On Saturday June 25th War Horse will be celebrating our one year anniversary. And it would mean the absolute world to us if we could party with the people who made this first year incredible, our family and friends. What better way to do that than to Eat BBQ, drink, and lift some weights. The […]
A major mistake people make when trying to lose weight is that they fail to eat an adequate amount of protein. Each of the macronutrients play an important roll when it comes to adopting a healthy diet. But when it comes to body composition protein is hands down the single most important of the three. […]
Brian is a perfect example of why we opened WHBC. He has gone to incredible lengths to get to this point and we couldn’t be more proud (trust me, I saw his first prowler push). There is nothing more inspiring than to watch an individual take control of their life. That’s what we’re about! Congrats […]

Each time I give the presentation on Strength Training, and Planning it comes out a little different. In my opinion, it’s better each time. It’s better in part because […]
The reality is that most people who are new to lifting weights and exercise in general should try to find a middle ground between over-doing it and under-doing it: their personal Goldilocks frequency. We’ve found that for most adults between 20 and 55, somewhere between 3 and 4 hard workouts a week is about all […]
Nicole is an all around bad ass. Since meeting Nicole I’ve watched her go from having squats that resembled this (well maybe not that terrible!) to now someone who I look forward to watching get under the bar. Nicole has certainly earned the barbell. When not pulling sumo or crushing front squats, Nicole is always the first person […]
