Heart outweighs everything else
Hello to all. For those of you whom I train with or who read the column from time to time, you probably know that I have been preparing for a physique competition that is taking place this weekend. Forget the amount of time I have spent training and posing. Forget the money I have traded for swim suits and shoes and endless special touches. Forget the peculiar mood changes (well, some of you...
Fitness: 5 Squat Tips from an All-Time World...
Top of the morning to you! For those of you whom I train/with or who read my column, you might remember me leaving to Kentucky for PowerStation Pro/Am near the end of August this year. By the close of the weekend, I was very iron-hungry and anxious to tie up physique and get straight back to smashing weights! While at Pro/Am, I had the pleasure of meeting and watching some absolutely incredible...
Fitness: Lessons Learned
Hello. I have taken a few days off from writing in order to study for an exam that I will be taking tomorrow. I am anxious to get it out of the way so that I can press forward to bigger and better things in my life, such as my 6-part certification process. I am ready to continue to learn and grow in my career so that I can better help others with their own goals. As if it was not clear enough to...
Supplementing On-Season (Physique & Powerlifting)
Hello to you. Often lately, I am asked what I take before, during, and after training to enhance preparation, performance, and recovery. I assume that the people who ask are not interested in hearing that I eat ½ cup of oatmeal blended with 30 grams of protein, 5 egg whites, and ½ cup of broccoli, either. They want to know what I take in from a bottle or mix from a bag. The answer varies based...
Monthly Challenge (Fitness): How Fit Are YOU?
Hi! I have something fancy for you….
The challenge for the balance of September is called How Fit Are YOU?, which aims to make you think and act a little outside of the box. This challenge is inspired by an article I read in a magazine…. It motivated me a lot! I know a few really fit people who hardly ever visit an established gym, because they do their own routines with body-weight...
Fitness: Muscle-Building Mistakes to Avoid, by...
Hello to you! I was browsing the Men’s Health website when I found this article. I like the idea of publishing common mistakes and how to avoid them, because more-often-than-not, we just see information about “what to do” and sometimes do not even get a real explanation of why, how, etc. Men’s Health is a great resource that I have trusted for several years. I am going to...
Nutrition: Vitamin D
Hello. I was drinking my oatmeal (HAHA! I made it with too much almond milk) and sitting outside this morning, thinking about how nice it will be when Autumn is finally here. I am not interested in Summer at all…. I really am not. I like to be outdoors, but I do not like to be hot. I do not mind sweating (the more the merrier in the gym) when I am working hard, but if I am uncomfourtably...
Nutrition: Getting enough Protein
Hello! I just got a new (to me, not to the market) flavour of my favourite protein powder, and may I just say it is absolutely delicious. I was busy yesterday after work and I knew I would not be going straight home post-workout to use almond milk, so I had to mix it with water alone. I was too pleased with how much flavour this had in water! Order your Strawberry Pro Performance AMP Wheybolic...

Health: Fitness and Alcohol
Hello. After the long weekend, I want to talk about alcohol. I understand that this post could do 1 of 2 things for those who read my blog - either turn you off from me, or remind you why you make the decisions you do. Ultimately, you will either agree or disagree that alcohol is or is not for you. That choice is yours and it is 100% your business and 100% not my business. I know people who look...

Health: Seeing Your Goals Differently
Good morning :) Have you ever felt discouraged because you composed a goal and the pursuit only lasted a few days, because you broke one of your rules or were not seeing any results? What do you think leads to us feeling like we are failing, long before we even get close to the big picture?
For those of you with specific goals (cutting phase: drop fat and be X size/weight) (bulking phase: pack...
