I’ll admit it. I kinda dig reality shows. Well some of them. Anything with “Jersey” in it I prefer to wait for The Soup highlights to catch all the bronzed-boobs, nip-slips and cat-fights. But adventure shows, I am “in.” Now, what if we had an adventure show that had a pretty cool premise (run around… Continue Reading

MovNat: Explore Your True Nature
It’s kinda funny…I’ve archived plenty of blog posts but I’ve never done it when I knew I’d not see the blog for 2-3 weeks. It’s kinda like writing material for your funeral or maybe I need to take more time away from social media more often. Wacky! Well, now that summer is settling in and folks are starting to… Continue Reading
Wylde On Health!
Hey there! Just wanted to share the links to our recent TV appearance on Wylde on Health. A huge thank you to Dr. Bryce Wylde for having me back on the show and thank you to Greg Carver of Strength Box for allowing us to film a segment in his Toronto facility. Dr. Wylde did… Continue Reading
My Training at 39
I receive quite a few emails asking what I’m up to with training and nutrition. Now seems like as good a time as any to do a little update on that. Birthdays are always a good point for reflection…see what’s working, what’s not and what trajectory you are on. (Note-I know the videos look terrible,… Continue Reading
Olympic Weightlifting: A Complete Guide for Athletes & Coaches
Hey Y’all! I get a number of emails related to training and the lions share of those involve the Olympic lifts. I cannot think of a better resource for the lifts than Greg Everett’s book Olympic Weightlifting: A Complete Guide for Athletes & Coaches. If you tinker with the lifts or derivatives at all, you owe it… Continue Reading
MovNat Day 5
We got to bed late last night and were up early this morning. No breakfast but we did brew up some stout cups of Yerba Mate to clear the fog and get us ready for our final day’s challenge. We started off retesting our first day movement standards and everyone smoked their previous performance despite… Continue Reading
MovNat Day 4
I wanted to mention Erwan’s presentation from last night as I put up the day 3 blog post before I saw it. The topic was human metabolism and it focused on the interplay of hormones such as insulin and growth hormone in performance, health and disease. For me it’s refreshing to arrive at an event… Continue Reading
MovNat Day 3
Today started…a little late. Everyone is fairly beat up from training so we slept in until about 8:30 and then fixed an epic breakfast to fuel us through the day. After breakfast we did a very low intensity warm-up/mobility session. This was performed on the grass, in the sun and it worked the aches and… Continue Reading
MovNat Day 2
To give context to a rather interesting breakthrough I had today I need to mention one of the movement screens we did first thing yesterday. In addition to hanging and squat mobility we performed a simple jump and land exercise that involved jumping from a 2”x4” piece of wood to another piece. The distance between… Continue Reading
MovNat-Day 1!
MovNat Day 1-Tuesday Richard did a fantastic review of the MovNat Awakening course he attended, make sure to check it out. I’ll try to not be too redundant but the Expansion course is similar in content to the Awakening course, so this is inevitable to some degree. We kicked the day off with a… Continue Reading
