Short Workouts Tip #3

By admin | Published: March 5, 2010

Even a good part of your conditioning should take very little time. When you have more time, train more but don’t think that limited time can’t be very productive. If you’re reading this site you’ve probably heard what I’ve been doing in training the kettlebell swing in the last year or so. [...]

My Typical Diet

By admin | Published: February 16, 2010

Many nutrition philosophies tend to go all or nothing and vilify certain foods. It’s a mistake. Low carb says all carbs are bad. Low fat says all fat is bad. Many diet people say pizza or a cheese burger is the Devil. I don’t believe any particular food is bad [...]

Nutrition Specifics

By admin | Published: February 15, 2010

I gave last week’s general rant on nutrition because I felt like it would be necessary as background to begin to understand why I do the specific things I do with food. Here is more on my actual personal specifics with some of why I do them. I eat when I’m hungry not by a [...]

Not Resolutions…But Resoluteness Part 2

By admin | Published: January 26, 2010

Lets continue with some thoughts on overcoming the “resolution trap.” The second big problem in most people’s New Year’s Resolutions is that they are drastic. Most skip any sense of building up to a big goal and seek to climb Mt. Everest the first day out. Most also require their walker to [...]

Perfect Body

By admin | Published: December 21, 2009

I don’t have a perfect body. As most of you know we’ve recently posted some pics of my 100lb weight loss. Just some basic before and after stuff. Almost all the feed back has been overwhelmingly positive. (Thank you). As always there are a few people out there who are [...]

Grow Your Own

By admin | Published: November 23, 2009

Okay that probably sounds a little funny. That ain’t what I meant and shame on you for thinkin’ it. Put the smoke down. As you can see by the pic – I’m standing next to our little fall/winter garden. I’m talking about growing your own vegetables. If you’ve read some of [...]

The Usual Suspects – Part 3

By admin | Published: November 14, 2009

One more thought on this whole pattern thing – people have been asking me a lot lately (especially since seeing the pictures of me since losing 100lbs), “How did you do it?” When they ask that question what they really mean is, “What diet did you follow to make that work,” and they’re expecting a very [...]

Weight Loss

By admin | Published: November 11, 2009

Wow. You know sometimes when you’re focusing on performance you don’t really notice the difference in how you look. I’ve been a performance oriented guy all my life. I want to know what you or I can do and in fact I find it a little suspect for a guy to be over focusing [...]

Weighted Situps

By admin | Published: November 9, 2009

So by now you may have heard that I lost over 100 pounds. That’s pretty cool and the average person is into it. But strength people are going to be asking, “How much power did you lose? You spent all that time gaining muscle and getting strong and then you decide to lose [...]
