Instant Pot Shredded Beef
Here’s an easy dinner I threw together this evening with a beef tenderloin and an Instant Pot. It was the ‘chain’ section off a larger tenderloin I previously cut into filets (just like this). Feel free to sub a different type of meat in place of beef. I enjoyed the shredded beef over a bed…

The Non-Workout Workout
I’ve written about this before, but I need to mention it again. This entry overlaps with my post on ten-minute workouts, but this covers a more specific application. I’m going to call it the ‘Non-Workout, Workout‘. At least until I think of a better name. Essentially, it’s just reframing training. You’re still putting in work,…

Heavy Lifts Playlist
This is my go-to mix at the moment. It replaces a lifting playlist I shared previously that was created under my wife’s Spotify account. Figured I should create something under my own name. Some overlap with the original, but with a little more rock in this latest iteration. It’s not terribly long. Just over an…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Shake
Whenever I can, I obtain my protein through real, unprocessed food sources (usually beef or chicken). Occasionally, however, I’ll supplement with a protein shake. And nine times out ten (probably more), I’ll choose to make this delicious milkshake-like impostor. This isn’t a light shake. It’s not a great option if calories are a concern. But…

Lemon Pepper Wings
Some dishes make their way into our life more frequently than others. For me, this is one such dish. I think pound for pound, this might be one of my favourite meals based on how high it scores on the following: Cost: for quality animal protein, chicken wings offer great value. Time: they can be…

Minimum Effective Dose: Ten Minute Workouts
Sometimes you need (or just want) a ten minute workout. I think the guys over at Mind Pump (funny fitness podcast) would call these ‘trigger sessions’. Sort of micro workouts intended to offer a quick hit of stimulation, but nothing too intensive. Not sure if my workouts would be considered the same thing, but I…

Spicy Drive-In Burgers
For as long as I can recall, my dad has been grilling up spicy, mouth watering hamburgers during the summer months. Just one of his many food specialties, perfected over the years. These burgers are now a staple in our household, with my wife and I regularly grilling them up. Since I’ve been asked about…

2020 Vision
It’s been a while since I’ve written. I don’t exactly know why I stopped, but here I am, once again posting. Something triggered me to write today. I’m not going to dwell on what that trigger was, I’m just going to ride this motivation train, and see where I end up. See if I can…

The Garage Gym
Last year my wife and I decided to pull the trigger and buy a squat rack for our home. Prior to the purchase, we would frequent our local gym whenever we wanted to get under a barbell. Unfortunately, often times obtaining a rack would be difficult when the gym floor was busy. Moreover, we were…

Cold Showers
I love cold showers. I love the euphoric and invigorating feeling I achieve from a brief rush of cold water. Pound for pound, it’s one of the most efficient ways to lift my mood. It’s quick, cheap, and the results are immediate. If I’m feeling under the weather, it’s one of my first remedies. I’ve…
