I have hit another plateau:( When this happens I tend to get really depressed and think I will never get to my goal. I know that I stalled my progress by getting far too comfortable with my diet and having a cheat day every week. I am now in the process of changing this. I…

Obviously, especially to those who know what “Vanity Muscles” are, this is a joke. . . This is not an actual anatomy lesson, but rather, one of those warnings on how to not be “that guy.” Have you ever seen someone in the gym training biceps, exclusively, for 45 minutes? Have you talked to someone…

This is a short and sweet entry. I just want to remind all of you that you can achieve your goals if you never give up. Health/fitness can be very frustrating at times, it can leave you feeling hopeless and like all your efforts are for naught. But if you keep on learning more, experimenting,…
