A week ago Sunday, I said goodbye to Ana and our children, and started driving north to Alabama. Along with starting a security company, over the past year I have earned my instructor certification with ASP for baton, handcuff and tactical light, as well as my instructor certification for...

I think it’s a safe bet to say that we have all experienced a point when we felt extreme motivation. Mine came in 1976 while watching the first Rocky movie. If you haven’t seen the classic Stalone masterpiece, then you should. You will never skip a workout again. I...

It’s been three months since I darkened the door of a gym. I made big plans back then to workout in the garage during quarantine, which was a great idea until it started getting hot in Las Vegas. And it wasn’t training in the heat that posed a problem...

Unlike most men that, like me, stand toes to the edge of the mid-point in their lives, I didn’t spend my sixtieth birthday, or any day since that sunny June celebration, scratching my hairless dome wondering where the time went. I know exactly where it went. I spent it...

August 6-12 I wanted so badly to report a week of butt-kicking, take no prisoners, do-or-die training but it wasn’t in the cards this week. I don’t schedule days off from training, I play it by ear, and if my body tells me I need more rest or more...

The first week of any new training regimen is the best, and the worst. It’s new, exciting, and anything new comes with quick results as a body scrambles to adapt to the new stresses. I find that is especially true with high-intensity training. It will kick your butt. I...

I set a goal for myself this year to be in the best shape of my life on my birthday this June 28th. I won’t make that goal because I didn’t do the work. That really hurts to say that but it’s the truth, no excuses. There were new...
