The Seinfeld Guide to Fat Loss

We live in a great age of television. Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, anything on Netflix…it’s a TV junkies dream. As a child of the 90s however, today’s television doesn’t hold a candle the all the classic shows that I grew up with; none greater of course, than Seinfeld.

Surviving Your 4th of July BBQ: A Step-By-Step Guide

One of my favorite things about summer is throwing dead animal flesh on a hot grill. The sound of the meat sizzling…the smell…I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get a little turned on.

Like Jon Snow, You Know Nothing

This past week, I had the pleasure of spending four days in one of the coolest and most beautiful cities in the entire world…New York. I’d never been there before, and needless to say, it was a pretty amazing experience. I was in town for a meet-up of the Roman Fitness Systems Mastermind. We were gathering together for a few days of fun, shenanigans, pizza, and of course some business learning.

An Alcoholic Guide to Drinking for Fat Loss, Muscle Gains, and Life

There are few things more engrained into our society than drinking.

So it should come as no surprise then that those of us concerned with our health and physiques wonder how drinking fits into our fitness lifestyle.

Your New Year’s Resolution Blueprint

It’s almost that time of year again; a time to eat, drink, and be merry. But mostly eat and drink.

They see it as a chance to improve themselves from last year. And for many, that improvement comes in the form of their health.

Lean Habits: 12 Tips to Help You Achieve & Maintain a Lean Physique

  Let’s face it, we’re all a little vain. Whether you’re like me and openly admit it, or you would rather hide your vanity in the closet, as humans being vain is only natural. We all at one point or another have walked past a mirror and picked out one (or in most cases more than one) thing that we would like to change about our bodies. Maybe you want bigger arms, a rounder butt, or chiseled abs.

The Complete Incomplete Guide to Supplements

As a trainer and coach one of the things I get asked about a lot are supplements. Almost everyone in the fitness industry has an opinion on supplements. Some hate them, while others depend on selling supplements to make a living. Neither side is right or wrong, it really just depends on your experience with supplements (or in some cases how slimy and money-hungry you are).

It’s Your Fault

Warning: If you’re sensitive, fragile, or need to constantly have your ego fed by having people tell you how awesome and special you are, this post is probably not for you, because it’s about to get real.

The Best Damn Macro Article, Period!

In my last article, I discussed how to find your caloric maintenance and set a reasonable deficit for fat loss. Today’s article is going to go a step further and show you what I and many other coaches believe to be a better way to count than just tracking calories. I’m talking of course, about macros.

Hidden Factors Affecting Your Fat Loss

On the surface, fat loss doesn’t seem that complicated. Create an energy deficit by eating fewer calories than you burn, add in some exercise (preferably resistance training), and BOOM, fat loss!
