    When it comes to being happy with your life in any way whether it be with your body, your level of fitness, your relationships, etc. it's important to hone in on the disparity between two things.

        • Mindset Monday: Why Not to Copy Someone Else's Workout

          It's tempting to do the workout you see posted by your favorite celebrity or athlete on social media, but doing this may prevent you from making the type of progress you're striving for and neglects the need to vary workouts based on body type, genetics, and sometimes use of steroids.

        • Episode 163: Explaining Bro Science (Tips That Made Me Fat)

          In this episode I dispel some common "bro science" myths that held me back in the past, and that I get asked about often, including: protein absorption (your body can only absorb x protein at a time), protein/meal timing and its importance, muscle protein synthesis, and the need to "shock/confuse" the muscle (plus can you "tone" muscle?). The anabolic window is also discussed as is anabolism and catabolism in general.
