Should You Do A “Rapid Fat Loss” Protocol?
This year, I took the week of Christmas off of lifting and macro counting. I had a good reason: I was recovering from a vasectomy.

5 Ways To Waste Your Money
This list will likely change over time. Being 34 is different from being 18. When I was 18, things like “laundry detergent” and “food” were huge wastes of money.
