I just went on a full on diatribe with one of my buddies who’s also pretty big into fitness about the validity of pork when dieting and thought you could back me up. You see many people don’t realize that pork chops, pork loin, and pork tenderloin are all as lean if not LEANER than many other cuts of chicken. PLUS, for those budget minded folks, it’s usually cheaper than chicken breasts (the official meat of dieting bodybuilders)… Before you chime in with what your thoughts are, hear me out on why I think pork’s got such a shitty rep. Homer Simpson, albeit a cartoon character, embodies the quintessential fat American dad. And he has a reputation for loving two foods: donuts and pork chops. Donuts are obviously delicious but void of any nutritional value. But pork chops??? What the hell?! Why must they suffer this unjustified reputation?! Dont let this nonsense fool you: pork chops, pork loin, and pork tenderloins are a PERFECT match for anyone wanting to lean up while enjoying tasty grilled meats. I wanna know what you think..is pig a go or a no-go when dieting down??? Don’t forget your daily check in! Hands up…KEEP FIGHTING!!!!

Was able to break away from the family this morning and get into a tree stand. Anyway, didn’t see much but DID manage to come up with some ideas for us here. You see, I’m always looking to figure out how to push you guys and provide the type of accountability that helps you get the MOST out of your God given potential. One of the ideas I thought about recently was doing a 30 day transformation challenge with you all… Any takers?

Just a gentle reminder that SOMETHING is always better than NOTHING when it comes to the work we invest into our goals… Not every day you train is gonna be a walk off home run. Some days you just gotta accept the fact that you need to throw down a sacrifice bunt to achieve some degree of progress. When that’s the case, which these days as a parent and business operator is more often than not, you have to learn not to get down on yourself. Instead, take what the day gives you and focus on progress over perfection… What work did YOU manage to put in today? Chime in with your daily check in!!! Hands up…KEEP FIGHTING!!!

Before I film a YouTube video that will UNDOUBTEDLY get me a lot of hate, I wanna know your opinion on the matter. What’s more important for your overall health? DIET or EXERCISE? Let me know your opinion and why… Hands Up…KEEP FIGHTING!!!
