1. AGGRESSIVE STRENGTH QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“Making the most of your life is not about earth-shaking achievements. It is about doing your best to be your best. This is not measured merely in terms of what you actually achieve, but by the obstacles you overcame whilst striving to succeed."
- Stuart McRobert
Have you ever met someone that has had everything handed to him or her on a silver plate? I have and the first think that I notice about these people is that they have no drive or aspirations. They just expect for things to keep coming to them as they always have. People are simply avenues for them to exploit to keep getting what they want. While some people might say that these “fortunate” people are lucky, I do not see it that way. Since they have never had to struggle, they may never experience one of life’s greatest pleasures. What is this pleasure? The feeling of overcoming difficult obstacles. Until you go through hard times you do not know what you are made of. When you do not know what you are made of you have no idea who you are.

Take Rest Pause Training To The Next Level With “Cluster Training”!
I am a big fan of heavy single-rep training. I have used RPT (Rest pause training) many times with success and I recommend it highly. Nevertheless, one way to make RPT training more intense and effective is to apply “Cluster Training.” I learned about “Cluster Training” from top strength coach Charles Poliquin. Here is how it works: do five reps with 90% of your one rep max RPT style. In other words, take 10-15 second breaks in between each rep. Once you have completed five singe-reps, take a five-minute break. Then do another five single-reps RPT style. Do five total sets of five single rep’s. Apply this methods two times a week to an exercise that you want to improve. Make sure that you take 2-3 days off between each session.
