One of my most popular articles is on the topic of how skipping breakfast can be beneficial.

Something that’s extremely important, but perhaps we don’t think about very much, is what we put on our feet when we lift weights.

Week 3 was officially the first true frustration I’ve felt with this entire cut. It started with an injury, which led to a plateau. In the end, I’m still progressing so there’s really no need to worry. The week finished on a positive note with a couple solid training sessions and my weight dropping down […]
