  1. “Grease to Groove is a highly simplified training methodology that's been derived from Soviet weightlifting methodology. So in a nutshell, this is what you do. Throughout the day, every day, whenever you feel fully recovered, so you have to have at least 15 minutes of rest between sets, you know, maybe 30, maybe even more, is you're going to do a set and you're only going to do about half the repetitions that you're capable of. So for example, you picked up a particular ripper, you start squeezing it, and you probably could do it 10 times, but you only do five and you put it down. Let's say you later on pick up a gripper that's a little heavier. Maybe you could do three reps with it, but you do only one. And in this particular manner, you accumulate reps, and you keep going and going and going. And everybody tells you that's impossible to get strong in this particular manner.”

  2. “It can be done in conjunction with full body training regimen that uses, let's say, kettlebells climbing ropes and so on. But if it is not, then what I recommend that you do is you get some grippers. So the company is called Iron Mind.com. And they carry hand grippers. One thing you need to understand is these are now those little sissy plastic grippers you get at a store. These are heavy duty grippers. They go up to 365 pounds. A couple people in the world have done that. And they also do have resources on how to do that. But even without reading how, I can tell you how to train. So get yourself a couple of gerpers, use their chart, their recommendations that Iron Mind offers, and start training them in the manner that I refer to as grease the guru.”

  3. “complete the release and let go and bring it down so for strength would do the opposite we have special techniques where you increase that pressure and maximize your power so that's those are just a couple of the different ways we can increase his strength and that's what you've seen in my certification FYI I am no longer with that organization so my company today is called Strong First And SMG certification, that's that same curriculum that you have learned back then.”

  4. “Visualize your muscles as speakers and visualize your brain as the gadget that plays in music, whatever it is these days, iPad, iPhone, whatever. And record player, doesn't matter. And the amount of your pressure, the pressure in your abdomen, the inter-abdominal pressure, that's the amplifier. That's the volume control. So by increasing the pressure in your abdomen, it's like you're training abdomen and vice versa. So when you're trying to stretch when increasing your flexibility, if you see somebody they're trying to do a split and you see the person is creating high intrapal pressure and that just increases the tension of the muscle. Instead, what you need to do, you need to”

  5. “Well, Tim, there is such a thing as called irradiation, so the phenomenon of irradiation, what it really means is if you contract a muscle, the tension from that muscle is going to spill over to the neighborhood muscles. So for your listeners, I'd like to try this. Make a fist. Probably going to feel tension in your forearm. Now make a tight fist. You're going to feel tension on your biceps, triceps. Now make a white knuckle fist. You're going to find that tension is going to spread into your shoulder, your lat, your back, and so on. Okay, folks, you may relax now. And the same thing happens. So certain areas of the body have this great overflow of tension. So the gripping muscles amongst them. Why? in part because they have such a great representation in your nervous system, in your brain. And as for the abs and”

  6. “Dan has a terrific concept of the quadrants, the four quadrants on one grid you're going to see the level of development, the level on the other one you're going to see the level of specialization. It's really quite hard to explain that over audio. But if you look up, type in Dan John and Quadrants, that's a terrific concept. So what that allows you to do is it allows you to place yourself today in the particular quadrant according to your status, according to your goals, and select the correct type of training for yourself. That alone is going to save years of preparation for you. So that's just one of the many things. Dan and I have exchanged these little tactical tidbits and details over the years, and I highly recommend Dan John's work to anybody, anybody who's an athlete or anybody who... thinks of himself or herself as an athlete.”

  7. “There is, and he's so again, he just gets past the flop. He gets to the things that matter. And Dan does not try to impress you. Dan tries to guess the results. So Dan and I, collaboration with collaboration with Dan over the years, we have taught each other a lot and our views and strengths are very similar, even though they are colored in some way. So that's why we have written this book called The Easy Strength. And so Easy Strength was about Making yourself strong for your sport, not making lifting your priority. That's what easy strength was about.”

  8. “Andy Bolton, Andy Bolton, he's the first person to deadlift over 1,000 pounds. He's an amazing athlete. He's a very, very smart trainer. So Andy Bolton and I, we have written a book together called The Deadload Dynamite. And the reason Andy and I have written this project together is, again, Andy's very smart trainer, and his particular style of deadlift looks exactly like the kettlebell swing that I teach. So it's again that fit of the body language. I have written a book called Easy Strength with Dan John. Dan John is a strange coach extraordinaire. You would really love interviewing Dan on the show because he's”

  9. “Well, Tim, they call me the kettlebell gu They call me the father of the kettlebell, which I appreciate very much. I did introduce together with my business partner. I did introduce the kettlebell to the West. And right now the kettlebell has become a mainstream. But what I'm really all about is about the principles. The underlying principles of strength training. The underlying principles of strength. Reverse engineered the way the strongest people move naturally, and I have brought it to the people. I have shown to people how to move in this manner and how to shave off years and if not decades of training to progress to a much higher level.”

  10. “The bar on the way up also contract your glutes as tight as possible like somebody's gonna kick you in the butt very very tight so you just like crunch a walnut and at the same time tighten your abs as if somebody's gonna kick you which you know somebody might so if you do that if you do these three things if you contract your glutes contract your abs contract your grip everything that you do absolutely everything is going to be greatly amplified And this is just a small example of the skills of strength that I do teach.”

  11. “The concentration of mental force, and for your listeners I could give a very simple example how you can do that in your gym. Let's say that you perform try to the simplest exercise possible, try to the dumbbell curl or barbell curl because I know your sissy's out there, you'll do that. And so let's say that you're going through your curls and things are suddenly starting to get tougher. So when they suddenly start to get tougher, I want you to just crush the dumbbell or the barbell or the kettlebell, whatever it is that you're curling, just white knuckle, white knuckle pressure, and what you will see is you're going to definitely going to be able to get several more repetitions out. And I'm going to give you two more techniques in addition once you have practiced that the next set, in addition to crushing”

  12. “And Victor, for his strength also, that gentleman is exceptional both in his strength and his endurance, but for his strength, he relies on the nervous system, not so much in the muscle tin. And again, that's what's so different. You can, if you look at a typical person and how do you get him stronger, let's say that you have a four-cylinder engine. And what the person would do is they would make that six-cylinder engine. But before you're firing in two, now you're firing in three. But if instead what you do is you learn to fire in all four. So there are ways of training your nervous system to engage your capacity so much more fully. And if you look at high-level performers at light body weight in some fields, let's say a very high-level martial artist, somebody very skinny, breaking a stack of boards, or very skinny guy like Lamar Gant, deadlifting five times his body weight. So this is so much about”

  13. “Well, to him Plutarch, who said thousands of years ago that the training of a soldier and the training of an athlete is radically different, that an athlete has the luxury of a pampered lifestyle, and the soldier doesn't. So this is pretty much the difference. So what you want to do is you want to build the training that becomes, in the words of one of my favorite authors, Nassim Taliab, anti-fragile A type of training that thrives on a very harsh environment that's really robust in these different environments. And that's pretty much the difference. How do we do that? We have to strip all the non-essentials down pretty much what you do in your work with different business, with lifestyle, and so on. And once we get down to the things that really matter and we apply them, then everything suddenly becomes very simple.”

  14. “So, what I do is I take methods that perform very well in very rugged environments. And I take this methods and I apply it to other environments. So if somebody decides I just want to change my life, I want to get stronger. I want to have a better game of tennis. I want to succeed in a given sport. I take the same methods that have been tested by operators at war, and I bring these people the same methods”

  15. “I used to be PT training instructor, physical training instructor for Spetsnaz, the service special forces, and my education is in sports science. And I did over the years train a number of high-end units in the West. I've been a subject matter to U.S. Marine Corps, to the U.S. Secret Service, to U.S. Navy SEALs and others. And my methods are used officially by some very high-end military and counterterrorist units in two countries that are main allies of the United States. What I do, pardon me?”

  16. “Programming, planning your training. You go from A to B, you want to add fifty pounds to your deadlift. This is what you do. And unfortunately, the world of programming is very confused. Well, the whole world of fitness is very confused. And again, what I attempt to do is to bring principle-based training. So when you understand the principles, applications are many. Applications are easy.”

  17. “Tim, I have been able to take very complex subjects, take them apart, and put them back together in a manner that's very simple, that can be delivered to regular people without losing the essence of what these systems. So I'm talking about specifically serious strength training. I'm talking about both programming, and I'm talking about what I would refer to as the body language of strength.”

  18. “Yes, I do, Tim. As you, I'm a big fan of simplicity in my life and different aspects of my life. And for our work week really resonated with me. And at that point, I remember writing an article and I entitled that article Ferris Bueller's Day at the Gym. And I sent you that article and submitted it for a blog.”
