The Scientist Asshole
Today, I found out I’m an asshole. This isn’t something you take lightly or try to sugarcoat with, “oh, I just have an edge to my writing,” More…
Dropping the F*Bomb
WARNING: This essay contains vulgar language. Don’t read it…
A health-industry figure posted on their Facebook wall an expression of disappointment that someone dropped the F*bomb on a fitness-radio interview while their child listened. That someone in the interview could have been me, I don’t know. I don’t have any beef with the guy, so I don’t want to mention him by name, but I did think it appropriate to voice my opinion on dropping the F*bomb.
Synthetic Wisdom Equals True Bullshit
I’m not one to complain, but for a society catapulted to the pinnacle of world power by scientific achievement, we sure do love mystics. Not mystics in the neo-cultural sense that read palms, the stars or numbers to tell the future; I’m talking about the vintage mystics, witch doctors of former times who keenly watched the world and codified observations into a manual for health, happiness and curing the common ailments.
Tribal witch doctors never understood why anything worked, so they couldn’t modify or deviate from their code; they only knew if A happened, do B and expect C. And if C didn’t happen, then it was time to beat something—maybe a person—with a blunt object.
Go CrossFit!
It’s time I devote an article to CrossFit, and in so doing, reveal the secret origins of a pillar of the CrossFit lifestyle, WOD. What most of you don’t know is that WOD did not originally stand for Workout Of the Day. More…
Interview With The Coroner
Note: I’ve been away for some time now, but I am back and ready to resume where I began: delivering cutting edge information, scientific explanations and practical applications. I noticed that as the length of my silence grew, questions accumulated and eventually—even rightfully—speculation arose about my untimely demise, speculation that was not limited to the Internet. More…
Don’t Trust Me
As I’m about to release an integrated plan, one for rapid fat loss while preserving muscle and the other for muscle gain while trying to lose fat (or at least not adding any), I want to make a strong statement, one that you’ll never hear from another person in this field and that you rarely hear from any person in any field: don’t trust me.

The Russians Are Coming
Are you ready for this? It’s a new secret plan from Russia for building ridiculous levels of muscle mass. More…
Neglect and Travel
As I gear up for my combination honeymoon and exploratory trip to Austria, I must apologize for neglecting my blog. Writing the last two posts on protein required a considerable amount of time to research, time I didn’t have. I could have blasted off some crap, the same crap you hear in the gym and read in the magazines, published my own opinion on the debate and left it at that. But I don’t play that way. I like to be right–as right as I can be–because it’s the only way this blog will be of true value to anyone. More…
Perspective: Read Now…
I write this blog for one reason: to help people reach their goals in the least amount of time, with the least amount of effort while spending the least amount of money. More…
Sacrifice
Sacrifice is the backbone of achievement, or so I’ve heard. To achieve anything noteworthy, or to simply stand out from the crowd, one must sacrifice a normal life in exchange for deprivation. No television; no nights out at the bar; no junk food; no sleeping in; no straying from the all-but-ignored, “Your body is a temple”. Has my life become one of unending sacrifice? More…
