If you've noticed that I've not been on facebook or twitter lately, that's because I haven't. I've found that I can communicate with those I like to communicate with just fine without "social" media.

Finally – “Strength Training and its Effects on the Biomarkers of Aging”

How’s Your Training Going?
Really, how is it? Are you jumping around from program to program? Are you trying to find the way to activate the most stabilizer muscles instead of focusing on getting stronger for reps?

Eggs And Cholesterol: A Tale Of Two Countries

Eggs, Protein Usage, And You.
Who am I and what have I done with Skyler? In addition to being insanely busy with grad school and doing things like hiking out to Los Angeles to check in on our studio-in-a-skyscraper, I've just not been as motivated to write as I've been in the past.
