In case you missed my tweet about this, you can find a version of our brand of (very) high intensity exercise in this video: I saw the white buffalo in the sky.

Gironda’s “Mass Gain” Shake
Fridays in my house are typically a low-food affair. Rather, most of the really simple to prepare things are gone and any meat is thawing or in the long water bath. If you've just come home from bouldering, as I have, what are you going to make that is full of thick, tasty, nutritious goodness? … Continue reading Gironda’s “Mass Gain” Shake
Insulin Sensitivity Means More Than You Think
Insulin is, by current accounts, the greatest scourge to a lean physique, long-term health, smart children, world peace, sexual competence, NAFTA, singularity, the economy, the rain forests, climate change, your mother, your father, and your brothers and sisters. In short, you should panic and throw yourself from the nearest window. Since the nearest window is … Continue reading Insulin Sensitivity Means More Than You Think
Review: Maximum Muscle
A few weeks ago, I received an email from our good friend JC over at JCDfitness, with a link and a simple message: "I can't believe this is free." What he linked me was to an ebook being offered by Matthew Perryman, titled (appropriately) "Maximum Muscle." Interest piqued and espresso pulled, I dove in for … Continue reading Review: Maximum Muscle
Training: Negative Only Shoulder Press and Pulldown
Just a couple more videos showing the Eccentric Edge piece for vertical press/pull work. The last video is a bit dark throughout but still gives you an idea after having seen the other videos...you do miss my power clean to get the lever up high enough, though.
Training: Negative Only Bench Press
I have attempted to explain this apparatus a few times to friends or on various message boards with poor results, so we finally took a video. Unless you're brutally strong (like Mark is) you don't need 2 people. Either of us could have moved the weight; it would have been a sizeable deadlift, but it … Continue reading Training: Negative Only Bench Press
Appetite – An Inquiry
I love sleep. Really. I get more than enough and nap like an 80 year old man, which is to say daily. My mother thought I had mono when I was in high school because I slept so much. This post isn't about sleep. Hibernation is something I find very interesting from a hormonal/metabolic standpoint. … Continue reading Appetite – An Inquiry
The Dream
Most fitness programs are the same and only differ in how they apply the basic elements of fitness and health: To get stronger/gain more muscle, you have to lift more weight or do more work. To lose fat, you will have to lower calories or burn more than you take in. To get better at … Continue reading The Dream
Integral Cross Training
A funny thing happens after a parent dies, especially when you feel it happened much, much too soon: you become Type-A with your hair on fire. Well, maybe not you, but in my case it was a nice reminder that death is very real and you have no idea how much you value your health … Continue reading Integral Cross Training
Nike Free vs. Vibram Five Fingers – Barefoot Supremacy
Never mind that the color pallette is nearly the same, this is about the claim from each that they mimick bare feet for running/jumping/peacocking. For the general ideas and arguments for and against being barefoot, check out this article, titled "How We're Wrecking Out Feet With Every Step," published in New York Magazine. That's not … Continue reading Nike Free vs. Vibram Five Fingers – Barefoot Supremacy
