There’s only one true diet hack, and I’m about to share it with you. One word explains it all: CONSISTENCY. Pictured above is what the overwhelming majority of my diet looks like on a weekly basis, regardless of my goal. I credit that as one of the major reasons why setting and achieving new goals […]

“If someone is trying at the gym, but doesn’t really know what to do, or can’t seem to be consistent, this is the perfect program for it because it almost holds them accountable since they have a schedule to stick to. There are probably a lot of coaches out there that would throw the template […]

Treadmill, spin bike, and elliptical

I have some good news, and I have some bad news. Good news: tracking “calories burned” via wearable technology (Fitbit, Apple Watch, etc.) or on a piece of cardio equipment can be valuable. Bad news: The “calories burned” this equipment gives you is, at best, inaccurate, and at worst wildly off base. If you run […]

Dieting isn’t easy. There are tons of ups and downs. Progress isn’t linear, and we need to carefully make decisions in order to continue making progress.

Each day during this three-month cut, I’ve started with a challenge. That challenge has been to climb a 150-step staircase from the parking lot to the office each morning. I decided that would be my challenge every day during this cut to essentially start the day by getting in the right frame of mind. That […]
