I often hear people debating “When is the best time to workout? Morning, noon, or night?” It’s really not that scientific, just lift bro. Just get it in, be consistent, and the rest will take care of itself. Early birds don’t get bonus points for grinding early, and late nite cats (like myself) also don’t get points for grinding late. …
One of the most interesting, yet not fully understood or written about topics in the world of fitness and bodybuilding is “how to prep for a photoshoot” or bodybuilding contest. If you’re reading this right now I bet you are fairly familiar with the concept of “peak week”… …but most of the information you found online is probably either super sketchy …
If you’re a regular reader of this blog you’ll know how serious I am about gut health. Part of that emphasis is due to that fact that I have been living with Crohn’s Disease for just around 15 years now… …which has made me have to really step up my gut health knowledge and focus. Crohn’s Disease really sucks…but I think it …
2002 Clemson Tennis post-workout on “Muscle Beach” behind Jervey Athletic Center I know looks can be a little deceiving so let me give a little bit of background: This pic was taken a little over a year after I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease and was still working my way back into playing shape after losing about 40 pounds and …
You dedicate your life to it… Spend thousands of hours training for it… Sacrifice friends and fun to study and research about it… Lay awake for hours at night thinking about it… GAINS. You want em, you need em, you just gotta have em. You do all the right things…train hard, eat right, get enough sleep. But what if all …
This post is dedicated to all of the true athletes out there… …and since I believe all of us are true athletes at our core, this post is actually dedicated to everyone out there who seeks to improve their health, fitness, and/or athletic performance. And since you’re here reading this today, I know you’re a serious athlete. I know you’re a …
Before we get started I just want to point out that there is no official “cure” for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s Disease & Ulcerative Colitis), or any other autoimmune disease for that matter, at least not in the context of science as we currently understand it. Even when you heal, your body will always retain the ability to attack itself. …
This past weekend I had the honor of speaking about how to build a business at the Fall FMI Conference. (If you aren’t familiar with FMI, it is a training resource for fitness and sports professionals that offers them career and personal development education.) This was my first ever invitation to speak at FMI, and let me just tell …
There’s a big misconception out there that if you work in an office (aka sit on your ass from 9-5 or later)…you’re lazy and unmotivated if you’re “too tired to train” either before or after work. This assumption is 100% FALSE. Having worked in several corporate environments myself, and sat in tons of super boring, all-day meetings in uncomfortable clothes, …
Success in life doesn’t just “happen”. You make choices and you perform certain actions, which in turn, give you various outcomes based on those choices and actions. You choose to eat healthier. You choose to go to the gym. You choose to stay faithful to your partner. You choose happiness. You choose success – and YOU choose failure. It’s all …
