Friday’s Training Session: 10 Minute Challenge

For the past couple of months, I’ve been reading, and re-reading, Ross Enamait’s Never Gymless.  He has some very intense routines in this body weight training manual, that are definitely not for beginners.

Well, just like Ole’ Coach Maxwell, Ross loves doing burpees!  I’m going to be honest with you fellas, I’ve always hated doing burpees. Mainly because they’re HARD!

I’ve even blogged about the top five reasons I hate doing them. Nevertheless, I felt today was the day that I would quit avoiding them. (more…)

Obese Cop Reinstated, Then Put On Paid Leave

In Bellevue, Nebraska, Officer Chris Parent was reinstated two years after he was fired for not passing the state test to handle a gun. He failed the test because he is morbidly obese, as this brief CNN clip shows:

The twist to the story that the CNN video doesn’t mention is that once Parent arrived to the station for his first day of work, he was immediately placed on paid leave, pending that he passes a Medical examination and, you guessed it, the state test to handle a gun.

Looking at Officer Parent’s current size, I think it’s safe to assume that his reinstatement will be short lived.

But, is this a trend that we’re going to start to see more of fellas?  Are more police officers, firemen, etc. going to start being released because of their size?

Leave a comment and let me know.

Videos Section added to MLBF’s Blog

Well fellas, it appears that I’ve finally made the plunge into adding video to my blog.  I’ve resisted for a while because it seemed like one more thing that I had to learn.

However, this simplicity does come with major limitations.  The audio in all of my vids are horrible, and I apologize for this. (more…)

MrLowBodyFat Exposed …

Ok guys, I’ve received many emails about how I’m looking nowadays.  I thought that my periodic posting of pics to FB would be enough, but that’s OK because I know why you guys keep asking for pictures.

In this day of internet scam artists and photoshop, you don’t know who’s real or a phony!  Also, and  let’s be honest, you want to know if I have kept the fat off or did I join the rest of the “re-gain 30 pounds and think that’s OK crew”.  (more…)

Are Professional Eaters Gluttons or Athletes?

Now, I’m not saying whether or not this is the healthiest form of competition that we as a species partake in, but I do find it particularly interesting that the top five professional eaters according to the International Federation of Competitive Eaters.

I thought that I would blog about these guys because I watched the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest a couple of weeks back and was blown away that I could count on one hand the number of obese competitors. (more…)
