If you put a gun to my head and wanted to know what I would do and actually do with my sons, who are 8 and 10, when it comes to youth athlete strength training, these are what I would do.   Simple, effective and a way to see rapid growth in terms of development.  Put away your speed ladders and barbells for this age, get back to the basics.   In fact, if you are an adult, you can train this way an...

So many people have well meaning friends and family that want to try and lecture them on the dangers of fasting, which is ironic, because a majority of the time, those well-meaning people don't have good health or good looking physiques.   Today, a long time client texted me a reel from IG that someone had sent her and she wanted to know how to deal with people that lecture her about fasting.  In...

Last week was a whirlwind.  I went out to Utah for a quick 36 hour trip to hang with my buddy and client, Nate Bailey.  Nate wanted me to experience stem cell therapy and experience it I did!  Then, once I got home, I was off to a seminar for a few hours to learn from a legend in the strength and conditioning industry, Joe Kenn.  In addition, I had the opportunity to hear Brian Koppelman, the crea...

We had a great time on our cruise to celebrate my parent's 50th anniversary last week.   I often get the question about what I do on a vacation and what other's should do.  While I can't tell you what you should do, because everyone is different, I do have a certain philosophy when I'm on vacation that allows me to enjoy myself to the fullest while still feeling great.   In this episode, I cover:...

My streak of nearly 500 straight weeks nearly came to an end!  But, I am delayed at the airport coming back from a family cruise and I dialed up a gem for you! I found an old interview I did with my longtime Coach, now deceased, John Meadows.  John aka Mountain Dog, was a legend in the bodybuilding world.   I was fortunate enough to learn directly from John, as well as have him featured in one of...

Strength is the big glass bowl that all other fitness and athletic qualities fit into.   Strength is often the answer and yes, it is all relative.   Understanding these concepts will go a long way in your journey to optimal health.   I keep it simple so you can keep it simple, yet also learn for yourself.   Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man

Two weeks ago, silver hit an all-time high of $52+.  I was pumped, but not surprised, because I have been buying silver for the better part of the past five years.     I know, all the money guys say it's not an investment, but when something in the wealth world has gone up almost 300% in the past 5-6 years, I'd say they are wrong.     However, the point of today's writing is not to give you financ...

I've been fortunate enough to stem from what I would say is the best Coaching tree in the world, in the field of strength, conditioning and nutrition.   Here's my tree in no particular order: Louie Simmons - Founder of Westside Barbell, the strongest gym in the world Jay Butler - 20 year strength Coach in D1 and NFL, named D1 strength Coach of the year John Meadows - Bodybuilding guru, top Coach f...

In this special edition episode, I sat down with my long time, old friend, Mayhem.   Mayhem and I became boys back in highschool and although we have been busy with the roads that life has took us down, it was great to chat and catch up.   Mayhem is a comedian, formerly working on the old, but famous, Opie and Anthony show.   In this episode, we hit such a wide range of topics, including Mayhem's...

Over the weekend, I was talking with Devon about our sons, Braxton and Colty.  They are both very good athletes with a lot of potential.   And being that I have a unique background in the field of athletics, I was pointing out a few anomolies on Braxton that most people would never even notice.   Running with that idea, I thought I would share with you, today, what we can take from the example of...

Begin with the assumption that cutting calories is the way to go when it comes to your weight and health... Then destroy that assumption.   In this episode, I lay out why that path is perhaps the worst idea that is still rampant in health and fitness.  If you gave most fit pros truth serum, they'd tell you the same thing. They don't tell you because there is a huge lack of expertise when it comes...

Most people aren't clear on why they train or what training quality they are attempting to train.  IN today's episode I go over the training qualities that I believe are the pillars of training, including: strength, strength endurance, hypertrophy, isometric, power and mobility.  If you keep doing the same old, you'll get the same old results.   Plus, I give one powerful mindset insight at the end...

Your health and wellness is too important to just blindly follow the 'science'.   You must use observation, real world experience and intuition to find out what works for you.   The science has been laid out for us when it comes to health, yet we are over 50% obesity as a population.   Science tells you it's all about calories in and calories out, yet that fails 99% of the time.  Where is the 'sci...

What's up everyone!? Summer is wrapping up, that's means seasons are literally changing and metaphorically.   There's a lot going on, including some fishy business worldwide.   What do you think of this Fake Trump?   And if you got the jab, you will want to listen to what I have to say and recommend about that.  Keep an open mind.   My currentn fitness routine will be shifting as I go with the sea...

Last week I got to sit down with Anthony and Tereza Lolli of Biohack Yourself Media.  They have 5 big documentaries out on Prime, including one that I just started called The Guru.   It all began during COVID when Anthony decided that enough was enough, he was going to transform his body.   His inspirational journey inspired millions around the world and led to him and Tereza becoming massive infl...

Technical issue is NOW fixed   Energy is very misunderstood when it comes to the human body and how your body produces it.  Specifically, people want to know how to burn energy, i.e.-body fat.   For most in the field, it's a complete mystery, so they always resort to one type of energy, calories.   But, if you've done cardio to 'burn fat', you'll know that it doesn't quite work that way.  In today...

Last week, I sat down with a long time client and friend that is a heck of an inspiration! Charles, aka Chas, has a full time gig as an executive, yet, he has made the time to come out with his first album for his band, Chas and the Skylands Gang.   In this interview, he explains the song writing process and what it takes to stay focused and never give up on a dream.   His goal is to one day have...

When I was 7, I internalized death for the first time.   I was terrified! But, as much as that sucked, it has served me well.  How? I've thought about death far, far more than the average person.  And this thought at a young age, which continued for years, shaped the way I look at everything.   In today's episode, I explain how life is a series of deaths.  You might scoff at the idea or this might...

Core is the most popular training term in the world.   Everyone wants a strong, good looking core.   Yet, hardly anyone knows how to get it.   In this episode, I explain the core, in my terms, which should make it become very clear in your mind with what you need to do in order to develop a strong looking and performing core.   Core training is about a lot more than just sit-ups and crunches.   Le...

We just got back from another great vacation and boy.... It sure ended with bang! I fell off a cliff when jumping with the triplets.   Tune in to hear what happened and what other insights I came away with from our vacation.   Expose yourself to new ideas and thoughts and see where they may take you.   Don't forget to share my content with someone else that can benefit from it.   I always apprecia...

In this episode, I am out in nature, strolling with Ainsely before her morning nap and shooting from the hip.   I think there's some pretty good stuff in here, but you be the judge.   I should go back more often to re-listen to the thoughts I have in terms of my content, I rarely do though, but I should.  Something for me to examine.   See how I view science and my science when it comes to the min...

You are being lied to.   When it comes to your health and fitness.   Not intentionally, at least in most cases, but mainly by the ignoramus known as the Fake Fitness Experts.   They are fed propoganda and because their god with a little g, of science, tells them it's so, they start spewing it to anyone that will listen.   When it comes down to it, if you really press them, they will refer to self...

We recently got back this past weekend from our first of two summer vacations.   And I fasted.   Did I diet?  Heck no! I get the question all the time, 'Kyle, what should I do with my eating on vacation?' Do what you want, enjoy it.   In this episode, I go over what I do on vacation, the mindset and what I do with my training on vacations.   Hopefully this is timely for you.   I have clients that...

As I recorded this on vacation this morning, there were two current events that I thought I would talk about.   If you don't like when I talk about things other than fitness and fasting, then tune this one out.   However, the smart mind will be able to connect the dots and see how this applies to health, fitness and nutrition.   Is Trump a puppet or a genius? Is Liver King's meltdown real or all a...
