The Kraken Files: January 2019—Let’s Just Cut the Shit and Lift
In this month's The Kraken Files, Steph addresses a topic that bugs a lot of people, and drives others this month.
Give it a read and see where you stand.
This month’s column actually came to me after talking with a friend, and soon after that, reading...
Let’s Just Cut the Shit and Lift
This month Steph has some excellent advice and explanations on when to skip training.
It’s a topic not touched on a lot, and she does an awesome job giving you some advice to be heeded.
This month I thought I would delve a bit into the issue of deciding when NOT to train, whether it be due...
The Kraken Files: December 2018: To Train or Not to Train
So.
Some of you may have been watching as I prepped with a 4-5 month mild cut, 6 month bulk, then a 4-5 month cut into my first physique show.
In fact, it was my first foray into aesthetic competition EVER, as for years I just lifted, then spent 5 years being a fluffy moose of a...
The Kraken Files: Doing an Aesthetic Show
Note: Cutting is a bodybuilding term for dieting down to ridiculously low bodyfat levels.
This is part two of an as-yet-undetermined-length series on everything that had to do with my first physique show, which I did June 9th. I covered general cutting/diet for the show last month, and this month I am going to address the...
The Kraken Files: August 2018
This month I have decided to diverge a bit from the usual training and/or diet focused columns I tend to write, and instead write something a bit more philosophical, more a discussion piece on rectifying my feminism with engaging in aesthetic-focused lifting which will result in me wearing a dreaded sparkle bikini, on a stage,...
The Kraken Files May 2018
I am pretty sure I have complained about this “lifting legend” at some point in the past (since I have complained about every subject under the sun at some time in my surly existence), but I decided now was the time to pause, take a deep breath, and get in a nice full rant on……

The Kraken Files: April 2018: YOU CANNOT BUILD GREAT GLUTES WITH SQUATS ALONE.
When people ask me about lifting weights, bodybuilding, and powerlifting, they seem pretty ok with the idea that I lift…..but invariably, without fail, a certain percentage of people who stop me on the street to ask if I’m a “bodybuilder” (or a female wrestler, idk man) will ask me this:
But……why do you want to be...
The Kraken Files March 2018: Why Do You Want to Be So Big?
I get a lot of messages online asking me about gaining muscle mass, or rather, issues people are having with “bulking” and gaining QUALITY mass.
I will ask a few questions, and pretty quickly I realize that all they are doing is dumping into their gullets MORE of the same crap food they have already been...
The Kraken Files: Are You a Bulking Asshole?
I get this question all of the time when doing nutrition consultations.
It goes something like this, I'll prepare a meal plan for someone to follow and during the review, the client will look in horror and see that there is fruit in the diet.
The usually say something like this: "I can eat fruit? I thought...
Fruit is bad for you?

Eating to Lose Fat and Gain Muscle
Carb cycling is nothing new to bodybuilders but is not yet very common with nutritionists.
They seem to be behind the times when it comes to getting results. It appears that most of them prescribe a diet based on your weight and not much else. They use a cookie-cutter approach to weight loss and don't seem...

Fat is not your enemy!
This is the third in a three-part series on basic nutrition.
In this article we will discuss fat. Fat is an essential part of your diet but was made out to be evil and avoided at all costs by the mainstream media a few years ago. Thankfully this has passed.
I have said...
Dietary Fat Basics
The three basic food categories are carbohydrate, fat and protein.
In the Protein for Dummies guide we will cover protein.
What is protein?
Protein is what our body uses to build lean tissue, or muscle.
Here are a few things that we know about protein:
