Muscle size that is. Apologies for the click-bait title. At times you have to pull out all the stops to make a point. And that point is: contrary to what I’ve been hearing lately, building bigger muscles is a good thing. Now I still believe that guys should ultimately try to get (and stay) lean. When I work with a guy, especially someone over 30, I always try to get them lean first -- even if...

Welcome Back! Actually it was me that left. I just moved again. What an enormous shit sandwich that is. I’ve moved 5 times in the past 5 years and it never gets easier. Your once organized life becomes utter chaos; everything you need to function suddenly lost in a sea of cardboard boxes that look all too similar. You can’t find dishes or cutlery or coffee cups. You can’t even find clean...

 Information is cool. But execution is what matters. If losing fat were as simple as having access to information we’d all be ripped. Especially the dorks arguing on Facebook about when to start drinking their “peri-workout” drink. Instead, the average gym goer is, well, fat. Or skinny-fat. Or just plain physically shitty, with a cupboard full of lousy supplements and an ass like Donald Trump....

How do you exercise or “train” to lose bodyfat? Well, you’ve got options, Tiger. But first let’s back up a bit. In my first blog in this fat loss mini-series I covered “why” you should get lean. Specifically, how understanding and embracing “why” makes the whole fat loss process much easier. It’s an often-overlooked step, so if you haven’t read it please start there. Then I covered how to eat to...

With fat loss, the truth is out there. That’s an understatement. The truth is right in front of you. Always has been. Yet most people can’t see it. Or at least refuse to see it. And fewer still can stick with it. Hopefully that’s about to change. My last post described many of the obvious and not so obvious reasons to get lean. For those on the fence about dialing in, it was about discovering...

Every guy should try to get lean. Normally I avoid “shoulding” on people. It’s your body -- do whatever the hell you want with it. The last thing the world needs is some jag-off fitness blogger telling you how much bodyfat is acceptable. Although, if I may speak from experience: if you’re a dude and a lifter – and especially if you call yourself (gasp) a bodybuilder – you owe it to yourself to...

Another year in the books. Forty-two fucking years old. The big 4-2. The Jackie Robinson. At my party there were 42 candles on the cake. Enough to set off the smoke alarms. At first I thought it was a joke, but when none of the first responders were females in clear heels and plastic red fire helmets I knew it wasn’t going to be that kind of party. Oh well. I normally don’t do birthday blogs...
