Welcome to 2026 where the amount of information "out there" is absolutely unhinged. Podcasts. Threads. Preprints. AI summaries of AI summaries.Everyone yelling. Everyone "optimizing"... ..yet very few actually moving forward? And with AI just getting warmed up? It’s about to get worse, not better. You might think you need more information to move forward. Maybe. But I’ll bet you 20+ years in the fitness industry you don’t. What you actually need is brutally simple: Specific information...

Happy New Year! Nothing exciting here last night as the wonderful Wifey Jodie and I just chilled out and went to bed early, haha. I had a fun training session today in the Extreme Human Performance garage gym of bench press, axle double overhand DLs, KB swings, heavy eccentric rows with the Voltra 1, press downs and some pick ups with Brutus the 135 lbs Inch DB replica w 10 lbs of counter weight. The AM I did some meathead cardio on the rower followed by a cold plunge in the freezer at 46F...

Happy New Year's Eve you savage! Many people 'out there' wandering the purple hallowed halls of PF think metabolic health means controlling blood sugar or burning fat efficiently. That’s not wrong.... ...but it’s incomplete. Real health and performance come down to adaptability!How well your body handles stress, performs under pressure, and then recovers so you can do it again without slowly breaking down. I recently joined Brandon DaCruz on the Chasing Clarity Health & Fitness Podcast to dig...

Karen is not lazy. Karen is not weak. Karen is not "undisciplined." Karen may be you… if you've ever alphabetized your supplements and weighed blueberries like they were precious metals. Karen started her diet on a Monday. Of course she did. New macros. New app = New identity. For the first few weeks? Flawless. Scale down. Waist tighter. Training numbers mostly holding. That smug little glow of moral superiority you get when you turn down cake and say, "I'm good." Karen was perfect on her...

Hola you glorious post-holiday survivor— I trust you had a wonderful Christmas.Or at least a loud, delicious, mildly unhinged one involving food, family, and questionable dessert decisions. Either way…The calendar just flipped its little smug page, and the year is sprinting toward the finish line like a drunk CrossFitter late to Murph. Which brings me to my single most important post-holiday rule—the one that separates people who bounce back from people who slowly slide into the abyss wearing...

If you are new here, strap in as it is time for the annual tale of Christmas Eve lutefisk style. When growing up for every year of my adult waking life on Christmas Eve that meant one thing… ….lutefisk. Up until around 11 years ago. More on why that is important coming up, but first some background for the lutefisk naïve. It is pronounced as LOOT –A – FISK. If you are in Minnesota like I am, make sure you do the OO sound really long. LOOOOOOOOOT –A – FISK. If you do not know what it is,...
