In case you haven’t noticed, T-Muscle released their highly anticipated Anaconda™ Protocol (do not fear, I repented to the internet gods for linking to them) at the end of November. If you’re familiar with this whole project, you know it’s been in the works for quite some time now. If you know nothing of what I’m writing about today, take a look at my I, Bodybuilder rebuttal from August to better understand today’s composition. Matt Perryman already shared his thoughts – check it out. [Read more...]
A No-BS Approach to Looking Great Naked
November 19, 2009 By 37 Comments
Last month was the one-year mark for JCDFitness. Time really seems to fly by doesn’t it?
Over the last year I have become somewhat acquainted with a few in the fitness field who have been a big influence on my philosophy. Thanks to this website I have been able to connect with them on a more personal level than if I’d have just remained another lurker on their forums and/or website.
On that note I want to say thanks to all my readers, to those who’ve supported me and encouraged me to keep writing. It means the world to me to know that you think enough of my rambling that you come back daily, participate in article comments and email me with your ideas about future topics and suggestions. Thanks to all of you who copy/paste my links on the most random forums. Thanks for the Stumble’s, Tweets, Facebook updates and all the other social network evangelism I’m still behind on.
In lieu of my appreciation, I sat down about a month ago to write an article called My Philosophy. I thought the title sucked (and it did) but I didn’t care, I just kept writing. As usual, I can get pretty wordy, so 500 words turned into 1500 words; 1500 turned into 3500 words. Then I began approaching 5000 words just before I stopped. I took a break and thought to myself “no one in their right mind is going to read a 5000 word article of mine.”
I put it away for 2 weeks and practically forgot about it. However, one Sunday when I was thinking of an article topic, I pulled it out again and reviewed the content I forged out that early Thursday morning. Then I got the idea that I would just write a small guide that gives an overview of my approach to training, diet and looking great naked. So, I spent another day or two writing until I had about 9000 words and called it a day.
Without boring you any further, I present you with A No-BS Approach to Looking Great Naked. It’s completely free; I hope you enjoy it and please let me know what you think.
The cover art was done by Buddy of CoversCorp and the picture of me on the cover was taken by Emily C. McArthur.

The Former Fat Boy Syndrome
October 19, 2009 By 53 Comments
I must admit I am a FFB (Former Fat Boy). I am willing to bet many of the guys reading this were FFB’s. As a FFB I know we tend to think our metabolisms are subpar or we can’t build muscle efficiently due to our endomorphic proportions. This is what’s known as the FFBS (former fat boy syndrome). I say this is bullhonkey (nice attempt at swearing I know). The sad truth is being a former fat boy may even be worse on the psyche than starting out as a skinny bastard (as Joe DeFranco would say). My goal today is to reach out to all the FFB’s and offer some encouragement, hope and a swift kick in the ass. [Read more...]
