Doug Holland, a.k.a. “The Sickness”, was kind enough to share these videos of his awesome training facility: Intelligent Exercise in Shreveport, Louisiana.
The first video features a tour of Doug’s facility, with some cool background music. Believe me, he’s got some SICK equipment in there, and plenty of it.
The second video shows Doug himself going through a High Intensity workout in classic style–slow, controlled reps to failure, moving quickly between sets, etc. (Note: check out the attachment Doug has on his leg press to provide continuous tension and avoid letting his muscles rest in the lockout position-excellent Doug!)
The third video is really a sight to see. This one features Doug, a former competitive powerlifter, performing his special once-a-month deadlift routine with over double his bodyweight! And that’s not all–he performs the first several reps standing on a block to make it harder; then when no more reps are possible, removes the blocks and continues! The workout is so intense, the guy on the wall behind him couldn’t bear to watch and had to turn away. Finally, when all that’s over, you will see Doug utilizing proper post-workout recovery nutrition techniques by consuming a special high-carb beverage immediately after his workout. Nicely done Doug!!!
Check out all 3 videos below, the leave a comment for Doug!

This is great!I lived down the street from Doug in the early 1980’s while attending Louisiana Tech,and had the privilege of working out in his (then) primitive gym.I was four feet away from some of his most insane workouts,and now I see that he’s still got it.What a guy!!
I’m going to visit him in a few weeks.
I’m scared.
Loved the intensity, you are one tough dude. Please be careful about deadlifting off a platform. Very difficult to keep a hollow in lower back which is essential for good form and very easy to round lower back and get injured.
The dude pops a beer at the end of his deadlift set. That is a thing of beauty!
