Miscellaneous Miscellany Monday (Snow Storms, Fat Loss Programming, My New Project)
Writers Note: I started this blog post this morning, but then realized I had to shovel my car out, so I had to wait till later to finish it. Now I’m at work, and don’t have time to write down everything that I wanted to say, so here’s the abridged version (part II tomorrow, I… Read more
Stuff I Like, and By Default You Should Like Too
With Christmas Eve right around the corner (no I haven’t started my shopping yet, I suck), I figured I’d help all my fellow procrastinators out there with a list of some of my favorite fitness/nutrition products that I often recommend.

First Annual Cressey Performance Thanksgiving Morning Lift (A Recap)
Setting: Thanksgiving morning 6:30 AM. The last time I willfully got up this early outside of work related obligations was to watch Saturday morning cartoons last weekend when I was nine.

Giving Thanks to “Stuff”
My most favoritest time of year is finally here. Thanksgiving is pretty much the most perfect holiday ever invented. Copious amounts of delicious food + football + women in the kitchen = tears in my eyes. No, but seriously, it’s the one day out of the year where I don’t give a rats ass what… Read more
