Here are a couple of workouts in which I injected a little more volume than what I normally roll with. This is all done in an effort to prevent overtraining, while yet maintaining a relatively high training frequency which I both enjoy, and which my recovery ability can handle. And just to reiterate a point [...]

I recently received a skinny guy weight gain question from across the pond. Someone from The Tree House Press asked, via Twitter, the following (in summary): RE: Carbs and bulking up – You got your size pre paleo; what would you recommend for a 150lb male wishing to add size? I’m out of whack with [...]
“Not to invent yourself is to be false. To follow preordained rules is a profound betrayal of what it means to be human.” – David Starkey In a recent episode of the Kathleen Show, host Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau interviewed T. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study. I know what you’re thinking: WTF?? Why would I [...]
I found myself with a bit of spare time yesterday after work, so what better option than to saddle up the ol’ fixie and head for a spin? I stopped off by the library and returned The 10,000 Year Explosion (a good read, but not quite the ground-breaker I was expecting). Quick interlude — it [...]

2 miles from my house to the gym offers a perfect opportunity for a short fixie huck/warm-up prior to throwing around a little iron. An odd combination, I know. I was asked recently if I was the only fixie [...]
Are you down with the Robb Wolf and Any Deas Paleolithic Solution Podcasts over at Robb Wolf’s blog? If not, you really should be, as they’re a great source of Paleo diet information. Robb is a trained biochemist who was somehow able to shed the prescribed university brainwashing, put two-and two together, and come to [...]
“One’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes
Yesterday, in what amounted to quite a departure from my usual explosive-type workouts, I spent three-and-a-half hours in the fixie saddle, terrorizing the downtown streets and greenway trails in and around Raleigh, NC. Why the departure? Well, I don’t [...]
This workout actually took place yesterday (2/20/10), but I wound-up not having a chance to post it due to being tied-up with work issues. The way the day shaped-up created a nice little n=1 study. A tough workout, performed in a fasted state, followed by very little food – how would I hold-up? Well, very [...]
