Work in Progress

Ok, I don't necessarily think I was a hypocrite, but I'm guilty of not practicing what I preach. Well, that's the definition of being a hypocrite, so I'm guilty as charged. I frequently talk about not overtraining, considering your health before aesthetics, and cardio should be either not done or done responsibly. I then went and broke all my own rules. I paid the price, and now I'm putting the pieces back together and correcting the situation. Do you feel you've never been more disciplined and consistent, yet you're still not getting results? Maybe you're in the same position as me. Let's get into it. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

I like Vinnie. A brilliant and thoughtful guy, Vinnie created the #NSNG (no sugar, no grains) revolution that has helped countless people find better health and fitness. He also has an excellent new documentary called "Beyond Impossible" available on Amazon Prime. This documentary comes very highly recommended from yours truly, and it explores the dishonesty and corruption within the world of plant-based nutrition. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Last episode I promised that my wife, Bianca Kajlich, would come on and discuss how she punctured the long-held beliefs of female fitness to achieve her best health ever. I make good on that promise and my wife dives right into eating meat, lifting heavy, and NOT BEING BULKY!!! Forget your salads and cardio and finally see the results you're looking for. I really liked this conversation and I think you will too. Her new site www.allwelcomehere.com is waiting for you folks. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

I see and hear things that I disagree with. I also see and hear things that frustrate me. So today, I wanted to dive right into those issues and ideas. I get into simplifying training and nutrition, proper chest training, real female training, and the disgusting dishonesty in female fitness media. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

There is so much information on training out there. There are only three types of training that you should concern yourself with if you want to look and feel better. These three types are high volume, high intensity, and absolute strength training. High volume training is lots of work done at a moderate level of intensity, and it serves you well for hypertrophy (muscle gain). High-intensity training is a medium or low amount of work done at extreme levels of intensity (muscular failure and beyond.) Strength training or training for maximal strength gain is often a varied level of amount of work done with extremely low reps. Another aspect of the three varieties that differentiates them is the rest between sets. With high volume, you want to use shorter rest periods as trauma, and lactic acid buildup in the muscles you're targeting is more important than performance. With strength training, rest is very long between sets because you want to be able to perform highly, and that is all. You would periodize all three styles into your routine in a perfect world, but you should make one style a majority piece that best suits your goals. Listen, Download, and Subscribe, my friends.

I've known Matt Vincent for a good five years or so. He is a Highland Games World Champion who has dedicated his life to physical culture and personal development. He is also a very courageous entrepreneur and adventurer. I admire him very much and respect his desire to take advantage of being alive. He's genuinely appreciative and grateful for the present moment. Find this mad man at @ihviiimattvincent Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

My family encountered a second mini lockdown this week. Here in Texas, it started snowing, and the roads froze over. My daughter got her first snow day, and my wife and I had to put things on pause. I thought it would be nice to do a whole family episode, which turned out great. My wife and daughter gave great insight into life and love from two very different perspectives.

There was talk of creatine, Essential Amino Acids, Overhead Press, Female Vs. Male Strength Training, Protein Shakes vs. Real Food, and I vacuumed up the only part of my body worth mentioning.
