Goblets, Smiths, Deads, Oh My
Don't be such a narrow-minded meathead. Open your eyes to exercise selection. I love deadlifting and squatting, and I mean that literally. I LOVE THEM! That does not mean that everyone has to do them. It also does not mean that the optimal routine must be very narrow.

Hard is Not Always that Intense
It's a very hard lesson to teach people, but the stronger and more advanced you become, the more capable you become of doing less overall work. You are doing "better" work at this point, but it's very hard to get this message through to people. I try on today's episode, so listen up, ok!

Stimulous, Adaptation and Fatigue
The new wave of online fitness influencers is causing a lot of problems. Honestly, it’s too many to list, and I’d run the risk of sounding like a bitter malcontent by listing all the reasons why I am not big and famous, and they are. It doesn’t make the veracity of my claims any less real, though. Online fitness has us all chasing things that are visually appealing, easily marketed, or both. This doesn’t leave much room to discuss their effectiveness or purpose. That's what I focus on today, the effective and purposeful way to go about doing all this crap.

Putos and Peptides
There have always been people who feel confident to talk about things that they shouldn't really be talking about. That's a tale as old as time, but now it's rather lucrative. Peptides are one of the biggest topics in health, thanks to GLP-1s like Ozempic for weight loss and other muscle-building, anti-aging chemicals. Today, I give a little background on what they are and how you should or shouldn't use them. Do me a favor and like/subscribe so that I can be happy.

Boy Kibble
I stumbled across one of the most egregiously dumb videos I've ever seen, and felt motivated to critique it, which is not something I like doing. This video was about national nutrition, and I feel very passionate about it. Please listen or watch and tell me what you think. Do me a favor and like/subscribe so that I can be happy.

Motives and Goals Have to Be a Team
We don't know how often our stated motive is actually false. You probably aren't lifting weights to get stronger or jogging to live longer; you are most likely doing it to look better. On today's episode, I explain how important it is to be aggressively honest with yourself to find true success. Do me a favor and like/subscribe so that I can be happy.
