PS: Train with me here!
I Couldn’t Stand Up. Now I’m Back!
I Couldn’t Stand Up. Now I’m Back!
I’ve been MIA for the past couple of months, 8 weeks to be exact.
The reason? An injury that took me out harder than expected.
For context, since 2015, I’ve only taken two real one-week holidays.
Even when I’m traveling, I keep my training consistent, even if I do less, I still go at it every day.
I’m a firm believer that momentum matters.
It’s easier to keep going than it is to start over. That mindset has guided me since 2008.
But in summer 2024, I made a mistake.
I spent three months obsessively training for a one-arm pull-up.
My right side was cruising, but I overworked my weaker left arm.
By November, I had developed tendonitis in my left forearm. So I pivoted my training.
I shifted focus to lower body work, 3 sessions per week, blending volume days and biomechanics sessions.
I paid special attention to hip internal rotation and adduction, aiming to improve my mechanics for running and overall performance.
I also increased my running...

Forget About Creatine! (Full Video)
Forget Creatine Do this Instead!
If you’re just starting out in fitness and diving into beginner calisthenics, it’s definitely time to rethink why you’re even reaching for that creatine tub in the first place.
Creatine might work for some people, especially those with naturally lower levels.
But not everyone responds the same.

You Don't Need Creatine, Here is Why!
You Don't Need Creatine, Here is Why!
Let’s get this out of the way: creatine isn’t evil.
It’s not poison.
It’s not going to instantly ruin your life.
But if you’re just starting out in fitness and diving into beginner calisthenics, it’s definitely time to rethink why you’re even reaching for that creatine tub in the first place.
Creatine is found naturally in foods like meat and fish. Your body also makes it on its own.
That’s right, your liver, kidneys, and pancreas are already hard at work turning it into creatine phosphate, which your muscles use for quick energy.
It’s basically your body’s own little energy booster when you’re sprinting or doing short bursts of intense effort.
So why are you taking creatine again?
Oh right, to get bigger. To look ripped. To be stronger.
Cool. But… why? Are you a professional athlete getting paid to perform?
Or are you just trying to look good in the mirror?
If the answer is vanity, you’re heading down the wrong road.
Here’s the thing:...
