What happened to the uphill in the snow part?
Hey, the Dan John interview on your site just ROCKS.
And yes, what is it about front squats that draws so much attention?

You’d be surprised how infrequenty we all visit! In fact, I see distant colleagues far more often. I’m planning a get-together with Chad soon, and also Joe Kenn (strength & cond. coach for ASU) who lives about 2 blocks away from my house!

Charles-
In light of your conversation with Chad, and seeing as there are so many strength coaches in Arizona (particularly in the Tempe area), I am wondering if you often visit and collaborate.
I know you visited Jay Schroeder in the past. Have you visited with Jay recently? How about Poliquin?[/quote]

I did that too

Thanks, it does. You should see the videos from our last boot camp!

Beats me honestly!

Hey Team, what can we do for a contest tonight to give away another DVD?
We already had poetry and singing…

Is that because of time contraints or the lack of willingness to share on the part of some coaches?
I have found the people in our industry to be much more difficult to access than they were just a few years ago. Probably due to the recent influx of money.
Nothing that involves a camera, please. I’m stuck at work tonight with no access to one

in light of the Drt Devany post, just curious, but what does your diet look like?
It’s several things. Time constraints are one. Competitive tension is another. And when you live close to one another, you don’t sense any urgency if that makse sense? you just figure you’ll hook up at some point.

10:30am (post workout)
one serving Surge with 4 oz gatorade, 1tsp micronized creatine

CS-how long did it take you before you “made” it in the industry, can you describe your early success and failures for us? such as working enviroment and clients
OK, here’s my chronology:
In 1991, I was in Hudson Valley, NY, teaching martial arts, and doing private conditioning for a handful of athletes.
Met Fred Hatfield at a weightlifting meet, and told him I rocked and was looking for an opportunity. he sent me to Santa Barbara, CA, to work for the newly created International Sports Sciences Association.
While at ISSA, I met a lot of famous/influential people, and started writing for Muscle & Fitness and other mags. This started eveything rolling. Started working with various clients in LA area, and along the way, started speaking, consulting, etc., etc.
All of this just gradually evolved over the years until my present situation.
Mistakes? Thankfully nothing too profound. I have made them though. One “mistake” from a professional perspective, was taking so long to learn about business and marketing.
