The Weight Loss Conundrum
Confidence is the Key Mark Brown February 22, 2022 I weighed myself on my scale at home Monday morning on February 21 after I showered and dried off. It said 282.2 pounds. This isn’t anything new.

1 Rep Max Recordings
I put the 4 recordings I did of my 1 rep max attempts together using iMovie and posted them up on my Youtube channel. No fancy editing, but I did want to put the videos out in the most efficient way I could. The squats were done on November 30th and the bench press was …
Fall 2021 Program Wrap Up
Mark Brown December 7, 2021 This fall’s lifting program was fascinating. I started out working kind in the way that I finished the summer program and ended very differently.

Changing The Forma: Part 1
Mark Brown November 3, 2021 This summer I changed the timeline of my lifting program and I felt it had a significant effect on my lifting. That change was simply removing lifting from my weekends. It was a decision I had been thinking about for a few months. To some that might not sound like …
Goal Setting, Part 2
The Importance of Cost Analysis Mark Brown October 17, 2021 We are accustomed to lying to ourselves, for better or for worse, and others by saying something without ultimately meaning it. “Doing whatever it takes” is a phrase much easier said than meant.
