 The Ultimate Experience
by Alea Hunter
In the life of an avid mixed martial arts fan, little is more exhilarating than watching a live Ultimate Fighting Championship in the company of fellow MMA fans. For over a year, some of the members at ironlife.com have dreamt of meeting up in Las Vegas to watch a live UFC together. That dream came true on Saturday, February 5, 2005 at UFC 51. Ironlife members traveled from France, New Jersey, California, and Louisiana to attend the UFC, and it truly was the ultimate experience. ... [read more]

|  Training
Lack of training can make you go crazy. Its one of those things you don’t fully appreciate till the madness sets in. It’s very easy to have excuses as why not to train. Take me for example. I just spent two years with the same coach, training as hard as I could. ... [read more] |

 IronLife Up & Coming Star of the Month - Big Willy
by Sachet
You can’t help but to like BigWilly once you’ve talked to him a few times.. he's just that right combination of naughty and nice. And although you don't get a peek at his true humorous side in this interview, let it be known he loves a good joke. He's also one of those guys you admire because his actions speak louder than words. In fact, after seeing him you would expect that his confidence would come across more as bragging or being arrogant. Nope, he doesn't come across that way at all.. he comes across more on the humble side. His hearts in the right place and you end up admiring him for the ease in which he makes working out just another part of the day. It's that nonchalant attitude that gets many inspired to start themselves. Trust me, this guy does some heavy duty workouts! ... [read more]

|  Levels of Intensity
As most readers know I advocate low volume, high intensity style training as being the best method to go about gaining strength and size. I get a lot of questions about just how hard one should train and what high intensity methods are most suitable so I figured it was time to discuss just what “high intensity” means ... [read more] |
 Juggernaut Training
