Life heavy, run fast, live your passion
Hey! I was chatting with a client the other day and he had a question that made me say 'Hmm'. He asked the question in the title of the post. As with every other answer I ever give, I want to be confident in saying Yay or Nay. On this one I more concerned with … Continue reading Is Carbonated Water Bad for You?
Energy Balance Whether you are in the middle of deciding to increase mass or drop bodyweight, the very first and most important step in achieving a healthy nutritional balance is figuring out how much energy your body needs.

The last couple of weeks I have been riddled with ideas, thoughts and new ways of thinking. I've compiled a small group of testers to track a few measureable data points each day, week and month. The intention of the data is to keep track of your health and see how you progress with a … Continue reading Getting Fit 101: Measurements Worth Tracking
Wake up. Brush your teeth. Take a shower. Eat Breakfast. Go to work and make money. Go home. Eat dinner. Go to sleep. Far too often, I see this kind of routine. It is a pleasure of mine to learn and work with all of the professionally successful people I do. At the same time, … Continue reading Behavior Drives Results
YO! A topic I probably should have addressed in one of my first blog posts ever...sugar cravings. Everyone knows it's terrible to consume a metric crap ton in one sitting, but I'll be the first to admit I've destroyed a bag of Twizzlers or Skittles in my day. With no regrets.

Hey, In case you didn't know, my wife Heather is pregnant. 30 weeks in. And I'm still freaking out, man. I've been doing some research into exercise while pregnant. I've done my best in talking to MDs, reseaching nerdy crap and talking to people with experience. But really, I just want to make sure it's … Continue reading Exercise While Pregnant
Earlier today I ran up to the rec center. And in case I haven't told you, I'm on a basketball kick. Basketball is funny to me. It's a reminder of when I went through my surgeries. It's a reminder of the years of rehab. It's a reminder of all the hours spent on the … Continue reading Connecting your Why
Hey! Some nerd stuff today! (Here we go again) Anyone who's been to a Globogym can picture the guy I'm about to describe. The guy who walks around the gym in a cutoff shirt that's way too small, headphones that are way too big to be comfortable, 70's style short shorts (sometimes a fanny pack) and a gallon … Continue reading Supplementation – BCAAs
