Sometimes a girl just wants to feel sexy, stylish, and dressy. I love high heels, I mean love them! In fact my only flats include a pair of Rainbow flip flops, my workout shoes, and a pair of black flip flops. Everything else has a heel of 3 inches or taller. And by everything else, [...]

I have a young mom. When I was a kid my mom was one of the youngest at PTA meetings, I can remember her turning the big 3-0, and I remember her being able to keep up with my crazy brother and I (we were both athletic kids). There were times she was embarrassed about [...]
How can I thank my loyal readers here at Lifting Revolution!? I love you all and really appreciate you stopping by this thing I call my life! I am sure I’ve mentioned it in the past, on top of The Art of Weight Lifting, I also run a full time boot camp business here in [...]
I love weight training, and I love lifting big bulky weights! So there. But of course you knew that already, which is why I love you! Thanks! I might lift big bulky weights, but I can say with 100% confidence that I’ve never been called “bulky”. Why you might ask? After all, I can bench [...]
Oh this is a golden gem of a workout! When I felt amazing when it was over but quite relieved too! You’ll see what I am talking about! This is a purely body weight workout but don’t be fooled… it is a toughy. It’s filled with my favorite 4-exercises! Yup, just 4-exercises! Bikini Body Exercises: [...]
“The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution.” – Bertrand Russell OK, so it’s been a while since I documented a run of workouts, so what better time to take a snapshot of things than Thanksgiving week? Actually, this turned out to be a fairly [...]
“Every man is the builder of a temple called his body.” – Henry David Thoreau As a frequent Forum, with Michael Krasny listener, I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional Ancestral Wellness literacy expressed in this recent show (Are Humans Meant for Monogamy?) by guest Christopher Ryan, psychologist and co-author of “Sex at Dawn: The [...]
A great truth is a truth whose opposite is also a truth. Thomas Mann I know, I know; the idea of nutrient timing is not exactly Paleo in the most strict sense of the term, and certainly not part of the DeVany-esq, Evolutionary Fitness schema. If you’re a performance-driven athlete, however (or just an average Joe/Jane [...]
…I feel like a wet seed wild in the hot blind earth… That’s William Faulkner, whose birthday was Sunday. And who, together with Cormac McCarthy, have produced all the literature I’ll ever really need. All else, while nice enough, is simply superfluous. And speaking of “a hot wild seed in the blind earth”, check out this picture [...]
“I’d rather live with a good question than a bad answer.” – Aryeh Frimer I like to revisit certain performance markers every now and again throughout the ebb and flow of the training season; markers that, over the years, I have been able to correlate, at least within myself, to a well-rounded athleticism. These [...]
Since I have no specific athletic or body composition goal in mind — other than chasing the fullest, most well-rounded expression of my phenotype — I’m at liberty to explore, to the widest extent, the speed-strength continuum and the force-velocity curve. In English? I get to dabble with my workouts, mix it up; have fun and [...]
Deal with the Devil if the Devil has a constituency – and don’t complain about the heat – C. J. Cherryh Not complaining, just sayin’, you know; 106-degrees F at the time I performed this little sprint routine, on the way to the day’s high of 111. No telling how friggin’ hot it was out [...]
“To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.” – Benjamin Franklin Excellent! Always a man ahead of his time; cool Ben, the original proponent of intermittent fasting The Ancestral Health Symposium, 2011 In a word, just a fabulous, fabulous, 2-day event. I won’t go into a complete re-tread of of AHS 2011 events here; soon enough, [...]
I write this as I’m taking a break from putting the finishing touches on my upcoming 21 Convention presentation and, concurrently, reading Rebecca Costa’s The Watchman’s Rattle (heh, who says old-schoolers can’t multitask, huh?). The Watchman’s Rattle is just a fantastic read; really tough to put down. Just as Peter McAllister’s Manthropology reaffirmed my contention [...]
“A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that’s unlocked and opens inwards; as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push.” – Ludwig Wittgenstein Heh; OK, so you thought I’d fallen off the edge of the earth, huh? Well, not exactly; it’s just that I’ve just [...]
