Making A Comeback: Returning To The Gym With A Purpose
This week has been one hell of a roller coaster ride. First, news of fitness centers reopening. Yay! Then, a center that I serve at chooses to keep fitness training held back.

Training Success: Redefined
Writing your own training program is one of the most satisfying things you can write. Outside of, of course, writing an eventual FB top comment. But many don't do it. Instead, they follow a generic routine by their favorite influencer. Squat 4 sets of 10 superset with the hunt for the perfect gym lighting. Hip Thrusts … Continue reading Training Success: Redefined
Lessons from a Men’s Circle
I was dejected, hurt, saddened, frustrated... Not words a typical "MAN" uses, but I can't shrug it off anymore. Something was missing, and I think I know what.

Content Left Right Center
I swear, WordPress is a bitch (will I get banned writing this). Can't seem to create seperate tabs for Videos and All articles. Anyway, a lousy excuse for the lack of writing: At this point of time, between running workshops and attempting to be working on a book project, I'm depleted of motivation to write on … Continue reading Content Left Right Center
Do you need to Deadlift?
Never have I seen an exercise EXPLODE like the deadlift. I frequent several gyms that had members queuing for machines, to members queuing up Olympic bars. While I think it's a huge step forward (minus the unnecessary weight slamming and cringe-worthy technique), there are several misconceptions that needs addressing when it comes to the "The … Continue reading Do you need to Deadlift?
