Why Your Technique Should Be the Priority
Written by: Kevin Cann Ever since day 1 of working with Boris Sheiko, technique in the squat, bench press, and deadlift have been drilled into me. According to Boris, technique is the most important aspect to consider when lifting. We saw this in person when he trained a group of 5 of us. Out of… Continue Reading
Why Every Rep In Training Should Be the Same
Written By: Kevin Cann One of the things that has been ingrained into me since day 1 of my brief powerlifting career is that every rep should look the same. That means that when I squat with 50% of my 1RM it should be executed at the same speed as 100% of my 1RM. This… Continue Reading
Can’t We All Just Get Along? Our Strength Programs Are Not Very Different
Written By: Kevin Cann I was having a conversation with some of my co-workers, teammates, and training partners at Total Performance Sports last week.

Why Large Deficit Deadlifts are Great for Improving Mobility
Written by: Kevin Cann I chose to work with Boris Shieko as my coach for a couple of reasons. For one, he is the most decorated coach in the sport of powerlifting. Another reason is how different they do things in Russia compared to here in America. I wanted to step outside of my comfort… Continue Reading
30-Day Challenge Analysis Part 2: Abusing The System – How We Screw Up The Process & Ourselves
We’re human and let’s face it, we are REALLY good at f#%@-ing things up. It doesn’t matter what it is, someone, somewhere is going to figure out a way to make it a complete FAIL. 30-day challenges/transformations are no exception to this ‘fail phenomenon’. Yeah, we’ve figured out a way to take something that’s meant… Continue Reading
