Are You a Man with NO Excuses?
There are TOO many excuse makers out there. Age tends to get the blame most often, or is it time that gets the blame? Check this video below of Laird Hamilton and then read on with me.... Laird Hamilton has not allowed age to limit him, and since following him as a kid, I have noticed that he has only become stronger and better at everything he does. NO Excuses. 35 is around the corner for me, and I have changed things up to keep me "under the bar" where as most men I run into make excuses … [Read more...]

In fact, it has happened countless times, where some fat ass Dad says to me, "I used to look like you. Then I got married, had kids..... You'll see, it'll happen to you." The fact of … [Read more...]

I've seen Martin Bench Press 315 for a solid 6 reps and he weighs around 200 lbs, lean and mean. The regular practice of sprints and bodyweight training have had a … [Read more...]
