learn when and what to quit
Scream really loud if you’ve heard this quote: “Winners never quit, and quitters never win.” If that doesn’t get you screeching, how about this one: “Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.” Both are quotes by Vince Lombardi. So why do I bring up some old football coach who passed away in 1970?...

According to last night’s Superbowl halftime show, 43 & 50 are the new… what… 30?!? Jess (my wife, for those that don’t know) and I were talking, and of course it could be easy to dismiss JLo and Shakira as having access to the best nutritionists, doctors, drugs (?), etc… and THAT’S why they look...

rob deadlifting at bsp nova located at 21620 ridgetop circle in sterling, va while training with a full-body routine
A few weeks ago, I had someone ask me why their program was written as a full-body routine, instead of a body-part routine. This client had experience with strength training, but in the form of body part splits, so it was a fair question to ask.   Before we get into the nitty-gritty details of...

woman trying to make a mindset shift
Is your morning anything like this? The sun is still down when you wake to the hum of your alarm. You get up, wash your face, go to the bathroom, maybe write down three things you’re grateful for, and eat breakfast. Floating in your head this whole time though, are all of the things you...

During a recent dinner with Dr. Nate Crain, Nate asked if I was familiar with Patrick McKeown’s work on nasal breathing—specifically his book, “The Oxygen Advantage“. Anyone that knows me knows I read… a lot! And yet, I had to say no.  Not just no to having read it, but no to having even heard...

a better night's sleep
My wife likes to talk when we get in bed… Problem is, I’m usually asleep within minutes of my head hitting the pillow. She even accuses me of “acting” like I’m asleep! “Oh stop, it’s not possible to fall asleep that fast!“, she’ll say… But I really do. [a screenshot from my Oura Ring app...
