You Probably Don't Need To Lose Weight
For most people, weight loss should be a consequence, not a goal, of getting in shape. The emphasize should be on developing new habits which are healthy for you, regardless of whether or not this impacts your weight in the short or long term. Most people face serious barriers to weight loss which render it not worthwhile as a primary goal.
The Only Strength Program That Ever Worked
I spent a decade of training that progressed a lot slower than it could have, because it turns out that one of the first strength programs I ever tried is (still) the best program I’ve ever used. I spent a long time trying out every strength training program under the sun, only to come back to this because it kept working.

I Genuinely Don’t Understand What You Like About AI
I don’t understand why we call LLM’s and generative models “AI” when it’s clear that this is far from any kind of general artificial intelligence. If you know how these LLM’s work, there’s not much magic to it, and it doesn’t always seem worth the effort to fight with an AI to find an answer to a question.

Advanced Methods For Making Infinite Gains
Most exercisers struggle to progress in the long run because they select exercise progressions which are too fast, and don’t have the right understanding of how to slow down progressions as gains slow down naturally over time.

In the long run, any progression can be sustainable, so long as you DO slow down the progression over time. In this post, I go over 3 advanced methods I use with my own workouts and with my clients to ensure that gains can progress indefinitely with minimal issue - adding volume, adding training sessions, and splitting volume up into more exercises.
There's No Magic Bullet: The Truth About Getting in Shape
There are no magic bullets to success in getting in shape. Crash diets, 30 day fitness challenges, and new supplements generally make strong promises and completely fail to deliver. If there’s anything close to a magic bullet, it’s seeking out a support system and learning to think long term, buckling down for the sustainable process of habit change.
