Most training programs live almost entirely in the sagittal plane.
Squat. Hinge. Press. Pull. Lunge. Run forward. Bike forward. None of that is bad. You need those things.
But if your program never asks you to produce, resist, control, or decelerate rotation, it is missing a massive piece of human...
When people talk about getting stronger, the conversation almost always revolves around absolute strength.
âHow much can you deadlift?â
âWhatâs your bench press?â
âWhatâs your max squat?â
Those numbers matter. Absolute strength is a valuable quality.
But thereâs another type of strength that often ...
People assume getting stronger and building muscle are the same thing, but hear me out.Â

This was one of those âwhat do I have in the fridge?â meals.
No grocery trip. No fancy ingredients. No measuring cups! đł
I eyeballed everything. And it turned out pretty damn good.

Most people are wired to believe one thing about training:
More is better. Heavier is better. More sessions is better. Longer sessions is better.
More sets, more reps, more miles, more suffering⌠more progress.
And maybe sometimes thatâs true.
But a lot of the time, that mindset just turns into mo...
There was a time when I didnât fully realize just how much stepping into the gym would impact my life. At first, it was about getting stronger, moving better, and feeling good in my own skin. But over time, training became so much more than just lifting weights or hitting a new PR. It became the fou...
When I first started actually giving a shit about my nutrition, it wasnât because I suddenly loved tracking food or reading labels.
It was because I knewâvery clearlyâthat if I wanted a better looking body and better health, nutrition was the lever I couldnât ignore anymore.

Have you ever stepped away from heavy lifting for a while, did more aerobic-focused training â maybe trained for a race, spent more time cycling or on your MTB â and then came back to heavier lifts thinking, âWhy does this feel⌠better?â
Thatâs not placebo.
This shows up for runners. Cyclists. Hyb...

This blog breaks down the real reasons you're not getti...
Every year from Thanksgiving to New Yearâs Day, people spiral over the same fear:
âI ate too much⌠did I ruin my progress?â or âI have three holiday parties this week⌠I'm doomed!â
Truth: a giant meal... or even a few days of big meals... does NOT make or break your fitness, your physique, or your h...
While brainstorming for a new cycle that will start at the beginning of December, I realized that at this point in time, very rarely does anyone in the strength & conditioning world "reinvent the wheel."
