I must admit, I’ve often dreamed of the life I have right now, minus the scary virus of course. Because I’m not able to work from home, my time is pretty much my own. I always thought how wonderful it would be to be so financially secure that I did not have to work – like …
Hello, fellow homebodies! How are you doing today? Do you know what day it even is? It’s been almost a week since I’ve been in complete lockdown where I live, and I must say its been alternatively great and frustrating, depending on my current mood. It’s also a good way to practice gratitude for my own privileged situation. Certainly …
I like to have control. You’re probably thinking sure, you and everyone else. But as a (relatively) young professional with a stable job, I admit that not many things feel out of my control, at least most of the time. Not things that matter, anyway. I am blessed, and I try to think of that with …
You look tired. That’s not the most flattering thing to say to someone, but I see you. You’re a hard worker. You don’t take rest days. You don’t need them. After all, your gains might go away.

Yes, bro, I used to be like you. I thought supplements were important, a mark of whether you were a serious gym rat or just messing around on the treadmill or something. Want to build serious muscle? Get a pre-workout in before your lift session, bro. You want to gain size? Grab your shaker bottle …
A colleague that I trained a few times recently approached me and confessed that he wasn’t a “weights guy”, and he asked for help on how to work out without a gym. He had to travel often to see family, and he wasn’t willing to commit to a membership at a regular fitness center. Having …
Okay, I have a confession to make. I am judging you when I’m in the gym with you. This does not mean that I think I’m better than you – you might very well be able to kick the crap out of me. But I am still judging you, for a variety of reasons. That machine you’re using, …
