Today is a travel day after a long, yet enjoyable weekend in Arizona. Chris and I stayed in both Phoenix and Tucson for the 70’s Big Seminar at Evolution Fitness. I’d like to thank Chris F. and Tyler for acting as lovable hosts throughout the weekend. I’d like to thank all of the attendees for being a good crowd, eager to learn, and for laughing at my jokes. It takes a lot of energy to be “on” for an entire weekend, but it’s always worth when it’s for top notch folks. I’d also like to thank my homies Chris and Luiz for having good shit, good shit.

Here’s a sweet video we made that will give you an idea of the time we had.


Here’s a sweet picture from when we ate at a cowboy steak house and then watched a live action wild west show that included gunshots, blood, explosions, and a guy fucking falling off of a roof. We’re posing with the actors.

PR Friday

As always, post your training PR’s and updates to the comments. Last week I set a goal for everyone: “meet your daily protein intake with primarily meat; only allow 25 to 50g of whey protein for your daily allotment.” Did any of you do it? It requires a bit more planning to eat mostly meat, but it’ll put better quality protein into your body instead of insulin-spiking whey. Something to think about.

Next week’s goal: Aim to do heavy farmer’s walks at the end of at least two of your training sessions next week. Next Friday you’ll post your weight and estimated distance.

Weekly Recap

Monday we celebrated Memorial Day and paid tribute to those that have sacrificed their own freedom or life to preserve American way of life. Tuesday we reviewed why it’s such a good idea to compete and looked at how one of the female 70’s Big readers did so successfully. Wednesday continued a much needed discussion on mobility and put an emphasis on a tool called The Stick. Thursday I traveled and just posted the pictures that veterans sent me on Memorial Day (in case you didn’t see them on Facebook or Twitter).

When I was in Australia I met a guy named Dayne who runs a fitness/bodybuilding YouTube channel. He interviewed me for his site at the Aussie fitness expo in Sydney. I remember not being funny enough.
