I try for one day of “Perfect Nutrition”

There’s a kid’s book called ‘How to be Perfect in just 3 days’. The hero takes a course to become perfect only to discover that being perfect ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Instagram (my only social account) has figured out I’m a trainer. I log in and I’m instantly barraged with new gadgets, new programs and body after perfect body selling their product: Follow my plan, use my gadget, learn my method…

And you can look perfect too.

The next minute a study shows the opposite.

Same goes for Red Wine, Red meat, smoking pot, coffee...

They're all bad. And then some study comes along...

To Roll or Not to Roll

That is the question.

DO NOT STRETCH FIRST THING.Stretching before workouts it"reduces force production and thereby reduces training performance".What do you do then? Try foam rolling. Foam rolling enhances performance and aids recovery without any drawbacks*. Need to warm up? Foam roll. Feeling stiff after a hard workout? Foam roll. Hung over? Foam Rolling (seriously).

Pain is a mystery.

Someone took shoulder MRI'S of twenty Major League Baseball players. 15 of them had enough structural damage to warrant immediate shoulder surgery.But only 10 of those 15 had pain.Hmph.Pain doesn't make sense. In a nearly 100 year old Harvard study of lower back pain in Men the only common symptom they identified was.... drum roll please...Stress at work.

Need a compression session?

What an amazing machine that body of yours is.

I am constantly in awe at the elegance and economy of our design. Don't love your body? Time to get over it. You are a work of art; beautifully made.

Need an example? Did you know the body's major lymph glands are located near the most active joints; moving these joints effectively turns them into lymphatic pumps. How's that for sophisticated design? Motion is the lotion, movement is in fact medicine and whoever coined those phrases was more right than they understood.

I go 110% 110% of the time...

Don't be that guy.

You stack the bar with tons of weight, move it 6 inches, and claim you lifted it... don't be that guy.

You don't wipe down gym equipment...

You tell people to chillax...

You tell people sit ups burn belly fat...

You go as hard as you possibly can every time you step in the gym...

I appreciate the effort, but don't. Just don't. Especially that last one. That isn't how it works.
