I have a ritual that I go through every time I get ready to work out. This process helps me harness the right state of mind to get my pump on! I am actually writing an ebook on this process and it should be out shortly, which means sooner than later. Be sure to check [...]

Da Clean Bulk
I have been eating the the cleanest diet in my life recently. I am working my way up to being the heaviest I have ever weighed. The most I have ever weighed was 187 and that was in 2006 when I moved to Des Moines. I was not as lean as I am now though, [...]

Reporting Back
Training is going awesome. I am still experiencing big gains and I have been loving the Maximum Strength programming. I have just finished Phase 1 and am going to start Phase 2 today. It looks like a nice fresh template of exercises, but I will be honest, I am going to miss the traditional back [...]

Work is [...]

Hop On My Back, I Want To Do Some Pushups.
The best part about lifting weights, or even just being at the gym, is the premium weirdos. The old dude in ridiculous spandex, that shaves his legs but looks like sasquatch everywhere else. Body hair and flab all over the place. He also wears a visor. The over zealous grunter, see a couple posts ago. Since [...]

Seasons Greetings From The Off Season
Last night I started to finalize some of my plans for the off season. It is becoming apparent to me now, that there is no off season. I really didn’t follow proper training etiquette when it came to this last ultimate season. But, my situation was a little different. When you are trying to ramp [...]
