Every year we should be getting better, right? Oftentimes that means letting go of what hasn’t been working. We should be trying new things, find new angles or new perspectives or try new approaches… but that doesn’t mean they will always work.  I’ve come up with a list of things that are holding people back - in this past year for sure but in many years before this. Ranging from workouts and exer...

Common sense and just being a good person will carry you a long way when it comes to knowing how to act and follow proper etiquette and protocol in any environment. But sometimes, there are small things that are less intuitive, that are actually important. And probably more common, is that the people who are “supposed” to know how to act, purposely act poorly, leading newcomers to think that that’...

By far the most important factor in your fitness progress is consistency. You can follow all of the best rules and training tips and do everything perfectly - if you only do it once a month, nothing is going to happen. That being said, I think on this podcast I’ve hammered that point home plenty and maybe you are being consistent, yet still not seeing the progress you hope. Well, consistency is ex...

Most hacks are trying to shortcut hard work. That is not what this episode is about. I know that you know that you need to be in the gym consistently and putting in hard work.

Some of these are things I think everyone must do, and some of them are just little thing...

Live and learn, so they say! We all make mistakes and of course there’s nothing wrong with that. The only thing that is a shame is when we don’t learn from our mistakes.
