Modern lifestyle comes as a double sided coin with great medical advancements which treat severe diseases and save countless lives. The technological leaps made physical distance between people irrelevant through instant communications. However, the other side of the modern life is that these rapid progresses negatively effect our health.
Most of us lead busy lives with demanding schedules filled with jobs, school, family, friends and other commitments. The very little personal time that we do have is often replaced with psychological convenience of watching computer or television screens. Being constantly engaged, our bodies do not get opportunity to recover from daily stressors. The body begins to fall further behind both physically and psychologically within this never-ending cycle. Chasing life deadlines with little proper rest results in time saving strategies that come at a cost of personal health. These short-cuts create poor diets and lack of exercise, increasing the risk for obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and insomnia. We find ourselves in a reality where there it is difficult to find five minutes for personal peace and quiet, let alone hours devoted to exercising and meal preparation.
If this partially or entirely describes your situation, you are not alone. At Science and Strength (S&S) we are no strangers to modern day responsibilities, exhaustive calendar, while chasing timelines. With 9-to-5 and beyond schedules we too fell into revolving cycle of convenient foods and lack of proper exercise resulting in weight gain, poor sleep and being constantly tired. Wanting change led us towards a path of research, practical of training and flexible nutrition experimentation resulting in program to success. These results surpassed beyond aesthetics improving our internal systems (hormones), heart rate, energy levels, mental clarity and overall physical fitness.
As Science writers, our mission is to help you achieve your fitness, nutrition and mind-to-body potentials with an everyday modern life. S&S researches and presents relevant content on fitness and nutrition that is relevant, practical and scientifically based. Our goal is for S&S readers to experience health and wellness success in today’s busy, stressful existence, discovering a new state than just surviving the next deadline.

Victor Yablonsky B.Sc., CSCS
Major: Biology and Chemistry
Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist
Victor is passionate about Training! He picked up his first barbell at 14 and began progressively overloading his body even since. With time and inconsistent training, Victor developed a number of upper and lower body injuries (learn more at Stronger Leaner Faster Him). Modern day lifestyle, poor eating habits, and inability to exercise to full capacity, resulted in Victor’s steady weight gain (learn more at The No-Diet Book). Tipping the scale of 272 pounds, Victor began to show health risk signs relating to excess body weight and often had difficult time matching energy levels of his two children.
To change, Victor utilized his science background and began to research and analyze training principles to not only lose body fat, but produce a maintainable Stronger, Leaner, Faster body. All these factors led to the philosophy of this Site – Periodization Training and Lifestyle Habits. As a father, a husband and an entrepreneur, Victor studies, tests and develops training content for Science and Strength, including all of the posted routines. By using Stronger, Leaner, Faster principles, Victor lost almost sixty pounds and maintains a washboard stomach 365 days a year.
