Training without properly warming up is like bungee jumping with a cord sprayed with liquid nitrogen (OK, maybe not that severe, but just go with it). My clients will usually spend 10-15 minutes warming up including foam rolling, muscle activation, and dynamic movements. When a new resource comes out that can help [...]

I don’t usually write posts about books I have just read, but this book is different. I feel lucky to have talked to the author of “Under the Bar,” Dave Tate in the past for the 1-year anniversary of The FitCast. Dave is a straight forward, no BS kind of guy, in [...]

Some of you have heard my story, but I found some old pictures and I thought it would be a good time to retell it. When I was a freshman in high school I clocked in at just under 210 lbs. I was unhappy. I can home from school and just ate [...]

Kevin takes a yoga class which spurns some debate with Jon. We also discuss the verdict on censoring the show, website updates and more.

It has been 129 days since I started this with Leigh Peele. That is over 4 months! In that time I have made some major body composition changes but the best part of the experience came from what I learned. I learned that you can get incredibly fast results (I mean 3+ [...]
