  • Eggs for High T | Piriformis Release | Glutes [ASK ERIC]

    Eggs for High T | Piriformis Release | Glutes [ASK ERIC]

    In today’s QnA video, I answer the following questions:

    I hate eggs but am trying your recommended T booster diet – is there a substitute?

    – Garry Mcdonell, Canada  [mm:ss]

    I do have a piriformis muscle issue. I was told the exercises you do for that depends on whether the muscle is shortened or lengthened.

    Do you have any help?

    – Joanne Attwood, Canada  [mm:ss]

    I went 3 weeks not missing a day but week 4 fell on the holidays and so I’ve slacked off a bit.

    But up to this point I have seen tremendous improvement in my hips.

    Since I’ve missed a week do you recommend starting from week 1 again or just pick up where I left off?

    – Aaron Cropper, US [mm:ss]

    What exercises have you found to best strengthen and add flexibility to the gluteal muscles?

    I am a physician and I appreciate your explanation based on muscle physiology.

    – Ronald Wong, US [mm:ss]

    When I sit, I feel real tight in the hip flexor / aDductor area.

    I can stand to take the pressure off, but I was curious if you have input on how to stretch/strengthen this specific area as it gets tight almost immediately when I sit.

    If there is an area of your HFS program I should focus on to help with this, please point me in the right direction.

  • Why Being Different is Good

    About 2 weeks ago a buddy of mine talked to me asking if I wanted to play hockey in a ‘beer’ league once a week because his team needed a couple of players.

    For those of you who weren’t born with a hockey stick in his hand like we are in Canada, a ‘beer’ league is simply an adult hockey league, where generally the focus is more on drinking beer after the game than playing hockey. And that beer is usually of the Molson or Labatt varieties.

    I thought about it for about 2 seconds and decided to get back on the ice and see how I was. It would be a good time, I haven’t played in 2 years and there were a bunch of guys I knew from high school on the team.

    Well our last game was last week and here’s what happened.

    I walked into the dressing room and started getting ready and 2 of my buddies from high school said something to the effect of, “Wong, you’re fucking ripped, are you on the Bruce Lee diet or something?”
