I’m on vacation until January, which means I’m sleeping in, working out in the Basement of Champions, watching the odd movie, reading, and doing the odd chore around the house. What I’m not doing is training clients for 10-12 hours a day, waking up at 4:45am, or flying out to teach a course on the weekends, which is a nice change of pace.

This past year has been a busy one to say the least. Building a moving into a new house was obviously one of the biggest and best things to happen, but also putting out both Advanced Core Training and High Tensile Strength products this year, plus filming 2 others to be released early 2016 was an awesome time too.

Tony Gentilcore and I re-vamped our bro-fest workshops to bring the Complete Shoulder and Hip, teaching it in 4 different locations this year and expecting to teach it in at least 4 more in the first half of next year.

Toronto, Ontario Canada: March 19-20

Location: The Wreckroom is 41 Ardelt Place, Kitchener ON, N2C 2C8 (about an hour drive from downtown Toronto)

Then there was training the clients, both in person and online. I trained a total of 1399 sessions in the year, which means I was averaging around 115 a month. Nothing ground breaking or life altering, but still pretty respectable considering I work 3.5 days a week (12 hour days Monday thru Wednesday, and a half day on Friday) and had so many weekends out of town that involved travel on a lot of work days.

I had a pretty packed travel schedule this year:

• Saskatoon
• New York (twice)
• Las Vegas (twice)
• Kansas City
• Florida for Tony’s wedding
• Toronto
• St. Louis
• Chicago
• Los Angeles
• Portland
• Probably one or two more but I can’t remember

This website has managed to do pretty well. In 2015 I amassed almost 800,000 page views, which is by no means internet-destroying, but decent enough for this guy and a one-man web page. With the goal being to put up more quality content in 2016, maybe this year I’ll manage to crack 1,000,000. I know some people that do that kind of volume in a month, so it’s nothing likely to make servers melt or anything like that.

I’m thinking stirring topics like “How to get your New Year’s Body,” “10 People at the Gym who are THE WORST,” and discussions on how to tighten and tone your problem areas you didn’t know you had.

KIDDING!!

I’ll also continue my quest to get jacked and beefy on a steady diet of cookies and ice cream. I was looking a little soft at the start of the year, so I dropped 14 pounds, will likely drop another 5 or 6 over winter, and then another 10 in the following summer to get back into fighting shape. I’m not fighting anything, except gravity, time, fan boys, Steve Harvey’s optometrist, and my own desire to look hawt into my late 30s.

I’m currently up to 5 abs.

2015 has been a pretty decent year over all. I can’t complain. 2016 looks like it will be pretty cool as well, and hopefully it’s looking pretty spectacular for you as well. Enjoy the rest of December, celebrate what you prefer, and raise a celebratory toast of what ever you’re drinking to continuing to be awesome for reading my stuff.
