If you refer a client to me that signs for at least a month of twice-a-week personal training (8 sessions), I will “pay it back” with 2 free sessions for yourself! If your referral signs for at least a month of once-a-week personal training (4 sessions), I will pay it back with 1 free session for you.
To say that David and Nikki are personal trainers is an understatement. They will change your life and take you places you never thought you could go before. This ability to push and believe in yourself spreads to other aspects of your life. You will learn to have less tolerance for bullshit and want better things for yourself.
I ripped both of my triceps tendons off at the elbows. My doctors and surgeon had never heard of anyone having this injury to both arms at the same time and made it clear that my lifting days were over.
Goals are arbitrary, right? They serve no larger purpose. “I want to be a bodybuilder“. Why? No reason given– “Because then I will be a bodybuilder!”, with arms thrown expressively into the air! Hooray! I have said before that you have to create your own purpose, that the universe will not come down and hand

Do you know Heaven? Have you had the blessed opportunity during your days on this planet to find that thing, that person, that activity or event or song or painting, that transformed this clump of mud into clouds and sky? Have you found your Heaven? Have you found your bliss, your rapture, your radiant awesomeness?
Do you know Heaven? And will you fight for it, now and forever? Will you never let it go?
You grab the edge of the Band-Aide, peeling up the very corner, ready to pull back, and you stop– there is a flash of hesitation and fear– you know that it’s going to hurt no matter how you remove it, that you can try to slowly peel it back and hope the pain is reduced,

As a general rule, I try not to use my website or email list as a means of sending out everything I find interesting. This documentary, however, was scientifically and philosophically awesome enough for me to bend my own rule. In 2004, Morgan Spurlock released the documentary “Supersize Me”, criticizing the fast food industry as

Note: If you missed yesterdays post regarding bodybuilding diet and meal planning you can read it on the Facebook page here… Bodybuilding Meal Plan While prepping for bodybuilding competition I generally keep training very simple, as I am an advocate of fairly low-volume, high-intensity training. Throughout the entire prep, I would train back and shoulders

While training for competition in 2010, I followed a very simple carb-cycle meal plan that was laid out for me by my coach, Dan Kelsey. I would kept protein consistent on all days, M-Su (approximately 300-340g). On training days (M/W/F), I would keep carbs moderate to high (250g) and fats trace; on non-training days (Tu/Th/Sa/Su),

So I decided I would be Wolverine, but my own version, without the genetic mutation. I would be impervious to pain, and guilt, and fear. I would make the decision to not let things touch me so deeply. I would learn to let it roll off my back.
The decision to be Wolverine, to be indestructible, is not something magically discovered. It is not something one is born with. It is a choice. It is choosing to fully accept and acknowledge the fact that only you are responsible for your own happiness; that the circumstantial and uncontrollable aspects of your life are ultimately irrelevant and contribute in no large part to your current place in life. Lining your soul with an adamantium skeleton and attacking life with adamantium claws is not hard-wired in one’s person.
