Covering everything from training and nutrition, to lifestyle and stress.
Muscle Nerds delve into a variety of topics in their online blog.
Too many people are certification sluts.
They’re frequently seen on the seminar circuit. Have a heap of unfinished online courses. And just bank up certificates to frame and hang on their wall.
Now, doing lots of continuing education is, in our opinion, a really goo...
You know, this technique debate is a funny thing.
On one side there are people who say that technique is the most important thing in strength training; then the other side is people who disagree, say it doesn’t matter at all, and think that the people who say it’s important are all idiots. In the f...
Sets, reps, exercises, tempo, rest…all variables we discuss when talking about periodizing training. We can also have long chats about rotating various pieces of equipment, and exercises as well.
Angles, barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, specialty bars, the selections can be endless. Supportive gea...
Happy New Year everyone!
If you’re like me, your discipline wavered for a bit at the end of 2021. Hey, it’s the holidays, we’ve had a rough two years and we deserve to let loose a bit! Â
Maybe you also took it a bit too far; I know I certainly did, and it’s time to pull off the holiday weight! Los...
So you want to finally knuckle down and get a gnarly set of abs?
Hey, it’s 2022 and this is YOUR year to finally do it! Or maybe you’ve fallen off track the past two years and want to get back into epic shape, and you want to do it quickly.Â
There’s nothing wrong with that, but there are some boxe...
When we think of food we don’t usually think of morality. I did, and I took it to an extreme.
Orthorexia is a disordered eating pattern in which your thoughts surrounding the “cleanness” of food, analysis of macronutrient intake, and exertion of control over what you eat and where it comes from dra...
Here are 32 things that coach Shane O'Leary has learned in his 32 years!
1. You’re never too old to push yourself. For my birthday I did a high ropes and zip-lining course. I’m more of a land mammal than a heights person, but man did I learn how far I can take my body if I learn to quieten my mind....
Food is fuel, but it’s also more.
This is going to be a bit of a trip down memory lane and involve some stories so if you just want straight science and results, sorry but this one is a bit deeper.
“To look at any food as “cheating” takes the joy out of life. It also tends to create a poor relatio...
1. Keep things simple until they need to be complex. In my experience, the most successful eaters start initially with limited variety, and they build variety over time, once they grow momentum and get a good understanding of how food fuels them and makes them feel. Eating the same (or similar) food...
The compound in Crucera-SGS, sulforophane glucosinolate is an antioxidant extract from broccoli seed. When ingested, an enzyme found in the gut, myrosinase, converts the glucosinolate to its active form, sulforophane.
Sulforophane activates ARE, the antioxidant response element, and increases antio...
Building muscle while burning fat. Muscle GAINZ while in a deficit.
The holy grail.
Sounds impossible, doesn’t it? In fact, we’ve been told that it’s impossible for decades. What if I told you that it’s in fact NOT impossible and that current research backs it up. Â
The traditiona...
“OH SHIT”
I knew I’d really done it this time.
I’d finally hurt myself in an awful way. Over 34 years of lifting and training and I finally did it. I hurt myself in a way that I knew wouldn’t be easy to fix.
You see, I had been working around a niggling injury for a few years. This weird right ...
