Podcast: Marty McFly, Doc Brown, The DeLorean, And How YOU Can Use It To Make Gains
The Back To The Future trilogy is a pure classic. In my opinion, it’s the greatest classic ever assembled.

Kryptonite
I’ve always wanted to be Superman. Not necessarily in the “I want to look like a superhero” sense, but in the sense that I try to be all things to all people. Forever, I’ve had an issue with wanting to “fit in”. Truth be told, I suffer from “imposter syndrome”. I feel insecure and inadequate […]
Podcast: The Dumbest Fitness Mistakes I’ve Made
We all make mistakes in the name of fitness. I am not immune to this. Not even close. In my quest for physical improvement, I’ve made some of the dumbest mistakes there are.

Podcast: Life Lessons From Working The Worst Job Ever
When I was in college, I had the world’s worst job: I worked retail at an Old Navy. Although this wasn’t my first job ever, it was the first time I was forced into a working situation. I was 20 years old, my college scholarship had just disappeared, and I couldn’t ask my Dad for […]

How To “Give Zero F–ks”
We hear all the time that we should “give zero f–ks” about what others think. That advice is so trite and commonplace, it makes me cringe when I see it dispersed. Hell, I even do the same thing from time to time with our online clients. Sometimes, people come to us and they already lift […]
The Summer That May Not Have Been
When I was 20 years old, I got kicked off the baseball team at my University. I had a scholarship at the time, but athletic scholarships were renewable year-to-year based on performance. If you weren’t performing, you weren’t playing. I wasn’t performing. Coach gave me the axe. I will always remember walking out of his […]
“Most People”
The evidence based fitness industry isn’t helping “most people”. We’re helping lots of people, but not “most people”. I’m not helping “most people”. I actually AM “most people”, so that does give me a bit of an advantage. I have a beat on how “most people” think. I’m always pondering how I’m going to expand […]
Finding Your Why
Why do we do the things that we do? As humans, what is our purpose for making the decisions that we make? Are our decisions a function of our current environment? Are our decisions a reflection of our lives’ direction? Do we determine our decisions, or are our decisions pre-determined? Why is there such a […]
