Blakley and I have been working out at the wellness center here in Fredericksburg, TX, and I have to say—it’s awesome to see so many people in the gym, putting in work.

I overheard a conversation at the gym last week that reminded me of a common mistake people make…

Most people trying to get in shape and change their bodies focus on the wrong thing.

They chase an often arbitrary goal weight, cut calories aggressively, do a ton of cardio, and wonder why they don’t feel better—or why their body still doesn’t look the way they hoped.

Welcome to The Fitness Feud—Where we separate fitness fact from fiction, one question at a time!”

Let’s see how much you know about training, nutrition, and body composition.

The perfect workout program doesn’t exist?

Let’s ask Dwight.

Monday morning. You’re busy. But what’s for dinner?

I know you don’t have time to grill a steak, bake chicken, or cook taco meat every night.

That’s why prepping protein in bulk once or twice a week is a game-changer. It keeps you on track with your goals—and out of the DoorDash app.

One of our go-to meal preps? Buffalo Chicken. It’s quick, delicious, healthy, and easy to clean up.

Here’s how to make it:

As we get older, things naturally change.

We take on more family responsibilities.
We feel the financial squeeze of expensive… well, everything!
We notice new wrinkles, sags, and scraggly grey hairs that pop up overnight.

But some so-called “inevitable” parts of aging? They’re actually optional.

And after three years of doing everything “right,” I looked in the mirror and realized something frustrating:

I was still… skinny.

But not the good kind of lean and muscular. I was skinny fat.

What Do You Really Want?

Want to drop 5 pounds in 3 days for your friend’s wedding?

Do a juice detox and enjoy being miserable for 72 hours.

Need to lose 20 pounds before your high school reunion?

Pick a fad diet—any fad diet. Fasting, Keto, Carnivore… and do your best to stick to the rules.

Want to lose weight fast, even if you gain it all back the second life gets busy?

You ever been in a conversation where you have no clue what’s being said, but you just smile, nod, and pray no one asks for your opinion?

Like when your friend starts talking about their crypto investments:
Them: “Yeah, I’m staking Ethereum on a DeFi platform with yield farming.”
You: “Oh, for sure. Gotta maximize that… uh… blockchain synergy.” 👀

If you’re serious about getting stronger, losing fat, and feeling like a functioning human instead of a caffeinated zombie, you NEED this supplement.

It’s called GTB, and it’s about to revolutionize your progress.

What does GTB do for you?

If drinking apple cider vinegar every morning actually “melted fat,” we’d all have six packs by now.

If 5-minute ab workouts truly gave you a shredded core, dad bods wouldn’t exist.

And if a magic pill could burn fat while you sleep… well, let’s just say the supplement industry wouldn’t be worth billions.

The truth? The fitness world is full of bad advice that sounds good. And for some reason, we keep falling for it.

Getting in the best shape of your life is incredibly simple.

Even if you’ve got average genetics.

Even if your schedule is packed with responsibilities.

Even if you’ve gained weight since college.

Even if the things that worked for you before no longer move the needle.

Well, we did it.

Yesterday morning, we stood in the entryway of our house, said a teary-eyed prayer of gratitude, and then rolled out.

About four hours later, we pulled into our spot for the next few days.

Moving from a 2,700-square-foot house into a 27-linear-foot Airstream has been eye-opening.

Over the last month, everything we’ve accumulated in 23 years of marriage has been put to this test:

Do we want or need this?

A guy I’d just met told me to my face that I was weak, and that if I didn’t get stronger, Blakley was going to leave me.

His name, Mark Rippetoe of “Starting Strength” fame.

The year was 2013. I’d been doing CrossFit consistently for 4 years, but apparently I was still weak.

It turns out, he was right.

It’s Monday morning after the Super Bowl, and you’re already overwhelmed.

Work projects are looming, it’s time to restock on groceries, and you can’t even wrap your brain around your kid-shuttling duties for the week yet.

You have Zero Extra Time.

Blakley and I are “off-track” with our fitness right now.

On Wednesday, we planned to work out after our weekly call with Coach Haley and recording the podcast, but it didn’t happen.

We said we’d do it Thursday morning.

Your front door is 36” wide. Your kitchen counters stand at three feet, with cabinets jutting out exactly 12” from the wall. I haven’t been to your house with a measuring tape—I just know the standards of home construction.

13 days until we’re homeless.

If you missed it, we’re giving up the house we’ve rented for the last four years to live, work, and travel full-time in our Airstream.

Going from 2,700 square feet to 27 linear feet of living space means hard cuts and moving our must-keep and can’t-get-rid-of items into storage.
