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.

Remembering Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris in the late 1980s Some Personal Thoughts and Remembrances on Chuck Norris, Including His Training and Workouts      The essay that follows are some of my personal thoughts and memories on Chuck Norris, including his influence on me as a young martial artist in the early to mid ‘80s, and my own opinions on his training, particularly his lifting workouts, when I look back on it with my current knowledge.  I have done very little research for this post, other than looking up the year a movie was made or the title of a film I may have forgotten, which means that I may be incorrect about a few things—whatever historical mistakes I may have made in what follows, then, I apologize for.  I hope, however, that you find my remembrances informative and, perhaps, entertaining.  I hope my lack of research is made up for in the personal style—I tried to write it as if I was just having a conversation with a friend and telling him about my love of...

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...

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... ...
