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.

How I Cured My Crohn’s Disease
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. …
The Relentless Pursuit of Failure
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.)

Busy Man Workouts
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, …

Powertec Interview
In case you’ve never heard of Powertec (aka the world’s best plate loaded home gyms), they are, in my humble opinion, one of the top fitness companies out there. I’m not just saying that because I’m associated with the company – I’m saying it because I truly believe it. From the ownership to management, to the creative & media team, …

Factory Farming – A New Disease Model
Disclaimer: This is one of my longer posts, but I believe this is probably the most important blog post I’ve ever written. The information discussed could directly impact yours as well as your family’s health for years to come. So please, read and study it carefully! There aren’t very many things that irritate me, and I’m not really a political …
Committed Failure
Seems like all everyone wants these days is a cutting edge training program, a sophisticated diet plan, delicious recipes that burn fat & build muscle, and exotic supplements that do all the work for you. And everywhere you turn these you see more and more products, programs, and supplements hyping people up to believe they can build the body of …
