Alkaline Water: Miracle Beverage or Total Scam?

Prefer listening to reading? Check out our podcast on alkaline water here Hey there, I'm glad you're here because if you're like me, you probably love deep diving. There is a plethora of gold in the world of health and fitness, and there's also a bunch of BS. And today, we're going to figure out if Alkaline water is worth its weight in gold or if it's just another trendy health scam. Let's start by briefly covering what Alkaline water is and the claims of its health benefits. What is alkaline water? Let's go back to middle school chemistry for a second. If you got past 6th grade and you're even semi-literate, you probably know what pH is. It's the measure of ....

The 3 WORST Workout Routine Mistakes (Part 3 of 3)

We're in a war, and it's constant. It's a push and pull that never seems to go away. And the problem is... Most of us aren't even aware it's happening. It's the battle between sticking to what works while adopting the "new and improved." You see, the challenge in fitness (or anything else) is that there is a constant tension between "tried and true" and "new and improved." Old School vs. New School... Yin and Yang... These two forces are always in competition for dominance... I like to think of the Old School as an old guy named... Ernie. (That's the oldest sounding name I name think of!) Ernie is safe, he's reliable, ....

Gear List For Machu Picchu

Our next PCF Adventure club is nearly here! As someone who's backed thousands of miles, I can tell you that the right gear is make or break. It is the difference between an incredible trip filled with fond memories and a miserable trip filled with regrets. When you're on the trail you want to be thinking about how amazing the view is, not how miserable you are because you made a poor choice in gear. Trust me, I've made a lot of mistakes. We're now less than a month out and it's time to make sure you've got everything you need. As an experienced backpacker, I've been getting a ton of questions on what gear I use. In the video I've embedded I'll go through every piece of gear in more ....

The 3 WORST Workout Routine Mistakes (Part 2 - Recovery)

You're back! Welcome welcome... If you're just starting to read this series, you can go back and read part 1 later . It's not a prerequisite for this section of the 3 part series. So, back to it. We're talking about the 3 WORST Workout Routine Mistakes that are killing your results. Can I tell you a quick story? When I was in Marine Corps Bootcamp my Drill Instructors nicknamed me... Fallopian Tubes... I remember it like it was yesterday. It was our first strength test, and part of the USMC strength test is pull-ups, which is not my strong suit. I stepped up to the pull up bar with where the DI was staring at me like he hated every inch of ....

The 3 WORST Workout Routine Mistakes (Part 1 of 3)

How many times have you started a new workout routine? You get excited, commit to the process, and weeks or months later, you find yourself utterly frustrated with your results (or lack thereof)? It takes a lot of time to get yourself psyched up for a new routine. It takes a lot of energy to get started. And often costs a fair amount of money to get a routine, whether from a trainer or an app, or something else. To invest all that time, money, and energy and be left with little to nothing to show for it is highly discouraging. What if I told you, assuming you have a good plan, that virtually all fitness struggles come down to 3 significant mistakes that people make? Well... ....

This Hormone Is Ruining Your Results

Warning: If you're not paying attention to this one hormone, there is a good chance it's causing you to burn muscle and build fat . You read that right.

Intermittent Fasting: What does the research reveal?

"I went into this hoping to demonstrate that this thing I've been doing for years works, but as soon as I saw the data, I stopped," said UCSF researcher Dr. Ethan Weiss. For 7 years now, Dr. Weiss has been experimenting with Intermittent Fasting. Eventually, he decided to run a randomized clinical trial to get some evidence. And the result of that study is what you'll learn about in this blog... Proponents of intermittent fasting defend it like a mamma bear defends her cubs after a long winter fasting in a cave... Coincidence? At least 4 or 5 times a week, someone asks me... "So, what do you think about Intermittent Fasting?" Or "Does Intermittent Fasting really work?" ....

Carry Your Shield (2 Min Read)

Our current situation reminds me of a story I heard about the Roman legions from Ryan Holiday. During times of war, the Roman legionnaires had a rule. You could drop your spatha (sword), drop your spear, and even lose your armor, but there was one thing you couldn't drop, your shield. Dropping your shield in battle was punishable by death. That's how seriously the Romans took their simple shields. The reason was quite simple. Your spatha, spear, and armor were only there to protect you, but your shield was there to protect everyone around you. For that reason, it was considered the most potent tool the legions had in warfighting. You carried your shield for the ....
