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...
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...
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...
“Our chairs are killing us!” I’m sure you’ve heard some version of that the past few years. My chair has yet to attack me, but I understand the point is that most need to get up and moving to combat a sedentary lifestyle. More on that in a second… So,...
So, the PGA is taking a page from MLB and testing out a “pitch clock” to speed up the pace of play starting today at the RBC Heritage. Instead of a pitch clock, they’re going to measure the impact when golfers are allowed to use rangefinders – certainly helps me...
Man, I’m still having a little post-Masters depression today. Hard to believe we’re going to have to wait a full year for the awesomeness again. But, that’s part of what makes it so special. Since we’ve still got Rory on the brain, a top 1% of best golfers all-time, let’s talk about…The 1...
So, the total length of Augusta is around 7,400 yards, which is about 4.25 miles. Obviously, the golfers don’t walk in a straight line from tee to green, so the typical walk is 6-7 miles per round. For me, you can safely double it as I’m sure I’d spend most...
Yesterday, yours truly was down at Augusta for Monday’s practice round. And if you’ve been following along, we got rained out. Sure, that’s a long way to go to rained out, but my first experience at the Masters was still awesome. They do soooo many things great. Got me thinking…we...
The average male in the USA lives to 74 years old. That means you are middle aged at 37. Only 1 in 5 men will see 85. By getting fit, strong and healthy we see people extending the quality & length of their life by 10-20 years The only way...
Yesterday, we talked about the deeper emotional reasons we want to get in shape. Today, let’s change gears, and keep it light on the surface. If you’re like most of us, you’ve pictured yourself on the cover of Men’s Health rocking your 6-pack. But, it hasn’t happened yet (the 6-pack and the...
