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.
High protein. Low fat. Easy to meal prep. Took maybe 10 minutes to throw together.
I made it two ways:

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.
Training mattered. A l...
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...
If youâre training consistently but not getting stronger, youâre not alone and youâre not broken. Strength is extremely predictable when you follow the fundamentals. Most plateaus come from a handful of issues that stop the body from adapting.
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."
Most ânewâ training trends are just old methods with better branding. The truth is, a lot of wh...
For years, the strength world and the endurance world pretended like they were enemies.
Lifters said cardio would kill gains.
Runners said heavy strength made you slow.
Meanwhile, the strongest, most resilient, most capable humans were doing both.
This is concurrent training: you build strength an...
You might hate to hear this:
Thereâs a very high chance itâs not your hormonesâ fault that you canât lose weight, that youâre gaining weight, or that you canât build muscle.
Hormones are an easy scapegoat. Theyâre invisible, mysterious, and outside of what most people feel they can control. So whe...
Cycle syncing workouts is gaining popularity... yes, I'm talking about women training on their dreaded period (dudes, don't shy away â this one might be interesting for you, too.)
Dr. Stacy Sims has been pioneering this movement, and she makes some pretty good points about tailoring training and nu...
The hardest thing about fitness coaching isnât writing programs.
Itâs not exercise science, picking the ârightâ rep scheme, or choosing whether you should be doing barbell squats or Bulgarian split squats.
The truth is... the fitness program matters the least.đ€«
What matters most?
Your lifestyle. W...
