With a name like Rocco you just know I needed to be tough or I would've gotten my ass kicked everyday. Oh that's right...I did for the first 10 years I walked this earth. I stuttered for most of my youth and had a very hard time defending myself with words. This created frustration that boiled over into fights on the playground. Many of them I lost until I realized I needed to learn to defend myself. My cousin owned a gym in Ridgefield, New Jersey that offered boxing lessons. I found myself walking up this half mile long hill everyday to learn the skills of a pugilist. A side effect of this uphill journey was crazy calf growth. (check out my calves) In no time I became very skilled and began training in Tae Kwon Do. That changed everything and created a mindset that has kept me and my body healthy for over thirty years. I have been involved with fitness & exercise in one way or another since I was 10 years old. I have owned gyms, Personal Training Studios, Fitness Websites (I was the first personal trainer in the country to have a website: hitfitness.com. Now I enjoy writing my syndicated fitness column, writing articles for various magazines including Muscle & Fitness, and creating fitness content for the web, radio and TV.
I love controversy, embrace confrontation, and I want to help you change your life. You can ask me about anything and I'll respond with my usual entertaining style with no holds barred honesty that is filled with attitude. I hope that once you start listening you're hooked. It doesn't matter if you hate me or love me, I want to engage you. Sometimes you just have to take sides.
Great job man. I swear i don't know what the biggest joke is, these products or the people who fall for them and spend their money only to find out they don't work. What ever happened to just good old fashion determination and hard work?

Gotta say Rocco, I love some of the stuff on your blog... it's so funny and true. Seems like there is a new fitness device or system or diet... littering the industry everyday. In the end, it's the people that stick with tried and true strategies that have the most sucess across a lifetime. Thanks for being willing to call it like it is.
