Improve your physique and happiness This is one of those massively field tested techniques that can be applied to any endeavour that you’re trying to improve at. I personally have used this to improve my physique over time. I used it to lower my body fat set-point from 16% to 8-10% over a three year period, all whilst having the […]
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 […]

It seems that many of you have an irrational fear of cardio and its muscle-burning potential. Let me assure you that this fear is indeed irrational. As always, 80% of your body composition is determined by your diet, so as long as you don’t starve yourself, your cardio will not burn through all your muscle. Make […]
Let me start by saying that you will always mess up occasionally, and that no dieting structure will make you completely invincible. But, IF will decrease your fail rate tremendously.
