Bob Youngs and the Restless
I became acquainted with Bob Youngs well over a decade ago when the internet and lifting forums were still in their infancy. Like many aspiring lifters, Bob served as my guide when I was somewhat lost in the dark, weightlifting wilderness.By Glenn "Apollo" Buechlein

Squats: 100 reasons why YOU do them
If you don’t know what a squat is… watch and learn: 1.) “It’s hard to puke doing curls.” – Dave Tate 2.) “It’s a great excuse to wear a big ass belt that makes you look less fat.” – Dave Tate 3.) “I love hearing ‘head up’ and it NOT being from a teacher.” – [...]By EFS Readers

Failure Fixation
Did Arthur Jones have it right when he essentially devoted his life to convincing people they needed to train to failure? Or was the Nautilus inventor and High Intensity Training (HIT) pioneer just an angry, dissenting crank whose primary goal in life was to upset the order and sell more products? Time will tell, and maybe it already has. Either way, there are myriad considerations to take into account when examining the practice of training to failure – points that, once you’ve given them some thought, might just make you reconsider your position and change the way you train.By Frank Francisco

Powerlifting Sport Psychology Training
Have you ever been to a powerlifting meet and heard someone boast about colossal training lifts? These claims are commonly made backstage or in the warm-up area. Very frequently, these comments follow a poor meet performance. Why would a competitive lifter brag about training numbers after a pitiable performance? It’s because they, once on the platform, are overrun with feelings of anxiety rather than the performance enhancing feelings of adrenaline. These men may be physical giants, but when coupled with their mental dwarfism, they will never achieve their maximum potential. In the pages that follow, I will lay out a simple plan to help you, the competitor, achieve success not only on the lifting platform but on the platform of life as well.By Josh Bryant

Separate from the Pack
After serving four years in the Marine Corps and one tour in Iraq, I was finally done. I had served my country valiantly and fought for my freedom. I said to myself, “It’s time to let loose.” So I did exactly that. Five months and thirty pounds of fat later, I was a mess. I became another statistic, another face in the crowd. I was one of the sixty plus percent of overweight people in this world.By Tony Montgomery

EFS Classic: Product of Your Desires
You hear people talk all the time about how someone is a product of his or her environment. This is almost always the case when someone has done something wrong, and the argument is used as an excuse for the person as if they had no choice in the matter other than to become what their environment leads them to beBy Matt Kroczaleski

My Journey to the Grappler’s Quest: Part 2
The nerves didn’t hit until I walked into the Las Vegas Sports Center for Friday night weigh-ins. As I looked around the large event center, I spotted numerous UFC fighters, world champion grapplers, cauliflower ears, Mohawks, and tattoos (and of course scantily clad fighter groupies). Intimidation set in even more as I sized up my competition during the tense weigh-in process. The next day, some of these fighters would be my opponents with full intentions of breaking my arm or choking me unconscious! Negative thoughts started to flood my mind. Had I trained hard enough? Was my skill level ready for a tournament of this caliber? I quickly pushed these thoughts out of my head when I recalled one of my favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes: “The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.” My confidence was immediately boosted.By Jesse Cohen

How I Passed Basic Training at 235 Pounds
Before I get started here, I want to say that I am in no way, shape or form a badass. I’m simply an average guy with a little better than average genetics, and a good work ethic. I know a hundred guys that are tougher and more hardcore than I am. They just haven’t written their stories down on paper yet.By Donnie Kiernan

Making It Work
As a powerlifter, grad student, father, and husband, I hear piles of insane BS from the general populace. “Wow, I could never do that.” “You can lift how much?” “You must be on steroids.” “I used to do that and then I broke ____.”By Adam Plagens

Better Than Some, Worse Than Others
My name is Dana Herrs. I know what you are thinking…who is this person? I’m certain that anybody reading this hasn’t heard of me. It’s because I haven’t accomplished anything in the world of powerlifting or coaching or in any college or professional sports of any kind.By Dana Herrs

No Excuses = Results
I want to talk about a very important topic—how to get results. Obviously, this is something that everyone is interested in. However, most don’t fully understand. I’m going to set the record straight and be 100 percent honest, which may offend some people.By Jason Hanisak
