Californication



Californication

I just wanted to give everyone a quick update to explain the lack of posts lately (especially after I vowed to post more in 2011 than I did last year). A few weeks ago Jen and I were out in Southern California visiting friends and looking for spots to live. It’s been a move we’ve been contemplating for a while now and decided it was finally the time to make it a reality. Luckily we were able to find an awesome spot right on the beach in Santa Monica (the [...]

My Trip to Renegade Gym by Grant Douglas



My Trip to Renegade Gym by Grant Douglas

Guest post by Grant Douglas from Australia, taken from the Renegade Inner Circle

My girlfriend and myself had been planning a holiday in the US for the end of 2010 to spend Christmas/New Years in New York and then move on to Washington D.C., Colorado and Vegas.

I have been following Jason’s writing/programs now for about 3 years and once we had decided we were going to be in New York for 10 days, there was no way I was going to miss the chance to make the pilgrimage and train at [...]

Sean Hyson Interview- Part 1



Sean Hyson Interview- Part 1

Today I have an interview I recently conducted with my brother-from-another-mother, fellow music lover and Seinfeld quoting, old school physical culture obsessed, first class gem of a human being, the lovely and talented…  Sean Hyson.

You may know Sean as the fitness editor of Men’s Fitness Magazine and may have seen his incredible before and after transformation pics. Today we’re going to get to know a little bit more about the man himself. I was going to have  him conduct the entire interview in his dead on, Christopher Walken impression but [...]
