HOW TO SUCCEED WITH YOUR HEALTH One incredibly important thing I have learned from training is that making decisions and sticking to them is one of the most powerful things we can do as humans. If you have health goals such as losing weight, getting stronger, fitter...

AN UNBREAKABLE DECISION In my last article, I talked about how we should use the motivation that we have for training wisely. Like money, it is not an abundant source and so we have to watch it carefully and not spend past what we have. Realistically, each person has...

THE FORMULA It often happens that people experience a surge of motivation, which is great, but some may naturally use it all up within a few weeks of training because they did too much in too short a time. Ultimately, this leads to no long-term results. But if you use...

BODY ARMOUR One of the biggest arguments about steroids is how unhealthy they are. Some say they are bad for you, some say they’re not. But I think the real issue is that they affect the way people look at their own bodies – particularly teenagers – in a negative way....
