There is something to bitch about which irks me beyond belief nearly every time I set foot in the gym.
I’m not talking about the personal trainers, the douchebags wearing nipple-chaffing muscle-tees nor the front-counter girl that holds less interest in swiping your membership card than she does about gently pressing her face against a sharpened knife.
No I’m not – I’m talking about the circuit trainer. (more…)
[Actual muffins picture above - Yes they are tasty, simple and will fill the 'gap']
Admittedly, I have a bit of a sweet tooth.
Rather than gorging on pure chocolate all the time (like I wish I could), I’ve come up with these high protein, low-carb muffins to help curb the cravings. (more…)
Possibly the most controversial and most talked about topic floating around the interwebs of late is that of meal frequency especially when it concerns intermittent fasting. Let’s try and get to the bottom of the question ‘How often should you eat, snack and should you skip breakfast?’.
According to pretty much everyone I know that’s ‘built’ and works in a gym, they’ll tell you that in order to build mountains of muscle, you need to be drip-feeding your body with 30grams of protein hand-prepared by virgins at any given moment. Forget 6-8 meals a day, I’m talking ingesting protein between breathes of air.
Reverse Pyramid Training or RPT, is a style of training I’ve quickly grown to love. I’m now a 2 weeks or so in, and feeling pretty good about myself. My lifts have gone up in every area and I feel pretty strong.
It largely goes against traditional body building methods – Normally, you might start with a weight you can do 10 reps with, then progressively ramp up your weight and reduce the number of reps as you go heavier.
This is where Reverse Pyramid Training is different and will see you starting your HEAVIEST weights on your first set (after a very light warmup).
If your goal is increased mass and strength, this might be THE technique you’ve been looking for.
(I’ll be tracking my own results over coming months and reporting back on my own experiences). (more…)
Sure it’s a broad statement – but I think you’ll find it’s more true that not once I start picking apart the cotton wool that surrounds your perception of society.
Firstly, people don’t read emails. They just don’t.
They might ‘receive’ the email, then glance over it.
That’s where it ends.
It’s fricken laziness people – Read the f*cking email, then I won’t need to explain myself 10 times over, nor will I have you email me back in a week asking a question that’s already been answered by the f*cking Bible.
Actual contents of email are usually non biblical. (more…)

Currently, I'm concentrating on Reverse Pyramid Training (4 workouts a week). I'm also using the lean gains intermittent fasting technique 5 times a week where I will fast for 16 hours. |
