Today I was truly fatigued and so I did 45 mins on the bike trainer and a bunch of bodyweight stuff like push-ups, handstands, squats, calf raises, jump rope, etc. Oh yeah, by fatigued I mean weak… I still seem to have plenty of endurance left. I am now (after 5 days) fully, undoubtedly in [...]
Ketogenic Diets, Protein Sparing Modified Fasting & Low Carbs - oh my!
Well folks, I usually abhor dieting as a fad and can honestly say that 98% of the crap I’ve read in books, magazines and websites has not only been crap but is likely to do you way more harm than good. I’m not denying [...]
And Happy Holidays to all of you, have a great new year! Saturday’s workout was:
Complete as many rounds as you can in twenty minutes of:
10 Pull-ups
7 Handstand Push-ups
Rope climb, 15 ft
7 Ring Dips
And today’s Christmas Eve workout is a nice, easy 5k run. I’ll probably substitute it for 25 minutes on the bicycle trainer.
Take care [...]
First, let me say that I didn’t do a very hardcore workout today and I’ll give a bit more detail in the update that follows. Here’s the workout:
6 rounds of 1 minute rope jumping, averaging 100-200 jumps per minute, varying the style such as double-unders, alternating feet, two feet at once, knee to chest, etc.
2 [...]
Five rounds for max reps of:
Body weight bench press
Pull-ups

As many of you might have figured out based on my choice of daily exercise, I am a big fan of intense interval training of all flavors. The sort I’ve found most likely to make you keel over and puke is often referred to as “Tabata intervals” and requires you to work for 20 seconds, [...]
Today’s workout was to complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as I could of:
Run 400 meters
Max rep Pull-ups
I didn’t keep track of how many I did, but I can tell you the pull-ups were insanely difficult after sprinting a quarter of a mile. They’re definately improving after having done them daily for the last [...]
I’m not so sure I like the idea of the gov’t telling us what we can and cannot serve; however, trans-fats are poison and in this instance I can’t see the harm. I do not think it’s a slippery slope at all… more thoughts later, perhaps.

This is one of my favorite compound exercises. It works your entire body to some degree, though it focuses mainly on core strength. I couldn’t really find a ton of good, in depth articles to show you guys off of the net - but there was one that seemed very good here! The CrossFit exercise [...]
Sometimes when you’re just starting out, or coming to one realm of fitness from another (say running to weightlifting), learning all of the different exercises can be overwhelming. Not only are there thousands of exercises, it can seem there are equally different ways to do each one! One might waste plenty of time scouring the [...]
