Masters Workout Challenge

Alright, Round 1 is finally in the books, and I know we’re in for a treat the rest of the day. Even at 46, I still get giddy about golf tourneys. Alright… If you missed it yesterday on Instagram, I posted our “Amen” Challenge Workout:  The full details are on the post here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5nv-BeO6Oq/?igsh=cWY3NDFoMno1eWUz But, here...

Start your Masters tourney with THIS…

Finally, after a year-long wait, the Masters is here!  And with it comes this thought, “Holy smokes! Spring is here!”  If you’re starting to panic that spring is here.   Golf season is here.   And before you know it, bikini will be season is here.   And you’re not in the shape...

Betcha can’t do just one

One of the favorite things I get to do at 18STRONG is read emails of success stories from golfers like you.  Hint, Hint.  Anyway, I got an email about the success a client is having strengthening his entire body.  Instead of forcing himself to train harder with the “more, more,...

The lifting heavy weights “hack”

Well, another total eclipse of the Bonnie Tyler sun has come and gone, and the world is still here.  Guess it’s time to get back to work.   Now, if you’ve been following 18STRONG for any time, you’ll know that I cannot stand the word “hack” when it comes to your...

Hibernation to injured list

Welcome to the weekend! For those of us poor saps who live in a 4-season climate, the golf season is here…kinda.  And like clockwork.   I see golfers making the same mistake every year around this time.  They dust off their clubs.   Break out the polo shirts.   Take a look in...

Landmine squats for golfers

Today is the Cardinals Opening Day here in St. Louis, so it’s kinda like St. Patty’s Day around these parts – except everyone in town is wearing red.  The last time I went to a ball game, I was lucky enough to sit up close.  And these dudes are huge! ...

Lift a little heavier today

I’ve got a super busy day at the gym today as the warmer weather has golfers scrambling to make up for lost time, so I’ll be brief today as we solve one of the biggest problems I see in the gym – definitely in the Top 3…  We’ve established that,...

Rinse repeat doesn’t work for this

This morning, I saw the same mistake I see this in the gym almost every single day.   At our gym, we have trainers and clients outside of our 18STRONG Crew.   We also have a handful of clients who come to the gym to work out on their own...these are the...

$1M to get into shape?

This sounds bats*** crazy because you benefit more than anybody…by a HUGE margin.  BUT, what would I have to pay you to transform your fitness/life in the next 8 weeks?  $100…$1,000…$1,000,000?  Well, our local St. Louis buddies over at 1st Phorm are putting up $300,000 for the few peeps who...

Hypertrophy for golfers

Last week, it was all about mobility.  This week, let’s get huge.  So, I get this question a lot:  What is hypertrophy?  It’s pronounced hi-per-troh-fee.   And it’s just a fancy way of saying “building muscle.”   For some reason, a lot of trainers and meatheads feel more important when they use...
