Boiling The Frog

Boiling the Frog
 
Over the years I have tried to convince myself several times that I did not need to train heavy but it never really took.  I would train light and high reps for about a week or two then feel like my muscles were going flat.  Maybe it’s mental, but I feel all mushy [...]

Oz and The Tin Man

The title may be a little misleading because I believe that some supplements are good.  In fact, the supplements that I am taking right now seem to be working very well.  Over the past few years, I have tried many different brands and categories of supplements.  Some have worked well and some not so well.  [...]

Hello world!

When I was about 10 years old, I began to pick up my brothers weights.  Being one of the smaller kids in the neighborhood, naturally I wanted to be bigger.  Having a short attention span and seeing no results in 2 days, I turned my energy elsewhere.  At the age of 13 I watched little Bill [...]
