Diet and Exercise
As I write this article, most of the world lives in isolation due to the outbreak of COVID-19. However, although the pandemic has been devastating in many ways, I urge you turn negative to positive working on something that you neglected before. For example, I recently posted a video on several hand-eye coordination exercises. I …
In connection with the recent outbreak of COVID-19 over the past few days, I have shared some videos with home exercises on social networks. How long readers will read, I have been a supporter of home / low-tech training for the past 20 years. With that in mind, I am pleased to share with you …
Achieving the goals of daily protein intake for decades is part of the lifestyle on which muscles are built, and over the years, studies have only confirmed its effectiveness. But the availability of this information does not facilitate the actual consumption of 1 gram per pound of body weight per day – or 0.8 grams, …

I will begin this article by discussing how I once did barbell exercises on a land mine without a ground station. This is not what the article is about, though. I just use my old temporary setup as an example for a much larger premise. Roughly speaking, make the most of what you have instead …
An easy day is not the most popular workout with many students, and we all know why. It's hard. Take the quadriceps: these are large muscles, and it takes a lot of work to properly train them. The result can be severe soreness the next day, as well as the next day, and possibly even …
If you are familiar with this blog, you probably saw me discussing discipline and motivation before. One of the most popular articles I've ever written was a short article on this subject (see here).
