As promised, my latest interpretation of mixing the concepts between MAE and Body by Science.
Also, be sure to check this interview out from Conditioning Research.
It’s a great follow up to my recent interview with Bill about Moment Arm Exercise. New videos from Bill are included at the bottom of the interview as well (regarding congruent exercise for the chest).
In the spring of 2008 I witnessed a “small” riot in east Orlando.
It was the first time I had ever seen such a thing, and it’s something I’ll never forget.
It was a Friday night. At a local bar named “Scoop”, with two friends (one of which was a speaker at The 21 Convention).
Usually Friday nights were packed at this bar – that night, sort of. Perhaps 80% of the usual crowd (a few hundred people).
About 1am, a few people start shouting at each other, maybe 30 feet from my friends and I (we are all outside in a courtyard style area, but still “in” the bar).
It hardly takes a few minutes before various people start shoving…

I’ve written about “cardio” from time to time on this blog, but not much recently. This post will serve as a primer to catch people up to speed, as well as detail new ideas about “cardio”.
Let’s start strong, shall we?
1. The conventional notion of “cardio” is a complete and total fallacy.
It is every bit as erroneous as limiting saturated fat in the diet and eating copious amounts of grain and other carbohydrate rich “foods”.
In no way, shape, or form is low intensity* physical activity optimal or even necessary for best…
I’ve gotten a lot of questions recently about Swine Flu and my thoughts on “health care” via Facebook and e-mail.
Rather than read my own take, here are some links that express my views well, and in some cases much better than I could have, had I written my own content on the subjects.

Excellent, excellent read. Do not skip this one.
To a slightly lesser extent, this is also a great read

New Immunization Guidelines– Who Makes Them?
On a different but not entirely unrelated note, this is hilarious.
Bill De Simone is the author of Moment Arm Exercise, a revolutionary book on the often overlooked bio-mechanics of exercise. I read the book many months ago, have applied my own personal understanding of the concepts, and have reaped results from those actions. I believe what Bill offers not only increases the safety of the way one can exercise, but also brings about better results.
Below is an interview I performed with Bill recently (various links have been added by me).
*Bill, these are my own words. Can you briefly tell us a bit more about yourself?
Currently I have a personal training studio, which opened a little over three years ago. I’ve been self-employed as a fitness guy since 2001.…
This is not officially a blog post, but was a journal I wrote for a class at UCF. I thought it was worth sharing here on TDL.

Response to HIV/Aids Presentation at UCF
This was yet another misinformed presentation given in class. Every week, we hear a presentation about an important topic, and the majority of information presented is misguided at best and downright harmful at worst.
Today’s presentation about AIDS and HIV surpassed all others in my eyes however. I don’t believe I’ve ever witnessed something quite like it and I feel obligated to speak up for the sake of my peers. And for the record, I am not an expert on AIDS or HIV, merely someone who has knowledge from other fields, and a limited understanding of…
Every so often I’ll come across a book that not only takes my breath away, but “speaks” to me as well.
Books like Body by Science, The Four Hour Work Week, Purple Cow, The Entrepreneurial Imperative, The Way of the Superior Man, and so on.
Well, it’s time to welcome a new member to the club- The Leap: How 3 Simple Changes Can Propel Your Career from Good to Great.
I first saw it on Tim Ferriss’s blog. Not long after, I had a copy in my hands, and before I knew it, I…
I’ve been promising this post for a while, and today nearly finished “it”. However, I felt the post didn’t flow the way I originally intended it to, so I’ve decided to split the post into 2 segments, (probably) back to back.
The first, obviously, is what I eat, and where I’m getting it.
The second, why I eat this way. Simple =)
Let’s get started.
As seen above, a ton of lamb. I actually ate over three and a half pounds recently.
A ton, yes, but I was hungry that night =)- and yes I ate it all in one sitting.
That lamb is from a grocery store I found 2 minutes from my house- a rare find indeed considering it’s quality. Not only is it grass fed (imported…
For many years now I have been an avid drinker of Fiji and Eternal water- both “silica rich” and “artesian” waters.
Why?
I simply can’t stand other sources of water for very long.
Some are not as bad as others, but all- in a long enough time span, and including home filtered water- gave me mild head aches, cotton mouth, and just tasted like pool water to me after…
Edited, but still a bit raw, thoughts from the core on College, Life, Work, and more.
For those who aren’t aware, I am currently a student at the University of Central Florida- one of the largest universities in the nation.
I’m in my 4th year now, and (beginning) to approach the end of school. If I were to follow my course schedule I would end this spring semester with only a handful of classes left to take before earning a bachelors degree in interdisciplinary studies (a combination of entrepreneurship, health…
