Most people aren’t going to debate whether or not the deadlift is a fantastic strength builder. It recruits more muscle fibers than just about any other exercise, and trains your body to work as a unit. This strength tends to carry over well into real-life functional strength, which of course is great for your health. […]
We all know the feeling. You’ve stalled with your weight loss, the scale refusing to budge, and you begin to lose hope. You’ve been working so hard, yet the hard work with your diet and training is no longer paying off. Why is fat loss so hard? How can I make it less brutal? Dieting […]
The mistakes I’m about to describe are very common. You see them everywhere, and actually, they’re so obvious you may be thinking “well duh”. Gym rats, bodybuilders (particularly old-school), bums and tums, all the way to your average Joe. Everyone still falls into the same traps. I have been guilty of one or two, and I […]
As it’s prime dieting season for most of us, I thought now is a good time to write a post on some of the best foods to consume when dieting. Of course, this is subjective, and is based on my personal experiences. And when I say “satiating”, I mean on calorie for calorie basis. We […]

I’ve been reflecting recently on my past seven years in the fitness game, and I have loved it, don’t get me wrong. I’ve spoken before about the many benefits of fitness success that carry over into the rest of your life. However, I couldn’t help but notice that I have made a lot of mistakes. […]
I’ve been speaking to guys recently who have lost motivation with their work projects, goals and have lost their hunger for life in general. “Why do I not want to go to the gym anymore?” “Why do I struggle to get out of bed every morning?” Of course, I don’t always have the answers, and […]

This may seem like a daft question, and most of you who have been reading this blog for a while may already know the answer to this question. But, I was reading an article in a Men’s Health magazine recently which triggered this question. Yes, before you ask, it was purely for entertainment purposes, as […]
