Shameless plug for this article the Chicago Tribune did on our son Ethan for his senior wrestling season!

Libertyville’s Ethan Trowbridge continues to compete in the face of both physical and mental challenges.

The obligatory b***y shot pose for the 'Gram after the final workout of this round of Project Peach 🍑, our long-running glute training specialty camp.

For the final workout, coach was a good enough sport to join in on doing the workout with the rest of the group, and stepped in to run the session. Ken thought he would be allowed to pick his own weights.

Spoiler alert: he was not.

Lots of trash talking. A good bit of swearing. Probably some interesting attempts to get down to and up from the toilet now that we're almost 24 hours later 💀

We wanted to do something different instead of the usual generic January sales post. From now until January 20, the proceeds from all ebook sales on the AST website (www.AllStrengthTraining.com/store) will go directly to .

Second City is where we adopted an unbelievably special dog, Victor, in 2021. Victor was, at the time, a 7-month old tripod with a heart condition that had a very low survival rate past 3 years old. When we first put in our application, there were nearly half a dozen other applicants in front of us, so we didn't think we had much of a chance. But somehow or another, we ended up getting a call from Second City that he was still adoptable, and before you know it he had found his way into our home to form "The Trio" with our other pits, Mabel and Knox.

Unfortunately, Victor's heart condition ultimately won out and we lost him on Christmas Day, 2023. But we are beyond grateful for the time that we did get with him, and want to pay that forward by supporting the shelter that he came from.

In addition to all proceeds from our ebook sales benefitting Second City, we wanted to also provide a thank you to those of you who support your local shelters and animal rescues - if you have adopted from a shelter in the last 12 months, simply send us a direct message with info about your pet (their name, the shelter they came from, and, if you'd be so kind, maybe a photo or 20?), and we'll send you a custom discount code that will let you download all 6 of our ebooks at no cost to you. It doesn't matter if it's a dog, a cat, or any other animal.

We know that there are many shelters out there that are deserving of your support and too many animals without a home, so we'd like to do what we can to extend our thanks for supporting your local rescue and opening up your home to an animal in need.

And if you're currently considering adopting a dog, we invite you to visit - they have some amazing pups just waiting to come home with you!

Rumor has it one of our members is convinced that our superhero holiday display on the front desk represents each of the coaching team, and it has caused much debate about which superhero represents which coach.

So, who is who?
