This time of the year you basically have two types of people. group A: has New Years resolutions group B : does not/ makes fun of them PersonallyI think starting something new on the 1st of January makes as much or as little sense as the 12th of October, so why not. It is the […]
A client asked me: “Why do you call me a beginner? I have been lifting for four years now.” That made me realize a fundamental issue with training: we are too focused on all the external stimuli such as time in the gym, sets, weights, etc., when in reality, none of this matters. If I have […]

So I will attempt to clear out the biggest misconceptions 1. Calories matter most. Period. Stop looking for some magic portal be it intermittent fasting, […]
Some things I wish I could get across to more people 1. Stop with the ego lifting. As I get older I see so many guys my age who can hardly bend over. Injuries are not fun, interesting, or a badge of honor. They are limiting, painful, frustrating, and crippling! High school is over, nobody […]
Since I visited home home, I did have time to reminisce on how my bodybuilding “career” started.
