I’m Taking Over the Internet. But Not Really
I’ll be heading out to sunny LA this weekend to meet up with Dean Somerset for our last go at the Complete Shoulder & Hip Workshop of 2015. We’ve been on a tear lately with stops in Edmonton, St. Louis, and Chicago earlier this fall, and I hope people aren’t starting to get Dean and… Read more
Altitude Training Masks: Helpful or Hyperbole?
Lisa and I decided we were due for a little getaway. We’re back in my stomping grounds in central New York (specifically the Finger Lakes Region) to visit family and to partake in some long-anticipated vineyard exploring/wine tasting shenanigans. Otherwise known as Tony drives Lisa to a shit-ton of wineries. We’re having an amazing time… Read more
Thoughts on “Dad Bod”
I think it was a year or two ago when the term “thigh gap” was all the rage. It seemed I couldn’t log onto any of my social media accounts or peruse the internet without being bombarded by the phrase. The premise was pretty dumb. Women (not all of them mind you) were transfixed by… Read more

I just wanted to be straight forward from the get go that what follows is an endorsement for Examine.com’s Research Digest. I love what they do and what… Read more
What’s Your Problem?
Don’t worry I’m not trying to be confrontational or anything. The title of today’s post is actually the same title as a chapter in the book I just finished, Think Like a Freak by Steven Levitt & Stephen Dubner (AKA: the same guys who wrote Freakonomics and Superfreakonomics, both of which are fantastic as well.)… Read more
Functional Stability Training for the Upper Body
Eric Cressey and Mike Reinold (otherwise known as Erik Cressnold) released their latest module in their Functional Stability Training series, Functional Stability Training for the Upper Body, yesterday and I’m excited for a few reasons. 1. I’m not going to sit here, blow rainbows up your ass, wax poetic, and say that this product is… Read more
