#1 most dangerous movement in sports

ExternalOnly one more day until the PGA Championship fun begins. If The Masters was any indication, I think we’re in store for another doozy.  How cool would it be for two golfers to win their career Grand Slam in back-to-back majors? Maybe Spieth’s surgically repaired wrist from last year is what will make...

How to stay off the IR

Golf season is here.  And I see golfers making the same mistake every year around this time.  They dust off their clubs.   Break out the polo shirts.   Take a look in the mirror.   And panic b/c the spring is here and the vision they had on January 1st of looking...

TODAY ONLY – Rare life wisdom from a teenager

This morning, my son did not wake up on time for school, so he was in a panic so he didn’t miss his ride.  Instead of his usual excuses of “the alarm didn’t go off”, “it’s not my fault”, or “I don’t know what happened”, he took ownership.  He said,...

49 protein studies can’t be wrong

Yesterday, I introduced you to a clear protein from 1stPhorm that I’ve really been digging lately, but wanted to answer the most common question I get about protein shakes…  “Does this s*** really do anything?”.  Rather than listen to me, here is a study from the British Journal of Sports Medicine of 49 studies...

A refreshing protein shake? I wasn’t buying it…

If you’re like me, the last thing you want to drink is a heavy, milky shake when it’s a thousand degrees outside. Well, our guys over at 1stPhorm read my mind and created Phormula-1 Clear (yes, you read that correctly, it’s actually clear) protein shake: I was very, very skeptical at first, but...

Behind the scenes with The Crew…

All week, I’ve been talking about our awesome field trip to 1stPhorm’s HQ here in St. Louis.  Rather than talk about it again, take a look for yourself:  WATCH IT HERE  There was no fluff.   No shortcuts.   Just doing the work.  We don’t care about being fancy — we care about being...

How you do ANYTHING is how you do EVERYTHING

Yesterday, I told you about our recent visit to 1stPhorm HQ, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it last night lying in bed.  Apparently, the experience has left a lasting impression on me.  Specifically, something you hear a lot from them: "How you do anything is how you do everything."​ And how this principle resonates deeply...

Saturday field trip at 1st Phorm: a different culture

This past Saturday morning, 10 of our 18STRONG crew took a field trip to 1stPhorm HQ here in St. Louis. Ryan and I have been there, so we were really excited for some of our local golfers to check it out.Of course, it’s a top notch facility, but what truly left a...

Fat guys with crazy mobility?

One of the biggest mistakes we all make (I still do it all of the time) when it comes to fitness is judging the book by its cover.  When you see a lean guy with low body fat %, I guarantee you assume that he is mobile and stretchy as...

Resting does NOT mean cheating

If you’re following along, yesterday was Easter, which means a lot of food and a few cold beer trappings.  But, it was a Sunday, so why not, right?  Of course, every now and again, it’s fine to over-indulge a bit – we’re here to enjoy ourselves.   However, here’s a problem...
