NEW WEBSITE!
Add Jason Ferruggia Uncencored to your favorites!

Finding good training information on the net is hard to do; so I wanted to share this new website with my readers. For those of you who don’t know Jason Ferruggia, he is a friend & colleague of mine. His views on training are similar to what you would read on my website, but you will always learn something new and entertaining from Jason’s stuff. I have the utmost respect for Jason because he actually trains athletes for a living and he gets “real world” results. If you want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about training, check out Jason’s blog on a daily basis.

It’s what I read when I’m not reading www.defrancostraining.com!

Q: Coach Defranco,
In honor of the holiday season I thought I would send you in a fun question. It seems like this is the time of year when every TV & radio show has their top lists, i.e., the top 3 reality shows of the year, the top 10 songs of the year, the most exciting sporting event of the year, etc. So Coach Defranco, I ask you, what are your 3 most memorable questions that you have answered on your Q&A since you started this website?
Have a great holiday season and thanks for educating & entertaining us for all these years coach!!

A: Dan,
Great question! To be honest, I’m glad I didn’t get too many “thought-provoking” training questions this week. I’ve been working around the clock finishing my Super Strength DVD and now that it’s FINALLY done and ready to ship, I needed an easy week of questions. Your question was a fun one and it was cool to look back and take a trip down memory lane. So, without any further ado, here are my 3 most memorable questions!

#3 – Coach DeFranco is a cheater?

#2 - The infamous “not-so-silent Bob” accuses DeFranco’s athletes of being on steroids!

#1 - George DeFranco gets criticized for his hammer curl form!

Hope you enjoyed ‘em as much as I did answering them!

Q: Joe,
A week ago I read an article on elitefts entitled A Visit to DeFranco’s – that was some funny shit! Who is that guy and what would I have to do to come watch you train your athletes like he did? I live in Virginia but would take the drive in a second if you offer that opportunity.
Thanks and if you can’t get to my email, I understand you’re busy.

Ralph

A: Ralph,
I agree, that was one of the funniest, most well-written, clever articles I have ever read! (I should probably be ashamed of some of the things that he wrote, but I have pretty thick skin so I can take it!)

To make a long story short, the author of that article is a New York City bouncer who started a blog about 3 years ago. In his blog, he basically talks about the nightly nonsense that he has to endure as he works the door at 2 of New York City’s most popular clubs. Anyone who knows about NYC nightlife knows that the “nonsense” that I’m referring to are the guido’s, whores, wannabees and scumbags that frequent most “popular” NYC clubs.

Much to my delight, “The Doorman” mentioned my website in one of his blog entries in which he referred to the type of training he prefers. Knowing that he was “one of us”, I emailed him and after a couple of emails back and forth I invited him to come watch me train some pro athletes. (This is what motivated him to write the article about my facility.)

Another interesting fact about “The Doorman” is that his blog became so popular that HarperCollins signed him to a book deal which should hit the stands shortly after the holiday season. Support our own and check out his blog and look out for his upcoming book! It should contain some funny shit!

As far as visitors to our facility…you may want to read A Visit to DeFranco’s first to see if it’s something that would interest you. If anyone would ever like to visit our facility, email me at joe-d@defrancostraining.com. I will be honest and tell you that some times of the year are just too busy and we can’t accommodate guests; but for the most part we would welcome anyone with an open mind that is willing to learn about our system of training.

The Darkside continues to grow…
Joe D.

Our very own Super Strength DVD cover girl, Jenna Corrado, has been named as a Top 10 finalist for GUESS? FACES TO WATCH model search. This is just another example of why females should not be afraid to strength-train and push themselves in the weight room! Jenna has trained hardcore with us for over 3 years (box-squatting, benching, glute-ham raises, etc.) and I think you will agree that she hasn’t become too “masculine”! Please support her quest to become a new breed of model and take 30 seconds to vote for her HERE!
