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 […]

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 […]

One of the most comical things I see both on social media – and on the Internet as a whole – are people trying to one-up each other about training. Don’t believe me? Here’s a perfect example: I mean, what could Eric possibly know? He’s only a 600+ pound deadlifter AND the Director of Player […]
