You might not know this but aside from having attained the highest rank in cheesecake mastery, I am also an ambitious scholar of meat mastery and beermanship. This last weekend, on Midsummer’s Eve, I decided it was time to introduce Marjan, an eager Leangains apprentice, to these fine arts. I told him it was time […]
New interview at Wannabebig. Why You Should Be Skipping Breakfast: The Secrets of Intermittent Fasting. Would appreciate readers dropping by and their sharing experiences with my method in the discussion thread dedicated to the article. See other interviews here.
I have previously hinted that intermittent fasting sidesteps the issues associated with stubborn body fat. Indeed I rarely find any need for advanced strategies to rid my clients of stubborn body fat.

Following up on my article about the fat fallacy and anti-fat propaganda of the 80s and 90s, I thought it would be fitting to cover the carbophobia of more recent times. The origins of carbophobia can be traced back to the late ’90s. Just about the same time that the public was starting to realize […]

The screw-ups can range from borderline deception and outright idiocy to a more subtle kind that is not apparent upon closer scrutiny and careful reflection by a third party. Sometimes the devil is in the details. In many cases the mass media is […]
In this article I wrote about a study that showed an anabolic rebound effect during feeding after fasted weight training.

What is this? The Gymboss is a small, easy-to-use, dual-mode, interval timer. What do I use it for? It can be used for a large variety of training protocols where time is an important variable. I’ve tested it for HIIT and weight training. Test number one: HIIT: 15 s sprint/45 s walking x 10. For […]
Random stuff I’ve either discussed or thought about in the last few days. You can read part one here. Some workouts don’t go as planned. Even if your diet has been on point and even if you feel well rested from your last session. If you are attuned to your body and its limits, you […]

In the Leangains Guide I wrote the following: My general position on the fasted phase is that it should last through the night and during the morning hours.
