Body weight strength at its finest.

April 30, 2010

There are different kinds of strength and this is one of them.  I saw a video like this a little over a year ago and I should have shared it, but I didn’t.  You won’t be seeing this stuff at La Fitness.  This is hard core. I’m sure that any elite level gymnast can perform [...]

Strength? Do you have it? This guys does…

April 28, 2010

Pittsburgh is a mecca for strength and human performance..   I don’t care where you are from, these guys are freaks!  He sure “ain’t” no personal trainer.  The good news is that some Yinzer isn’t going to meet this guy in the street (drunk after a Pens game) and find out what tough is all about.

A real life Hero.. not just an athlete

April 4, 2010

There’s not much to say about Pat Tillman other than I feel like I’m wasting my time when I look at what this man did in such a short period of time.  He trained for sports performance and successful, but made his mark at a soldier fighting for what he believed was right. Share and [...]

Core Training for Sports Training

Dr. Mel Siff is one if not the greatest minds to have studied human performance.  Not only was he a scientist, he actually trained and I believe compete in Olympic Lifting.  Read that again.. a “thinker” who understands truly how the human body works by study and practice. A repost in supertraining Yahoo Here is [...]

Quick fix? With Sports Training or Fat Loss there isn’t a quick fix!

March 6, 2010

I just saw  an add on Craigslist for a personal trainer who is offering 30 minute training sessions for a “quick fix”. FYI, there is no such thing as “targeted fat loss”.  You can do literally 1000 crunches a day.  If your body fat is above 8-9% you are not going to see that six [...]

Umberger gets respect after scoring 2 goals in Philly

January 20, 2010

RJ played in Philly for the first time since being traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets.  Columbus wanted him and made an offer that was hard to the Flyers to pass up.  As a Pittsburgher, I’m suppose to hate Philly. Trust me, other than hockey- I do.   I always thought that Philly was a great [...]

Umberger Performance Client Ryan McGrath signs with Holy Cross

January 20, 2010

Congratulations to Ryan McGrath for signing with Holy Cross.  It was a challenging decision for Ryan because his need to find a program that would allow him to receive ice time for four years instead of watching for the first two of his college career.  Academics were also a priority for Ryan in making this [...]
