The Quest to Conquer Modern Day Nutrition

by Leave a Comment

My never ending, lifelong quest to conquer modern day nutrition continues as I address the misunderstanding of key principles.

It seems that almost everyone has a problem with this or that, some kind of thyroid problem, some kind of metabolism problem, or more recently, some kind of problem due to a lack of eating MORE calories. I keep hearing, “I can never eat enough calories to lose weight.”

It may sound crazy, but more and more people keep telling me they don’t eat enough calories to lose weight.

I’m usually baffled, but again, it comes back to a lack of understanding of the key nutritional principles. [Read more…]

Master of Work: Jerry Rice

by Leave a Comment

Jerry Rice is widely considered one of the greatest to have ever played the game of football.

His legacy as as the NFL’s all-time best wide receiver will forever be cemented by a 20-year career with over 1,500 receptions, close 23,000 reception yards and 200 touchdowns — all NFL all-time records. He has also, at some point, held every single season record for a receiver.

  3. He came from an even smaller high school in Crawford, Mississippi (Population: 636)

After reading Arnold’s Total Recall, I felt an urge to explore the old stomping grounds of bodybuilding’s lore.

Inspired, I took the trip to throwdown at Gold’s Gym Venice, or as its known to many, the Mecca of Bodybuilding.

Walking through the doors, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe, as if entering the arena of a great battle.

My adrenaline was pumping, as I thought to myself, here I am, the exact place where some of the world’s most renowned bodybuilders carved their bodies, shaped their personas, and crafted their personal legend. [Read more…]

10 Rules by Arnold

The most inspiring book I’ve ever read was Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Naturally, when he released Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story, this time with much more years of experience and a lifetime of accomplishments, I was beyond excited to get into it.

However, when compared to his first, Total Recall could only be described as one thing: a let down.

It doesn’t have the same physical insights, and it doesn’t delve deep into the mind of a champion.

There is less adrenaline pumping and his hunger for success doesn’t seep through the pages like it did the first time. [Read more…]
