Gym Tune of the Week: Hatebreed “Last Breath"

I was super stoked to meet the guys from Hatebreed and see them perform live in KC this week. What an amazing show once again.

They played a ton of earlier material, too, which was epic. This tune is from the first Hatebreed album I ever heard back in the late 90s. It's still one of my all-time fav albums. Enjoy and crush some new PRs

Love,
Dr Mike

I was on the last day of my 4-day no-lifting exile, post-tattoo. Big shoutout to the wizard himself, Adam (@inktailor on IG), for his ink...

It is New Year's Eve and the gym looms ahead like a gleaming chrome beast, shimmering in the greasy twilight of another warped and godless year. It’s the annual migration of the resolution junkies—fresh from their eggnog stupors and sugar-cookie benders—hell-bent on absolving their holiday sins through sweat and steel. The bench press will be swarming with these wide-eyed zealots, buzzing around the iron like flies on roadkill. Meanwhile, the pec deck will host a new tribe of gym-bros,...

Today on the Flex Diet Podcast I am stoked to have one the one and only - Coach Cal Dietz from the University of Minnesota. This is the first podcast for Cal since the release of our new book, ‘Triphasic Training 2.’ ...and since this book took 9 years to get done and I was the co-author, I got first dibs on getting him on my podcast- hahah. We delve into advanced training methodologies, including the lateral sling method, periodized program setup, and Olympic lifting’s pros and cons....
