There’s an old saying, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” In simpler terms this means in order to accomplish anything great in your life you’re going to have to be willing to take some risks.  When I first met Brian Pannuzzo, he was a Wallstreet Executive and a 7-figure earner.  He had money, nice cars, expensive clothes and a beautiful home.   He was successful by most people’s standards. And, he was unfulfilled.   Realizing the job, title, high income and all the toys in the world couldn’t bring him enduring happiness and fulfillment, he decided to risk it all to pursue his… continue reading.

In 2016 Matt Dawson, the Creator and Founder of Dawson’s Peak, was successful by most people’s standards but he still felt an unshakeable sense of unhappiness and lack of fulfillment. He became increasingly disheartened because of his lack of a greater purpose. The best way he knew to bring about dramatic change was to intentionally put himself into uncomfortable situations and strive to push his own limits. With no previous climbing experience, he climbed some of the most extreme mountains in the world including Mt. Everest, Kala Patthar, Gokyo Ri and Cho La Pass. Spending his days… continue reading.

To say Tony Jeffries is “successful” is an understatement equal to saying the NY Yankees have “good” hitters. It just ain’t enough. Tony is undefeated as a professional boxer, is a 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, holds 5 European medals and is a 7-time National Champion. For most people that’s more than a lifetime worth of achievement, and enough to make them spend the rest of their days on easy street, but not Tony. After his decorated boxing career was over, his drive and passion for helping people led him to the fitness industry. continue reading.

I get a lot of questions about whether my methods work for females. The answer is a resounding YES. I’ve trained females for basketball, tennis, field hockey, lacrosse, softball, and professional wrestling. For 25+ years I’ve helped them build muscle, lose fat, get strong, explosive, and athletic AF. The overriding principles of the Renegade Method are the same whether you’re male or female. It’s just that my audience in the gym and online tends to be 80% guys so you don’t hear about it as much. But we still train in a… continue reading.

Summer is coming. There’s no time to waste doing stuff that doesn’t work. The # 1 proven, time-tested way to make structural changes in your body is to place mechanical tension on the muscles with heavy strength training. This is true whether you’re male or female, old or young. It’s not cardio, not hour long mobility flows, not burpees, not juggling weights, not battling ropes, not light complexes, not “functional training” where you stand one one leg on balance boards and bosu balls, not Pilates, not yoga, not getting drenched in sweat or breathing like a locomotive during some type… continue reading.

Over the last few years you may have heard some relatively new (less than 10 years of real world experience) trainers and online fitness guru’s regurgitate the following statement, “volume is the key driver of hypertrophy gains.” That statement is continually made these days because of some studies showing that those who did more sets gained more muscle. But it’s hardly conclusive and hardly the advice that everyone should adhere to. If you lack the requisite 10-25 years of real world coaching experience that it takes to wade through all this stuff, you just go with whatever’s popular at the… continue reading.
