Too many people are certification sluts.
They’re frequently seen on the seminar circuit. Have a heap of unfinished online courses. And just bank up certificates to frame and hang on their wall.
Now, doing lots of continuing education is, in our opinion, a really good thing....
You know, this technique debate is a funny thing.
On one side there are people who say that technique is the most important thing in strength training; then the other side is people who disagree, say it doesn’t matter at all, and think that the people who say it’s important are all...
Sets, reps, exercises, tempo, rest…all variables we discuss when talking about periodizing training. We can also have long chats about rotating various pieces of equipment, and exercises as well.
Angles, barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, specialty bars, the selections can be endless....
Happy New Year everyone!
If you’re like me, your discipline wavered for a bit at the end of 2021. Hey, it’s the holidays, we’ve had a rough two years and we deserve to let loose a bit!
Maybe you also took it a bit too far; I know I certainly did, and it’s time...
So you want to finally knuckle down and get a gnarly set of abs?
Hey, it’s 2022 and this is YOUR year to finally do it! Or maybe you’ve fallen off track the past two years and want to get back into epic shape, and you want to do it quickly.

This is going to be a bit of a trip down memory lane and involve some stories so if you just want straight science and results, sorry but this one is a bit deeper.
“To look at any food as “cheating” takes the joy out of life. It also tends...

Building muscle while burning fat. Muscle GAINZ while in a deficit.
The holy grail.
Sounds impossible, doesn’t it? In fact, we’ve been told that it’s impossible for decades. What if I told you that it’s in fact NOT impossible and that current research backs it...
“OH SHIT”
I knew I’d really done it this time.
I’d finally hurt myself in an awful way. Over 34 years of lifting and training and I finally did it. I hurt myself in a way that I knew wouldn’t be easy to fix.
You see, I had been working around a niggling...
