How Important is the Bench Press anyway? I can't say that it will improve your skill in playing your sport. However, improving your upper body strength will make you a stronger athlete. As a coach, the weight room is just a way to improve physical qualities about each athlete. In other words, I have seen many phenomenal lifters that were not very good at their sport. Nevertheless, I am shocked when we provide camps and clinics only to realize that upper class men in HS still do not know how to bench press. How is that possible? Let's think about how crowded HS weight rooms are and many sport coaches are not fitness trainers. They most of the time do not have fitness certifications but are forced to teach athletes on how to become faster and stronger. It does not make much sense does it. I will detail below how to properly bench press. Please comment if you have some more tips. 1) Head Position- Your eyes should be aligned with the bar and head should be aligned with yo...

Vinny's pizza was a small spot in Hollywood, FL . My brother and I were always thinking of ways to make more money as we saw our mother struggle to make ends meet. This was perfect for us...so we thought. Our good friend Tyrone introduced us to Vinny and the rest is history. Vinny offered us positions as flyer carriers for different neighborhoods. That is just a fancy word for Vinny dropping us in the neighborhood with a bundle of flyers to hang on every door we could. I remember those days like it was yesterday. The sun was beaming hot and I would have done anything to be around my brother. I admired him because he was a natural born leader. He also was one of the best athletes I have ever been around. In fact, my brother was timed at a 4.39 40 yard dash in eighth grade. We had several private schools in the area who wanted him to play football for them. But my brother made some bad decisions that led him towards a different path. Let's get back to the Vinny exper...

Many have asked me what the chamber is all about. They have heard us mention it when we are talking about training, so most thought it had to do with physical training. And you would be right. However, there is much more to it. The chamber is harnessing your God-given passion for training to change your mindset about training. I was a rookie to the chamber until I stepped on my college campus. Dan Helms and the example showed me what it really meant to enter the chamber.   The chamber has everything to do with overlooking your equipment limitations in the weight room or focusing on what you don't have. Our weight room was real old school. But, the more results I received the more I realized that fancy machines were not needed to get results. We had everything you need to obtain results. Let's take a trip down memory lane. We had some benches, rusty weights, bars, dumbbells, squat racks, and hammer machines. I can still remember the rust on my shirt when we left the we...

This is something I have been wanting to address for some time. Coaches are in a great position to make a difference in a young man’s life. However, a coaching job can be very demanding. Many coaches are the first one there and often the last to leave. HS coaches sometimes have to teach a subject, manage students, manage athletes, study film, and the list goes on. I could recall when I coached leaving the office on game nights at 11 p.m. That is not exactly a formula for being chiseled. College coaches are also under tremendous stress to win and their schedules are hectic. I remember my college football coach sleeping in his office instead of his home during two a day practices. I also recalled watching a documentary of one of the best football programs in the nation and a coach saying he would skip lunch just so he could make it home by 10 p.m. I know if you don’t you don’t stay at the major programs, but there is no way I am sacrificing my family for football. You don’t get t...
