Chances are if you're a regular reader of this website you're more than reasonably strong, tough, determined, fit, and maybe just a bit stubborn (my superpower). Those qualities make you a very dangerous person in a Black Friday madness rush situation. Seriously, you could probably injure some people and/or get arrested!

Epic Turkey Almond Cranberry Bar
After having seen friends online talk about these bars, when I saw a couple of them at Whole Foods I just HAD to try them. More reviews coming as I eat them, but I am very happy to report this first bar, the Turkey Almond Cranberry bar from Epic was delicious! Gluten free, milk free, and soy free, its kind of like a softer, very easy to eat jerky. The meat is ground and … [Read more...] about Epic Turkey Almond Cranberry Bar
Epic Grass Fed Beef Habanero Cherry Bar
It's a wonderful thing to find a protein snack that isn't somehow chocolate covered or some freaky sweet flavor... Really pleased with the bars I've found from Epic, and the fact that this is made from actual factual grass fed beef. And while it made me a little thirsty (a little bit salty), I really enjoyed the complex flavor - smokey, tangy (from the cherries which are NOT … [Read more...] about Epic Grass Fed Beef Habanero Cherry Bar

Here's a collection of videos for you today!

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder?
Feels like we've been a little out of touch with each other lately, but I promise to stay in town for a couple weeks at least. The schedule has been pretty wild this month, not that I'm complaining. Not one bit. NOPE! Anyway, in case you haven't heard, the first ever PCC (Progressive Calisthenics Certification) Instructor Workshop last weekend was not only a ton of fun, but a … [Read more...] about Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder?
Notes on Primal Move Ocala, Organic Food, and a Fairly Evil Workout
Yesterday's Primal Move workshop in Ocala, Florida was a TON of fun. We had a smaller group than some of the other workshops I've led before, but that ended up being just fine given the size of our location. Everyone who attended was very engaged, asked wonderful questions, and worked together as a great group. I'm curious to see what they come up with in their own training, … [Read more...] about Notes on Primal Move Ocala, Organic Food, and a Fairly Evil Workout
Ostrim Beef & Ostrich Snack Sticks
I've actually enjoyed Ostrim for a while now - having discovered it at a Planet Smoothie about 3 years ago. Thankfully, you can order it by the box online from places like GNC.com at a nice handy discount. If you want to just try one or two, they're available at the retail stores too. I've purchased boxes of it fairly regularly as an alternative to the usual collection of … [Read more...] about Ostrim Beef & Ostrich Snack Sticks

Yes, “but you’re different” and other interesting excuses for unhealthy eating on the road…
The question of the day was "Well if you don't eat at McDonald's and you're on the road and extremely hungry, what do you do?" Usually accompanied by the phrase that I like to rail against with actions every day "Well, you know you gotta." No, I don't "gotta," there are always other ways. Raise the flag of rebellion! Decent snacking in the face of mass marketed crap food! … [Read more...] about Yes, “but you’re different” and other interesting excuses for unhealthy eating on the road…
