To be Big and Bulky or Lean and defined? That is the question.
For almost all of the 15 years that I have been working out, I have constantly struggled with this question: Do I want to be Big and Bulky or Lean and defined? It may sound like a stupid question, but it really is something that I, along with so many other people, ponder.
What would you [...]
Chuck Liddell KO’d
Last night’s UFC was pretty disappointing to most, with a lackluster championship fight to end the night. For me, it was the end of an era. Chuck “the Iceman” Liddell, one of the most dominating 205lb fighters the world has ever known, was knocked out again by Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. He’s lost 4 of his [...]
World’s Strongest Man workouts
I recently was watching the World’s Strongest Man contest on ESPN2 and was quite amazed at the strength that these men have. For those that don’t know what the WSM contest is, it pits men from different countries against each other in physical events that test every ounce of muscle and strength that they have. [...]
Easter Workout
Today is Easter; the day that Christ was resurrected from the dead after being crucified on the cross to pay for his sins. Families all over get together for a nice brunch, lunch, or dinner, and spend time together being thankful. There may be an Easter egg hunt for the kids, there may be some [...]

Child Obesity
How often do you go out to a restaurant or some kind of eatery and see a child that is completely overweight, eating far larger portions than they really should? My guess is a lot. Situations like this are becoming an epidemic where children are becoming largely obese at younger ages; there seems to be [...]
Friday’s Fat Blaster
Every Friday afternoon I gather a few of my hardcore gym friends for what I like to call Friday Funday. Fridays consist of a heart-pumping, sweat soaking workouts; roughly 35-40 straight minutes of hell that I like to put my friends through. This typically is our warm up before we get to the rest of [...]
The Mediterranean Diet
What is the “Mediterranean” diet?
As you know, The Mediterranean Sea is located in Europe, with at least 16 different countries that border it. That being said, what IS the Mediterranean diet? Honestly, there is no ONE true Mediterranean diet. With all the different countries bordering this body of water, the diets vary from region [...]
