Our writers
Four guys, one smoker, a lot of iron. Nobody here is a doctor, so every health and fitness claim links to its source.
Mike Hall
Founding editor · pit-master
Pit-master, lifter and hunter. Mike went carnivore, started cooking bigger and lifting heavier, and has been feeding friends off his smoker ever since.
Hank Steele
Training editor · garage-gym lifter
Two decades under a barbell, most of them in a cold garage. Hank writes the training plans: simple, heavy, and backed by the guidelines, not the hype.
Jack Thornton
Meat 101 editor · hunter & home butcher
Hunter and home butcher who breaks down his own deer every fall. Jack covers cuts, buying in bulk, game meat, offal, and rendering the good fat.
Cole Brennan
Research & budget editor
Father of three, spreadsheet enthusiast, and the guy who actually reads the methods section. Cole covers the research and how to eat meat without going broke.
