I actually don't believe in the term fitness expert. I don't consider myself an expert. I am a student of fitness. I consider the other bloggers, readers, people who comment, and product owners as one big mastermind. I soak up knowledge, look at and consider the newest philosophies and fine-tune my approach over time. What I recommend today is slightly different than what I would have recommended 2 years ago. Two years from now, it will be slightly different than today.

[I can easily understand how someone could be completely thrown off by all the conflicting advice online. With the Internet, this becomes even more confusing. There has never been so much information available at the click of a button.]

Almost an Unlimited Amount of Approaches Will Work

With fitness, there are so many effective approaches to achieving the same result. Take me for example…my favorite method of training is low volume heavy [...]

For the next little while, I will continue to post here while directing you over to the new blog.
Hopefully, you like the new design. It is still pretty barebones, but I will be adding new features and improving accessibility over the coming weeks.
Let me know shat you like and don’t like about the new design
Now, back to today’s post

another Health Habits transformation: The Healthy Irishman
A few weeks ago, the Healthy Irishman asked me to help transform himself from being merely healthy into something super-human.
And, considering how many posts he has written for Health Habits, I figured I owed him.
So, I put together a particularly nasty workout, beta tested it on one of my guinea pigs, and voila…starting Monday, the Irishman and his visiting younger brother will be putting on a freak show at the Venice Beach Gold’s Gym.
I will [...]

Attack that Turkey with peace of mind – KnuckleUp's got your back!

Ho Ho Ho!
This year, the Holidays started early at the gym. And we’ve already got you a gift!
We know how tough it can be to stay in shape when you have the combination Halloween candy – Thanksgiving turkey – Christmas ham attacking you right when it starts to get cold and all you want to do is eat and stay under the blankets.
So we’ve set up a special package to keep you from falling into the Holiday foodtrap:
Here’s what’s in your holiday fitness package:
1. An entire month of UNLIMITED membership (access to any classes, including jiu-jitsu and mma);
2. Pair of leather boxing gloves, handwraps, jump rope, and a cool KnuckleUp bag to carry it all;
3. TWO hour-long private training sessions (a $150 value).
Not to sound too infomercial-like, but if you add the entire package it comes to $350.
But you’re [...]

I find that grain bashing makes for a tasty, but ultimately unsatisfying meal.
You all know how much I love doing it, though. But no matter how often I sit down to dine on the stuff (and I’ve done it with great gusto in the past), I always leave the table feeling like I left something behind. Like maybe I wasn’t harsh enough about the danger of gluten, or I failed to really convey just how much I hated lectins. If I didn’t know better, I’d think the mere mention of grains was eliciting a crazy insulin-esque response and throwing my satiety hormones all out of whack. I was filling up on anti-grain talk, but I just couldn’t fill that void for long.
Well, I’ve got the hunger today, and this time I aim to stuff myself to the point of perpetual sickness. I don’t ever want to have to look at [...]

Have you ever been really down? Whether it’s about money, a relationship, friends, or just not being able to reach your goals, sometimes you reach a real point where you just want to give up and stop trying. This is where Pat Berry comes in and reminds you to get up, fight hard, and keep going strong no matter what the opposition.
I’ve often said that to be in top shape, you need to eat right and train hard, and that’s correct. But what I haven’t spoken about a lot is being in peak shape mentally as well as physically, where you literally give something all you got like there’s no tomorrow. Sometimes, when you really reach a downer, that’s the time to give all your heart and soul into getting up again and making sure you don’t look back, and don’t hold back.
Pat Berry is the perfect example of this. I’m going to be [...]

It’s the stuff of quintessential irony. Paradox. An absurdity so egregious it’s painful to type, let alone view on the screen. (There’s actual smoke rising from my keyboard….) We’re talking corporate “public health” sponsorships so ridiculous your eyes will fall out of your head. First, a show of hands. How many of you are familiar with the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP)? Sounds like a thoughtful, professional organization, yes? A group dedicated to noble and intelligent advocacy for good family health, no? Voices of expert reason, rational and practical medical authority, right? A group that would – with sound mind and sobriety – partner with a soda company for a nutrition-focused consumer education program??? Folks, I got my boots on today for a good old-fashioned butt kicking (blog style, that is). Pull up a chair. I’m just getting started.

Here’s the gist. The aforementioned Academy of Family Physicians recently partnered [...]
