Deload weeks, what are they, and why do coaches program them
Ever wonder why your coach is programming deload weeks? Sometimes when you see a deload week in your program, you might feel scared that you are going to lose all your gains.
How to use Olympic lifting straps
Olympic weightlifting straps are quite different from conventional straps seen in a Globo Gym.
Grip and rack positioning going in for the jerk
Are you constantly finding it difficult to lock out your jerk? Do you find yourself commonly pushing the bar forward, because the bar is slipping off of your chest? Listen up!
Feet placement for the split jerk
Do you feel unstable in your split jerk? Are your feet always feeling as if they need to be somewhere else in your split? Maybe they should be! There is much to be said about different styles of jerks, but the vast majority of split jerks will fall into a very similar positioning.

Introducing Fall Brute Body Transformation Challenge Winner
We’d like to introduce you to Mitch Probert, winner of the 2017 Fall Brute Body Transformation Challenge! Mitch has been a member with Brute Strength since the very beginning. He worked through Brute Body Phase 1 and most of Phase 2, but then was sidelined with some health issues that prohibited him from continuing. After taking nine months off, he had put on some weight and lost all of the gains he had originally made. That motivated him to jump back into the program in April of this year. We chatted with Mitch and asked him to give us some insight into what this challenge meant to him.
