Building the Behemoth

A friend of mine here in Tuscaloosa - Jared Smith - has a new blog. It looks like it'll be pretty cool (especially if you're into super-high-intensity training).

Here's a link:

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...

Marvin Eder’s Mass-Building Methods

  The Many and Varied Mass-Building Methods of Power Bodybuilding’s G.O.A.T. Eder as he appeared in my article "Full Body Workouts" for IronMan  magazine.      In many ways, the essay you are now reading is the one that has had the “longest time coming.”  I have no clue why it has taken me this long to write an article specifically on Marvin Eder, especially considering the fact that I have long considered him the greatest bodybuilder cum strength athlete of all friggin’ time .  In fact, over 20 years ago, I wrote this in the pages of IronMan magazine: In my opinion, the greatest all-around bodybuilder, powerlifter and strength athlete ever to walk the planet, Eder had 19-inch arms at a bodyweight of 198. He could bench 510, squat 550 for 10 reps and do a barbell press with 365. He was reported to have achieved the amazing feat of cranking out 1,000 dips in only 17 minutes. Imagine doing a dip a second for 17 minutes. As Gene Mozee once put ...

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...
