It's where I write stuff
The plethora of dietary information flooding the information superhighway can leave one spinning in a confused haze. Should we skip breakfast and eat later in the day? Should we eat a large breakfast and small dinner? Is 3 meals better than 6? Should we not eat at night? Is the cortisol awakening response good or …
With so many fitness gurus out there, it's hard to know where to turn for solid advice. There's a long list of qualified people, with good credentials, who produce decent content, but if you try to implement everything everyone says, you can find yourself spinning around in constant state of flux, trying everything for a …
I trained yesterday with a very different perspective, and it felt really good. After spending the majority of my lifting life in relentless pursuit of building muscle, the realization--perhaps timed to my 54th birthday--that I am more likely just maintaining what I have than building anything new, settled upon me like a heavy barbell and …
Having just lamented my lack of hypertrophic progress over the years, I dug in and did some research to find likely causes for the stall.

The allegations of sexual misconduct range from Alabama Senate Candidate Roy Moore's relations with a 14-year old girl to celebrities like Kevin Spacey, …
Like other fans of the epic tale, I have followed the on again, off again trials and tribulations of trying to bring the story of Roland Deschain, the last gunslinger, to the big screen.
