Strong 101 Gym, building DOMINANT Athletes daily! !!!
We pride ourselves on putting out the best programs for our athletes, and providing great Coaching at all times.
Check out what Lucas Duda of the New York Mets had to say about his experience over the last 4 off-seasons with us... "I've been training at Strong 101 with Mike Rojas throughout parts of 4 off-seasons. I've felt huge improvements in overall strength, explosiveness, and body control. Mikes combination of motivation and knowledge will bring you to the next level in athletics or overall health." What an honor to help our athlete go from the Minor Leagues to realizing his dreams of playing in the Majors...Congrats brotha!
Here is Luke in todays game against the Colorado Rockies. By the way he's leading the Mets in Homeruns.

You still have time...

Great news...you still have time!

What do I mean by time? Well, it's exactly 20 weeks til July 1st, which means that all of you guys out there that want to put on some weight before next football season still have time.

You see, at our gym we tell our athletes 1 pound a week. We want them to eat enough calories that pack on a whole pound each and every week. It's that simple.

I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but in 20 weeks if you do this you will be 20 pounds heavier, hopefully it's mostly new muscle (hahaha). But, it's just that easy, eat more to get Big.

If you apply this to each and every meal throughout the day, you can reach your goals and become a Dominant player on the field.

The #1 Thing Your Strength Coach Is NOT DOING Right!

If you train at any other facility than Strong 101 Gym, you run the risk of injury!

How can I say this?

Why do I say this?

At our facility TECHNIQUE is the first and only thing that matters... We care about the health and safety of each Athlete, above anything else.

There is no way we would want one of our clients to go home after a training session being injured in anyway. You are with us to get Agile, Mobile and Hostile...the best way we can insure this is to concentrate on Form First.

This is what separates us from all the other "sports gyms" around. We will not accept bad form, or less than 100% effort from each individual.

When technique is placed in the forefront of any exercise, the movement becomes the focus not the amount of weight being used. This is a very important point, weight is the third most important part of the equation in any exercise.

Watch this video of a Junior College level Hang Clean (250 lbs)being performed...


Now watch how it should be done (440 lbs)...


With all things being equal, TECHNIQUE will prevail. To learn more about What, How and Why we get the results we acheive with our Athletes...call 951 346-6900 or e-mail us at Strong_101@yahoo.com

Football is almost here...



Finally....the NFL Lockout is almost over, Colleges are in full swing and High Schools are getting ready to play some FOOTBALL!

It has been a geat Pre-Season at our facility, with a lot of returning Studs packing on Muscle, becoming more Explosive and getting their CORE strong. Now our attention is focused on maintaining all the Athleticism and Strength we have been working on to build.

The best way to keep in peak shape is to...Keep Training! Yup, it's that simple. Don't stop doing what got you to where you are. That goes for all Athletes. If you trained hard to get ready for your sport, don't stop putting in the work that built you up.

We require our Athletes to come in a minimum of two times per week to help maintain all the progress we have acheived. A couple of full-body workouts will keep the strength and power up throughout the long season ahead. If you don't try and maintain through your season, problems may occur...such as injuries, diminished playing time and lack of strength / explosiveness.

Check out some college Beasts getting after some tough Pre-Season training...

Squat - Bench - Cleans Part.2



I went over why the old school programming doesn't cut it in regards to training Athletes any longer...
Any program that is inserted into any school, team or club must be led by a Coach that instills proper technique above all else! If this is not the main focus of the staff to have an athlete perform each movement with great form, then you're being put at risk of injury.

SAFETY FIRST!

I definitely want all my clients to walk out of the gym healthier and stronger than when they walked in to our facility. We have their best interests at all times. The risk vs reward is an issue in the design of each work-out / program we teach the Athletes.

If I teach or allow an athlete to not perform a movement correctly, then I will be setting them up for failure in future lifts and failure on the field of play. We use the lifts in the weightroom as a means to help make each athlete Bigger, Faster and Stronger. Which in turn will allow them to better perform their sport.

Lifting weights is a tool to prepare them for battle. It is not meant to replicate the sport in which they play.

Squats are a great exercise for developing the lower body and core. They also increase ones speed and help with injury prevention of the knee if done correctly. But if you can teach an athlete to put 400 lbs on his back and have them squat it correctly, they will definitely gain quickness and agility.



Bench Press is a great upper body mass builder, but it has nothing to do with throwing or catching a ball. Nor does it help you swing a bat at a 90 mph fastball. It does however improve a Linemans pushing power and it can also increase the stability of the front shoulders. There are many different exercises that can help an athletes pressing power, that doesn't have you laying on your back. There are a ton of different types of push-ups that will make you explosive and strong! Take a look...



Let's not forget about the ladies either. Check out some of the exercises we have them perform. They move and play just as hard as their male counter parts, so we have them move weights just like them as well.



I am always trying to learn on how to improve on my coaching style and also how to create the best programs in order to help my Athletes acheive maximum results. Recently I was able to watch some great work being done at a local gym near my house. Please watch this video of my good friend and mentor Sean Waxman, Owner and Head Olympic Lifitng Coach at Waxman's Gym. His athletes acheive some amazing results through his diligence and knowledge.
