“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” - Leonardo DaVinci

Time to get back to basics. Starting in September, I limited my training to the use of kettlebells, resistance bands and suspension straps. Those are my tools for the next few months.

Check out my current post and outdoor training regimen. 

It seems that every generation has its nutritional demon. Fat was unfairly and incorrectly assaulted in the 70’s and 80’s. Now it is carbs turn for the beating. Even protein has taken its lumps along the way, albeit, more aimed at the source of protein. 

Truth? Everyone is wrong!  

Check out my take on the biggest problem with the American diet and what to do about it. 

When you hit forty, do you change the way you train? Do you change how you eat and is it time to slow down? 
In this post, these are the questions I look at now that I am in my next decade of life.

In training outdoors for the past two years, I have experimented with and accumulated allot of equipment. The equipment helped add variety to my training, but it was getting to be a bit much. 

I wanted to get back to basics. I started to brainstorm on what was the least amount of equipment I could bring with me and still be able to do resistance training in addition to my calisthenic movements. 

Here is what I learned...

Two months into 2017 and I have not made any new years resolutions. No promises that I am not going to keep. This year, I chose what I am going to struggle with. 

With only so much energy, what efforts are worth it? 

Farm raised or wild caught? Which one are you? 

Lions in a zoo live longer than their wild compatriots. Would you rather be the lion in a zoo or the one in the wild?

Pressing the bar up, I had a sharp pain in my shoulder. This wasn't the first time, nor the second. My shoulders were sending me a message, no more bench pressing. 

In the search for a bench press replacement, I turned to dips as my primary mass builder.

This post takes a look at my experience.

Find your' strengths or train long enough and they find you. 

I am built the way I am built. I try to work my strengths. I will never be a marathoner, or a powerlifter. Too big and too small, respectively. 

In this post I review my latest training regimen that borrows from gymnastics training to build my strengths.  

If training is supposed to help us with regular movements and athletics, then why don't the movements we practice ever resemble what we actually do? 

In this post I look at the benefits of unilateral movements as well as some of my favorite exercises. 

The fastest human on record is Usain Bolt. In 2009 he hit over 27 MPH in the 100 meter sprint. 

The average person is much slower. I don't want to be average. I want to be fast. 

An Equinox gym I passed in NYC had a picture in the window of an athlete performing pushups and an athlete performing an L-sit. I was walking to John Jay park on 77 st to get a quick workout in.

I am not sure how much Equinox charges, but the park is free.
