August 14, 2016 by Chad Rodgers Leave a Comment

March 18, 2016 by Chad Rodgers Leave a Comment

One of the biggest issues I like to fix right away with my in-person, and our online clients is optimizing the first meal of the day. The reason being is that people seem to always have it screwed up. Your first meal, no matter when, is breakfast (breaking the fast).  It sets the day in […]

11 Ways to Goblet Squat

December 16, 2015 by Chad Rodgers 8 Comments

November 18, 2015 by Chad Rodgers 1 Comment

  I’ve got a bone to pick. A few actually..but as a relatively newish retired baseball player, I’ve grown to see my past, the current state of the game, and the future of the sport in a different light. When playing, I had blinders on. I was totally wrapped up and obsessed in accomplishment and […]
