“Be Breathed” is a concept I learned many years ago from Scott Sonnon. It is the idea of the movement breathing you, rather than you breathing…even unconsciously. If you missed the previous video and post, that covers the difference between anatomic (or natural) breathing and paradoxical breathing. You must understand …
Breathing Principle – Anatomic vs. Paradox
Understanding the breathing principle of anatomic (or natural) vs. paradox is very important when breathing is combined with any sort of movement. This is as opposed to just sitting there doing breathing exercises. This video breaks this down in simple to understand terms using squats as an example of how …
Fasting and Training
Mark asks: “Thanks very much for your interesting emails, and I really enjoyed the do’s and don’t health tips. Just a quick question- on your fasting days do you do any training on those days? I would be really interested to know what works best…” A great question. I recommend …
What do I use for Earthing?
Jay asks, “What do you use for earthing?” This is answered more fully inside the Get Grounding Report I give away when you sign up for these emails on my site. For those asking themselves, what is grounding or earthing that lays out all you need to know. Suffice to …
Get Fit…Be Happy, Make More Money
Had to share this study I came across last week… In a survey of two thousand people, one thousand of which exercised regularly and one thousand who didn’t, they found a few interesting correlations. Those that exercised: * Made on average $25,000 more per year. * Had more sex! * …
To Press a Lot You Must Press a Lot
“To press a lot you must press a lot.” This saying comes from Russian weightlifting circles. Kinda like a Zen koan, there is some enfolded meaning within it. One of the simple ways of looking at it is like this: “To press a lot of weight, you must press frequently …
16 Things I Avoid for Testosterone
Yesterday, I gave a list of 25 things I do to maintain high testosterone. (If you missed it, that list is here.) Today, we cover the equally important, possibly even more so, side of what NOT to do. 1. I don’t use conventional skin care products, like lotions. 2. I …
28 Things I do for Testosterone
The answer is a LOT of things. Besides getting injections, which I don’t necessarily recommend, there is no one thing that is going to give you great testosterone levels. Instead, if you’re looking at a natural approach, it’s about the stacking of many moderate to small things. While you can …
Soft vs. Hard Muscles
“What is this?? Are you saying a person can build soft muscles rather than hard ones??” -Ricky Two weeks ago, I wrote an email about muscle control to which I received this reply. Now, I’m not exactly sure what he meant by this. But here is what I mean by …
Afternoon vs. Morning Workouts
“Hey Logan, I notice you mentioned that best strength tends to occur in the afternoon. Is that just something you’ve noticed for yourself anecdotally or is that something you’re saying is true for generally everybody based on some research you’ve come across?” Vince I casually mentioned this benefit of afternoon …
What are Assistance Exercises for?
Yesterday, I talked about how many people do assistance exercises wrong. And that was to do them without rhyme or reason, simply because you think or heard they were a good idea. Because this idea of assistance exercises often gets attached to the idea of isolation exercises (like those hamstring …
How to Train Your Legs WRONG
I remember way back when I worked out at a 24 Hour Nautilus (this was before they were bought out and changed their name to 24 Hour Fitness). Here’s what my leg workout looked like: 4 sets of barbell squats 4 sets of leg press 3 sets of hamstring curls …
When Getting Injured is a Good Thing
This is kind of funny… And it’s happened more than once in a similar fashion too. So, I’m filming the Intuitive Mobility course. Module six, or the bonus module, is about using the Intuitive Mobility practice in order to fix pain and injuries. I’ve touched on elements of this here and there, …
Movement Feedback Systems
Isn’t it funny where the ‘AHA’ moments strike? A couple months back, I was at a marketing seminar. The speaker was talking about feedback systems, specifically his hobby of creating audio speakers, and how this related to marketing. Well, just the previous day I had been filming Module 5 of …
What is Mobility?
Mobility. Undoubtedly, you’ve heard this word before. The definition is: “the ability to move or be moved freely and easily.” That’s a pretty good definition…though maybe not defined as clearly as could be useful. One of my favorite things I learned from Frankie Faires: how he talked about athletic qualities. …
