Unlocking Your Inner Strength is about finding your inner and outer strengths. Learn how you can step into your greatness. This show blends Mind Mapping, philosophy and a lifetime of being a strength coach and bodybuilder.
15 years ago, I began Newell Strength. It was and is my passion. It is also my profession, that of being a Coach. Heading into this year, I developed a strategy, along with Devon, to get it to where I know it can be. I knew that ultimately, it all falls on me, I take responsibility and ownership. In today’s episode, I share with you why now, my rol…
I first began experimenting with cheat days and re-feeds way back in the year 2002. There was hardly any resources back then regarding this topic. After a college department head had no answers for me, I realized that I was on my own and that I'd have to figure out for myself how the human body really worked when it came to trying to pack on muscle…
When I first began training, way back in high school, I quickly realized that what I was doing in the gym and with my nutrition was much different than what the norm was. Maybe it’s because I was willing to do things outside the box, but I soon found out that I was on the correct path and using something I call ‘reality math’ has always allowed me …

3 years ago, I dove into longer form fasting, after doing a 16-20 hour fast for the prior 5 years. But just like 2019, I knew there was something more to be learned and explored, which is the feeling I’ve been hearing God whisper into my ear quite frequently. That’s part of the inspiration that some people have heard me talk about when I talk about…

Have you ever had one of those moments in life when your mind expands on the spot. And you’re conscious of it? If you’re aware of your thoughts, and this happens to you, you remember it forever.

When you were younger, you were probably able to get away with a lot more at the table and your eating habits and not pay a price for it. Although, that doesn’t mean you were necessarily healthy.

Yes, you read that correctly. If you want to know why and …

Ever since I can remember, I knew that a big part of helping people transform their lives was a combination of things, one of which was teaching them so they understood on some level why they were doing what they were doing.

Last week, one of my brothers, Presh, was asking if I thought there was censorship around fasting just like how they censor so many other things these days.

Before you know it, the warm weather will be here. Which means that a lot of people will be thinking about their eating a bit more. It’s natural in the winter to ease up and eat more ‘rich’ foods.
