Keith and I are thrilled to be 2 of the founding members [...]

“The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution.” – Bertrand Russell Ok, big BIG news today, y’all. Check it out: PaleoFX Austin Partners, a leading organization dedicated to educating fitness, nutrition, healthcare professionals and laypersons on practical applications of ancestral lifestyle theory, is proud to [...]
All are lunatics, but he who can analyse his delusions is called a philosopher – Ambrose Bierce First, a little prospective… My Efficient Exercise clientele, widely speaking, consists of folks situated smack-dab in the bullseye for being the most susceptible to “diseases of affluence” — those maladies exacerbated (and, arguably, initially brought-on) by poor dietary choices and lack of proper [...]
Deal with the Devil if the Devil has a constituency – and don’t complain about the heat – C. J. Cherryh Not complaining, just sayin’, you know; 106-degrees F at the time I performed this little sprint routine, on the way to the day’s high of 111. No telling how friggin’ hot it was out [...]
I wasted time, and now doth time waste me. William Shakespeare Continuing with the Health vs Performance curve theme from last time out, we see that the weekly time investment requirement, relative to increased performance, increases exponentially. I know, I know — big shocker, right? But somehow, this basic tenant becomes…I don’t know…watered down? — [...]
The Red Wheelbarrow, William Carlos Williams so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens. So I’m hit with the “what do I eat prior to working out” question frequently in my training practice, and I think my clients are a bit taken back by the complexity required [...]
…Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter-faction, the vegans, are a persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn. To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living. Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, an affront [...]
“…Can’t we at least give one another the benefit of the doubt? I can be somewhat patient with people who think they have the truth, the problem is those who think they have the whole truth. It seems to me that too quickly categorizing others as wrong or mistaken is consummate arrogance and is not honoring [...]
“The idea is to try to give all the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another” – Richard Feynman So when we put all of our eggs in one basket — say, judging a particular question solely [...]
One idea that I have been very pleased to see begin trickling out of the Paleo/Evolutionary Fitness/Ancestral Fitness community as of late is the notion of Paleo (writ large) as being a framework of ideas and technologies vs being some sort of paleolithic re-enactment movement. In other words, there’s a profound difference between melding the [...]
Here are a couple of workouts in which I injected a little more volume than what I normally roll with. This is all done in an effort to prevent overtraining, while yet maintaining a relatively high training frequency which I both enjoy, and which my recovery ability can handle. And just to reiterate a point [...]
I recently received a skinny guy weight gain question from across the pond. Someone from The Tree House Press asked, via Twitter, the following (in summary): RE: Carbs and bulking up – You got your size pre paleo; what would you recommend for a 150lb male wishing to add size? I’m out of whack with [...]
“Not to invent yourself is to be false. To follow preordained rules is a profound betrayal of what it means to be human.” – David Starkey In a recent episode of the Kathleen Show, host Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau interviewed T. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study. I know what you’re thinking: WTF?? Why would I [...]
I found myself with a bit of spare time yesterday after work, so what better option than to saddle up the ol’ fixie and head for a spin? I stopped off by the library and returned The 10,000 Year Explosion (a good read, but not quite the ground-breaker I was expecting). Quick interlude — it [...]
“Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.” – Sir Arthur Wing Pinero
Ahh, and what a nice break it was. After flying-in and spending the night in downtown Houston, Meesus TTP and I drove out her to father’s place in Chappell Hill. [...]
