Hey kids,

I wanna talk about some serious stuff here.

Breaking records.

If you’re an athlete training for sport, you’re trying to get better everyday.

If you’re not, why even compete?

If you’re not an athlete but love to train, you’ve got to approach this the same as an athlete.

You’re either getting better or you’re getting worse.

You never stay the same.

Everyday is a grind my friends.

A grind to get better.

Maybe just by a inch or sometimes a whole mile. You take steps forward.

The best way I know to be absolutely positive you’re taking steps in the right direction is by breaking records.

When I say records, I mean you’re own personal records.
Who cares what Johnny down the street is doing.  You worry about YOU.

As long as you’re adding weight to the bar, jumping higher, running faster, or getting quicker, that’s all that matters.

What type of progress are YOU making.

Break personal records.

To break personal records you need to creates records.

Challenge yourself – write stuff down – weights uses, times, inches, anything that can be measured and tested.

Write these things down then BEAT all of your recorded numbers.

Keep breaking records and you’ll be a winner.

Now get after it!

Check out this video – it gets me pumped!

I have such a passion for the iron that it doesn’t take much to get me going.  Even if I’m alone…

Do YOU have the passion?

Find YOU’RE passion and  break F*ckin’ records period!

Until next time,

Get Forged Strong!

PS – If you’re an athlete in the Omaha Area – we’ve got dudes signing up for memberships right now.  The gym is filling up! I wouldn’t want to be training just out of your high school gym or you local corporate gym and have to go up against a forged trained athlete – the result would not be pretty.

Contact me for info on how to join our gym.  Memberships are EARNED – can you earn a membership??

Contact me to set up a trial session NOW – 402-984-0791 or email theforgedathlete@gmail.com

Hey dudes,

We rolled by Bennington High School the other day and got in front of some eager wrestlers wanting to kick some major ace!  We took these boys through one of our general workouts.  It was a huge difference for these guys to say the least but they had fun!

What I love about wrestlers in general, especially these kids, is that they love to work out!  If you’re a wrestler and hate to get sweaty, dirty, or even bloody, you’re in the wrong sport!

Man it makes me miss the days where I was wrestling!  I gave my heart and soul to the sport.  I would love to get just one more match in!  What I wouldn’t do…  You may be seeing me in some open tourney’s come this spring!!  Ha Ha!  I’ll have to get some new wrestling kicks and I doubt my old AAU singlet fits anymore!  We’ll see… -Travis

Now, back to our little trip….    These kids got after it!  A lot of the exercises we took them thru were new ones for these guys but they listened, learned, and put in 110% effort and we love and respect that to the highest degree!  We hope to continue to work with these boys further on down the road.

Expect to see some of these dudes from Bennington High killing it this coming year!  Hopefully they can land another team state championship!   Other class B schools in NE, watchout!  There may be some state champs on the team as well!  Either way, we got their backs!

Check out the a few of the highlights of our first encounter with these dudes ===>   Bennington High School Wrestlers

Until next time,

Dudes,

Glad everyone is out there trying to get strong. Everyday I try and think of different ways I can incorporate a different exercise to get that most wanted muscle.

I remember the days where three sets of 10 was the norm. I used to lift like this constantly because I didn’t know any better. I am here to say that over the years I have incorporated many different tools and lifts to get strong as hell and lift big weights.

It’s all about change and not letting your body get used to what you’re doing.  I now incorporate tools like sandbags, kettle bells, rope climbing, kegs, tires, prowlers and all odd objects are fare game.

Doesn’t that sound like fun?  The days of lifting on machines are over.  They don’t get you what you are looking for anyway so why use them.   Start working with free weights, sand bags, kettle bells, tires, ropes, and just heavy odd objects.

It’s give your body the shock you need to see new growth in size and strength!

Get Forged Strong!
