ARTICLE: THE WORLD’S FITTEST BOOK In many ways The World’s Fittest Book is not just a book. It’s written to be more like an empowering literary rebellion! Based on the work of Brazilian educational theorist Paulo Freire and his concept of, “Conscientization ”, it promotes a critical way of thinking that teaches us to achieve […]
Horse Power Programming requires an understanding of training adaptation and the work of Robert Hickson and his research into “concurrent training”, so let me start with a brief back story… For those not familiar with concurrent training, this is where an athlete trains more than one fitness component (strength, speed or stamina) at equal amounts of […]

Conditioning and sculpting the physiology of the back can be tricky. Typically people want a V Taper with minimal lower back fat which can cause the dreaded “love handles”. Which is why I wanted to include: My training video for GQ Magazine My article on “love hands” On one page! No man wants lower back […]
