Trends, no matter how old or young you are you end up succumbing to them. Sometimes, you succumb against your will and other times you do it gladly. Although I will likely reveal my seasoned age in years with this content, I admit, I am a part of the trends. What trends? Fitness Music Nutrition […]
There is without a single doubt that booty is IN. In 2014, music artists highlighted it and had their specific music singles reach the top of the charts, worldwide. So, is this a new “trend”? I mean, in the past it was all about a woman’s chest. Now, it’s “all about that bass”. As I […]
My heaviest barbell bench press is 425 pounds. My heaviest deadlift is 520 pounds. My heaviest squat is 495 pounds. They are my 1RMs aka One Rep Max. I can do a standing bicep curl with 100 pound dumbbells for a couple reps. Barbell curl with 175, and rep out dumbbell shoulder presses with the […]
I met a girl. She didn’t really go to the gym, but she “worked out”. When we met I was already a Pro bodybuilder. She had no idea what that meant exactly. She loved my smile, or so she says, but honestly I think the muscles got her. I introduced her to “the life” though, […]

A friend once said to me, “It wasn’t until I started to do squats that I began to really grow…” There’s not much that can really discredit that statement, and I completely agree with it. Legs are either the topic of jokes or the subject of praise. Hundreds of memes have surfaced joking about, if […]
I have a confession to make, I didn’t train yesterday. I didn’t train the day before yesterday or the day before that. Truth be told, I didn’t train at all last week. You read it right. I didn’t lift a single dumbbell, barbell, or weight plate. I did not even do so much as a […]
The wonderful world of natural bodybuilding. Let me start by saying that this piece will be full of my opinion, and those who do not agree with my views here, are completely entitled to their opposing opinion, respectfully. As a veteran natural pro bodybuilder for the better part of the last 8 years, I can […]
I’ll assume that we all know that free weights (i.e., dumbbells, barbells, weight plates) are the kings of the gym and the most necessary of all strength training. Some will say that the exercise machines are “bad for you”, while some will say that cable exercises are useless. It seems more and more that people […]
