The Best Stretch For A Tight Lower Back
Every now and then, even I forget about the little things until they start to make themselves known. About two months ago, I spent around 4 days in a row sitting at the computer for much longer than normal since I was creating apparel designs & updating websites. My training schedule & intensity didn't change during this time either. So around day 3, I went into the gym for a leg day. I warmed up and started my first heavy working set. I believe I did 8 reps this night... The first 7 felt perfectly fine. On rep 8, I...
Don't Be A Mouth Breather
This is something I learned years ago. And surprisingly, not many people are aware of it. But please, please, don't be a mouth breather. Not only is it an unflattering look, mouth breathing is secretly responsible for a lot of conditions you wouldn't think of at first. You see, our nose processes air differently than our mouths.

Why You Should Smash Your Feet
Our connection with this Earth starts with our feet. No wonder so many people are out of sync with what makes us human... When is the last time you took off your shoes and walked in the grass? When is the last time you lifted barefoot? When is the last time you actually USED your feet? If you remember a while back, I mentioned that an issue in one part of your body can quickly lead to issues elsewhere. An ankle issue can cause pain in your neck. A knee issue can cause pain in your hips. A hip issue...
The Only Things I Drink
When I pause for a moment and take an honest assessment of my day-to-day habits, I really only drink 5 things on a regular basis... Water Red Bull ADABOLIC Black Coffee And Whiskey It would be "out of the ordinary" for me to consume any other liquid. And as you can see, I definitely don't "drink my calories." That's one of the sneaky ways tons of calories can enter your diet. When I first worked in an office right out of college, I immediately noticed who had cream & sugar with their coffees, and who didn't. Who drank the free...
