Review: Body by Science, by Doug McGuff, MD and John Little

29. December 2008

If you buy only one book on exercise this year, I recommend Doug McGuff, MD and John Little’s Body by Science. If you buy only two books, I recommend getting a second copy of it because you’re going to want to share it with friends, and if you’re a trainer you’re going to want to [...]

Thank You!

To all my clients, past and present – Thank you! When I started personal training in college it was a way to make ends meet while doing something that interested me.

The very same assholes who’s site I wrote about in Bullshit Fat Loss Claims tried to comment spam that post. They wrote, “Hi, thanks for sharing that post.

Unfortunately, I’m not going to have the book finished in time for the holidays like I was hoping, but it should be ready within the next few months, and is shaping up to be better than what I had anticipated, although very different than what I had originally planned. Also, we still have to wait [...]

I was just going through my archived web site files looking for a photo when I came across a folder with an online journal from another site I had from 2001 to 2002. The following are a few training and diet related entries I found I think are still relevant, along with some of the [...]

The Iron, by Henry Rollins

8 Comments

A few years back someone posted a link in one of the high intensity training forums to an article by punk rock legend Henry Rollins in Details magazine titled The Iron. Every once in a while I re-read it, and every time I am moved by it. I believe hard physical work builds character, that [...]

Writing It Down

Over the past 16 years I’ve trained hundreds of people one-on-one and have probably advised thousands through phone and internet discussions.
