I start this show by stating that I don't really like putting out content that doesn't, at least somewhat differentiate itself from other content. Even though I would get much more traction doing a show about hot-button fitness topics, it pains me to do it. So, today's show is about matching your motives to your goals. Oftentimes, I have matched my motives to what I thought my goals should be. It...

I created a new program exclusively available at my patreon https://www.patreon.com/user?u=2666345&fan_landing=true. This Program is called SIMPLY THE BEST PROGRAM. This is a sarcastic name because I created this program in response to all the maniacs claiming that their programming is the best or the only one you need. My motives were to then create a program that might actually included port...

I am tired of people searching online for the newest and best training advice or scrolling Instagram and TikTok for the perfect program. In today's episode, I break down the absolute most practical training advice possible to create the best program for yourself. If you are curious about how to make the most of your performance or appearance, this is the episode for you. I break down the differenc...

We are both at interesting points in our lives, and we discuss how to make our way through with as much self-respect as possible.

Listen. I am not an angry guy. Most people that know me on a personal level would support that claim. I do have a threshold, and when it is reached, I tend to lose my cool. Well, in this episode, my threshold was reached and I absolutely lose my cool. I stumbled across a fitness "influencer" who thinks it's ok to mimic and ridicule a developmentally disabled, special needs fellow. I will...

I loved doing this episode because it really did come from the heart. I'm angered by the recent response to the episode I did with Judd Lienhard. Judd showed great wisdom and an open mind, yet people flamed him for it. Many people believe the world is binary. There is a right and wrong in their view, and I find that ludicrous. The human experience is incredibly complex and trying to simplify or co...

Judd Lienhard is a rare mix of awesome physique and high level performance. I loved talking to Judd because he has a very thoughtful approach to not only fitness but to life. Mixing speed, power and mobility in with hypertrophy is very wise but certainly not easy, so I enjoyed hearing how everyday folk could go about it. Follow Judd on Instagram and check out his programming. Do me a favor and lik...

So I took my level of danger to a new level by engaging in the Sheepdog Response Protector Course and I tell you all about how not bad ass I am. Plus I clear up some issues people are having with my prior comments on training. Dude. An incredibly small percentage of people who listen to show are not subscribed. Please do that. Mathematically zero people subscribe and engage with my YouTube page so...

I really go hard in this episode. I want to hammer home the importance of diet. Far too many people ask me questions about training, which is important, but it's irrelevant if you can't eat properly. I think I do a service in this episode to those of you that want to look good naked. Do you want to look good naked? If the answer is yes, listen and download and like and tell your friends and all th...

It's never easy to make a big change. Not only do you find it hard to change your habits over a long period of time, you also have to decipher the most effective way to do it. When it comes to losing fat and gaining muscle, there are a lot of ways to go about it, but all these various ways have some common tenets, and those tenets are what I focus on in this episode.

I liked the last Question and Answer session so much, I decided to do it again. Actually, I just got so many good questions that I a didn't have room for just one episode. A lot of really good stuff get's touched on like, when to bulk and when to cut, who's the best Gracie, bad first dates, sober January, finding motivation and food volume.

Cardio training is so misunderstood. Professional or competitive athletes have tricked us into believing that cardio is better for fat loss than other forms of movement. I'm not saying cardio is bad or shouldn't be done, but it needs to be at the bottom of the tier when you're trying to look good naked. In this episode I give you the nuts and bolts of how to properly use non resistance training ac...

I am not going to bemoan the entirety of modern, digital content. I myself, create and utilize social media and digital outlets to build my career. I do strongly believe that the modern fitness culture is greatly distorted and the real victims are you who just wants to make better decisions. On today's episode I breakdown all of my issues with fitness content and how you can be more aware of the c...

Watching what you eat seems to become exponentially harder once Halloween hits, and that added pressure doesn't subside until the New Year. The holidays are festive. There will be more social gatherings and communal fun, and with it, reasons to stuff that face. I do not recommend abstaining from the increased culinary fun, but I also dislike the heightened shame cycle that can come with it. The ho...

Jay Campbell is a friend of mine and is undoubtedly one of the most prominent voices, if not the most famous, in the hormone world. He wrote the "Testosterone Optimization Therapy Bible," "Testosterone Replacement Therapy Manual," and now he is adding a fantastic new book, "30 Days 2 Shred: Reprogram Your Mind and Metabolism." I've had the luxury of reading the new bo...

Who is an expert? This question has never been harder to answer. With very high appeals to authority and very little barrier of entry to the title, information in fitness has become dubious at best. I try to clear up the blurry mess that is modern fitness info and I address the new developments with the poor Liver King. Do me a favor and like/subscribe so that I can be happy.

I am a pretty even-keeled fella. I rarely get too worked on things, but I talk about three things that bother me greatly in today's episode. The fitness industry has tricked you into believing things should or could come quickly, and also, your sense of realistic body image is quite distorted. Lastly, I dive right into a critical issue: steroid use for young people. I would genuinely love to hear...
