Never Thought I’d Blog About This……

I know I’ve been absent for a few days, but lucky for you, I had seven bowls of awesome flakes this morning and I’m back with a vengeance.
The seminar this weekend was fantastic. It was great to see so many people make the trip out to Hudson and Cassandra touched on many topics that [...]

Seminar Reminder (With Grizzly Bears)

Just a reminder that we’re hosting a seminar this weekend at Cressey Performance, in Hudson, MA titled 21st Century Nutrition and Exercise for Women. Seats are still available and we’re anticipating a great turn-out to listen to Cassandra Forsythe and Eric Cressey speak on many of the myths dealing with women and their attitudes [...]

Real Girls DO Eat Meat

What a weekend. First, my girlfriend and I went to a house warming party in a swanky Boston suburb Saturday night and I actually didn’t want to kill myself. Yay me. Who knew rich people love to eat cheese and drink red wine while playing Nintendo Wii? High Five!

Second, I [...]

Wise-Guys (Stealing a Blog Post)

I didn’t have anything exciting to write about today (do I ever?), so I decided to “steal” a blog post from my friend Mehdi, of Stronglifts.com. Awhile back, Mehdi wrote on “How to Deal with The Wise-Guy.”

To sum up his thoughts, he wrote:
“Wise-guys are everywhere: work, family, relationships (”Wise-gal”), friends, gym, Internet, [...]

Fit People Go To Prison More Often (Unless You’re R. Kelly)

From the New York Times:
A new study that looked at the physical characteristics of about 5,000 Arkansas inmates found that most were athletically fit when they entered prison. The researchers referred to them as mesomorphs.
Oh, there were also endomorphs and ectomorphs — fatties and skinnies to the lay people. But the study found that they [...]

Cookie-Cutter Programs (mmmm, Cookies)

I was flipping through the channels on my television over the weekend and happened to come across my favorite** show, Workout on Bravo. I wrote a brief review for the paper version of The Herald a few months ago, that I think twelve people read. To recap, I basically stated under normal circumstances, [...]

21st Century Nutrition and Exercise for Women

On Sunday, June 29th, we will be hosting a seminar titled 21st Century Nutrition and Exercise for Women at Cressey Performance in Hudson, MA. To say that we’re excited is an understatement.
Cassandra Forsythe, co-author of The New Rules of Lifting for Women, and author of “The Perfect Body Diet,” will be covering topics that [...]

A Long Post on the Glute Medius (EXCITING!!!!)

Q: I read your article on T-nation regarding trigger points and I was thoroughly impressed. I have had extreme pain in my left hip abductors (I group them together in part because I am not 100% certain which one is the culprit). I have been using a tennis ball and foam roller to attempt [...]

Preparation H Makes Girls Want to Hang Out With You

First off I want to give Fox News a high five for actually running this story and deeming it “news” worthy (click link to view video of story). It’s nice to know that they realize what’s important and run stories that really make a difference in people’s lives. I wouldn’t be surprised if [...]

I Heart Trader Joe’s

For those who read this blog and have no idea what I’m referring to, Trader Joe’s is a specialty grocery store that is best-known for cutting out the middleman in order to bring their customers low-priced groceries and prepared frozen foods. Trader Joe’s has its roots in California, but its growing popularity has TJ’s popping [...]
