My last post was well received and generated a few questions. Let's answer one: Excellent post Skyler and worth the wait! I’ve transitioned to more bodyweight style stuff myself (because I enjoy it and it’s where my interests lie). I still do some weighted work but lifting heavier and heavier just doesn’t make sense to … Continue reading Questions Answered: Parallettes

It’s about the lifestyle, stupid.
Typical dietary dogmatist, hunkered down in their foxholes waiting to rush the next front. BLAM! RUNRUNRUNRUNRUN! ... That must get tiring, right? Playing "mythbuster," building straw men to knock down, wearing your "I know nothing more than you" like a suit of armor. I get it; I've been there. Really, this stuff isn't that hard. … Continue reading It’s about the lifestyle, stupid.
How’s My Training (etc.) Been?
Just received this comment from Scott M: Hey Skyler, How’s it going? Wondering what your training frequency is like these days – still once every 5? Are you still doing mostly SS HIT with some old school weights thrown in? Still doing chaos training? How about diet – still paleo with carb cycling on workout … Continue reading How’s My Training (etc.) Been?

The 21 Convention 2014
It's back! The #1 men's conference in the known universe (and perhaps beyond) will be in Tampa this year from October 24th-26th, so Friday-Sunday . Take a look at the trailer: I spoke at the 21 Convention three years ago in an off-the-cuff version of my "Six Year Itch" post. I added some life lessons, some … Continue reading The 21 Convention 2014
HIT + Movement Training: The Ultimate Health Protocol?
Nothing like a hyperbolic title to get a person's attention! That said, I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Though in my early 30's, I think a great deal about the notion of sustainable training. That is, what are modalities that a person can take up in their life to improve their health that … Continue reading HIT + Movement Training: The Ultimate Health Protocol?
Inputs and Biological Responses
Michael Allen Smith, who writes entirely too much, recently wrote this about the messy notion of "Quantified Self." The link he provides gives you all you need to know about why humans tracking inputs into our biology leaves all sorts to be desired...the margin of error is just too much for any sort of meaningful … Continue reading Inputs and Biological Responses
Grand Unified Training Spectrum 2.0
Since posting a couple weeks ago, I've received some good feedback and had a few "duh" moments myself regarding how this should look. As much, I've already updated and improved the design, which now looks like this: So one of the things I've done is expanded the "general" section because there is more leeway in … Continue reading Grand Unified Training Spectrum 2.0
Grand Unified Training Spectrum.
I've been thinking a lot about movement lately. Rather, I've been doing a lot of movement, with emphasis on handstand work and other bodyweight-focused modalities. Coming from a HIT and academic background, this left a nagging feeling of "going off the reservation." That is, I am confident in what it takes from a training perspective … Continue reading Grand Unified Training Spectrum.
Regular Blogging vs. Specialty Blogging
So I've been writing over at our company website (www.efficientexercise.com/blog). What I'm doing is keeping all of the more "deep science" and personal thoughts on this blog, while using the EE blog for actionable blog posts. I'll link to my writing here when I post on the EE blog so you can check out those … Continue reading Regular Blogging vs. Specialty Blogging
