I am obsessed with the bridges here in Pittsburgh. They remind me of all the strong steel strength we have in this incredible city! Speaking of bridges, I […]
Recap of American Ninja Warrior: The Awesome, The Off-Putting, and The Course That Lies Ahead
I found myself staring at the nations toughest obstacle course. The Philadelphia round of American Ninja Warrior testing was about to begin.

Motivation and Muscle, and Thinking Through Fear

The “What the Hell?!?!?” Effect- Pressing Variants, The Deadlift and Climbing
In our publication, “Powerful Pressing”, I took some time to talk about this unique little thing I like to call the “WHAT THE HELL!?!?” effect.

Welcome to a New Era of Strength!
It’s been nearly 4 years since I have been blogging my way through the internet talking about all things related to healthy eating, strength training, and living life to the fullest in Pittsburgh, the city I love so much.

The Irish Jig Workout
One of my favorite punk rock bands of all time is Flogging Molly. I have seen this band live when they came to Warped Tour a few years ago in Pittsburgh. I must say, nothing stirs up my adrenaline levels quite like the fast paced music from this Irish legend! While rocking out and working […]
