And a different spin on the movie thing, since this year was a wash.

I could go into a lengthy disquisition about my professional experiences or achievements from this year, but I’d have a feeling that I was ignoring an elephant in the room.

There’s no secret: There’s something that has frustrated not only me, but the entire world – at least to some degree. It’s disrupted our normalcy and tampered with everyone’s ability to function, recreate, and work without some form of adjustment. And we all know what that is.

You know what's worse than training advice messing up your body? Training advice messing up your mind first.

Without a doubt, there seem to have emerged two competing ‘sides’ to fitness, strength training and healthy living. I’ve spoken about these sides in the past.

One man to another: Trying to look “terrible” is making you look TERRIBLE.

If we’re making the decision to go through life thinking there’s a problem to be had with anyone and everyone we encounter, the real problem is most likely with us, and we’re not helping anyone with anything. What are we really trying to accomplish here?

I think I'm finally old enough to do one of these.

Whether you have all the degrees, all the muscles, or none of either - Society is teaching you a lesson. You just need to look.

The commercialized, most profitable aspect of fitness has made the majority of the world view it as another form of popular culture and entertainment. Not a necessity. 

Many people use fitness and health as something of a facilitator to a good time, a social endeavor, or a way to meet new people. This is the culture that’s most pervasive, and as long as platforms larger than those of “real training” exist, I don’t expect much of that to change.

No gym for 4 months? Tell me more about your First World problems.  In the meantime, I'll speak for those who REALLY need to be heard.
