Does Your Content Get Likes or Engage Users?

No one cares how many likes your content gets. Or at least they shouldn’t anyway. Let me rephrase that. Social shares are important, but they shouldn’t create as much clout as we let them. Somehow, we’ve transitioned into a period where the number of social likes and shares is correlated directly with the importance and [...]

The Day I Thought I Wanted to Be Donald Trump

When I was a kid, I went through a bunch of different fads. Pokemon was one. Pogs were another. Hell, I even dyed my hair and dressed up like Eminem for longer than I’d like to admit. Perhaps on the more bizarre side of the spectrum, I was quite obsessed with Donald Trump and The [...]

Does the World Need Another Post on Deadlifts?

I received this e-mail the other day: I’m having a bit of an identity crisis… I started domain.com because I love fitness and nutrition and equally love writing. However, the fitness industry is pretty crowded and I can’t help but think I need something to separate me from the crowd. I get this question quite [...]

How I Almost Failed Graduate School Before It Started

One hot topic in the press right now is about our education system. With hundreds of thousands of students emerging from the academic system right now, there’s an incredibly high unemployment rate for those in the early twenties. Not exactly the place you want to be coming out of school. Now, I’m not really in [...]

Have Your Beer, Your Social Life, and Your Abs Too

Avoid any diet that discourages the use of hot fudge.  ~Don Kardong That picture above represents a typical dinner order I’ll place at a restaurant when we go out. Yes, that’s two meals. One guy, two meals – that’s an equation that makes sense. Listen, it didn’t always used to be that way. In fact, [...]

Hyperfocus: How to Actually Get Stuff Done

Sorry for posting this a few days late. I usually try to get a new blog post up on Tuesdays, but I was a bit busy getting down and dirty with Engineering the Alpha which I must say is the best thing to happen for guys since the ousting of double-popped collars and the release [...]

What’s Wrong With the Personal Training Industry (and What to Do to Fix It)

Side-note before we begin: To spark conversation, I’m going to give one random commenter a copy of Engineering the Alpha which is due out today. Go ahead and light up the comment section.    “To hell with this.” That was my reaction one day while at the gym at the end of a string of [...]

High-Five’s, So-So’s, and Hand Grenades

“Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.” – Zig Ziglar You may not know this about me if you haven’t directly met me in-person or somehow absorbed it through my writing – I’m a very positive person. You know – the never-has-a-bad-day, always-smiling, almost-annoying type that high-fives people when they [...]

Act Like a Kid and Get More Done

“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” ― Albert Einstein You may not have seen the story in the news, but a 17-yr old kid (pictured above) just sold his company to Yahoo’s Marissa Mayer for a reported [...]

10 Tips for Those Looking to Start Freelance Writing (and a great book to help)

Over the past few years, I’ve spent the majority of my time building my portfolio and freelance writing as many articles, blog posts, and exercise descriptions as possible. The bulk of my time is spent on the keyboard trying to thumb up new posts and articles. I’m no wordsmith, but I’ve come a long way. [...]

How Big Are You Living? Defining Super-Ordinary

When I switched from JDStrength.com to my own personal domain which I aptly named JeremeyDuVall.com in a binge of creativity, I made a choice to stray away from fitness content and focus more on lifestyle development pieces and other musings that interest me. After all, I write about fitness quite a bit. It’s nice to get [...]

How to Navigate the Grocery Store Like a Boss

Since Charlotte and I recently moved out to Boulder a few weeks ago, we’ve had to hit up a new grocery store. While it may sound like a trivial part of the move, it’s huge in my eyes. Few things can derail a good nutrition plan than switching grocery stores. You walk in and don’t [...]
