So all this time you believed that being considered a cockyshithead (CSH) was an insult? Guess again! Whether it be movie characters like Katharine Parker and Zack Mayo or real-life individuals from my own actual life experience, CSHs are a tremendous source of fascination for me. ...

Forget the numbers
You are not a number. Who you are cannot be represented by a number on a scale, by a calendar, or in a checkbook. The world makes assumptions based on numbers, but we can choose not to adhere to them by teaching ourselves to access the true core of our existence and see beyond these assumptions. This...

Start with ONE
The push-up, with its multi-faceted muscle toning benefits, should become your best buddy. It's not a new move, by any means, but many beginning-to-intermediate exercisers avoid it due to a misguided belief that they "can't do them". BZZZZZZZZZ...sorry, I'm going to need a judge's ruling on that: YES.YOU. CAN. It is simply a matter of learning the technique and... Continue Reading →
Oh say, can you see beyond the scale?
As I've said before, nothing helps change my perspective like a visual. As you can see from the above photo, 5 lbs of fat may be equal to 5 lbs of muscle in weight, but it is clearly not equal in volume. Another good reason why we need encouragement not to live by the number... Continue Reading →
Let your “can’t” be “can’t YET”

To begin: get over yourself
I'm asking you to get over yourself, but the bad news is that I can't tell you exactly how to do it. Before you turn on me and get all up in arms in the belief that I'd endeavor to lead you blindly to a destination unknown to me, let me rephrase: The bad news... Continue Reading →
Like Ethan Hunt- I’m working on it
I'm not a spy. Let me rephrase that: I'm not a spy that I'm aware of per se but I'm never one to rule out the possibility that perhaps my current life is merely one I'm living out due to a case of amnesia so severe that not only am I oblivious to the fact that... Continue Reading →
Behind my 6 word mantra
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kez1t4cnAhU&t=9s Early morning is my favorite time of the day. I've always been an earlier riser, but that said, I've always found 4-6 am to be an especially sensitive time of day. Combine this with my heightened sense of smell and empathic abilities and you have a recipe for a potential early morning emo breakdown,... Continue Reading →
It’s all about PFG
As a coach, trainer, and fellow human being, I believe there is one thing above all else that will fuel your fitness journey and that is the desire for personal development, or what I refer to as Personal Fucking Growth. Yes, I said the F word, because I want you to get this and I want you... Continue Reading →
