Would you like to do more chin ups? Would you like to have better results in less time? Maybe you would like to drive a convertible with your wind swept hair and waving your hand like you just don’t care? Me too.
Let’s start with chin up and work our way through to the convertible. (more…)
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you probably know that I am a big proponent of two aspects of fitness:
We love hacks. The quick fixes, the shortcuts, the simple solutions that promise to solve our most complex issues. Most hacks give us a false sense of hope that we can skip the long road ahead. They lure us away from the actual work in hopes of an easier way. (more…)
A major part of how you react to weight training comes down to the genetics that you were handed down by your parents. You could have two people following the exactly same training plan and getting different results. Even when all the variables of diet, rest, stress management, and whatnot, would be the same. The results vary even between siblings. (more…)
We all have times when we are on the verge of stopping because the goal just feels too enormous and intimidating. Maybe the goal looks like a small dot in the horizon. Maybe it feels like an unbearable mountain with vertical walls, jammed with barbed-wire and razor blade obstacles. And manned machine guns.

I got the idea for this week’s post after scrolling through Dan John’s online forum. Someone posted their five game changers that have given them the biggest boost towards a better health.
As I’ve written in the past I don’t always see health and fitness part of the same goal. You can be very fit but in poor health. On the other hand, you can’t be healthy without being at least somewhat fit.
Here are five game changers I’ve done that have made me a healthier human. (more…)
Call me a Doomsday Douglas but we are in the middle of a dark patch of ignorance as it comes to human body. Although medicine is taking giant leaps forward helping us to live longer, other advancements are making us comfortable of letting go. (more…)
I picked up a great advice from the recent episode of Bettercast with Steven Ledbetter and Julie Dirksen where they dwelled into the skills of teaching.
