I think there are some unwritten standards in doing a weightlifting program. Like most people tend to do a Monday, Wednesday, Friday regimen if they workout three times a week. It’s uncommon to see Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, but I suppose there are people to do it. I somewhat feel the same about starting a new program. You’re supposed […]

Have you ever done something dramatically different, either a workout or nutrition, or any sort of personal change, and then anything that happens, you automatically attribute it to the new thing and discount everything else? Right now, I have a few things going on and I’m automatically pointing the finger at Whole30, because I can, […]
