I’m a big fan of the idea of getting better everyday. When it comes to training, this is easy to track. I try to match or beat whatever I did last time. An extra rep with the same weight, a heavier weight than before, an extra round of conditioning work—these small...

We’re a culture obsessed with cooties right now. We’re wearing masks to avoid other people’s cooties. We’re staying home to prevent ourselves from unknowingly spreading our own cooties. We’re hoarding hand sanitizer so we can kill the cooties we pick up in the few...

Letter to the editor: Howdy Chris, I was hoping you could shed some light on a subject I feel left in the dark on, but there’s a big IF involved, and that IF is Intermittent Fasting. It seems to be all the rage online, and I’m curious—does it work? Should I take a...
