This past weekend, I had the honor and privilege of speaking at Andy McCloy and Luka Hocevar’s Built to Last Gym mentorship in Nashville, Tennessee.

From 2005-2015, I felt like I was on top of the Internet game. Writing articles and creating content for the biggest websites on the planet. Going around the world to speak and present at seminars. And of course, creating all those sexy DVD’s and manuals you’d come to grow and love 😉 But today’s post […]

If I’m being honest, there are numerous times over my career when I’ve struggled. When I was first getting started as a coach, I really struggled to find my coaching “persona” – to not only command a room when I needed to, but to have empathy and connection for my athletes as well. When Bill […]

Hey friend! Hope you’re doing well and having a great day. As you may or may not know, one of my primary goals in 2025 was to get more writing done. And one thing I used to do that people seemed to really enjoy were random update posts, articles and newsletters, so I think I’m […]
Continue Reading7 Workouts You Can Do in 20 Minutes (or Less!)
The other day, I had the “perfect” workout. I had the gym to myself, 90 minutes to train, and got to do every single thing my little heart desired. Now when you’re in your teens and 20’s, this is probably the norm. But what happens when you get older? When you don’t have 90, 60 […]

Well in typical MR fashion, I took what was supposed to be a short and sweet, bullet point post and made it into something much bigger! I really wanted to just give you some quick ideas to stimulate thought, but in that same vein it’s hard to just randomly drop ideas on you without at […]

Albert Einstein is famous for saying, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” So why do we do this when it coms to our health or fitness? We follow the same strength program… …make the same mistakes with our nutrition… …or we don’t take recovery seriously… […]

So the other day, I’m working with a new mentee and our goal is to figure out what’s holding him back. This guy was listening to podcasts, reading books, talking with other coaches – basically crushing it from the outside looking in. So why did he feel like he wasn’t getting any better? Like he […]

I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty freakin’ fired up for 2022. It feels like the last two years have overstayed their welcome, so I’m ready to jump into the new year and make some magic happen. Now I’m not a huge believer in New Year’s Resolutions, especially when the research shows most people […]
