The way I see things, there are only 2 choices you have when it comes to getting in shape. Let me just start off by saying that this article is going to seem a little harsh and I honestly don’t give a fuck. When someone hires me to train them they are hiring someone that …
A few months ago I posted an article for another transformation contest that I wanted to host, this time with prize money along with supplement vouchers for the top 3 placings. The top 3 finishers all had one thing in common: THEY STAYED IN TOUCH WITH ME! I didn’t need to babysit these guys and …
I couldn’t wait to get into the gym this morning and destroy shit! I’ve been in a high stress environment lately and around people that are exhausting to speak and listen to. Today I was about to lose all sense of logic if I didn’t get my ass to the gym! Have you ever had …

Thank-you for your testimonial Devin. I’m looking forward to hearing how your next phase goes and I’m sure your back will …
I used to follow all of the “rules of bodybuilding”: “Make sure you eat within 20 minutes of your workouts” “Simple sugars and EXACTLY 50 grams of protein post workout” “Cardio will keep you from gaining size” “Low reps for growth, high reps for definition” I could go on and on with this list and …
