I'm sitting in front of an executive at one of the biggest banks in Thailand and abruptly he says, "registration opens tomorrow!" It was a random comment at the time since we had been discussing the ever-so-annoying-coronavirus, but I shifted my attention to him and said: "huh?" He said, "Spartan Race Thailand!" I was in...

I brought Moustafo on a long time ago, and here I am bringing him on again because there was a particular pain threshold he passed that I'm very captivated by. Being able to overcome the amount of pain, a rain storm, fatigue and other things is just AMAZING. Reminds me of David Goggins, so here... Continue Reading →

This propelled him into the world of bodybuilding, powerlifting, and competing for several years. 8 months ago, he decided... Continue Reading →
Boy! This was an exciting podcast. Moustafo and Hakeem, two podcasters (in their own right) and fitness entrepreneurs who live in Malaysia, joined me this morning to talk about conditioning and Spartan training.

We chatted it up about him being a powerlifter and befriended each other within that time-frame of checking in to... Continue Reading →
It was a perfect question at a perfect time. Back in 2015, I put my mind, body and spirit to the test. In one of the most difficult races of my life, I saw everything flash before my eyes: ewwwww! Black man! Negro! Pimp! Black people are disgusting! -- yes, these are the comments that... Continue Reading →
Cardio, strength, core training, leg training....all of these things were done in bulk and now it's time to put it to the test. How do I feel going into the Spartan Super in Chon Buri, Thailand? I wouldn't say nervous, but not really sure what to expect. Have I trained like crazy since my Spartan... Continue Reading →
Now that the Spartan Race is over, I want to evaluate and see just how great these Energy Gels are. In 2015, I didn't have any protein bars on me or energy gels. On that specific race in Melbourne, Australia, I almost gave up. Was it because I lacked energy? Or lacked Will-Power in general?... Continue Reading →
