by Matt Weik, BS, CSCS, CPT, CSN It’s safe to say that we are all addicted to our phones. In fact, there are even studies being done looking at how addictive our phones have become and what it’s doing to…

by Matt Weik, BS, CSCS, CPT, CSN Listen, I’m going to shoot straight with you because that’s what I do. As someone who drinks energy drinks daily (yes, daily), I’ve heard all the fear-mongering about ingredients. The latest controversy? Cyanocobalamin…

Well that didn’t take long. I can now officially say that I’m no longer impressed with Sam Sulek. For many months and even years he has been on top. It’s crazy how time flies. In just a matter of a few weeks this guy exploded on the social media scene. He had a good physique, he loved to train, and he was polarly opposed to competing. He didn’t understand the purpose behind the painstaking aggravation of caloric manipulation, endless hours of cardio, and posing in front of a mirror only to perfect it for a panel of judges who he didn’t know from a hole in the wall.

The Arnold Classic is just about four weeks away and there’s growing talk around the water cooler and up in the cheap seats that’s concerning. It seems everyone in the peanut gallery is under the impression that Derek is way behind and had better start playing catch-up or he won’t have a shot of coming within striking distance of Samson Dauda. I, personally, don’t subscribe to these naysayers very much. It’s extremely common with this type of competition.

by Matt Weik, BS, CSCS, CPT, CSN TikTok seems to be trendy when it comes to health and fitness. The Oatzempic trend is no different. People have always seemed to chase miracle solutions for weight loss, from cabbage soup diets…
