Iron Tamer David Whitley teaches Rocco The Turkish Get Up
Posted by: | CommentsI called David Whitley (yes the guy that bends nails and shit!) and told him I was coming down to Louisville to check out Bootcamp Bootcamp an event for Fitness Professionals who own bootcamp businesses to learn how to make more money. Part of that learning process is learning new ways to torture clients and bootcamp customers… and kettlebells are a great way to crush a client in short amount of time.
Now the reason I called David to tell him this is because I knew there would be a shitload of Kettlebells in Louisville and I really wanted to work on my Turkish Get Up. I felt that I just couldn’t get it down correctly and there is no one in the world that I trust more than David. There’s a lot of moving parts to the Turkish Get Up and if you don’t keep your body in the correct positioning you can bet on injury.
I wanted to record this whole process because I have seen so many different variations of the Turkish Get Up and wanted to know the way that David taught it because it seems the natural way to do it. Watch this video and have fun learning how I learned the Turkish Get Up from the one and only Iron Tamer… David Whitley.

Body by Jake Tower 200 – Is Jake making a coming back?
Posted by: | Comments
He’s been out of the spotlight for a while but Jake Steifeld, the Jake behind “Body by Jake” has come back to what he knows best…selling direct response fitness products! Many of us in the fitness industry have believed that Jake and his kind had disappeared because the public actually caught on to the bullshit that was being peddled.
I guess some of Jake’s handler’s thought it was enough time for the bullshit dust cloud to settle and most people would forget that they bought the piece of shit known as the “Hip and Thigh Sculptor” or “The Body by Jake… Cardio Cruiser” and sold it at a garage sale for five dollars… in the box “as new”.
Now Jake has recruited one tough “MoFo”, MMA fighter, Randy Couture to help sell his new “Body by Jake” Tower 200. The commercial say if you have a door you can get a great workout…I say if you have a door someone should through you out of the f@#kin’ thing if you buy this “Rack Full of Rubber Bands”. I don’t care how tough Randy Couture is… I know that he didn’t spend 5 seconds on the Tower 200. Whomever is behind this wanted you to know that there is a “steel frame” (because everything else that “Body by Jake sold you was made of plastic) and includes a drop down “Wall Chart” just to make sure you know how to perform all the exercises you won’t be doing on this apparatus.
I have to give it to the producers of this commercial…it is much slicker, way tougher and obviosly Jake is trying to go after the male fitness population. Good try Jake but … really…stop it!

Rocco Visits Dale Buchanan of Supreme Ultimate Fitness in Boca Raton
Posted by: | CommentsEvery couple of months I try to get down to Florida to play a little golf at one of my favorite golf courses and just relax. I’ll go by my friend Rick’s gelato place, Gelato at Collado’s and scarf down at least a half pint or so of gelato, throw down some espresso and take a walk to the beach to see how many ocean front mansions are in foreclosure. Sometimes I don’t think I can count that high…but I manage.
On my last trip I wasn’t able to get my fill of gelato, espresso and foreclosures so I checked out my friend and “branding” client, Dale Buchanan’s new place Supreme Ultimate Fitness in Boca Raton. I have to tell you, it kicks ass! I was very pleased to see what he had done with the information he had learned. It’s the only type of training facility of it’s kind that incorporates High Intensity Training (which I love), Kettlebells, Bodyweight, TRX Suspension Training coupled with an “Active Recovery” system that includes Tai Chi and other forms of active recovery. For those of you who don’t know what active recovery is, it is a way of cooling down the muscular system as well as other systems by moving them in a rhythmic flow.
Check out the video below to introduce yourself to Dale Buchanan…and when you’re down in Boca Raton, look him up…or go to his website at: http://supremeultimatefitness.com

Jazzercise-Move your Booty Body-1982
Posted by: | CommentsI couldn’t breath at the writing of this blog post because I was laughing so hard at this video. This video is from my Junior Year in High School. I remember Jazzercise as it became very popular in the ’80’s. It’s actually still pretty popular.
I’m really not sure how it survived the insanity displayed in the video below, but it has. I have to tell you this is awesome because never in my life have I ever heard or have seen someone sing the phrase “boom chukakaluka…boom chukakaluka” in a fitness video…ever! I just had to put this up because It’s Monday and I know that you need something to get you through the rest of the week…trust me, this will.
Warning: if you have bladder control problems…go put on your Depends…because you may possibly piss your pants anyway.
