You Want More Tony. I Want People To Stop Eating Cookies.

So, I’m kinda late in writing today, but I figured better late than never. First off, I want to let everyone know that I started a new training log over at t-nation.com. It’s going to serve a few purposes: 1. Give people the opportunity to see how I train and see how I set up… Read more

Why Not Both?

In co-hosting The Fitcast the past two weeks, there was one conversation in particular that really struck a chord with me.
