I can relate to this question. My years throughout college and after I rarely did any form of cardio exercise. I lifted weights several days a week and moved at a pretty fast clip when I was in the weight room, so I didn’t feel the need. More importantly, I just didn’t like it. The […]
The post I have always been into lifting and my girlfriend has been on me to run a half marathon. As you can imagine, from a life of lifting I’m not exactly swift like a deer if you know what I mean.

The post Hey Brett! Congratulations on winning the overall at the NPC Mr. Missouri. What, if any, changes are you going to make to your training for the North Americans? I gotta ask you, what prompted you to compete at the Missouri State? I saw you won the overall at the NPC Muscle Mayhem last May so aren’t you already qualified for national bodybuilding competition?
