A Saturday Hike

Texas, on the balance, is pretty damn flat. Save for the Big Bend Region, there really aren't much in the way of mountains like the ones I grew up with in Arizona. That said, Austin is effectively the start of the Hill Country here in Texas where it starts looking like this: And possibly the … Continue reading A Saturday Hike →

“Strength Training and the Biomarkers of Aging” video from the 21 Convention

This past summer I presented a talk to the young men of the 21 Convention in which I described how strength training can help expand and retain health through our very finite human lifespan.

Doug McGuff on keeping your liberty by keeping your ass out of the medical system!

I've known Doug McGuff for a number of years now and had the privilege of being able to pick his brain nearly at will (save for when he's not saving someone's ass in the emergency room). Gracious, humble, and more informed than any 3 people you might know combined. As I told him after my … Continue reading Doug McGuff on keeping your liberty by keeping your ass out of the medical system! →

Skyler The Grouch

An alternate title might be "the duality of a personality as it pertains to physical exertion." For those of you still hanging around, let me explain. I'm a very easy-going guy.

Languid Rest

Sometimes you have to break all of your rules. Enjoy just this fleeting instant, without an attempt to influence the path of your life going forward. Drink the wine, eat the gelato, sleep too much, be thrown by the waves and accept how powerless you are in their domain. And once you've done that, you … Continue reading Languid Rest →

Here was yesterday's … Continue reading A Workout Tribute To Doug Holland →
