Random Friday Thoughts (I don’t care if it’s cliche)
First off, my apologies for being a major blog slacker this week. I promise to return with a vengeance. I wanted to wrap up this week with some random thoughts on training, nutrition, and anything else on my mind.
1. Chris Shugart wrote a really interesting article on t-nation this week, a consumer reports of new [...]
The Misconception of Color
There is a prevailing belief in mainstream media and actually in highly educated nutrition experts that in order for a fruit or vegetable to have maximal nutritrional benefits, it must be rich in color. In many cases this is completely true. When you are eating a fruit or veggie that is colorful, such as a [...]
Incan Warrior Breakfast
This recipe is a take on the one Chris Shugart posted on T-nation a little while back. It is excellent and you can take it in a number of directions. This can be utilized at breakfast or as an awesome post-training meal. I am going to post the easiest way to make this recipe, so [...]
The Continuing Education of BSP

Mother of all Grains

“We recommend you not exceed 3, 5, and 8lb weights for this workout. You’ll get better results if you [...]
Almonds and Gamma Rays?
This week’s food of choice is one that nearly everyone is familiar with and “knows” is good for them, but do they really know why? Lets find out.
Today we talk about Almonds. Almonds are fantastic little nuts that provide us with tons of nutrients that you can see just from reading the nutrition label. They [...]
Exercise Videos!!!
OK, so I get a lot of questions from friends/family/random people on the internet about proper exercise execution. It can be tricky. You walk into any commercial gym setting and you will see just loads of atrocious form, rounded spines, and just general tomfoolery. Well fortunately for all of you brilliant enough to read my [...]
