  • A time of great revival

    It was the best of times…it was the worst of times… Channeling Dickens here I guess, but that is how I am thinking about the matter. I’m going to focus on the best of things. And that is that people are taking charge of their own health. Is that you? Or are you still struggling?…

  • Building lasting health

    A couple weekends ago we had some people from the church over. Two of the dudes were saying basically the same thing: “I did Insanity for about a month and then stopped because my joints hurt.” In case you don’t know, Insanity is one of the follow-along fitness programs that in my mind is far…

  • Recent updates from the Qualler home gym

    Wanted to share a few YouTubes and other things from the past month or so. First of all, I’ve been reading about reconnecting to nature and practicing Earthing more frequently. If you’re into unsexy basics, check out earthing. More to come on that. Then, here are some videos I’ve recorded recently. A bit about public…

  • Current training, August 2022

    The summer is winding down. August has been busy with house painting…up on a ladder, listening to YouTube’s and podcasts and doing my thing. This work, coupled with other house work has slowed down my training but I have been focusing on the following: Deadlifts (2-4 days per week, 2-3 sets of 5) Snatches (2…

  • Mental programming with George F. Jowett

    “You can do it. Every day in a minor way you are doing so. From now on do it in a Big way. Forget the past. You cannot remake it or undo it. Get down to brass tacks and be the sculptor of your own existence. Make your body the Goliath of your mind.” This…

  • Current training and effects/other stuff

    It’s Friday night. Time to unwind. Started caulking the front of the house. I have two peaks, one by the garage and the other on the other side. Tall peaks. Plus cedar siding. When I thought about the cost to pay for the house to be painted, I thought, shit, I could take the family…

  • The walking secret

    I can’t pinpoint when it happened. I’ve always liked walks. But then I guess stuff got in the way. Somehow I went from enough walking and general activity to not anywhere close to enough. Desk jockeying, office work, or whatever you want to call it, is the big contributor. But I’d say there is a…

  • Strong hands for better yard work

    Developing strong hands (and a strong stomach) will help you in untold ways. Having abundant strength in these areas is super-practical and you’ll feel it with every shovel load, wheelbarrow haul, and every time you pick on one of your kids (or your wife). In this video, I’m talking about the kettlebell clean, a favorite…

  • Build health by making this salad a daily staple

    I’ve gotten a couple comments on various YouTubes about eating. Now, I’m not a diet guy. I hate the word. You can’t go on a diet. You’re on a diet–always. So, no big fan of any of that nonsense. What I am a fan of is simple things that you can do for health that…

  • A basement strength workout that will give you a strong hands and back – plus speed-strength

    Occasionally I get asked about my workouts. Readers of my ebook know I have several template workouts in there, but the goal is to move beyond templates and experiment with things that work best for your body type. As you change, as work/life demands creep up, after a night of partying, or after a sickness…
