Miscellaneous Miscellany Monday (My Mom Yelled At Me Edition)
It seems I committed the cardinal sin of blogging last week- and people are pissed. While I appreciated the notes and emails from various readers telling me to get my butt in gear and update the blog (I love you too everyone), it wasn’t until I called my mom last week to check in, that… Read more
Muggles Getting Jacked
Anyone who’s read mine or Eric’s articles will know how much we preach the importance of training environment as it relates to success in the gym. Simply put, it’s kinda hard to get fired up for max effort bench when you’re surrounded by housewives waving around their pink dumbbells and Celine Dion is blaring over… Read more
Q and A: My Ankle Has An Ouchie, Can I Still Train?
Q: Long-time listener, first-time caller. You probably get a ton of emails, and I don’t want to take up too much of your time, so I’ll keep this short.

Miscellaneous Miscellany Monday

Leg curls suck (sorry, you will never convince me otherwise) 3. Kim Kardashian’s badonkadonk should have its’ own zip code. 4. People have… Read more
Non-Monday Miscellaneous Miscellany (My Bad, Fight Night, and A Little Discussion on Hips)
1. In yesterday’s blog, I made a boo-boo. In short, I made a comment (about homeless people) that a few people didn’t take too kindly to-and looking back, I’ll be the first to admit that it was rather classless. Given the general tone of this blog, I often assume that most of my readers know… Read more
