It was all about out working the competition and doing what was necessary to get better!!

500lb Box Squat

These guys would come in 3 – 4 x week on top of their off-season training at school and track practice and still work their butts off.

We had 10th graders crushing numbers in lifts that most college athletes still can’t hit.  Guys box squatting over 405 or benching over 300 all while sitting under 200lbs.  These guys are jumping 35-37″ in the vert and banging out 20+ dead hang chin-ups, while all their friends are screwing around at their school weight room thinking they are working out but not getting any better.

57″ Hurdle Jump

Now that Spring Ball is here will they stop training like everyone else?  Of course not.  They are still coming in 2 – 3 x week to make sure they continue to get better, stay healthy, and continue to improve.

These are the types of athletes we work with at Genesis.  Only the most dedicated and hardest working athletes who truly want to succeed.

They know that spending an hour 3 x week training while everyone else is on Facebook, sleeping, or playing video games is what is going to set them apart and give them the best opportunity to start, make all-district or better, and get that college scholarship.

Do you have what it takes to take your game to the next level?  If so then Genesis is where you need to be training.  Don’t do what everyone else is doing this summer or you will continue to be just as good as everyone else.

We only have a few spots open and unlike other programs around, won’t be running summer only speed/agility camps.  We expect our athletes to be dedicated and stay with us for months and years so they continue to get better and dominate everytime they step on the field.

If you think you have the dedication and drive to succeed and become the best, then contact us today to schedule your FREE consultation to see if you would be a good fit for the program.

Unfortunately most basketball players and coaches think this and in turn it hurts their game and their chances of making it to the next level.

They not only depend on their pure athleticism to get them through the season, but most end up injured and beat up because of all the muscle imbalances and weaknesses they have.

Strength can and will make you a better basketball player.

This summer and fall we only had 3 basketball players train with us.

Turns out those 3 all ended up receiving All-District Honors for this past season.

3 for 3 isn’t bad, and would make for an awesome Field Goal Percentage.

These athletes worked harder than the rest of their competition and because of that they were rewarded.

A big congratulations goes to:
Jenny Nash – Cy-Woods – 1st Team Girls All-District Basketball Team

Audrey Garcia – Cy-Woods – 1st Team Girls All-District Basketball Team

Matt “Hooch” Hochstrasser – Cy-Falls – Honorable Mention Boys All-District Basketball Team

All 3 of these athletes put in the extra work and got stronger because they wanted to make sure they got the most out of the season.

There are only a few spots left before Genesis stops taking athletes and you get placed on a wait list. Why? Because we want to make sure every athlete gets the individual attention they need to make them the best.

We cap enrollment at 50 athletes and as of now only have 4-5 more spots available depending on the athletes who are “doers” and took action to schedule their FREE Consultation this week.

If you want to make sure you get in and see if you are a good fit for the program before it fills up, then you need to contact us TODAY at (832) 380-5436 or click HERE to get set up!!

For Most That Might Seem True…

But For You?  That Is B.S.

Do you miss the training, competition, feeling of accomplishment, and bonding with your teammates through blood, sweat, and tears?

Have you been searching for all of the above? Do you still have that drive and toughness to push yourself, outwork, outlast, and be more successful in your training and life than everyone else your age (and younger)? If the answers are YES, then Genesis has finally opened its doors for you.

I get asked multiple times a day if I train adults or work with non-athletes and the answer hasn’t always been just a no, but a HELL NO!!!

Why?  Because I don’t like training the normal adult population or client who doesn’t have the desire to achieve something more than lose 10lbs or become a little leaner before swimsuit season.

I don’t work with athletes who are whiners, cry babies, or are not motivated to do something great, so why waste my time with adults who are that way?

But If You Are Truly Serious About Your Training Then Keep Reading…

There is now program specifically for you… Project: G

Project: G is an elite training program open to any adult who still has that competitive drive and desire to be the best inside of them.

These won’t be your typical workouts as you aren’t a typical person…

If you think this program MIGHT be for you, then it isn’t…

Tire Kickers, Slackers, Procrastinators will not be accepted into this program!!

Project: G is only for those who know exactly what they want both in their training and life and just lack the proper environment to achieve it.

There is an even stricter application process to be accepted into Project: G than we use with our athletes.

Why?  Because younger athletes can still be shaped, taught, and shown exactly what hard work is and why it is required to be successful.

With adults that isn’t true.  The saying “You Can’t Teach an Old Dog New Tricks”, applies here.

If You Know Project: G is for YOU and are Ready to Step Up and Get The Most Out of Your Body, Mind, and Life, Then Click Here to Fill Out The Application – Project: G

Hope To See You On The Other Side,

The weather was horrible and the event was thinking about being canceled, but since over 750 athletes showed up to be tested, they ran it in the freezing cold, wind, and rain.

While I’m not a big believer in combines and prefer to train athletes to get better on the field which in turn makes them better in their drills, it is worth mentioning that 2 Genesis Athletes put a show and ended up receiving the 17th and 19th highest SPARQ ratings at the combine.

Bryce Peters (17th) and Jacorey Warrick (19th), not only beat out over 750 athletes that attended overall, but for underclassmen, they ranked 3rd and 4th.

The best part about their rankings and results?  They haven’t done one single “speed” drill, danced through any type of “speed ladder”, or run around cones like at other sports performance facilities.

So how did they dominate without all the “in” stuff that makes you faster?  By getting stronger and more explosive.

The number one way and simplest way to get faster is to get stronger. You run faster by improving the amount of force to which you can apply to the ground.

If you hit the ground like a 6 year old girl, it doesn’t matter how fast your feet move.  YOU AREN’T GOING ANYWHERE!!

These guys have been squatting, flipping tires, deadlifting, pushing prowlers, doing the types of exercises and training that produces results.

So you can take your silly ladders, cones, and agility drills, and we will take our weights, prowlers, tires, and boxes and see you on the field.

Here are just a few pics of Jacorey and Bryce on the football field and in the facility.  These guys are only in 10th grade and will definitely be beasts!!

Congrats to Both Athletes for Taking Honorable Mention and Ranking so High at the 2011 Nike Sparq Combine

Unfortunately not everyone thinks training during baseball season is good for the athlete, but they couldn’t be further from the truth.

Doing This Over and Over With No Attempt to Balance It Out is Definitely a Great Idea…

Let’s try to put it another way that hopefully makes more sense for these athletes/coaches/parents who are afraid of strength training during the season.

I want you for the next 4-6 months to take one 5lb dumbbell and every day perform arm circles swinging it around 100-200 times.  Then take that same dumbbell and with both hands swing it across your body (left -> right, or vice versa) 100-200 times every day.  For the entire time period, you can’t use the other arm, or swing the dumbbell in the other direction.

Imagine how imbalanced your body is going to become and all the injuries that can occur from this type of training.  Unfortunately this is what happens to every baseball athlete who doesn’t perform some type of correct strength training during the season and spends all their time concentrating on throwing and hitting.

These Types of Imbalances Occur All the Time In Baseball

This leads to all sorts of elbow and shoulder injuries, as well as injured backs and weaknesses as the season progresses.

Having an athlete train 1-2x a week correctly during the season is going to minimize the risk of all those types of injuries, as well as keep the strong, fast, and explosive the entire season.

Imagine being just as fresh, healthy, strong, and powerful in the last game of the season as you were during the first, and how much of an advantage you have over everyone else who isn’t that way.

Training in-season is necessary in order to become the best athlete possible, but unfortunately the ones who do attempt it always do it incorrectly.  I have seen baseball players perform an in-season program by bench pressing, curling, and performing even worse exercises that only cause risk to the athlete even further.  You have to do it correctly and under the supervision of a qualified coach who knows your body and your strengths/weaknesses.  Because we never have more than 60 athletes enrolled at one time, and never allow more than 6 in a group that is exactly what you get at Genesis.  We know and talk to every athlete that walks in our door to train to make sure we are doing exactly what they need to stay healthy, strong, powerful, and get better.

If you want to get the most out of this baseball season, it isn’t too late.  Don’t wait until the next off-season to start training.  Get a head start on the competition and finish the season healthier, faster, and more explosive than any of your teammates and opponents.

This was everyone’s first strongman competition, but it didn’t stop them from dominating.  These guys were competing against people who train specifically for these types of competitions and travel across the nation.

This is what being an athlete and a champion is all about.  Succeeding no matter what type of situation athletically or in life you are put in.

Huge Congrats to these athlete’s and coaches who placed:

1st Place Teen Division – Bryce Peters

2nd Place Teen Division – Jared Gansert

2nd Place Police/Military/Fire Division – Connor Galneau

Tied for 2nd Place Lightweight Open Division – David Claiborne

And a Big Thanks to Nate Green and Alex Rendon for coming out to support the athletes on a Saturday morning.

Here is a video of some of the events that took place:

If you want to take your game to the next level and truly become a better athlete, then you need to stop worrying about correct running form, running around cones, and dancing through speed ladders, and train to become powerful, strong, and explosive.

If you are committed to becoming the best then Genesis is where you belong.  The word is getting out and spots are filling up quickly!!  We only allow 60 athletes into the program at one time to make sure each one gets exactly what they need to become the best, and there are only a few spots available.

Be sure to contact us (832) 380-5436 or click below to get scheduled for your FREE Consultation and Interview to see if you would be a good fit for the program.

To apply for our program you must read this page and understand the type of requirements and expectations we want from every athlete.

If you feel that you are a good fit for our program, contact us to get your FREE Trial/Consultation scheduled.  Not all applicants are accepted into the program.

I haven’t been at the facility this past week because I’ve been up in New Jersey working with some of the best strength coaches in the nation to make sure that you are getting the most of your program at Genesis.

Sorry… I Only Worked With Real Coaches & Trainers. No Situation Here

I have 3 words… “It Is Cold”

What I Have Woken Up To Everyday This Week

I’ve braved the 6-8 degree weather to make sure that I’m learning the newest ways out there to not only keep the Genesis athletes on top of their game and dominating, but also healthy.

What coaches and locations did I train and workout at?

Underground Strength Gym – Edison New Jersey – Zach Even-Esh

DeFranco’s Training Systems – Wyckoff, New Jersey – Joe DeFranco & Mike Guadango

This month at Genesis is going to be intense.  With the knowledge I’m rolling back into town with is definitely going to give my athletes a step ahead of all their competition, and I would hate for you to miss out.

We have a few spots still open and normally this is about the time baseball coaches and parents make the horrible mistake of actually stopping their athlete from training, but not at Genesis.  We only work with the parents, athletes, and coaches who get it and because of that we haven’t had one athlete put his training on hold because the season is here.

If you think you have the drive and dedication to become a champion and dominate the competition, then you need to call us today at (832) 380-5436 to set up your free trial before all our spots are filled.

Don’t wait and get pass by.  Contact us today before are spots are full and you get stuck on the waiting list.

In Strength (and Warmth),

P.S. – Can’t wait to see all my athletes this Friday!!

What did our athletes get for Christmas?

• Faster
• Stronger
• Tougher
• More Conditioned
• Another Step Up On The Competition

How did they get all these things?  Keep reading…

Most athletes I talked to outside of Genesis, spent their holiday working out their thumbs on the newest video game, sleeping, and just laying around…

These are the athletes that we don’t want training at Genesis.

Who do we want in our facility?

How about the 4 college athletes who were back in town for a month and instead of doing nothing, were at the facility on a daily basis either getting ready to go into football off-season ahead of everyone else, or get a jump start on their baseball training.

How about the 30 high school and junior high athletes who despite going on trips, having family in town, or using any of the other excuses your normal athlete will come up to get out of hard work, came in and busted it at least 3 days a week to make sure they stay ahead of their competition and teammates, and don’t take a step back.

If you think you are ready to truly take your game to the next level and are dedicated about getting better, then you must contact us today to schedule your free trial and consultation.  We only accept 50 athletes at a time, and spots are filling up fast.  So contact us here or call us at (832) 380-5436 to make sure that you get the most out of 2011.

Check out just a few pictures of our athletes training over the holidays.

Here are two brief testimonials from 2 of our college athletes who came back in town to make sure they get that extra edge on their competition.

Genesis Athletic Performance is a private athlete training facility.  Not all athletes who do the trial are accepted, as we only want the most serious and dedicated.

But if you are accepted, be prepared for huge changes physically, athletically, and mentally.  You will start dominating the opposition and turn into that leader all your teammates depend on.

PS: To schedule a FREE trial, call us at (832) 380-5436 or contact us here.

We want athletes who are leaders, willing to go above and beyond where others do not want to go.

We’re not for everyone, for most athletes it’s too much of a commitment and too hard.

But if you are part of that top 5% who want to become the best and are willing to whatever it takes Genesis is where you belong.

The easiest way to increase your speed is to get stronger… Period.

Far to often to athletes and parents get caught up in the gimmicks of “speed training”, and forget what actually makes someone not just faster, but also a better athlete.  That is strength and power.

Athletes and parents come to me all the time asking if I can make them faster, but then turning around and saying that they aren’t allowed to squat because of a lower back weakness or knee problem.

If you continue to baby a weak area, how is it ever going to get stronger and healthier?  If you have a weak lower back, then no matter how “fast” you become, you aren’t going to go anywhere.

You have to lift hard, heavy, correct, and powerful.  If you do this and concentrate on your entire backside (calves, hamstrings, glutes, lower back, and upper back), then you will get faster.

Chains On a 45 Degree Hyper = Ultimate Speed Builder

Far too often to people only train what they can see and this causes all sorts of muscle imbalances, injuries, weaknesses, and problems.

You give the body a good hard dose of posterior chain training using the correct exercises, techniques, and methods, you automatically become faster… and not just faster on a straight away like other speed schools teach.

You start exploding in and out of cuts, accelerate faster, run through and around people, change of direction, and dominate no matter what situation you are in during the game.

BUT If you continue to train how everyone else trains then all you can get prepared for, is injuries, muscle imbalances, never getting better, and never reaching your true potential.

If you are ready to unleash that inner beast, then you MUST call us today at (832) 380-5436 or click here for your free consultation and trial to see if you qualify to train at Genesis.

If I didn’t have the money, but was serious about my off-season training, I definitely know what I would be asking for for Christmas…

Check out these pics of some of our athletes cranking out some posterior chain work and lifting heavy.

P.S. We only want the most dedicated and serious athletes.  The trial isn’t to see if you like the program, it is to see how hard you want to work to become the best and if you are a good fit for the program. Call us today to get scheduled before the last remaining off-season spots fill up.

Here’s the number again =======> (832) 380-5436

Above – FAST & STRONG – Funny How They Go Hand in Hand!

Since football off-season is now here, we constantly get calls with the same question over and over again, so lets set the record straight.

You want speed training? You want to actually get faster and more powerfull?

The actual TRUTH about getting fast, agile, and still have the power to run through any opponent like semi-truck?

You think real speed training has anything to do with using “agility” ladders, strength shoes, stretchy bands, or parachutes?

What about first step quickness? Parents ask all the time about first step quickness when their kid barely has any muscle, is soft, and can barely perform a correct squat with his own bodyweight…

Compare the two pictures above.  Both are NFL Offensive Linemen… Which do you think has the better “first step quickness”?  Not the fat dough boy thats for sure.

Do the athletes that worry about speed and “first step quickness actually need all these fancy worthless training methods? NO. They need MORE muscle, less body fat, and once that is acehived they automatically become more explosive. Their strength and power translate into force production through his legs into the ground, which is the #1 KEY to speed. If you’re FAT and/or WEAK sorry, don’t ask or talk to us abut first step quickness.
Have you forgotten what makes an athlete FAST? Do you KNOW what is the MAIN contributor to speed?

Or, perhaps you’ve read too many magazines and watched too much ESPN and you’ve been brain washed into thinking that fads and gimmicks will help make you a faster athlete.
Have you ever seen a weak athlete who is FAST?

Or……

Do you notice that the FAST, AGILE, and POWERFULL athletes are nearly always built like a brick house?

Above, Agile, Mobile & Hostile. Strong as Hell to Boot!

At Genesis, we get RESULTS. No flashy equipment, or futuristic machine that guarantees speed.  We don’t conform to the “speed schools” who have the fancy cones and ladders to run through. Instead, we develop brutally strong, explosive, quick, and confident athletes that excel no matter what situation they are faced with on the field.

Everything we do is focused on making you faster and more explosive. So if you’re asking if we do “speed training”, the answers is “You Are Damn Straight We Do!!”

But don’t ask us about ladders, gimmicks and fads. We’re not here to use the industry buzz words to get you to sign up or show off fancy $10,000 machines that do nothing.  We create beastly, successfull athletes through by getting exceptional results that comes the “old fashioned” way, through gut busting effort and lots of sweat.

Are you ready to earn your speed?

PS: If you like running through cones, or dancing down a ladder, then go elsewhere.

If you want to become an absolute wrecking machine that leaves a wake of destruction everything you step onto the field then call us for your FREE Trial & Consultation.  Not every athlete is accepted and there are only a few spots remaining for this off season…
