I have been working with this client for about 6 months now. Because he is a bit on the shy side let’s just call him Cliff.  Cliff has made tremendous progress and is without a doubt the most consistent client I have ever seen.

Cliff and I were training the other day when another client noted that he looked good or his age.

What? Good for his age? Are you kidding?

I felt compelled to correct the well intentioned client. I pointed out that Cliff looks good for *ANY* age.

I’m not sure you can handle it. 

It is truly evil.  Be afraid, be very afraid.

If you think you can stomach this truly terrifying depiction, then scroll down.

Keep Scrolling….

Get the kids out of the room…

Rules of Squatting:

1. Concentrate on correct form above all else
2. When starting out, do not go too heavy
3. Eyes straight ahead, feet flat on the ground
4. If you get in trouble, cry for your Mommy

This guy has the rules down perfectly.

9 Volunteers Needed: No School like the Old School.
(open to both local residents and online clients)

I am sick to death of these wussy ass ab exercising and programs I have been seeing all over the place.

The new wave of poofy crunches here, fluffy flutters there.  They’re all crap. None of them do a damn thing to lean out your midsection and create a set of bad ass abs.

To that end I am beta testing a brand new ab / fat loss program called

“Operation: Old School.”

He’s definitely Old School

Listen to celebrities.  They are pretty.

If eating this meant I would be as ripped as the guy in 300 (Gerard Butler), as good looking as Brad Pitt, as rich as Bill Gates and as smart as Albert Einstein I would still not eat it.

Mmmm,  gravy…

Aside from being insanely gross, it is also really high in cholesterol.

Well maybe if you served it with peanut butter. Nah, probably not.

In what is without a doubt the most unexpected and unique birthday gift I have ever received, I have been immortalized in bobble head- Yes I have been bobble headed.

Me, only smaller

Not a bad representation, the head to body ratio is actually pretty accurate.

But I can’t help thinking it also resembles veteran actor Mandy Pantinkin in his underwear.

 
Oh Mandy…

Now I can’t decide what I find more disturbing: the thought of Mandy Patinkin in his skivvies or the fact I may resemble Mandy Patinkin in his skivvies.

I can separate all things in life into three basic categories.

There are some things in life where more is better: Money, peanut butter and vacation come to mind.

 
More please

For some things in life less is better: Taxes, commercials, Lifetime Original movies.

And yet for other things better is better. The most important two on that list: sex and working out.

One thing that I have found that holds true for all three categories is that every little bit counts.

IMPORTANT: To those of my friends and neighbors who have been evacuated, if you need a place to sleep and stay until this fire is contained, I will make my gym available. It is not much, but just call me at 818-337-6175 and it will be done.
