I have two new articles this month already out.  One of them is in the latest issue (April '09) of Iron Man magazine - see pic to the left - and the other is at the website www.dragondoor.com.
The Iron Man article is entitled "Total Training" and it deals with full-body workouts for advanced lifters.  Which, despite what many of you "split" advocates might believe, is still the best kind of training that can be performed.
The Dragon Door article is entitled "The Heavy-Light-Medium System for Strength and Power."
Check both of them out.

Old-School Muscle Building Methods - Pat Casey, King of the Powerlifters

       The following is an excerpt from my upcoming book, currently titled "The Book of Old-School Bodybuilding Methods."  (It's my tentative title, so it could change.)  This is the chapter on Pat Casey.  It's a revision of a much earlier article that I posted in 2017.  I am posting this excerpt for a couple of reasons.  One, obviously, is to drum up interest in my new book.  The second is to demonstrate how different this one is from the earlier article.  Although most of the chapters in my book are revisions of articles I have already written for the blog, I have added a good bit to each one, and revised them so that they are, I believe, MUCH better than what I originally wrote, meaning that I think you will want to purchase the book even if I have articles already available on most of the book's subjects.      With that out of the way, here is Chapter 11 of my upcoming book: Pat Casey, King of the Powerlifters... ...

Big Beyond Belief, HIT, Phil Hernon, and Other Things from the '90s

     Before you even begin this post, let me warn you: it may be one of the most rambling things I’ve written.   This is primarily because I’m not sure if I know exactly what the hell I’m going to say—which has never exactly stopped me in the past, mind you—but I do have several things on my mind as of late.   (Add to the fact that I’ve not written too much in the last few weeks, and so I knew I needed to get something on my blog.)      It all started a few days ago when my friend Josh texted me—I hate texting, but I must admit that it has become a pretty good way to communicate with friends who live several states away—and wanted to know if I remembered the book “Big Beyond Belief” from the mid to late ‘90s, and wanted to know what I thought/think about it.   Did I remember it?   Heck, yeah, I remembered it, I proceeded to tell him.   Hell, I shelled out a hefty $50 for the thing, at a time when I had l...

The Bodhisattvas of Budo

Fudo Myoo, the "Patron Saint" of Many Japanese swordsmen. Some History and Stories from the “Warrior Saints” of the Martial Ways      Looking back on my life, I often think of my first loves as a child.  Without a doubt, the first thing that I fell in love with was cinema.  In the ‘70s, my dad worked as a film critic for a local newspaper, so he saw everything that came out at the theaters—not as many movies were released back then—and often took me along with him if he thought it was something I would enjoy, sometimes for early screenings before the film was actually released.  I have the fondest memories of the drive-in movie theater only a block away from our house in the Ozark mountains of Farmington, Arkansas.  I can recall seeing Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Star Wars in 1977 there as if it was yesterday, along with every single Roger Moore led James Bond film to hit the screen.  It may be hated by critics, but Moonraker...
