Ever since I started seriously training for size and strength, I enjoyed trying new training methods. I just plain love training and learning new things.
I also like to take things to the extreme. I guess it’s the way I was brought up. You either do something for real, or you don’t do it.
My dad would say when I was a kid: “Anything worth doing is worth doing right.”
Well, I took that to mean work your ass off until you’re successful.
With obesity, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, and other unsafe and unhealthy statistics continuing to climb it is extremely important that we all begin taking action right now in order to avoid a possible health catastrophe down the road.
I remember a few years back I went to the NSCA PA State Clinic and watched Mike Rankin, the head strength coach at Drexel University, present on how he used gymnastic rings with his athletes.

Zach Makovsky, his assistant strength coach at the time and MMA athlete, demo’d the rings with Mike at the hands on.
