Miscellaneous Miscellany Monday: 8/6/12
1. I firmly believe that one of the best ways to bring up any lift is repeated exposures to that lift. One major mistake I see a lot of trainees make – particularly intermediate and advanced lifters (beginners can do ANYTHING and get stronger, and we all hate you for it) – is assuming that… Read more
Miscellaneous Miscellany Monday: Car Shopping, Common DL Mistake, Secret Project, Etc.
1. Okay, the time has come. I need a new car. I’ve held off for as long as I could, but my car is on its last legs (er, wheels???). I’ve had it – Hyundai Elantra GT – for ten years and coming up on 186,000 miles, so I don’t have too much room to complain…. Read more

A Girlfriend’s Response To the Atrocity That Is Women’s Fitness Marketing
UPDATE: said girlfriend who wrote this post is now my wife. Holla! It seems I ruffled a few feathers last week when I re-visited my 4 Things Your Girlfriend Should Know article. For those who need to catch up: 1. I wrote an article five years ago. 2. It got sucked into some sort of… Read more
Tony Takes a Yoga Class – Part I
“Is there anyone here who’s new or who’s never done yoga before?” the tall, lean, yoga instructor asked. Taking a glance around the room, with my girlfriend sitting directly to my right, and surrounded by a roomful of women, I reluctantly raised my hand. Slowly. I gave a nervous, meager chuckle and that’s how it… Read more
