Watching what you eat seems to become exponentially harder once Halloween hits, and that added pressure doesn't subside until the New Year. The holidays are festive.

Medical technology's involvement in the fitness world has never been more ubiquitous. This usually involves hormones and peptides.

So, I solicited questions for a question-and-answer session and took over an hour to answer two. The reason being that they were two rather important questions. The first question was how to deal with an aggressive sweet tooth, and the other question was about addiction. I hope you enjoy this episode. Please like, subscribe, and tell a friend. Than…

There is an idea of Michael Catherwood—Some sort of abstraction, something illusory. That was a line from "American Psycho," and I do not feel it applies to me. I focus this podcast around it, and as the title says, it is the best pod I've ever made. That is subjective, but I can certainly say this is the most meaningful and authentic podcast I've …

Following my adage, "Lose weight and get stronger," you will have a better-looking physique. This is not debatable. Many people will try to debate this, but they're dumb. I feel so profoundly sympathetic to people who are motivated to change their physique but are also confused by the contradicting voices in the new fitness world. Lose weight and g…

This episode is very good, but I don't know if it's good. I also don't want to pretend I'm very invested in it.

It wouldn't be prudent to do a Ladies Podcast if I didn't follow it up with a Men's Pod. Just so you know, both the mens and women's pod are very suitable for all listeners, each simply focuses on issues that are often gender specific.

You women tend to overly focus on certain things and not focus enough on others. That is not meant as an insult, it's just an observation. SO this episode is about correcting the course for all you ladies out there. Nutrition and training is relatively similar between the two sexes, but there are a couple small details that I have seen far too ofte…

I start this show by stating that I don't really like putting out content that doesn't, at least somewhat differentiate itself from other content.

Oftentimes, I have matched my…

I created a new program exclusively available at my patreon https://www.patreon.com/user?u=2666345&fan_landing=true. This Program is called SIMPLY THE BEST PROGRAM.

Listen. I am not an angry guy. Most people that know me on a personal level would support that claim. I do have a threshold, and when it is reached, I tend to lose my cool. Well, in this episode, my threshold was reached and I absolutely lose my cool. I stumbled across a fitness "influencer" who thinks it's ok to mimic and ridicule a developmentall…

I loved doing this episode because it really did come from the heart. I'm angered by the recent response to the episode I did with Judd Lienhard. Judd showed great wisdom and an open mind, yet people flamed him for it. Many people believe the world is binary. There is a right and wrong in their view, and I find that ludicrous. The human experience …

Judd Lienhard is a rare mix of awesome physique and high level performance. I loved talking to Judd because he has a very thoughtful approach to not only fitness but to life. Mixing speed, power and mobility in with hypertrophy is very wise but certainly not easy, so I enjoyed hearing how everyday folk could go about it. Follow Judd on Instagram an…

I really go hard in this episode. I want to hammer home the importance of diet. Far too many people ask me questions about training, which is important, but it's irrelevant if you can't eat properly.
