A Drive Home With Junior Seau
A Drive Home With Junior Seau Today, I drove out to visit and spend time with my parents. A drive that takes about 45 minutes. But the bridges, tunnels, and road blocks make it seem like it takes hours. The awe-inspiring sunset I gawk at as I drive through the farm fields approaching the small […]
Pre Workout Nutrition
Energy levels are arguably the most important nutritional topic we can cover with regards to our training. Yes, keeping cortisol levels low and getting a head start to the recovery process are both vital pieces to the puzzle, but we get nothing done if we don’t have energy.

Life is good. But it isn’t easy. 5:58 am. My eyes crack open. Then close again, unsure if light is what they want to be exposed to right now. Without a thought I sit up like The Undertaker (of WWF fame – here’s what I mean), unaware of the time or the fact that my alarm is […]
Is Your Breakfast Killing You?
The first meal of our day has been a hot topic over the last while, especially with the rise of intermittent fasting. In the last few months I’ve done protocol’s where I have breakfast, and others where I skip it. If I have it, it usually looks like what I’m about to talk about. If […]
