So last week wasn't easy. I'm a stress eater and have been my whole life ... and to say I was stressed last week is an understatement. Having to deal with the death of my Gran was harder on me than I realized it would be so my week was spent thinking about sodas and … Continue reading Who Wants to Be King, Week 4
Hey! Anybody remember Mount Crushmore? If you're late to this party, Mount Crushmore was a program I made back in March where I brought my readers through 12 weeks of workouts and meal plans. I lost 3.4% body fat, gained 6.6 pounds of muscle and lost 7.3 pounds of fat. That was a win for … Continue reading Who Wants to Be King: The Introduction + 7 Questions + Week 1
Well ... I wrote this and saved it as a draft but never published. Pobody's nerfect, I suppose! Done. Concluded. Executed. Fulfilled. In the past. All over but the shouting.

And by meaty I mean we're going to be talking about food. Like, a lot. Food and supplements. Because while … Continue reading JTF’s Mount Crushmore, Week 10
Tired. Sore. Sunburned. That's been the response in my head for the last two days when people ask how I'm doing. Friday's workout did a number on me, I halfway messed up my shoulder in MMA last week. Some freak in Brazil compromised my bank card and spent $3,200 I didn't have, leaving me with … Continue reading JTF’s Mount Crushmore, Week 8
We're on the downhill, guys! Ultimately last week was a good week. I started with a new client, had a spa day, cooked an unreal dinner on Saturday night, had another extremely challenging MMA class on Sunday and spent some quality family time with Cara's folks to celebrate Mother's Day. On the downside, however, I … Continue reading JTF’s Mount Crushmore, Week 7
As we established a long time ago, the goal of JTF's Mount Crushmore was to reduce my body fat percentage. We do that by losing body fat while simultaneously increasing muscle mass. The entire program has two main components: eating and moving my ass. I've detailed my meal plan several times over the last several … Continue reading JTF’s Mount Crushmore Workout Plan Pt. 1
This is the halfway week of JTF's Mount Crushmore, y'all! It's flying by and I still have so much to share! I'm writing this on a Monday morning with arms and shoulders that are in permanent "typing" position -- not because I am just SO HYPED about writing this post but because it's nearly all … Continue reading JTF’s Mount Crushmore, Week 6
As the fifth week of JTF's Mount Crushmore begins, so does a new meal plan. I want to start it by referencing a topic one of my favorite online trainers James Smith said in an email this week. After a brief tour in the States, the Australian-native trainer discussed how much he's looking forward to … Continue reading JTF’s Mount Crushmore Meal Plan: Week 5
