Having been a Division I All-American and won three ACC Championships for the University of Virginia, trained at the Olympic […]

Robert Sikes began lifting weights, as a way to increase his size and strength, in high school, following the advice of his uncle.

Danny and I have talked before about the importance of sticking to they plan you’ve developed. But it never hurts to reiterate some things.

Intervals are one of the best ways to train for maximal effects and minimal time. Intervals can be done with almost any form of exercise, and they are a lot of fun, since they change things up and are constantly presenting challenges. So Danny and I decided to break intervals down, to explain why they […]

It would be nice to have a full gym and a keto kitchen everywhere you go, whether for pleasure or for business, but when you travel, you often have to make some adjustments in your plan. And that’s what Danny and I try to help you with in this episodes. Traveling doesn’t have to be […]
