I stare blankly at my computer screen. Should I do another top 10 list? ANOTHER ONE?
After posting for damned near two years I can’t help but feel like I’ve said everything that needs to be said. The truth is that getting in top physical shape is simple. Maybe it isn’t easy, but it damned sure doesn’t come down to any advanced mental gymnastics.
It really comes down to only three things. . .
What else…
Friday, Friday, Friday. . . and that means I’m spreading the link love. Here are my most recent favorites:

OK, I’ve been talking about TacFit quite a bit lately. Being former military, the program resonates with me on a level that it might not for others upon first glance. But I assure you, whether you are fresh off the couch or already “high speed low drag”, TacFit has something for you. And I know this because I got on the phone with the creator of the program, Scott Sonnon, and grilled him for over 40 minutes.
To listen to my…
For as long as man has realized that intentional physical movement can improve health and fitness, bodyweight exercises have been integral to training. Below are 10 reasons that I love bodyweight training:
1. Foundational for other training methods. In my opinion, becoming proficient with bodyweight exercises is mandatory before adding external resistance. If you can’t perform a full range of motion squat with just your bodyweight while maintaining good postural alignment, stepping into the power rack and throwing a barbell across your…

Notice I didn’t say these were the “best”, I said they were my favorite. Different strokes for different folks as they say. . . and that being said, let me also say that these are in no particular order.
It’s been a long time since I set foot in one of these places. With its ocean of machines that scream false promises of cover-model bodies while banking on the fact that over half of its members will not use the place and neglect to cancel their recurring billing. I’ve often slammed the corporate gym with creative prose, while taking great pride in my windowless facility’s cinder block walls and concrete floors that was once described by a local newspaper…
Friday’s are starting to be my favorite posts. I’m getting a kick out of sharing links to what I feel are some of the best posts in fitness (and sometimes outside of fitness) each week.
Take this post from Jason Ferruggia as an example. No nonsense, straight to the point, and fun to read: 53 Ways To Build Muscle, Gain Strength, and Be F*cking Awesome.

“Magary, get your team together and clean that latrine!”
Ah yes, bathroom cleaning duty in the barracks after a long weekend of drunk soldiers. But the hard nasty work had already been done.
One of the young privates on my team asked, “Magary, didn’t we already clean the latrine today? Didn’t we already clean it THREE TIMES today?”
The private was correct. We were on our fourth trip to the bathroom that day, armed with mops and pine-sol and well aware that the…
“Which ever boat makes it to the other side of the pond first with all of its equipment and personnel in tact gets to eat chow first!”
Those were the only directives given by the Special Forces sergeant as two Zodiac boats full of soldiers were prepared to paddle their asses off to get to the other side of the pond as fast as possible. I was in the swamps of Louisiana with a select group of soldiers from my Infantry…

If you receive my daily emails, you’ve already read the post below. But the email responses I received from this were so much greater in number than usual, that I thought I should post it to the blog as well. I’m not sure why this story struck a chord with so many people. Perhaps we can all relate to enduring (or ignoring) pain and discomfort for the sake of a greater good. And perhaps we all know that there is…
