The Rat And The Mars Bar

There's some bizarre experiments carried out in the name of research. Being a bit of a nutritional geek, I often receive updates from published articled and recently one caught my eye. Not because of the ground breaking information it delivered ( pretty much ministry of the fcuking obvious if you ask me!) But because of the side story that accompanied it. A researcher removed part of a rats brain (a section of the hypothalamus) that controlled the desire to consume food and fluids. As expected, the rats didn't bother eating or drinking and died of starvation and dehydration. ( No

The Cortisol Connundrum

Our body is a walking pharmaceutical laboratory. All manner of hormones are being produced, broken down and recycled, on pretty much a second-by-second basis! If you're a geek like me and you've ever studied human biochemistry, you'll be familiar with many different hormones and their interactions within the body. There's the typical ones everyone has heard of, such as insulin, testosterone, estrogen and adrenaline. You may of even heard of HCG, progesterone epinephrine too. But I want to focus on cortisol, and how it may be stopping you from getting the body you want. You see, there's 2 reasons why

Every year it seems that Xmas starts earlier and earlier. I was in a well known supermarket a couple of weeks ago and they had already started stocking Xmas-themed foods and products. The beginning of October! As far as im concerned Xmas doesn't start until that glitter covered train appears on the TV and I hear "Holidays Are Coming..." You know I'm right! Now, I know you guys are busy, lots of hours spent in the office doing something 'important'. Well, I assume it must be as you choose to do that over going home to spend time with your

So apparently it's around that time of the year when many wealthy families from the warmer climates of the middle east flock to London, bringing with them some of the most expensive and highly sought after cars in the world. The areas around Knightsbridge are flooded with Bugattis, Ferraris, Lambourginis and the like. Cars that would cost more than some people earn in a lifetime. When you come from a wealthy oil-rich country, dropping a few £1000k on a car is probably not as big a deal as it would be to some people. After all, wealth and expenditure is

Another Monday, another Day 1 for men around the world that want to transform into a better version of themselves. This is the 41st 'Day 1' of the year! Take a good look in the mirror.

The Titanic Battle of 2 Laps

There was a time in my past when protecting my own personal energy, confidence and to some extent health was not the priority it is now. I'm going to tell you a story about when me and a friend of mine found ourselves in a local strip club, ready to party! Back then, I would've felt like a serious 'playa' 'Big Time Charlie' & that all my actions made me great, when the reality is, I was the exact opposite. On this particular occasion, both me and a friend have a booth, enjoying the company of a couple of the

Bed-Post Notch Bull$hit

On Saturday I was travelling home and instead of my usual thing of listening to an audio book, I instead hit shuffle on my music. Now, I have a rather varied, eclectic taste in music, from classical to acoustic folk, to thrash metal from deep, tech house and RnB. So it was no surprise when Justin Timberlake followed a classical piece from Ludo Einaudi that was preceded by acoustic folk from Nick Harper. The thing is, the JT track was from his 1st album, Justified and it evoked so many memories, as music has a tendency to do. Back in 2002-2003 when that album came out, I was fresh

Imagine doing something you enjoy, every day. And one of the 'side effects' was a 6-pack! And i don't mean one of these fitness junkies that love to hammer out 1000 crunches every morning like some modern day Patrick Bateman!! No, I mean something you actually enjoyed, something fun! Something you wouldn't get bored of at the drop of a hat! Well that's exactly what a friend of mine did. Now before you start cancelling gym memberships and throwing away your training gear, let's get something clear, he was still doing something active. He still got in his 'daily sweat'. But here's the lesson comrade, straight

The Path Of The Selfish Man

Being Selfish. It's often frowned upon as a bad thing, A negative personality trait that you were chastised about as a child. It's also associated with feelings of guilt, especially some of the guys i speak to. When they're choosing to spend time working, instead of at home. Spending money to mask the pain and insecurities they have. All whilst pretending that everything is "Fine", still acting like the 'jolly, happy go-lucky guy', to go with the jolly, 'cuddly' body they're privately ashamed of. Guys that consider coming into Alpha Man Elite often have some feelings of guilt for wanting to take care of themselves and taking back control of their lives.

Beware Of ‘The Bonk’

Are you familiar with 'The Bonk'? Yes, your first thought may be that I've been hacked and this email will be littered with unsolicited dodgy porn (it isn't, so you can stop scrolling for it!) No, The Bonk is that feeling you get during the afternoon when it feels like your gears are grinding to a halt and your energy levels are almost non-existent. You're running on fumes. You get agitated. You get snappy with people. Motivation to do anything that requires even the slightest bit of concentration feels like a form of torture & even if i offered to train you personally 1-on-1 for free for an hour, you'd probably tell me
