Fat Loss Lessons I’ve Learned This Summer …

Yeah, I know that the summer is not officially over just yet; however, my college’s semester started more than a month ago.  So, for me, the summer has been officially over for some time now …

Today, I thought that I would post some of the lessons that I’ve learned over the last 3-4 months because I think that these lessons will help you guys with your fat loss journeys too. (more…)

Start A Video Training Log

Even though my wife thinks I just like looking at myself on video, she doesn’t quite understand exactly why I watch my videos.  And, it’s not entirely for narcissistic purposes

A couple of months ago, I had links to my training logs, which I enjoyed posting.  However, it became twice as much work because I would be essentially putting up a blog post in my log on an almost daily basis. (more…)

The Biggest Loser Pros And Cons: An In-Depth Review

Hey fellas, one of my fat loss mentors, Tom Venuto, posted a controversial article to his blog this week about the very popular “Biggest Loser” television show.

It’s called “The Biggest Loser Pros And Cons: An In-Depth Review of Television’s Most Popular Reality Show”

An Alternative View of Discipline

If I had some semblance of discipline, then I wouldn’t have let myself get to over 300 pounds in the first place.  And, I won’t even mention the guilt trips I gave myself for lacking self-discipline when I tried and failed so many times to lose fat. (more…)

Mastering Your Body’s Weight

As I get older, the more and more I think about my health and fitness goals.  You guys already know that I’m a big fan of doing bodyweight exercises (BWEs).

So, I’m sure it comes as no surprise that one of my goals is to master my own body’s weight.  I’ll start slowly with making 2010 the year that I do my first muscle up. (more…)
