About Me

I'm a level I "sports performance certified" USAW coach, and I train, and work as an assistant coach at Asheville Strength and Conditioning, a great little gym here in Asheville, N.C.

I work with clients who want to get strong and fit, and specialize in helping older, detrained individuals reclaim their fitness and youthful athleticism.

Also, it should be said that I used to train with, and still love many of the folks down at CrossFit Asheville. A lot of the older portions of this blog deals with CrossFit and reflects my earlier fascination with CrossFit's "fitness as sport" model of training. I've learned a lot from CrossFit since I first discovered it, back in late 2008, even though my own training is now more focused on developing pure strength and capacity in the basic strength lifts.

Weight Loss

An Arsenal of Tools and Techniques

To fight fat you need the right weapons. I have created this series of posts on my arsenal: the tools and techniques that have helped me lose fat and keep it at bay.

	The first tool you will need is a scale for your body. I have a Tanita Body Fat Percentage Scale, which has proven itself to be a trusty and essential aid in my weight loss.
	I cannot recommend enough that those who want to lose weight should be Keeping a Food Journal. It is probably the single most effective way to lose weight and keep it off.
	Whatever diet plan you follow, if you will only begin Weighing and Measuring your Food, your efforts at weight loss will be far more successful.
	You can write it all down, you can weigh it and measure it, but how do you know what’s in it? Answer: you look up the Nutritional Information, a key skill for all successful dieters.
