Prologue

After a few half-hearted attempts at starting a blog, I finally decided to blog about something that I'm truly passionate about - Weight training and the Fitness/Nutrition industry in general. NOWwwwwww before you get any ideas, I am not about re-iterating the usual spiel given by brawny jocks across every sweat-soaked gym around the block. This is going to be about proper weight training, fitness, nutrition, and general well-being information acquired from credible and expert fitness sources available. In essence, I wanna cut through all the crap and debunk all the myths people STILL believe based on anecdotal "expert" advice given by the run-of-the-mill personal trainers and allegedly experienced gym-goers.

I appreciate that more people nowadays are taking a step towards a better well-being by signing up for the gym and going there periodically to train and workout. But it kinda annoys me that people go about it in the wrong way....MOST of the time. So yeah, I finally decided that one day I wanna earn a personal training certification as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and constantly learn all I can about strength training and the fitness/nutrition industry. This, I hope, would enable me to influence and change the fitness industry for the better, enlightening the gym masses (perhaps even the roid-heads), and encourage people to live a healthier and better life.

This blog, I also hope, would be a tribute to all the fitness luminaries across the globe such as Michael Boyle (ATC), Stuart McGill (PhD) from Waterloo University, Men's Health trainers including Lou Schuler and Michael Mejia (CSCS), Mark Verstegen (CSCS) of Core Performance, Robert Dos Remedios (CSCS) of USA Collegiate athletic training fame, Alwyn Cosgrove (CSCS), and other influential and inspirational trainers. These people have perpetually endeavoured to inspire and preach to everybody the proper and functional way of training for a stronger and healthier body; therefore inspiring me to attempt to do the same, one piece at a time, starting with this blog.

The content of my posts will combine info from fitness sources as well as some aspects of my training experience. It is my intent to keep the information of this blog as coherent and accurate as possible, but human error is inevitable so if anything just holler. Finally, I hope that this blog will be of use to people in their never ending quest to improve their body, and also inspire people to never stop training harder and also smarter.


Cheers,

MY
