Killer Cards

Killer Cards


Here is a killer workout that you can do with or without weights. Be warned it is not for the faint of heart. You have to be willing to go through the pain and fatigue barrier to do this type of workout. Here is how it works:


1. Get a standard deck of playing cards and shuffle it up really good.
2. Designate one exercise per suit.
Eg. Hearts = Situps, Diamonds = Pushups, Spades = Squats, Clubs = Pullups. Jokers = 40 Squats non-negotiable.
3. Lay out all the cards.
4. Begin completing repetitions of each exercise according to the value set by the card. Eg. Ace = 11, Royalty = 10 etc. Complete one card and then immediately do the exercise and reps as indicated by the next card.
Note: This is a VOLUME workout...if you want to go heavy and use weights I would recommend a weight range range that you can regularly handle for 10 reps. You can try for more as you get more accustomed to the workout.


I did this today with Hearts = Situps, Diamonds = Dumbbell Bench, Spades = Bodyweight Squats, Clubs = Deadlifts Here is what the actual rep count was:
Situps = 95
DB Bench = 95 @ 90 lbs
Squats = 175 (95 + 80 from the 2 Jokers)
Deadlift = 63 @ 315 lbs (I cut the Face card number in half on Deadlifts)


All total that was 428 repetitions! In the DB Bench I moved 8,550 lbs and 19,845 lbs in the Deadlift. Not bad for a workout that takes less than 30 minutes to complete and leaves you gasping and exhausted on the floor!


With our without weight the Killer Cards is a great workout and its made a huge difference in my overall conditioning and my body composition.

Office Workout Blues

If you're like me and work in an office you might get a little tired and sluggish...especially with long days and late nights. I had a great little break and blew off some steam with this workout. It only took a few minutes, woke me back up and kept me moving during the day.

2 Sets 50 Push Ups
100 Squats
3 Sets 10-15 Dips
Lunges 30 yards down and back

Let me know if you have anything that you do that helps with your office workout!

Arm Chokes-Darce & Anaconda

I've been working specifically on arm chokes for about a year now. Here are two that cover more or less the same principle but to opposite sides. Here is a quick version of how to do them.

Grappling Rehydration

Over the past few weeks I have been taking a supplement called Rehydrate by Advocare. I have noticed a couple of very striking differences to what I've experienced with other 'sports drinks'.


I notice that as I drink the rehydrate that I actually feel like my thirst is satiated. In the past that has been hard to accomplish. I've tried Gatorade, Powerade, just about every kind of 'ade' out there as a post workout rehydration. I notice that even though I drink them I don't really 'feel' much of an effect in terms of quenching my actual thirst and for lack of a better word...that dehydrated feeling. I am happy to say that Advocare's Rehydrate drink does just that!

I am noticing a huge difference in my body's ability to feel rehydrated and actually not feel drained. This is a unique sensation especially since having wrestled and grappled for the past 18+ years I know a thing or two about what it feels like to be dehydrated. The best I can equate it to is when you give a dry plant some water it seems to perk back up right before your eyes. That is how Rehydrate makes me feel.

I have noticed that I feel more energy after drinking my Rehydrate. Typically I notice an overall energy drain and tiredness after my grappling workouts from losing so much fluid (especially when I train the gi). After drinking Rehydrate I feel like my alertness is still there and I don't feel groggy. So far I've felt really good and I am sleeping better because I'm rehydrating better. I really love this product!

Nutrition & Supplementation

My wonderful wife Brynne has been amazing in changing our family's eating habits. She has been very studious and diligent in changing our average diet into an amazing one! We have both lost fat and been getting leaner and stronger. Our three kids are also happier and their behavior is more consistent.


What did we change? Just about everything....


We have changed to a 'clean diet'. It is such a seemingly simple concept but who really knows or gets what 'clean' actually means?!? My wife came across some great books that have really enlightened us and I have found some great supplements. We are eating more fruits, vegetables and whole foods. We are avoiding fatty foods, sweets and other processed foods. I honestly can't explain it all as she is the cook, I just love the food! Our new way of eating has definitely helped my recovery and my ability to perform in my workouts!


I also have been supplementing my new great eating style with some amazing supplements. I take a post workout recovery shake after lifting and drinking a rehydration drink right after my grappling workouts. I feel like I'm getting better recovery and know that my body is getting more of what it needs when it needs it most.


These adjustments are helping me as I matched a personal best in my deadlift and have been adding consistent poundage to my bench press!
