Thanks for taking the Weekly Beast Challenge. It’s a great way to get us out of the comfort zone. In Week 8, we took on the one vegetable-based meal per day challenge. I succeeded by primarily getting a vegetable smoothie in every day, but also had a salad most days. Diet is the biggest factor […]
I failed miserably at the Week 7 Weekly Beast Challenge. I’m looking ahead to a successful week where we will tackle a vegetable-meal-a-day. In Episode 87 of The Become a Beast Podcast, I discuss why I failed in Week 7, how we can all reduce, if not eliminate, failure, and we go over the Week […]
Week 6 had us tackling the diet focus by eating 3 cups of spinach per day. I was successful after mowing through endless cups of spinach in my daily smoothies. In Week 7, we are jumping back to fitness. However, this week is going to be relatively easier than others. In Episode 86 of The […]
The accountability factor is one of the primary reasons I succeeded in accomplishing my fitness goals. Yes, focus, effort, and determination were contributing factors, but if it weren’t for others making me accountable and my feeling accountable to others, I doubt I would have been able to do the things I’ve done. In Episode 85 […]
Week 5 saw us tackle the 1 minute wall-sit. This week, we move back to the diet focus. Apologies for the two day delay. The wife and I had our first no-kid trip in 3 years. Needless to say, our trip was a higher priority. I achieved the wall-sit’s even with the travel. Since I’ve […]
We expect too much. I do my best to expect nothing. If I choose to do the actions required to achieve a goal, I will be further than I was before I started and that is the only expectation we should have. It’s been quite some time, maybe a decade, since I set expectations of […]
Don’t fight life. That’s one of my motto’s. Life can and will throw endless struggles and adversity in your path. Don’t fight it though. In Episode 82 of The Become a Beast Podcast, I dive into how I address adversity and how you can mitigate negative results by looking at it as an opportunity. The […]
Often, we take the wrong approach towards perfection. In Episode 81 of The Become a Beast Podcast, I share my thoughts on perfection and a better way to view your goals. Perfection should not be our sole and primary focus. It can be in our peripherals as motivation, but the journey, experiences, failures, and success’ […]
What if I told you that the year I accomplished the most in the fitness and diet realm was when I had the most boring day-to-day life? Actually, it wasn’t boring for me, it was jam-packed, but everyone from the outside thought I had a boring life. This was the case in 2008 and the […]
We all lie to ourselves at times. It’s how we negate this as often as possible through personal responsibility and forward thinking that truly matters. I lie to myself that a food journal isn’t needed. One of the top rules of following a proper diet is to keep a food journal to dramatically increase the […]
Last week saw us take on the gallon of water challenge. Unfortunately, I failed miserably. If we don’t prepare ourselves for success, we will fail. That’s what happened this past week with me. I didn’t prepare each day to accomplish the challenge. The positive of this is that I am not taking my hydration a […]
I’m a huge fan and supporter of finding and following idols and mentors. They can be catalysts to a life gone astray. In Episode 77 of The Become a Beast Podcast, we look at how a mentor and/or idol can help motivate and inspire us to get out of our comfort zone and experience struggle […]
If you were to pass tomorrow, what would others remember you for? Yes, this may sound like a morbid conversation, but it shouldn’t be. It should be a motivating one that gets us to get off our butts and live the life we want others to remember us by. In Episode 76 of The Become […]
I’m relatively small physically in comparison to the other muscle-bound men at my gym. Yes, I’m 6’1″, but the other guys have 50 pounds of muscle on me. Yet, I carry a stature that makes me one of the biggest guys in the gym. How we carry ourselves, goes a lot further than physical presents. […]
In 2005, my outlook on life changed forever. After visiting the beautiful and carefree land of Australia, I came home with a new approach to everything in life and the results were incredible. In Episode 74 of The Become a Beast Podcast, we dive into what small change you can make to your approach and […]
