Every fitness model or fitness athlete wants a lot of great photos for their portfolio. You cannot get featured in magazines without doing the work first and the prep work is a pain in the butt. Really. I am lucky I don’t need to diet down for photo shoots, so one chore less, but the [...]

Leg training today. working on using my lazy leg as much as my “good” one! I do many sets of squats, but I constantly work on my form rather than go for just go up and down with worthless form. I rather work smart and not get injured than to go for squatting big.

If I were to do only three exercises for my body for a year, I’d pick deadlifts, bent-over barbell rows and barbell push presses. It’s funny how one’s opinion changes and gets altered over time as you get more experienced and older and wiser… Now for instance I could never go in to work arms [...]

Working at the gym this morning. Suddenly out of nowhere a man starts his set of reverse pecdeck for shoulders and with full force raises the arms and the iron machine handle out to where I happen to walk by. BAM!!!! Right onto my sternum. I could not breathe, could not talk, It was pounding [...]

You know what is really wrong with the concept of dieting? It´s the obvious “there will be an end” that goes with it! I totally don´t get how one can endure months of strict dieting just to stop cold turkey and get fatter again. Wouldn´t all the hard work be for nothing then? I´ve never [...]

Have you seen the commercial about “getting the real facts” about high fructose corn syrup? It’s the corn refiners that stand behind it. In the commercial one of the characters says “It’s totally fine when eaten in moderation”. Ok, so wait a minute… When was moderation part of our society? I have yet to see [...]

OK, so let´s get this straight again. I do not train biceps. I stopped in May 2006. I do however always get the request to train them for photo shoots… Here you go, my treat for you who like biceps training. As you can see I cheat, I swing and I don´t concentrate. LOL. That´s [...]

There is this one young woman at my gym who´ve been there as long as I remember. One month she his pretty normal weight. The other month she is fat. And then almost thin. Which then transforms into fat again. She seems to be out of control of her lifestyle and her diet in particular. [...]

Yesterday I did my shopping at the local sports nutrition/health food store. I was there to buy some borage oil for a client with high blood pressure. The salesperson who I know pretty well, or let me put it this way, he should know me better by now, handed me a water sample and claimed [...]

I believe I am the number one cabbage consumer in the world. I must be with my 5-7 lbs of it every single day. Since it´s such a big part of my diet, I would like to write it up here. Like a tribute! Cabbage contains compounds that signal genes to increase production of enzymes [...]

ok, some triceps!

I was supposed to deadlift and train hamstrings today. I did not feel like I would be able to give it my best, so I changed it for prehab, cardio and stretching. It was a good choice. Since I the other day found out my heart rate is a lot higher than the estimated maximum [...]

Just got home from a marvellous quads/glutes workout. I am so happy I did not listen to the laziness I had earlier. And now my cabbage with mustard and garlic and pink salmon tasted delicious! I can have it every day for good! I want to start my own mustard signature line! LOL Here I [...]

When I was living in Sweden I thought the typical seasonal disorders, which more or less everyone battles in countries with few hours of light during most time of the year, I believed this feeling of unmotivation and boredom would be a memory of the past. Well, that worked for about a year. I was [...]

Just got back from the gym. back workout. These lats were created out of fear for fat bags under my arms! yes, as a novice weight trainer I thought the lats hanging out of my top was pure fat so I tried to tone up the area, lol….And to my distress those fat bags grew [...]

So, I am officially out of my blue days. What happened? I just waited to get in a better mood. And that happened this morning. Great! I had a wonderful cardio session this morning. Raining outside and the gym was quiet. I did intervals on the treadmill, jumped up and down, ran stairs and did [...]
