The most important factor for muscle tone

Posted in Uncategorized, Fat Loss, Fitness, Diet, Nutrition on Jul 01, 2016

In this post, I'm going to do my damnedest to try and convince you that strength training is what you need to have the best physique of your life, and that it won't make you bulky (unless you want it to).

I have a strong bias towards lifting because I've seen how it changes my client's lives. I've helped tons of people feel sexier and more confident, using strength training to shape their body. Not bragging, just explaining my reasoning.

The majority of my clients have zero strength training experience prior to working with me. They’ve worked out extensively but are frustrated because nothin...

I’m writing this on Father’s Day. My Dad passed away when I was 16. He had a rare blood condition that you’ve probably never heard of.

Your habits determine what old age looks like for you. Of course genetics play a role in this, as they do in anything related to health. That doesn't mean you can't increase yo...

How to make salads not suck and leave lunch not hungry

My DNA might be part garbage disposal.

I have a reputation among friends for my ability to eat. This is one of the advantages to being on the taller side. Not fitting into some cars is a disadvantage.

I fancy a good salad (emphasis on “good”). And as the personification of the Sarlacc, I can say anecdotally that salads can be really filling.

Now, lest you think I’m recommending a salad only diet, here’s a thing I wrote 4 Healthy Things On The Menu That Aren't Fucking Salad

My point is that if you think salads can’t be filling, you’re doing salads wrong.

This begs the question:
