I mean is that the guy is a bodyweight training beast. He can do some unbelievably challenging feats of strength, on the pullup bar and off it. But more importantly, Al has a talent for not just inspiring and empowering others, but for teaching them how to achieve these challenging feats of strength, too. When we first got on the phone, I wasn’t completely sure what to expect, but I quickly found out that Al is not only a really genuine guy, but he also has a no-nonsense approach to fitness. He also has a knack for simplifying complex ideas into easy-to-understand and usually actionable solutions – a good quality for a coach. Al has a way of keeping things simple without getting too esoteric, or worse yet, going “guru” on you. When he is wearing a shirt, you can be assured that he’s got nothing up his sleeve. |
