Posted by Bryan Hamann on Tuesday, July 17, 2012, In : Training concepts and techniques

In my previous post I introduced you to the first workout mistake many of us make – not training with enough intensity, or not pushing ourselves as hard as we really can.

I hope you took a critical look at your workouts, got brutally honest with yourself and admitted that maybe you could push yourself just a little harder.

If you can honestly say you were already at your limit, working as hard as you possibly can, I applaud you. Congratulations.

Can you drink and still be in good shape?

Posted by Bryan Hamann on Tuesday, July 3, 2012, In : Healthy living

With my time in Seoul coming to an end, I know there are going to be lots of farewell parties and get-togethers, and with all that comes drinking, lots of it. This always puts me in a bit of a quandry, I want to have a good time, but at the same time I want to remain committed to my training program and physique goals.

A few years ago my former room mate and I decided to swear off alcohol for a month, not allowing a single drop to pass through our lips. We dubbed this month of sobriety the “…
