Bacon is incredible. I could stop there, but I better make this post FFOTB.com worthy. Not only in bacon an incredible blessing, it’s popularity has exploded in recent years. Hipsters, festivals, exercise aficionados, and the Paleo movement have all raised the bacon pedestal just a bit higher. The incredible taste and, like Michael Jordan, bacon’s [...]

I am sitting here after sweeping the floor of the office at the new gym (DEUCE Gym) for at least the sixth or seventh time. We are once again tired and covered in dirt, paint, and Lord knows what else.  Throughout the past week, we have torn out metal walls, sawed, jackhammered, sledgehammered, and cussed [...]

Look at these people. Look at them very carefully. All of them. They aren’t normal. These physical specimen are cut from a different cloth. With years of experiences as professional athletes, trained killers, and military conditioned fitness levels, they truly are “elite.” As the tip of the spear, these individuals eat, dress, walk, and talk [...]

There’s something beautiful about being cornered. I mean, if it’s for something positive it’s great. You’ve got only one option. And, that is to do the thing. Take this blog, for example.

Are there those few strangers in your life that you don’t really know, but you see on a daily basis? Being on the bluffs every day puts me literally on the path of the routines of many strangers on a daily basis. There are walkers, runners, dog owners, commuters, and workers that I see on [...]

In continued examination of programing and deciphering “good workouts” from the rest of the pack, I’d like to point to this week as a sample. You see, we all have natural biases. And like in the linked post above that debunks the opinion that some workouts here are better than others, it’s critical to recognize [...]

Our good friends down at HeyDay Elite Fitness in San Pedro are putting together a great event for a great cause. My company, ORIGINAL Nutritionals, was there last year and this year is set to be even better. After the great fun we had at Femme Royale, I want to extend an invitation to you [...]

Sport has and always will be a venue for the good in humanity. All the ingredients, including adversity, pain, triumph, sacrifice, and emotion, seem to always put on a wonderful display of humanity. It’s only natural for evil beings in this world to attack something so pure in this way. It’s the antithesis of evil. [...]
