The ball has dropped, the confetti's been swept from the floor and nobody's wearing cool hats anymore. And if you're like most guys, you opened your eyes in 2010 to a bad hangover and a list of resolutions, most of which were probably announced enthusiastically over tequila shots. Relax. It's not like the "Resolution Police" are coming to get you. But that's no reason to blame it on the alc-alc-alc-alcohol and pretend it never happened. You WILL achieve your fitness goals this year. In fact, if you're reading this you've already started. That was easy, right? Moving on.MF.com (and the mag, of course) is your best resource for annihilating any fitness goals you may have created for yourself this year.[...]

I can't help but be taken aback by how forcefully so many people in this country are campaigning against health care reform. They're tactics are ugly - name-calling ("our President is a communist!") and rumor-mongering ("He'll kill the elderly!") chief among them. Obviously, everyone's allowed to have their own opinion in this country, but it's a fact, not an opinion, that big corporations currently control the majority of the U.S's health care programs, and lesser-developed countries than our own (at least industrially) have far more effective gov't-run health care programs (and somehow, they haven't become militant, socialist states.) This may or may not be in our best interests.We should stop worrying so much about everyone else, about buzzwords and scare[...]
Jeff Cavaliere has been a strength coach and physical therapist to elite baseball players (including many New York Mets). Check out this recent interview he did with me.How did you get interested in training? Long before I ever touched a weight I grew up a huge fan of pro wrestling and action movies. Needless to say, with guys like Arnold, Stallone, Ravishing Rick Rude, and The Hulkster, I found myself wondering what it would actually take to look like them. Of course, I didn't want to do any work to get the look...but I sure thought it would be cool to be like them. It wasn't until high school and my first introduction to competitive sports that weight training became[...]
That's what I said, but apparently, yes, there's a company out there that develops low-fat donuts without using artificial sweeteners. We just got a bunch of samples in from Holey Donuts, and they're pretty good. No, they're not as sinfully delicious as Krispy Kreme or DD, but if you are craving a donut, it's not a bad thing to have around. Some of the flavors are around 3 g fat with approximately 150 calories. Not a bad way to fix up your sweet tooth.Check them out here: http://holeydonuts.net/[...]
Joe Stankowski is a trainer in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He's been one of my closest advisers and best writers for the past five years. I remember having conversations with Joe years ago and hearing some of his "wild" ideas--stretching is a waste of time, stability training can be done without BOSU balls, the bench press isn't functional for football, etc.--which are now much more accepted (and gaining steam).I interviewed Joe recently to help you all get familiar with him. For more information, check out his blog, For more information, check out his blog, morningcupojoe.com, and his site, This Workout Doesn't Suck.Sean: How did you get interested in training?Joe: My history of lifting heavy stuff for fun goes back quite awhile.[...]
