I grew up watching Westerns and Action films. It was Arny’s heyday, Stallone was on top of his game, and movies like Tombstone brought the wild west to my living room. As far as the cinema was concerned, there isn’t a better time to have grown up, and to say that these movies didn’t influence how […]
Why You Need to Man Up And Chase Your Dreams
The longer I live, and the more people I meet, I realize that successful and happy people work harder than unhappy people. I’ve realized that they set bigger goals and take action on said goals while unhappy people are content to merely dream. I’ve also realized that it’s important that you’re real with yourself, who […]
Booze and Building Muscle
The first time we became acquainted she made my head spin. I wasn’t yet ready for her. She was too strong for me. Too bold. I couldn’t appreciate how age had brought her character. How it added to her depth. How it gave her layers. Unlike the others I’d tried of different colors and flavors, […]
The 6 Steps to Being a Respected Man
Our perception of our reality is far more important than the actual reality. Growing up I was always skinny and under-sized. I didn’t grow up with a ton of money in my household either – at least in comparison to most of my friends. As a result of both of those factors I grew up with […]
17 Valuable Life Lessons You Will Eventually Need to Learn
This was my second trip within the month. On my previous flight I’d taken my first journey to Vegas. ‘Twas a trip that would span four sleepless nights filled with stories that must remain in that city, and that probably took 5 years off my life. The flight I was currently on, was actually a […]
Two supplements that suck and two that don’t
Ah supplements. Those pills, powders, and potions that promise us the world, but rarely deliver much of anything. The fitness industry is largely run by the supplement companies that feed us biased information in cunning effort to get us to spend more money on things that they sell. What works and what doesn’t isn’t always […]
The Muscle Building Meal Guide
I was a tad skinny as a kid. You could say that I was the runt of a litter of one. And that didn’t change for a long time – I stayed skinny until my mid-twenties. Being skinny isn’t the worst thing in the world, but it isn’t the best thing either. And isn’t that […]
10 Manly Attributes You Can Develop in the Gym
With all the good progress we’ve made in the last century, political correctness cannot be counted as one of our crowning “improvements”. The truth now has to be curtailed, distorted, and twisted to appease a few touchy individuals who take themselves too seriously. To that I say, stereotypes, though they attempt to confine a large […]
5 Boring Characteristics You Need to Succeed
We all have an idilic idea of where we want to be, who we want to be, and the life we want to live. What many are failing to realize is the arduous road filled with long hours and many a sacrifice, that has to be walked if our dream is going to be realized. […]
Steven Pressfield Giveaway
I can live without TV. I feel fine without my phone. But if you were to take my books away from me, I’d surely go mad. If you took my words away from me, my ability to write – even to myself – I’m not sure how I’d survive. It wasn’t, however, always so. In high […]
Why Michael Jordan Didn’t Fear Failure
What was once a basketball court, a boxing gym, or an ice rink, is now the office and the coffee shop. As I sit here writing this article, not yet aware of where it will lead me, I’m struck with a familiar feeling. It’s quiet. There’s no sound except for some background music turned to […]
5 Simple Steps to Look And Perform Better At The Same Time
When I first walk down the broken, battered steps that led to the sweat-marinated walls of my boxing gym, I was faced with a bit of a dilemma. At the time I was a tad chubby, and still scrawny. My endurance was decent. My power, ok. But I was nothing special, and I needed to become […]
How to Accept Your Reality and Make the Best of It
Reality, that is, the way things are, is something we tend to avoid, manipulate, or fear. I woke up with a stinging headache with my eyes unable to focus, my stomach queazy and as if I was about erupt from both ends (I’ll stop painting that picture here). I stood up, the alarm still ringing, […]
5 Simple Steps to Increase Testosterone Levels in Men
A few years ago something clicked in my often stubborn mind that led me down a journey to find the “secret” to a strong, powerful, alpha-esque body. A secret that I eventually found in the powerful, often vilified hormone, Testosterone. Alas, there I stood, weights in hand, sweat pouring from my brow as I lifted the […]
you can’t pursue happiness, but here’s how you can create it
Happiness isn’t a pursuit. You don’t Get Happy, you Be Happy. Happiness exists in what you do and who you are, not in what you’re chasing or who you want to be. Thus, the importance of doing what makes you happy, and being a man you’re proud to be. If you relegate happiness to a place that can only occur in your […]
