I had a phone call with my buddy a few weeks ago on the way home from Vermont. My buddy and I check in a few times a week with one another and make sure each of us is kicking ass & taking names. If not, we call the other guy out and deliver some "Real Talk". It's great to have a friend that is like this vs a friend who is only there out of convenience. Want to know what else real friends do? They answer the phone. Some people can't talk to you unless it's a text message. Come on, that is … [Read more...]

Nate Miyaki Intermittent FEAST QnA – Part II
""Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength." - Arnold Z: I know coaches like Waterbury and Ferruggia recommend a similar eating approach.

Intermittent Fasting & Mental Toughness Workout
Last night was a rough workout for me.... as many of you know if you've been here for a while, my workouts don't focus on solely the physical development of strength aspect but largely on the mental toughness aspect and pushing myself to greater heights. Last night started with about 10 sets of snatches. My body felt like it was on "empty" from the get go. Once I finished my snatches, I told one of my coaches that it's time for me to crank a "mental toughness" workout. Once I finished that … [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)? I don’t think I’ve had breakfast in two years now. Or at least regularly. Sometimes if I’m gonna be traveling or something I do just because I’d get sick on the plane if I didn’t eat. Or if I know I will be without food for a very long … [Read more...]

Here are my experiences thus far with The Renegade Diet...... [youtube width="640" height="380"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmXIfkcBdVU[/youtube] I'll be sending Jason the questions … [Read more...]
Intermittent Fasting, Jack LaLanne & YOUR Health
I recall the moment as if it just happened 5 minutes ago. I was in my mid 20s and full force in my bodybuilding days..... I was at the mall, shopping with my girlfriend at the time, now my wife. I had been single for a looong time and I was used to revolving my life around training, eating, sleeping and basically living my life on my own schedule. Bodybuilding and working out was what I revolved my life around. I had a regimented life and nothing stood in my way when it came to eating and … [Read more...]
