My company’s logo depicts a recreation of a picture of Arthur Saxon taken in 1906.


That’s because I’ve been obsessed with “old school” strength training methods for over 23 years.


Whether we’re talking music, sneakers or training I’m old school through and through.


From Hackenshmidt to Paul Anderson to Mentzer to Kaz, they’ve all been a huge influence along the way in shaping the Renegade Method and how I design training programs today.


Vince Gironda was another big influence who was light years ahead of his time.


Like me, Vince was a renegade; a rebel who never cared what people thought of him or his training techniques.


He rubbed a lot of people the wrong way but it didn’t matterto him.


He didn’t care if you liked him or not; agreed or disagreed with him.


Results were all he cared about.


And I respect the hell outta that because I can relate.


Now, I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t agree with Vince on everything but I’ve definitely incorporated many of his ideas into my programs over the years with outstanding results.


Everything, I mean every single thing he had to say was eye opening and would make you think.


To find out what I’m talking about and to learn more about  4 of Vince’s most controversial training principles click HERE right now.


Keep an open mind and let me know what you think.

Renegade Meets Gironda

Most of you know by now how much I love the old school pioneers of the Iron Game.


One of those legends I always pay my respects to is “The Iron Guru” Vince Gironda.


Today I’m gonna give you an awesome way to combine the  Renegade Method with Vince’s training principles.


First, start your workout with some type of explosive power exercise like a jump, throw or Olympic lift. This is pretty much a Renegade staple.


Three to five sets of 1-5 reps will be sufficient for most people.


After that move on to your maximal strength exercise. That will be the squat, deadlift, overhead press or bench press.
(or some variation of those four)


This can be done Westside style for a 1-5 rep max or you can use an old school 10,8,5,3 style progression like Kaz and
Ed Coan or you can use percentages.


They all work incredibly well.  Just make sure you stick with one system for at least 3-4 months.


Now here’s where we kick it old school…


After those two exercises are done you’re going to do your assistance work Vince Gironda style to get a massive pump, build size, burn some fat and boost your conditioning. This set and rep protocol is a killer and perfect for use in a higher volume accumlation type phase.


For the exact specifics on how to do that as Vince instructed and to get the most out of it click HERE now. Keep me posted on your progress.
