Welcome to the Joe Weir Strength Blog!
This is where I'll be posting my thoughts on a number of topics, or at least the ones I know about. From time to time I'll dabble with some other topics but for the most part I'll be ranting, uhh I mean talking, about training! If there's anything you'd like me to talk about by all means let me know and I'll be sure to include it.
I like to keep things short and sweet, so thanks for dropping by and checking out my blog!

As a follow up to my last blog post, and to satisfy my obsession with crushing grip strength, I'm going to lay out a guide for torsion spring grippers. I'll make it as comprehensive as I can and it will contain information for people with and without experience with grippers.

In Part 1 we talked about watered down knowledge floating around, intensity, and its meanings, 'burning out' (or lack thereof), acclimation and percentage based training. In part 2 I simply want to talk about one thing: The Definition of Strength.

The House of Cards

Very recently I came across someone, and more importantly their training, and it warrants some blog attention.
This whole mess stems from single's training, which I dare say I know a thing or two about, and volume. The jist of the discussion is that if you perform more than one, or two, singles you are headed down the road to overtraining. This person went from one extreme end, overtraining, to the other, barely getting a training effect, and after posting a few comments and opinions I realized it was over before it began.
