Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round? Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the fading night? You better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Do you run through each day On the …
#45 Heebomb Experiment: Fasting
Not long ago, I shared some basic insights on Intermittent Fasting. With this post, I wanted to share my current experience with fasting as I'm entering into my 42nd hour of not consuming food! It may be surprising but I actually feel pretty good right now. I would say the overall energy may be down …
#44 Do you even squat bro? (Part 2)
Squat series continued. Let's begin with an image: This is an Olympic lifter catching a barbell that weighs about 150kg (330lbs) in a squat during his Clean & Jerk. As impressive as his strength is that's not what I want to talk about in this post, but rather, the ability to squat low/deep (is it …
#41 Back to the Basics (What I’ve learned being a trainer Pt. 8)
In my years as a trainer & coach, the greatest lesson of them all may be the importance of the fundamentals/basics. Kobe Bryant, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, said “Why do you think I’m the best player in the world? Because I never ever get bored with the basics.” He was known as …

#40 Quote of the Week (10)
"Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can't measure something, you can't understand it. If you can't understand it, you can't control it. If you can't control it, you can't improve it." -H. James Harrington I don't think we need to measure everything. With that said, …
#38 Intermittent Fasting
No one food is good or bad. No one meal will make you fat. No one diet is the best diet. Such absolutist thinking is the reason why we are constantly told to eat a certain food or follow this diet in order to “get shredded in 6-weeks!” Unfortunately, fasting, more specifically Intermittent Fasting (IF), has …
#36 Quote of the Week (9)
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who …

#30 What I’ve learned being a trainer Pt. 5
There is so much HATE in the health & fitness industry. I can't even count how many times I've heard statements like "that trainer sucks," "that exercise/equipment is pointless," "that certification/coach is terrible," or something in the realm. At times, I find myself guilty of this too. In my opinion, one of the main reasons may …

#29 What I’ve learned being a trainer Pt.4
"Rule #1: no pissing, no moaning!" Coach Charles Poliquin's favorite rule. I first heard him say this in 2012 at one of his seminars. There stood one of the smartest people I've ever met, who happens to be a meat-head with literally two biceps heads bulging out of his arms, and this man is yelling …
