Let’s talk about the MetCon cult’s favorite excuse for avoiding real cardio. "Can’t I just lift weights faster? My heart rate goes up, so it must be cardio, right?" In short, no Brosefus. No, it is not. This is the same logic that says, “I drank six vodka sodas, therefore I am hydrated.” Just because something sounds logical doesn’t mean it’s physio-logical (shoutout to Dr. Peter Lemon on that quote). Why Lifting Faster Does Not Replace Cardio Let’s break this down before you hyperventilate...

Want to recover faster from the gym beatdowns you so lovingly inflict upon yourself? Want to build more muscle, hit more PRs, and still have gas left in the tank for life? Want to burn more fat—without adding another darn minute of stoooopidd...

Welcome to Flexible Meathead Cardio—now fully loaded, completely recorded, and ready to...

Pioneering a New Path to the Seven Summits...Even With MS, and a Heart That Beats Like a War Drum Let me hit you with a story that punches harder than a 500-pound deadlift and climbs higher than your average PF goers LDL. This one isn’t about six-pack selfies or 17.5-day shred challenges. This is about true performance—the kind forged in pain, sweat, data, and damn near divine defiance of physiology. One of my M3 1-on-1 clients -Anthony Morro gives it to us straight in his own words about my...

On this week's episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Dr. Kenneth Jay, a PhD in Physiology and Biomechanics, coach to Olympic-level athletes, and creator of the Row Forge app. We go deep on all things cardiovascular performance, especially how to improve aerobic capacity without losing your hard-earned strength. You’ll hear us geek out over the Concept2 rower (yes, it’s a love-hate relationship), and dig into the science of rowing mechanics, training protocols, and...

In this high-energy episode of What Are You Made Of?, I joined Mike “C-Roc” to talk about human performance, physiology, and (surprise) kiteboarding. We kicked things off from South Padre, where I’ve been chasing wind, waves, and a personal best of 30 feet in the air. Kiteboarding has become a big part of how I challenge myself physically and mentally, and we got into the science behind it—how it works, how the gear has evolved, and why it’s so much more than just an adrenaline rush. Of...

In the flurry of our time in South Padre, I realized I did a great podcast and never told you about it, so I wanted to let you know! I joined Kylie Riesselman Larson on her Far From Perfect podcast to talk about all things fitness, recovery, metabolic flexibility, heart rate variability, and why your VO₂ max might be more important than you think. We also dug into my personal journey, what got me into fitness science, and how I transitioned from in-person to online coaching (with a few side...
