Core stability should be one of the main focuses of everyone’s programs. You have most likely already seen Palloff presses, rollouts, landmines, ect. But what if you don’t have a cable station or just want something a bit more challenging? Here is something I partly stole from Mike Boyle when he was talking on the Strength Coach Podcast. All you need is a band and a sturdy pole.

We received an e-mail a few weeks back asking about ways to track progress and to enforce accountability. This goes along with the upcoming FitCast Accountability Blog/Contest, if you haven’t already give it a look and check it out.
Use FitDay: One of the first tools I have found to be very effective is FitDay.com. FitDay [...]

We have been talking about it for a while and you guys have been asking for it…Here it is…

When Leigh Peele and I put together Destination Abs there were three main components.

1. Leigh Peele’s Amazing nutrition books The Fat Loss Troubleshoot and (later on) Body By Eats.

2. The training program that I wrote up in accordance with the nutritional guidelines that Leigh Provided.
3. ACCOUNTABILITY

Are we back? Yes, we’re back.

It has been a long time since I have done a Destination Abs update. Too long. Some have even e-mailed me to ask me what the hell was going on with this project Leigh and I set out on 9 or so months ago. Well, I took some time off [...]

This is the first blog post for The FitCast where we discuss where the show and the website are going in the upcoming weeks, months, and years.

We got an e-mail this past week in the mailbag asking for what my favorite episodes of The FitCast were. Off the top of my head I could think of about a thirty that I would consider to be prerequisites for new listeners. I also needed more blog content…So…Here… We… Go…
The first group of episodes [...]

This is part 2 of the things I learned in 2009. It is going to be just 9 things (even though I learned countless things). If you haven’t already, read part 1 then hurry back!
#6 If you are in a Position to Help Others, Do so.
This is an actual conversation that I had with someone [...]

Yep, it is another one of those, “things I learned last year” posts. Hopefully I have some things that aren’t on those other lists, and at least you get to see a dude with abs on his back (so I guess Lumbar extension is OK!). I myself have been on a fat loss quest for about a year. Actually it was more of a body transformation as I was also able to go from a 205 lb skinny fat guy to a 195 lb guy who actually has some muscle on him as well.

I guess we can officially say Phase 3 is over. We shot the calories back down for 2 or 3 more weeks after the “bulking” phase and my body has just had enough. Also I have been itching (and bitching to Leigh) about wanting to go back to the upper/lower splits and [...]

It has been ten weeks now since I started this with Leigh Peele. It has been quite a journey. Some ups, some downs. This past week I have been doing great. Yes, I still see the ice cream in the fridge and my family ordering takeout and I want to cheat, but [...]
