That idiom never sat right with me, :necessity being the mother of invention,” because it implies there’s plenty that;s uninvented and we still need.
Rest days need to be spent in one of two ways. Spend your rest day, not vegging, but recovering. There’s a difference!
Ever get BORED on the Treadmill? I’ve heard it all. Folks gruntin’ like their colitis is flaring up, huffing half-stanzas of their most inspirational Weeknd bops, chanting to themselves – aloud- that their favorite QB is working out RIGHT NOW. Anything to get through the grind. Luckily, before the BORED feeling washes over you and you don’t know what you’ll…
I’m not really sure where the idea of fasting originates. After generations of escaping starvation we are actually engaging in recreational hunger?! But in due seriousness, fasting can be a short term tool for weight loss. Really I just want to go over it because if we’re struggling during a workout, you did not WRONG..

Still during the pandemic,…
Pockets on the low? How are you gonna get your Protein in? We already know that outside forces keep our pockets light from time to time: vacations tap our resources for worthwhile getaways, family crises tug at our balance sheets siphoning dollars to prevent hardship, auto emergencies and the unpaid tickets suck dry what we work hard for often. But…
1 and Done folks only train for a short time – after a quick burst of energy, flash in the pan, they’re done with little else to give. We can’t have you be like that my friends, no, never that. Being a frontrunner in life, inside the room of thought and ideas is never our goal – instead, we train…
I see it like this – unless there’s a cold robbery and home invasion going on, if someone want a lick off you, you’re a lick! There’s no in between, there’s not a choice. You’re going to give up your material possessions and live another day, all the time if someone pushes a weapon to your nostril. But, if you’re…
