I don’t want to look like either. I want to become a super athlete.

In Episode #34 of The Become a Beast Podcast, I discuss how I became a super athlete, how I am attacking this approach again and why I suggest this over a sport specific approach.

n26203142_31382454_5732494Back in 2008, I took on the challenge of becoming a super athlete full steam ahead. I ate (almost) perfect for 6 months. I worked out at least everyday but Sunday and often 2-3 workouts each day. I was extremely focused in my attack and I achieved the results you see to the left.

I didn’t become some malnourished marathon runner and I didn’t become a 300 lb hee-man. However, I was able to run a half decent marathon, continue lifting significant weight, and was capable of competing and placing in athletic events that served a well-rounded athlete (pic to the left: 3rd place San Diego Mud Run).

You don’t have to give up the benefits of one fitness approach for another if you are willing to put in a lot of time and energy to building a balanced fitness attack.

Hope you enjoy the podcast and as always…

…Have a good one Beast Squad!

The first responsibility is self-explanatory, but the second is a far greater interest to me.

In Episode 33 of The Become a Beast Podcast, I share my entry into the wild world of parenting, how it has effected my fitness and health, and lastly, how you can either become and maintain a healthier and more fit body as an example for your kids.
