The Classic Tips

Years ago, I offered this list of tips for athletes:

1. Use whole body lifts; rarely isolate a muscle.

2. Constantly strive to add weight to the bar and move it faster.

3. The best anabolic is water.

4. Did you eat breakfast? If not, don’t ask me anything about nutrition.

5. If you smoke or don’t wear your seatbelt, please don’t tell me the quick lifts are dangerous.

6. Go heavy, go hard.

7. Keep it simple. Less is more.

8. You have to put the bar over your head.

9. Put the bar on the floor and pick it up a bunch of different ways.

10. Know and love the roots of your sport.

I still stand by this list; however, the past few months of coaching and working with athletes have taught me a few new lessons. The first three contain warnings, the second three are the hard won lessons, and the last four are the tips that work in life, in love and in lifting, but not in that order.
