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. The quality of our workout hangs on […]
Time is Limited. Take Action.
The day we were born is the day we started dying. It’s kind of weird to think of it like that. But it puts things into perspective. It puts time into perspective. Today we have a guest article. I rarely approve guest articles on the site – if you haven’t noticed – but Keith was both […]
Six Pack Abs Are For Actors & Athletes. Not Us.
“It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through.” Zig Ziglar The pain was excruciating… And I was only in my second of who knows how many sets. That’s the thing with the calisthenics at the end of boxing practice. No […]
How To Develop Strength. Courage. And Look Good Naked.
Vulnerability. That annoying little thing that women want from us. They want us to expose our feelings. Share what’s inside. “Tell me what you’re feeling… inside.” “Express your feelings!” “Communicate!” So many arguments between men and women begin and end with our inability to express our feelings, and their abundant need to do so. It’s […]
A Real Man Won’t Let Time Run His Life
“Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.” ~ Harvey Mackay Are you going to let time beat you? September 9, 1985 was my first day at war with […]
Why We’re Fat: The Missing Link
The hunt. Spear, firmly gripped in my hands. The beast stands proud, ears erect, unaware that he will soon provide my family with a much needed meal. The ground is dry. If I’m not careful, the twigs and branches beneath my feet can alert the animal at any moment. I lie waiting for the right […]
The 10 Best Supplements for Men
I remember walking into a weight room and seeing the jacked guys having their protein shakes – and who knows what else – and thinking that’s what I’m missing. That’s what they’re doing that I’m not, that’ll get me jacked. So I started taking supplements, all kinds of supplements. But nothing changed. Why? Because our ideal physique doesn’t […]
10 Unconventional Weight Room Mistakes
I’m looking in the mirror at the gym. My shoulders are about as wide as the girl standing next to me. My shirt, a medium, may as well have been a XXXL. To say I was skinny would be an understatement. I was a toothpick. I couldn’t find a shirt that would fit tight around my […]
How to Lower Estrogen Levels in Men
The skinny fat man, or more specifically, the man boob. Are they a product of fat, or of high estrogen levels? Well, the skinny fat man‘s life is kind of a revolving door of one thing contributing to another, all contributing to higher estrogen levels, lower testosterone levels, and a physique that doesn’t inspire a whole lot […]
Why You Need More Testosterone in Your Life!
So here I stand… …half way up a volcano in Maui. The lush greenery is like nothing I’ve ever seen – which is saying a lot coming from Vancouver. The weather on the mountain’s nothing to be desired. It’s cold and its wet. Goosebumps cover my skin like spots on a cheetah. But the smile […]
Want to Gain Muscle? Leave Your EGO at the Door
Let me set the scene. The gym. You walk in, see an oddly shaped fellow on the bench press. Three plates dawn either side of the bar – a lot of weight, especially considering the guy isn’t that massive by any means. He presses the weight, stands up, face as red as mine was after […]
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 […]
The V Shape Torso. Here’s How to Get it.
V for…. very nice physique? Take a look at the letter V. Then take a look at the guy to my right – on the right… and sorry Batman… The thick traps (semi-covered by the cape) that slope down into the extremely broad shoulders. The shoulders that are pulled back and sit on muscular lats […]
How to Become a Skinny Fat Man
The skinny fat man… Boyish shoulders that hang ever so gingerly over the budding bitch tits, and the tire that hangs an inch or two over his belt. A belt that still deceptively holds firm around 32-34 inches. He can hide his ‘details’ under a few extra layers, but his frame hasn’t changed since he […]
My 3 Favorite Muscle-Building Recipe’s
Why do so few of us look the way we’d ideally want to look? Things like genetics, hormones, training and nutrition all play a roll. But two things, above all else, determine how we’re going to look: motivation and consistency. Consistency is often determined by our degree of motivation. Those of us who really want to change […]
