The latest episode of Renegade Radio features Food Network celebrity chef, the star of Restaurant Impossible, and the owner of a massive set of guns, Robert Irvine. Robert is a fitness freak who was once named one of the 25 Fittest Men in America by Men’s Fitness Magazine. At 49 years old, he always finds time to train seven days per week. He knows that fitness is an essential part of his life and never let’s it suffer no matter how busy he is. And he’s pretty damn busy. He spends over 345 days a year on the road filming,… continue reading.

Friday night Jen and I finally finished watching the TV show, Lost. Man, did that ending suck. I’d heard about it for years from everyone. They were even still joking about it on the Oscars a couple months back. I said to Jen, “we put in all that time for that?!” I was so disappointed. All that for nothing. Which is exactly how people feel after finishing many of the popular training programs out there today. They hop around their… continue reading.

I can’t remember exactly when I stopped living in the past. But I do know that its effect on my life was profound. I used to sit around and reminisce all the time. Get sad and depressed. Even wish I could go back. I used to be crushed when things ended. Or when I moved out of a house/apartment full of great memories. I had an incredibly hard time giving things away because I couldn’t let go. Of anything… “How awesome was that when?” “I really miss those times.” “Man, I’d give anything to go back to college.” “I… continue reading.

After the last Renegade Q&A, I asked for more of your questions. My team was immediately flooded with hundreds of emails. Obviously I can’t answer them all in one setting so I decided to break it up a bit. Over the next few weeks, we will be releasing a Q&A podcast on Training, Nutrition, Productivity, Business & Entrepreneurship and a few miscellaneous questions. This episode is dedicated to all of the training questions that were sent in. I discuss some of the best way to structure your workouts for physique transformation and enhanced performance.

In this episode, I answer some of the most commonly asked questions about nutrition, supplements and cardio. Does fruit really make you fat? Can you heal your gut issues naturally?

Today’s Podcast Topics Include: The Renegade Diet revisited Does fruit make you fat? How much protein do you really… continue reading.

I always figured the harder ya work, the better your results. And that works incredibly well with strength training… for about 6-8 weeks. Then you’re fried. Overtrained. Joints are aching. Sleep goes to shit. You’re tired but wired. Anxious. Irritable. In a bad mood. Sex drive drops. Can’t get stronger anymore. Weights feel heavy as f*ck. Why does that always happen? Because the body ain’t designed for that kind of pummeling on a regular basis. No sports practices are conducted with such balls to the wall intensity.  You always leave… continue reading.

You often hear that skinny guys, aka “hardgainers,” should do nothing but the big power lifts. That’s sh*t advice. Most “hardgainers” have pencil necks, pipe cleaner forearms, string bean calves and tiny joints. They’re also tight and immobile. All this is what makes you a “hardgainer.” If being skinny was your only issue but you had big joints and the right structure for big lifts getting jacked would be easy. You could do any of those typical programs and you’d feel great and get huge. But you don’t, so you… continue reading.

When reading about training it’s easy to get confused. So lemme simplify it. Progressive overload will always be king. Period. The end. Every other factor like volume, rest periods, etc. is finite. You can do more sets but only up to a point. You can reduce rest periods but where do you go when you’re at zero? The only thing that matters is this- are you making strength gains? “But what about guys like The Rock? I see him doing incline dumbbell presses with no more… continue reading.

An RSC Exclusive Report – Sign up HERE to become a member today. Is Alcohol Really Going To Ruin Your Gains? by RSC Asst Coach Jack Penner A fundamental aspect of the Renegade philosophy lies in enjoying life as much as possible. If this lifestyle of strength training and being jacked leads to a life full of workouts without any fun, you’ve wasted your time. As Stephen King wrote, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” But many of you have a problem. Your dedication to the iron game leads to just that. continue reading.

Today’s Podcast Topics Include: Some of the biggest struggles… continue reading.

Not really. Not at all, actually.  I love Dave. Huge fan of everything he does. I watched his new Netflix specials recently and laughed my ass off. But I really cringed at one point. Not because he said something politically incorrect or insensitive. That’s comedy… something that, sadly, needs explaining to a lot of people these days.   No, what got me was when Dave said that salt is what’s killing more people than anything else. Ugh… Here we go again. continue reading.
