Hey hey, Happy Friday my fellow golf, fitness, fun, and TPC nut!  Lots to do today, so let’s jump right in…  So, piggybacking on yesterday’s email, here’s a problem I’ve been seeing with far too many of our guys...  The days that you don’t work out are NOT “cheat days!” ...

Get shredded without lifting exercising?

“Do you hate exercise?”  “Do you hate dieting?”  “Well, we’ve got a revolutionary system to get you shredded!”  …said every fitness shyster on the internet.  Thankfully, our Crew is smart enough to not fall for that line of BS.  But, along the lines of not doing anything, I get this...

Miss you already, February

Usually, I try to get right to the point in these emails (one of my favorite things to do), but I’m gonna steal the greatest intro I’ve read in a long time from The Hustle this morning: Welcome to March, the month of college basketball, green clothing with stupid sayings like “Back...
