Guest Post by the creator of The Truth About Fat Burning Foods, Nick “The Nutrition Nerd” Pineault Your healthy food sucks. Wait a minute…. What the hell is this nerd talking about? Let me explain. What I mean is… your healthy food probably sucks. You know the grass-fed beef, free-range eggs, alternative sweeteners, olive oils, etc. that you’re paying a boatload of money for? They’re not what you think. After spending hundreds of caffeinated hours in front of my computer being the real self-educated nutrition nerd I am, I realized that most people get scammed when shopping for… continue reading.

Hey Renegades, I’ve got a great interview for you today with my colleague, Martin Rooney, the creator of the Training For Warriors system. Check it out… Jason:  Let’s start with an exercise that both of us share a common love for – sprinting. Why should people be doing it? Martin:  Thanks Jason.  Funny we start with sprinting because I say that sprinting is the exercise that most people stopped doing a long time ago.  Most trainers aren’t doing any speed work and it’s a shame. Lifting weights and then sitting on the couch is not complete training.  Sprinting, even… continue reading.

* This post was inspired from countless interactions I’ve had over the last few years with college kids who are getting nowhere with their training and missing out on lifetime memories in the process. You’re living in The Age of Distraction and it’s killing your gains. You’re suffering from information overload, which has led to the destruction of your social life. You’ve got to give up the over thinking and start living. You can’t be holed up in your dorm room overanalyzing every aspect of your training and diet all day long. There are girls outside and if you… continue reading.

It’s pretty common practice in the fitness industry to tell females to throw out the scale. We say this because their goal is to lose fat and the scale doesn’t always accurately reflect what’s actually going on. More often than not it becomes a source of mental torture. What I’ve come to also realize, is that guys trying to gain muscle should throw out the scale too. I mean take that fuckin thing and heave it into the nearest dumpster immediately. Why? Because guys trying to get jacked obsess over the scale the same way that girls trying to… continue reading.

Guest Post by Tyler Bramlett, Creator of the CT-50 System One of the most common mistakes people make is getting married to the idea that the only way you can progress with your training is by increasing the amount of muscle you have or how much weight you can lift. While it’s nice to stand in front of the mirror and know for certain that you’ve packed on a few pounds of lean muscle or shed some unwanted body fat, there’s another area where you can make some serious gains. You see, strength training… continue reading.

Guest Post by Dave Dellanave I don’t watch a lot of TV, but when I am traveling I always turn the TV on in my hotel room and I swear to you the show MythBusters follows me around. Every time I flip the TV on, the two main characters, Jamie and Adam, are dissecting some new half-truth. I love the show because they savagely, gleefully test the validity of a wide range of myths, movie scenes, YouTube videos, and news stories — often leveraging explosions and destruction to put the term “indestructible” to the test. Often,… continue reading.

I turned 39 yesterday. I woke up and walked out on the balcony to practice some deep breathing, as I do each day, and noticed an incredible sight. The beach and surrounding parking lots were nearly empty. There was hardly anyone on the bike path. All of the summer tourists had disappeared overnight. I breathed a sigh of relief. Now I know how the locals must have felt the day after Labor Day each year at the Jersey Shore when we all cleared out until the next Memorial Day. As a kid I always thought I had the worst… continue reading.
