USA Basketball and “Core Training”
In a world where we can get digital images from Mars, split atomic particles to be used as energy, develop cameras the size of the tip of a pen to explore the human body*, or any other host of technological wizardry you can think of (OMGILOVEMYIPOD); why is it that professional athletes are still doing… Read more
Random Thoughts (Vitamin D, Exercise Doesn’t Work?, and I’m Changing My Name)
1. There are two vehicles that drive fat loss; exercise and diet (thank you Captain Obvious). Everyone always seems to focus solely on the exercise part, particularly women who feel that 45 minutes on the treadmill is what’s needed to shed the weight. In all actuality, exercise isn’t that efficient when it comes to fat… Read more
Half Truths (Walk a Mile/Run a Mile…It’s All the Same)
Earlier in the week I wrote about stuff that I feel is overrated. I alluded to something that I feel gets mentioned quite a bit in the fitness community, and that I feel needs some sort of clarification. Namely, I’m referring to the notion that it doesn’t matter if someone walks a mile or runs… Read more
So Overrated….

I was half expecting to walk… Read more
Random Thoughts (Dehydration, Body Temp and Metabolism, and Training with Jen Heath)
1. I was catching up on some reading last week and came across an article written by Alwyn Cosgrove where he discussed some of his bullet point thoughts on fat loss. One “tip” that really stuck out for me was water intake and how most people fall woefully short in this category. While he can’t… Read more
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. At one point, the gang happened to get on the topic of “what’s your training philosophy,” or “what does your training look like?” To be honest I don’t really remember the exact question because… Read more
