The more I utilize simple dumbbell & bodyweight workouts for myself, the more I realize less is more. Less variety and more focus = greater results in strength and size. I've been around too long and I want to challenge and question what REALLY works. I've seen the results of some of the most popular "programs" out there...... I wanted to see, do these athletes demonstrate greater strength? Greater speed? Greater physicality and more muscle? Well, the program looks impressive on … [Read more...]
Austin Powers
I arrived in Austin last Friday after an early 6 am flight (which means I was up at 3 AM & on the road for 3:30 AM). This was my 3rd time in the ATX, and, thinking it would be my last time, at least for a year. I figured I'll take a trip elsewhere for The USC Cert next year. Go somewhere else, be adventurous, right? You see.... I'm not much of a traveler and I actually perform my best knowing I'm coming home to my family every night... my wife and my kids. Even if it's a hectic work day, a … [Read more...]
The Power Behind Push Ups

I am ALWAYS shocked when I have athletes at my gym who trained elsewhere and they are NOT performing the … [Read more...]
Renegade Diet QnA
Undergrounders.... I cranked a QnA with Jason Ferruggia regarding The Renegade Diet. Check it out and enjoy.... 1) When did you start skipping breakfast and what, if any obstacles, did you have to get comfortable with (both physical and mental challenges)?

Or if I know I will be without food for a very long … [Read more...]
My Experience With The Renegade Diet
I never try to fake it through the fact that nutrition is my strong point. I can lock down the basics but when it comes down to REALLY dialing it in, I go to experts. I'm not so arrogant to think I know it all. Nutrition has REALLY been a focus of mine lately, and more so than just nutrition, HEALTH is # 1. Here are my experiences thus far with The Renegade Diet......

3 Rules For Short, Effective Workouts
Workouts don't have to be long to be effective. Trust me, I KNOW. I used to spend 90 - 120 minutes in the gym each and every workout. Back in high school, it wasn't odd for me to be there longer than 2 hours every training session. That long and endless style of training doesn't work, especially when you actually have half a life. Here are 3 ways you can get more results from your workouts in at least Half the time Once again, these are simple tips, NOT easy tips. Results take WORK. … [Read more...]
