F Cubed: Fitness, Finance, and Faith

By James Schultz

F Cubed: fitness, finance, and faith. All the tools you need for physical health and financial well-being. From nutrition (macros, calories, treat days, clean eating and dirty bulks) to training (strength, hypertrophy, volume, intensity, and block design). From budgeting (saving, spending, credit, and debt) to investing (passively, actively, long-term, and short term) From a chubby kid turned bodybuilder with almost two decades of education and experience in the world of finance, Jim Schultz shoots it straight with F Cubed. Oh, and there's a healthy dose of JESUS along the way, too.

If not, you're doing yourself a disservice, and you're making the process harder than it needs to be - needlessly so.

Ep #166: Option Moneyness: Understanding OTM, ITM an ATM Options

One of the key building blocks to all of options is Option Moneyness.  

Whether you’re looking at purely in-the-money and out-of-the-money options, or you’re focusing exclusively on out-of-the-money calls and out-of-the-money puts, if you don’t have a clear understanding of the differences between ITM, ATM, and OTM options, it will be difficult to get comfortable with more sophisticated strategies.

Ep #165: The 2 Big Advantages To Selling Options

New to shorting an option? There are 2 key advantages to short premium that long premium (or long options) don't have: time and volatility.  

So when it comes to selling options vs buying options, and just short options trading in general, it's important to see how these two metrics are on your side as an option seller.

Ep #163: Don't Buy Options

If you want the best buying options strategy out there, simple - don't do it. Without question, stock derivatives can give your portfolio unique exposure to different risk return relationships, but the negative theta that comes along with long options strategies makes them very difficult to make profitable in the long-term.

Ep #156: High Volume Training With More Sets? - No, Do This Instead

Ep #156: High Volume Training With More Sets? - No, Do This Instead

It’s pretty hard to argue that high volume training is an effective way to grow.

Whether it be a high volume chest workout, high volume back workout, high volume arms workout (#pumpchasers), or a high volume shoulder workout, the evidence is clear - more volume typically means more progress.

But, we want to be careful that we don’t always add sets to our sessions, at the expense of more load or more reps. Because in the training volume vs intensity discussion, intensity is critically important, too.

So in the search for the optimal training volume for hypertrophy, let’s be aware of all the factors.
