I used to squat. Not anymore.

Check out my interview with Bill here and the follow up on Conditioning Research.

There is also a very old interview with Bill from none other than Doug McGuff MD here.

Speed, Strength, Nutcrackers, and the Overhead Press

I haven’t performed an overhead press in some time. Bill gets at why in this video, then cracks a walnut. Sounds funny, but not surprisingly, it’s a crystal clear explanation.

16 Pounds of Muscle in 16 Months

by on 11. Sep, 2010 in Exercise, Nutrition

From Florida to Sweden, doing the mind numbingly simple exercises you see above – about once a week (or less) – I built ~16 pounds of muscle in ~16 months time.

I did it with less dietary carbohydrate per week than most people eat in a single day, and more saturated fat per day, than some eat in an entire month.

In other words, I stimulated and allowed for the growth of ~16 pounds of new muscle, in direct opposition to the prevailing conventional wisdom.

99% of “personal trainers”, “body builders”, “nutritionists”, and “dieticians” would tell you what I have done is impossible, and quickly dismiss it as a lie, or superior genetics (labeling me an anomaly instead of the norm).

Great Men of Our Time (Part 1)

Great Men of Our Time (Part 1)

by on 05. Aug, 2010 in Exercise, Independent Thinking, Meeting Cool People, Nutrition, The 21 Convention

It’s been said that there are three types of men in this world – men who wish to rule over others, men who seek to obey, and men who pursue freedom, independence, and their own visions and dreams with unmeasurable vigor.

The third type of man – the passionate men who shape the world we live in, the men who live their lives as they see fit (without intruding on the right of others to do the same), and accomplish great things in the face of all odds (often to our benefit) – is an increasingly rare breed.

Yet, not all hope is lost, as those men do indeed still exist. In fact, you are looking at three of them above as you read.

Pictured from left to right are Doug McGuff MD, Mark Sisson, and Bill DeSimone – men who’s work I was very familiar with and had a lot of respect for, before meeting them just this past July at The 21 Convention 2010 of Orlando…
