Strength Training Deload

perfect-storm2

Leave a comment about your favorite deload workout or tell us how your deload!

What is one of the biggest mistakes strength coaches, personal trainers, athletes and lifters make?

Good in the fact that they are trying to build muscle, get stronger and get faster. They are trying to get more mobile, more explosive and get better for their sport(s).

The Perfect Gold’s Gym Workout

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

I was recently traveling with the family and pulled into DC after a freaking 5 hour trip. The last thing I wanted to do was hang out in the hotel room with the kids going crazy hopped up on no sleep and a steady supply of “don’t make me turn this car around” all day.

I started thinking, I’m sure many of you travel and spend some time away from your normal gym. I thought it would be cool to take you through the workout I did which I think is a perfect workout for travelers.
