Phil Simms was the number seven overall selection in the 1979 NFL Draft. He played his entire professional career with the NY Giants and was MVP of Super Bowl XXI. He finished his career with 33,462 passing yards and is now a broadcaster for CBS. Many of you know Phil for his Sunday job broadcasting the NFL, or being the "go to" QB on Tecmo Bowl. I choose, however, to remember Phil for his greatest work: "Phil Simms NFL Workout."...
John, Is the Most Interesting Man in the World really that interesting? XX... On the surface he seems to be, but I am not sure. He is always dressed in a tux, laughing over drinks but have you seen him do anything that would indicate he is a guy’s guy? The better question is, how do you know a dude is a guy’s guy? Example one, while at the gym, the starter on your 1967 Shelby GT 500 goes bad and takes the battery with it...
Dear John, I have been following CFFB religiously and following all your advice on what it will take for me to get to the next level. From your earlier posts regarding programming, nutrition, sleep, etc., it’s clear that I need to be prepared in all phases of my life, both in the gym and outside it...
Hey guys, I attended the CFFB training you had back in March and am excited to start your training. Prior to the seminar, I was training for the games, which is evaluating fitness one AMRAP workout at a time. I was wondering if you plan on holding another combine. I know this year's combine was cancelled due to scheduling issues. I can't tell you how psyched up I am for this event...
Hi John, I read your post on Irony and you said you tested your blood sugar levels and the closer to 80mg you could keep your levels 2 hours post meal the leaner you were able to get. I started this experiment - my plan is for 30 days - give or take. I just started here is what I got...
Violence is one of the great riddles of the male sphinx. And football, for a lot of teenage guys, is how they learn to solve it. (In other parts of the world, it's rugby. Or armed robbery.) Blame testosterone—that strange ineluctable whatzit that rises up inside you (if you're male) during puberty, insinuates itself into your psyche like a menacing twin, tries to take you over or at least wrestle you down into the blood and muck. Call it: The zombie in the pudding. Out of the sweetness of youth it comes. And just keeps coming. And it wants to eat your brain...
John, I've been following CFFB for a nearly a month now and like the variety, the rest day mid week and mixed up work outs. I have increased in strength and put on a small amount of weight, & according to my good lady wife I also look better naked too!...
John, many thanks for the awesome program! I know that you would of course include them if you thought they were necessary, but I'll ask anyway. If you were to include curls or other direct arm work, what would be the optimal way to do so? Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience with us...
I received one recently, asking if I thought constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity was a solid programming philosophy. Yes, without a doubt...
I am not sure how many of your read the NY Times or are fans of Gary Taubes, author of Good Calories, Bad Calories, but recently Taubes did a review of Robert Lustig’s lecture on sugar, called “Sugar: The Bitter Truth.” The 90-minute lecture discusses the effects of sugar, high fructose corn syrup and epidemic of obesity plaguing us today...
