The best way to develop young athletes?

Play multiple sports. I went to a basketball camp one summer when I was just a wee lad. The head instructor said that if you only play one sport, you should be exceptionally good at it. If you play more than one sport, your skills in each will degrade accordingly. Every single person I talk to that played against, or alongside, a professional athlete when

How to be Mindful of Your Mindless Eating

So, it’s been like, 6 months since my last post. Not exactly the best way to create a loyal readership following. My fault. (Sad squirrel) I’ve had quite a few things I’ve liked to post about, as well as have a guest post just sitting, waiting to be published. Again, I say, “my fault.” Anyways, this is gonna be super-quick. I could go into detail

How Big Do Your Arms Need To Be Before You Can Get A 1/4 Sleeve Tattoo?

For about the past 2 years, I have really wanted a 1/4 sleeve tattoo. Initially, I didn’t have the money, but I had determined for myself that the gunz were big enough to support such an attention grabber. Now, I do have the money, but thanks to the success of my fatloss (and some muscle atrophy), I’m only rockin 13.75″ cannons. (They look real nice

Women’s self-defense in Plymouth, MN

Am I a coffee addict? Are you?

At what point do you consider that a substance is “controlling you”?   I ask, not because I think I’m being controlled, but simply, because I really really enjoy the effects of coffee and sometimes feel like I can’t make it through the workday without having a travel mug worth….or two. This also stems from what I consider an asinine comment made by someone on

Lose Muscle Mass? On Purpose?!

Yup, you read that correctly. According to my co-worker, I’m losing my pump. No. Actually, he says that I’ve lost my pump and that he’s going to take over this website since he has done an amazing job of adding nearly 20lb. of mass over the past 9-10 months. Wait, screw him. I’m still stronger, I just don’t have the mass. Plus, this site isn’t

How Important is Your Diet?

This thought occured to me as I was talking with a client tonight. (Yes, it hurt a little; no, it’s not original or earth shattering.) “If you only exercising for 3 hours a week, what are you doing the other 165 hours to make sure you don’t demolish all that you’re working for?”

“Hey, ‘Athlete Deflator’, where have you been?”

Don’t you worry your little faces off. I’ve been around. Some might say that I am omnipresent. But in all seriousness, I’ve been given real engineering work so all of my time to write greatness has been stuffed into a proverbial corner (after work and on the weekends).
