Don’t trust people who think their diet or exercise program will bring world peace (vegetarians and yoga people, I’m looking at you).

Round about the same time drunks became alcoholics, gluttony became a dirty word.
I understand, moralizing has a tendency to have the opposite of its intended effect, and guilt is never pleasant, but the word itself may be the key to an excellent, sustainable long term diet change.
According to Wikipedia, the word gluttony is “…derived from [...]
Yeah, I said it.
Look deep within your heart Luke, you know it to be true.
Men have been interested in health and strength for a LONG time. Josephus talks about Judeans going out and lifting stones for their daily exercise. Charlemagne went for a daily swim. According to Sir Francis Bacon, archery is great for increasing [...]
What would you say if I told you, you, YOU, could get a hold of the BEST exercise program in the world to get HUGE, and not only that, as an added bonus, you could get the most detailed, scientifically proven diet plan in the world, leaving you with a Hollywood Action Star’s physique?

According to my sources, the above video is not an actual prison, or an actual prisoner, or mostly in the contents of Convict Conditioning. But, yeah…
I know prisoners are bad guys. That’s why they’re in jail. And I know they’re not all super jacked wolves. We’ve all seen “prisoners” working out in movies: Nicholas Cage [...]

The author was a former OSS Lieutenant Colonel and Harvard MBA named John D. MacDonald, and you probably have [...]
Who doesn’t want to look like an ancient warrior? Especially if you are like I was 243 lbs of skinny fat. If you’re not familiar with the term, it doesn’t mean powerlifter or strongman fat, but emaciated arms and legs and blubber. I was a chubby lil pumpkin.
I am now 60lbs lighter and can that [...]
When I was in Florence, Italy, I noticed two things:
1) The city was only the size of Waco, Texas, but it was crawling with beautiful women. I had to shoo them away from the windowsill every time I wanted some fresh air at the hotel.
2) After my testosterone levels stabilized I noticed that [...]
“Dude, you have to try this?”
“Try what?”
“Drinking straight half and half.”
Now, John is from Kansas. While grateful for the sterling work that state has done protecting the rest of us from Missouri, the strange and frightening folkways of its people gave me pause.
Or he was messing with me.
“Isn’t it bitter or something?”
“No, man, smooth [...]
Who can forget the derring do of the Royal Canadian Air Force in sixties, when they quelled the dreaded Bear Uprising? Now you too can follow the exercise program of this elite force (although the dietary recommendations e.g. “…quaff at least one gallon of maple syrup daily to preserve manly vigor..” can safely be ignored).
