Engage the after-burners…

Yesterday, I sent an image of a TravisMathew mannequin with a “dad bod”, and got some great feedback.  One of my favorites is from Rich, one of our Crew:  It’s the continued “dumbing down” in all areas of our society. I am 71 now and am dismayed by how we...

A very irritating TravisMathew t-shirt

Huh? There are two schools of thought here:TravisMathew (didn’t know that was one word until I looked it up this morning) is trying to be funny by leaning into our idiot male brains talking ourselves into dad bods being what the ladies want.TravisMathew is advertising to golfers who have given...

Cardio to lose fat? Nope.

January 17th is the official tipping point for new year’s resolutions to get in shape and/or lose weight.  Meaning, over half the folks will have given up by Friday.  Here in the Midwest, we’ve had a bunch of snow which has sped up that process.  If I were a betting man,...

Delicious Flintstone vitamins

When we grew up, me and my cousins spent a ton of time at our Grandma and Grandpa’s house here in St. Louis.  It’s one of those houses where, when you drive past today (I don’t recommend the neighborhood anymore), you can’t imagine 11 kids growing up in it.   And it’s...

What do protein supplements really do? Anything?

A few years ago, I had some sort of bacteria infection that gave me a terrible sore throat.  At first, I thought I had Strep throat, but I my body felt great.  My doctor tested me, and thankfully it was negative.  However, I couldn’t eat anything solid because it felt...

How protein controls how we look…

This morning, I’ve brushed off my very mediocre graphic design skills to visually illustrate how protein affects our bodies. In general… “Calories control whether your weight goes up or down.  Or, stays the same. But, what most people miss out on is that protein will control what you look like when you do get to...

Ask yourself these 2 crucial questions in 2025…

Yesterday, we talked about post-workout protein – I’ll get back to that soon enough. But today, let’s take a step back and ask ourselves two simple questions about our goals in 2025… 1. What’s different this time? First off, be proud of yourself for starting again. But, what is different about this attempt at...

What I drink after a workout

“What should I drink or take after a workout?” We get that question in the support email inbox A LOT. So, I’ve taken it upon myself to jump down the rabbit hole with both feet to figure out what works.  What doesn’t.  And what is total BS. Not surprisingly, after 15+ years in the fitness...

 The most insanely efficient calorie-burning training

If one more golfer tells me they need to lose weight, so they’re going to start jogging again, I may finally lose my marbles.  I have a buddy in Florida who has a boatload of triathlons under his belt.  And he’ll be the first to tell you that steady-state cardio...

Beware of January 17th!!!

It’s our final email of 2024, and we’re spending it on 2025-speak. We’ll be back to our usual witty and hilariousness on Jan. 2, but until then, very sincerely, thank you for sharing parts of your past year with us. So, without further ado, here we go… Our first goal of 2025 is...
