First of all, how much protein do you want to get? I’ve heard arguments from the muscle blaster crowd that advocates one gram of protein for every pound of body weight. For me at 155 lbs. that’s 620 calories a day in protein. I rarely get that much and I’m not a vegetarian. When […]
My favorite form of training is known as High Frequency Training (HFT). High Frequency Training is an advanced form of training but can also be used effectively with beginners. The problem with most HFT methods is that they prescribe a level of intensity that is too high to maintain for long periods of time, and […]

The summer of 2007 was a crazy time for me. As I’ve mentioned earlier, I faced a sort of mild depression. But it was through this depression that I was motivated to start Shah Training, become a Marketing Consultant, and finish up my Full-length Script. All my accomplishments so far are all a cause of […]
I had stopped eating breakfast for quite some time. It was after I read The Warrior Diet by Ori Hofmekler. Ori had a pretty crazy idea about not eating throughout the day. The Warrior Diet apparently mimics the way hunters and gatherers used to eat in the old days. You know, the caveman days when […]
In my One-arm Dumbbell Exercises instructional video, I demonstrated four dumbbell exercises that you can do in the comfort in your own home to increase your strength endurance, burn fat, and build muscle mass. However, if your primary goal were to increase your maximal strength and power, you would have to use a slightly different […]

Todays diet was a little flimsy. I’m going to stop eating pasta during the weekdays. This is what my diet will look like, more or less. My goal is to keep eating this amount until school begins, where i’ll have to shift around my schedule. Hopefully not too many things change.
Meal One: Oatmeal & Fruit

When I was in high school, I loved to experiment. I still like to experiment, although my principles are more grounded than they were back then. I came across a website called Crossfit and was immediately mesmerized. Their idea of constantly challenging yourself with a new stimuli and doing crazy things by combining forms of […]
You don’t need to join a gym in order to meet your fitness goals. You can do it all right in the comfort and safety of your own home. Last week I was at my cousin’s house. Before I left New York, my cousin called me up to tell me that he wanted to workout […]
