Losing weight can be tough, maintaining an ultra low body fat/body weight is tough too! I happen to strive for an ideal that is not my genetic body type. I prefer being very very lean and athletically slender. I do not like feeling pumped up quads. I do not like the feeling you get from [...]

What sweets do you eat I don’t eat sweets really no? But how do you treat yourself? I don’t treat myself really with sweets… But don’t you like sweet? Sure, I love sweets, still does not mean I eat them, Never? Not never, but very seldom Hm. When did you have ice cream last time? [...]

If you dream about having a perfect body it’s time to stop dreaming and act on making the dream come true. Every day. It means you will not be a member of the “I occasionally visit the gym” crowd anymore, you will team up with the loyal league of gym rats who are the gym [...]

I talked to POLAR about my issues and they showed me what a great company they are. The problem seems to be the dealers on local level… Polar will send me a strap in the right size so I can use my heart rate monitor without the hassle of non-reading etc Thank you POLAR for [...]

Cardio is nice especially when it’s done, but doing it two times a day? Well, it’s not THAT entertaining. what can be more repetitive than cardio…. Weight training is easy, it’s just to go in and lift, cardio however… You are going to be stuck on that machine for some time and some days you [...]

ok, I’m mad now. For YEARS I’ve supported one heart rate monitor brand by purchasing EIGHT watches throughout my 11 years of training. The brand is POLAR. However, I am fed up with my loyalty, I SUCK because there has always been something wrong with the watches: battery dead after 2 weeks which had me [...]

All vegetables are more or less healthy but most of the times I eat the same cabbage day in and day out. I don’t get bored so I don’t switch it up until I do get bored. This does not mean I don’t occasionally eat broccoli. Or carrots. Or onions. Or red peppers. Or cauliflower [...]

Question of the day “With the utmost of respect, just to clarify, I wanted to ask you personally how much different is the Pauline Diet from the Fighter diet, Gram for Gram, Fiber for Fiber Food For food, because i have noticed several times you said you ‘don’t do or eat certain things’ even though [...]

I’m not an athlete, I was never into sports. However I train just as much as an elite athlete, I do many of the same exercises and I include training routines influenced by athletes’ conditioning. But when someone asks me what sport I am doing and I answer “I don’t have one, I just train” [...]

To discipline is not to punish. To discipline is to analyze what caused you to derail from your plan and then take proper actions in order to prevent it from reoccurring.  If you go off your diet plan it’s not because you have no willpower, but willpower is not reliable. You can have a lot [...]

Life quality is to have the privilege to choose when you want to start your days and end them as well. Not having to set an alarm to wake up but instead letting your own internal one let you know when the perfect rise and shine is. Life quality is having the time and the [...]

I would like to highlight the product I use for my EFAs: MYO-D from AST sports science EFAs stand for essential fatty acids that cannot be manufactured by your body, it has to come via nutrition. I use 12 capsules per day, which means 3 servings per day. Here is the short cut on info [...]

If you look fat you are. That is what I always told myself. Fat is relative of course and I know I am not for real FAT, I just call that feeling of being not as tight as you want as fat. very black and white. I’ve measured with calipers and I run into the [...]

The creation of a master piece of a human body requires more than two dumbbells and impeccable work ethic. Clocking in, clocking out, wait for results like a pay check is a dream scenario. To build something demands a blue print in your mind. You know what you want to strive for, you start working [...]

Fighter Diet is not a LOW CARB diet. Here is an idea why it is not that LOW: 1500 calorie diet: 7 lbs of veggies give you about 140 grams of carbs. That is 560 calories. Add carbs from two containers greek yoghurt for instance and that is another 18 grams of carbs. or 72 [...]

When I was younger I used to spend too much time thinking and reflecting upon the “to be or not to be’s” of bodybuilding. First I learned the basic rules, then just like every student learns, I found out the rules had exceptions. And to top that off, I was told there was not one [...]

Your body tells the story of your life. What you’ve been doing, what you’ve been neglecting, what you’ve sacrificed and what you’ve achieved. Your body sends signals to the world around you about what you believe in, what you are here for and down what path you are walking. Your body is truly your document [...]

Life is too short to find and create enemies, life is too short to be frustrated with people who are not even in your inner circle. I don’t have time to argue, I have no time to prove my point by forcing my beliefs onto those who talk to me or who write to me. [...]

“Are people really that stupid” I cannot help wondering when I watch commercials for yoplait yoghurt or cheerios good for the heart and fruit juices that oh they managed to hide some vegetables in there so the kids will drink their daily recommendation of greens. I know, it’s not in our genes to decipher what [...]

Success does not just happen. You work for it. But in some weird way people prefer to call it luck. Or flow. Or something like “you were there at the right time at the right place”. Success does not fall into your hands or comes knocking on your door. You know what separates successful people [...]

Nothing bores me as writing about training recommendations and advice… It drains my creativity to write up programs, execution form, techniques etc. This is stuff for in real life training, in face to face situations. You never know how the reader interprets what I write and since I am a control freak about some areas, [...]

Pain is not suffering, pain is an overpass leading to greater achievements.  Discipline is mental toughening. Yes, it can be painful. But it’s a good kind of pain. It’s the “how much you want it” question. How well you tolerate whatever pain you are sensing is a sign of how great your desire is to [...]

Since I got my cat this week, I’ve had many “kid issues”. I got it confirmed what I always knew: raising a family is not what I want to do in my life. Right now, I actually feel it was enough commitment with that fish I was given by friends. I got anxiety from that [...]

I take pride in not lying people up their face. I take pride in not playing charades or trying to give the illusion of having everything “sorted out” without any challenges, issues or trauma. I don’t smile to hide my true emotions, if I smile it’s because it’s real. I write what I want because [...]
