I created Fighter Diet because I needed a strategy to maintain a ripped body 365 days a year. It’s the perfect program for those who cannot eat “whatever they want” and who have a big appetite. Fighter Diet is NOT a program for hardgainers or if you’re in serious need of tons of muscle yesterday. [...]

Everyone seems to be looking for the most effective, fastest workout. The shorter the better. Nobody seems excited about long grueling workouts, all people want is spending the least amount of effort and get the most amazing results. To me, training is my passion. I love working out. I love sweating, feeling the pain, the [...]

Competed and now don’t know what to do? Depending on your goals and what you did or didn’t do, you go about it different ways: Most people get struck by post contest frenzies and cannot control their diet when the show time is over. Out of the window is the discipline and basically you are [...]

It’s better to keep silent and wait til you have something good to say than say something everyone’s heard twenty times too many. Some times I read people’s rambles or listen to their talk and I wonder: are they actually not paying attention to what they are saying? One part of me wants to ask [...]

“These cheerios are made of whole grain and will reduce your cholesterol”, “all the whole grain your kids need!”, “finally a cookie made of whole grain your child will love!”. I’ve had it. I detest whole grain. Great corn and wheat industry, we understand you need us to feel good about munching on your sugary [...]

The hardest part of changing your life is to truly start doing it. As long as we’re still waiting to focus all our efforts on it, we believe we’re going to be stronger when we do, we’ll be tougher and more patient when we do, but then actually doing it, that’s the tough one. Not [...]

“Are you single?”. No. I’m taken. I’m out of reach. You see, I’m married to my passion, married to my drive, married to my mission. I am single and not looking. I do have my eyes open, or maybe should I say, my ears open, cause I trust what I hear more than what catches [...]

I never cease being surprised that people want to know my opinion about fitness-related matters. You see, it’s truly my personal opinion and not what is universally correct or proven you get when you ask about it, but as you wish, here are some recent things you emailed about: SALSA: Tomatoes and onions are two [...]

“what’s your body fat?” – a question I get daily. It’s funny cause I’ve never been obsessed with body fat numbers. I’ve always said “if you look fat in the mirror you are”. Two years ago in may 2009 I was weighing 121 lbs, very lean, and it was just a few months before I [...]

Yeah, you know the drill. It’s 3.30 am and your alarm goes off cause you’re doing cardio. You know you’re on time because the party goers crawl home to bed from the clubs now and that’s when you’re psyching yourself up to bust the crap out of you. You have ONE clear goal in mind, [...]

When I throw trash in the trash can and I have to focus on pointing and looking just at the trash can, it reminds me how focused you have to be to achieve ANY goals….. Defying the odds. Having faith. Consistent commitment. Never regretting, just forgetting. And when I wonder if I’d do it all [...]

There are two categories of people: those who dream of achieving something and those who achieve their dreams. I see myself belonging into the second one. My dream and my goal was to create a physical masterpiece, a piece of art of my body, displaying what in my opinion was ‘ a super woman’. Over [...]

A lean, sculpted masterpiece of a body is first created in the mind, then by your actions. It’s a game against your own human nature, it’s going beyond your ideas of what’s acceptable and reasonable to do to achieve your goals. Most people don’t reach to their full potential -not because they don’t have the [...]

To be a true fitness guru nowadays you shall have more “kudos” and respect if you 1) used to be very fat  2) are a mother of three or more  3) you used to be totally inactive couch potato. When possessing that resume you get tons of admiration: you changed your lifestyle and turned from [...]

When I was 100% determined to build as much muscle as I could without compromising being lean and cut (since that’s always been my number one desire), this is what I did day in and day out; I had 8-9 small meals a day. Most of them were super small since I had to keep [...]

Everyone who wants a fit, ripped body needs to pay a great detail to what’s on the dinner plate. We need to calculate, keep track, modify, change it up, keep track on body changes, mood etc. It’s the nature of the beast, you see great results don’t come by accident. They are planned and executed. [...]

My training is my passion. I love working out, I love the love-hate relationship to doing what it takes to keep the body I worked so hard for. My training is not my hobby. I never ever perceived it as such. It was always number one. As soon as I fell in love, training and [...]

To live in the past and to live in the future; two ways to escape seizing the day. To be on top, in your prime right here, right now, it’s like landing an air balloon on a spear. Suddenly, not a marathon, but a sprint where every millisecond counts, either your balloon catches the wind [...]
