I will be attending the MovNat (natural movement) Level 1 certification weekend in November 14-16 in Houston, TX. I’ve signed up for it a few months back and now the MovNat weekend is right around the corner. To spare you my own explanation of what MovNat is here is a paragraph from the MovNat website:…

I cannot tell you how often I have seen guys who move around pretty impressive weights in the gym but yet cannot do a single chin-up (much less a pull-up). I think that’s a pity. What’s the point of training separate muscle groups with huge weights but…
Like a lot of folks out there, I strive to be healthy and with this I try to do what I know should aid to my “good health” efforts and avoid doing what I think is clearly damaging to my health (and by extension physical performance). I like cooking with cow’s butter and I also…

During my competitive bodybuilding years I, just like everyone else in this particular field, was mainly interested in increasing my muscle size. This is no longer the case. Still, the science of inducing Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS) and counteracting the Muscle Protein Breakdown (MPB) fascinates me a lot. It still applies to what I do,…
Another video.. This time it’s one of my favorites – front lever, and an oldie one – the pullover. These two make a great combo. I used somewhat different settings to demonstrate the front lever-to-pullover combo – and I had a lot of fun! I hope you will, too, while watching the video… httpsss://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2mBMw0Oy5c
This is may be my second or third successful attempt at a slow 720 degrees rotation while keeping my body in a straight line as much as anatomically possible. Naturally, I am going through a Front Lever, then into a Back Lever and all the way down closing the circle. Then back up again –…
In my last article I wrote about the different dietary protein needs in general. I also expressed that although it is clear who needs baseline protein levels (current RDA), who needs more than that and who needs less, it is still not very clear how to determine the exact needs for each individual. In order…
Protein, as opposed to carbohydrates, is an essential macro nutrient – meaning you must have it in your diet because you can’t live without it – not for very long. Different people have different demands for the amount of protein they should consume. Earlier today I listened to a podcast by Chris Kresser. Chris discussed…
