Could I Work Out Any Less?
Jul 10, 2011
My experiments with stretch/flex are going well. I do like to theorize and then experiment. It is much like Nassim Taleb's idea of tinkering, always informed by some nascent theory and the need to test ideas.
As you know by now, the idea is to try to flex a stretched muscle or stretch a flexed one. This lengthens the muscle, a factor in speed, flexibility, and mass. It also alters the expression of proteins involved in muscle growth. What I find so nice about this technique is that my workouts are now really quite brief and I feel quite a bit more flexible with no soreness at all.

Posture, Again
Feb 10, 2011
People notice and often stop to praise my posture. It is not so much that mine is so good, but that others have such poor posture.
Grace and symmetry
Oct 10, 2010
I always focus on grace and symmetry in my workouts, including my sprinting. I hold the abdominal brace, lifting my heart, and looking over my cheekbones. This is the posture of power and confidence.
Male Fitness Models
May 11, 2010
Those cut looking abs on that magazine cover are Photoshopped and the model is dehydrated, so drained of glucose that he is confused, and not very fit.
Core Exercises
May 6, 2010
Here are my basic core exercises. There are only 4 because of the way I work other muscles when I train.
Lifting Your Heart
Jan 20, 2010
I train for poise and symmetry. You don't always get what you want, but you can always get nearer to your goal. I try to open the chest, and do exercises for that, and I always think "lift my heart". It gives you a positive attitude and look.
Happy New Year from WW and Art
Dec 30, 2009
WW and I wish all of you and yours a Happy New Year. Thanks for the great start to our new site; we are way over a million hits in the less than one month the site has been up.
Now for a smile from my one and only to make our wish in person. Could 72 look any better?
Stubborn Abdominal Fat
Dec 3, 2009
In the end, your abdominal fat is primarily a function of your metabolism. It has little to do with burning calories or restricting your intake.
