Strength Training Umbrellas: Fitness

In Planning and Programming, Strength Training  •  by Melissa, October 1, 2019  •  
Well friends and lifters, you have made it to this, the last in my series, of strength training umbrellas. And I saved the hardest to define for last: fitness. I use the term umbrellas to define broad categories, or general goals, that strength trainers tend...

What I Eat in a Day

In Nutrition and Eats  •  by Melissa, August 20, 2019  •  
I used to love picking up a fitness magazine and reading what the featured celebrity ate in a day. Mostly because I would be thinking to myself, who can survive on that? (Answer, just the celebrities who are trying to maintain Hollywood’s impossible beauty ideal.)...

In Strength Training  •  by Melissa, August 13, 2019  •  
Welcome, friends and lifters, to part two in my series on Strength Training Umbrellas. I use the term umbrellas to define broad categories, or general goals, that strength trainers tend to fall under. These umbrellas can help you make decisions about both overload and modality.
