Fighter’s like David Haye have been moving up in weight classes for years without gaining the fat that ‘should’ come with it. It seems to be common knowledge that you have to gain fat while you’re adding lean muscle mass, and it makes sense. If you’re building mass you’re going to be consuming a surplus […]
How to Consistently Build Lean Muscle and Gain Strength
My guess is that if you have spent some time working out, you’ve achieved some results. You may have improved your strength, lost a bit of weight, or gained a bit of muscle, but in maintaining consistent improvements is where you found a problem. I was there with you. I tried for 7 years, […]
The 2 Most Important Steps to Build Lean Muscle
The PowerHowse Challenge – Do you have what it takes? I’ll admit it. There’s so much info out there that it’s hard at times to sift through the bullshit and find what really works. To simplify things just a bit, I’m going to talk about 2 steps you should be taking in order to […]
How to Gain 1 Pound of Lean Muscle Every Week
Gaining a pound of lean muscle a week isn’t the hardest thing to do in the world. But if you told me that before I had ever gained a single pound, I would have called bullshit. It seemed like an impossible thing for me to do when I first started training – and for the […]
How to Stop Wasting Time and Start Transforming Your Body
As you can see, I WAS NOT born with a body that would easily add muscle, or improve in other areas as well, like strength, speed and athleticism. Here are a few things that led to my eventual transformation… For starters, if I hadn’t eventually met the right person who helped me build the […]
Become Your Own Hero
Pic from the new movie “Thor” coming out soon – pretty stoked for this. Conan the Barbarian, Commando, Rocky, Batman Begins. I loved these movies growing up. They inspired me. I remember watching Rocky for the first time, then going for a 10 mile run in the snow. Those movies were badass. The heroes were […]
How to Get Bigger Arms
The guys from the movie “300” did challenge-based workouts. Seemed to work for them. Agree? When people think arms, they immediately think about isolation exercises like curls – biceps – and skull crushes – triceps. And they’re awesome exercises that I implement into my training and they work. But that’s not the only way to […]
Develop Power That Lasts
Rocky Marciano had power in the 1st and 15th round (when it counted the most). Power is a fast but brief exertion of force. The more weight you can move the faster, the more powerful you are. But that doesn’t really count in sports – unless you’re an Olympic lifter or power. We need power […]
Eat Like a Man!
24 oz of juicy goodness Nutrition has been positioned as something that’s very complicated, but it shouldn’t be. You ask 100 people how to eat for fat loss, weight gain, and for pure health, and you could get 100 different answers. What’s my take on nutrition? Well for one, I think we – the men […]
The #1 Exercise For Building Athletic Power
I grew up watching Naim Süleymanoğlu or “the Pocket Hercules“. What is Athletic Power? Power is speed x weight. Or speed x force. The faster you can push a heavy weight, the more powerful you are. Technically. In sports, it’s a little different than simply pushing a lot of weight. There aren’t many sports where a […]

This also means a body that has few weaknesses, which brings me to Joe. Joe approached me with a few guest article ideas for the site, and […]

The System That Changed My Life: the PowerHowse Challenge
In the past week I’ve mentioned the system that helped me build 32 pounds in 32 weeks a few times, but I have yet to get into detail about what it really is. So here we go… Just over a year ago I began writing a book. I had no title, but I had a […]
The #1 Thing Holding You Back From Building Muscle: Insanity
Albert Einstein said: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Well, for my first 7-years in the weight room I was doing pretty much the same thing week after week, month after month. I’d start a new workout, experiencing some gains, and then stick with the same split, […]
My Unique Muscle-Building Journey
I’ve told bits and pieces of my journey to building the body I have today, and had eluded me for so long, but I never went into any great detail so I figured now would be the time – and with good reason (more on that later). My journey to building 32 pounds of muscle […]
