Welcome back to my wold!If this title did not get your attention, nothing will. So let’s dive into the materiel and find out if could there really be a point where it makes more sense to eat sugar than not? For years we have been told to keep our carbs either low or at the […]
Welcome back and happy summer!I have discussed the topic of trainees getting no results ever in most gyms over and over, so I ll save the ranting part for once and shall deliver some actual substance instead. So class, listen up here is today’s topic: Staying too long on a cutting or bulking diet will […]
Since it it is that time of the year, one of the questions I get a lot these days is a cry for help along the lines ” Hey Maik, I am having a pool party tomorrow/in three hours/next week and I need to look great.” There I wrote this outline which should be helpful […]
Today’s topic is rather dear to me: how science got eradicated from the fitness world (and to an extent in America as such, thanks Tea party and religious right!)

Today’s newsletter will save you thousands of dollars and countless hours of frustration, so feel free to thank me later. It deals with the exciting topic of injury prevention. Attention, shameless plug coming up: it is also a chapter out of my new book. It is a fact: most people are physically not […]
I actually struggled a bit with the decision to take on today’s topic as it is controversial to say the least. But I feel that some proper information should be out there, in the end people will do what they want but at least I did my part in terms of educating those who are […]
