It's where I write stuff
I've been experimenting with adding carbohydrates back into my diet to see how I would feel, and more importantly, to see if it made me fat. I got so lean using a ketogenic diet, and it was pretty effortless, that I had convinced myself it was the lack of carbohydrates, and the fat adaptation that …
Conspiracy against the United States sound like a pretty bad crime. Add on a few more charges, that also sound pretty awful, like Conspiracy to Launder Money and being an Unregistered Agent of a Foreign Principal, and things look downright sleazy. My guess is that the President of the United States will now fire Special …
I trained full body, 6 days a week for 3 weeks and was lightly sore basically every day, but it was very manageable and not in the least debilitating. After 8 days without lifting, I am almost crippled from a full body workout. I will never again, intentionally, take that much time off.
A magnificent match up of facial hair takes center stage tonight in Houston. Dallas Keickel climbs the mound with his intimidating hedge: When the Dodgers take the field, Clayton Kershaw brings his long locks and matching whiskers to stare down Astros hitters: I am green with follicle envy.
You know, for the longest time I have used the remarkable medium called the blog incorrectly. I started blogging because I love to write and it gave me a place to do that. Then I got pleasure from making cool websites, picking themes and creating clever URLs. But then I was caught up in the …

The bodybuilding rats performed either 1, 3, 5, 10 or 20 sets of resistance exercise. Muscle samples were obtained and researchers found that 1 set did …
Goals are stupid things humans do. Short term, long term; doesn't matter. There are countless examples of goal-setting gone awry, and there are reasons for this that are hardwired in our brains from eons of evolution. Our brains are programmed to survive. New situations and challenges are a threat to survival, especially if they require …
Not training is really bad for my head. While I fully prepared for the Strategic Deconditioning, and was even contemplating pushing it to 14 days, last night I threw the whole plan in the trash and revamped a strength oriented training plan to start today! I slept better as a result, but while walking with …
I bitched and moaned, but in the end, I paid up. I couldn't find a more affordable way to host my blog than keeping it right here on WordPress and paying them to let me use my own domain. Ain't nothing free in this world friends and neighbors.
