Created by my friend, Andre Miller, The Roots Model, among other things, is a great way to describe and train the web of human movement. The model is like a blueprint for all things human movement.

I’m training Tyler Ramirez and Ethan Huerta. Tyler is a college wrestler I’ve been training since he was a freshman in high school. Ethan is a high school wrestler (junior) who has been training with me since he was a freshman.

Currently, there is a virus that has spread across the globe. Seems as if healthier individuals are not taking as much heat as most. That seems to be the norm with most health issues in the world. The better a person takes care of themselves, the less chance there is for them to fall victim to illness. Who would have thought? It feels weird having to say that.

If you know me well, you know that most days, I don't eat my first meal until well after 12pm. Especially, if I went hard the night before.

I don't follow any nonsensical programming or stick to a certain time period...I eat when I'm, HONESTLY, hungry. Sometimes, I push those limits...just because. I've been known to eat my first meal as late as 4 or 5pm. This is really no different than pushing a little further into a long run or bike ride. Extending a training session just to see how far you can push yourself.

I was fasting intermittently long before the trendy name and numerous protocols came about. I've never been on any type of I.F. "program" and never really gave it any thought, I just don't eat unless I am hungry. Crazy concept, I know. Most people stuff their faces long before it's time to refuel. When the fuel tank is full and you keep fueling, bad things come about.
