If you’re offended so what!
Some people talk about my rants, like I’m supposed to be a sweet person and hug everyone I see. Being positive doesn’t mean I have to except everything that society is pushing. The wildman philosophy is not just a name; a wildman can turn savage without warning. A wildman is unpredictable as I have been my whole life, but people always know where they stand with me.

Working Man’s Strength Builder
A forgotten exercise and if it is done is never done like a manual labor. In gyms people will put a barbell across their shoulder and do a few reps the bar is balanced thin and the few reps do not mimic the way a laborer works.

Training in Solitude Builds a Sadistic Mindset!
For years when growing up I always had many training partners but as life goes on training partners depart. What most people do they make excuses NOT to train, they need that feeling of being part of something. I was lucky and could always motivate myself to train without anyone, hell if I waited for people to train I wouldn't be training. Training alone force's you to get mentally tough, … [Read more...]
Complicated Workouts Create Weak Results!

I really think most people that train think the more complicated a training session is the better the results. For example, I put out short workouts that require little or no equipment with basic full body type movements. I limit the number of exercises in any workout to … [Read more...]
