Taking Some Time Off …

Fellas, as you can see, my hosting service was able to literally resurrect my blog from its bare state.

Unfortunately, my youtube videos are no longer available; it’s a long and personal story that I don’t care to go into or share in such a public forum.

Yeah, believe it or not, the guy who has been posting semi-nude pics of himself in his underwear on the web since 2007 actually has some things that he’d rather not discuss on his blog (more…)

Standing Face To Face With A Silverback

So, my wife took an Anthropology class a couple of years ago.  And as part of her grade, she had to write a report after visiting the LA Zoo.

My New Training Blog

OK fellas, as promised on last week, today I’m releasing my new and improved Training Log, which I’ve titled The Henry Higgins Strength Project!

A couple of months ago, I stopped writing in my daily online log because I found the wonders of using my flip video camera.  However, I would still get emails from the faithful few readers who missed my written logs.

So, I decided to go back to the old written format of my training log with a splash of videos here and there. (more…)
