The Surprise 20 Minute Workout…
So it’s Friday evening, and I’m stoked. I’ve got the top down on the car, the tunes cranked, a shaker cup with a scoop each of H+Blocker and CE-XL in my hand, and I’m off to the gym for a chest workout. I’m looking forward to a good solid hour of hammering my chest in relative solitude (it’s always dead on Friday nights… most people have a life of some sort… lol). As I drive along,...
Max OT – Week 3
It feels good to be off for a couple of days… This is shaping up to be a good, grueling program, but by the time I get to the end of the 5th day, you can stick a fork in me…I’m done.

It’s really the nicest e-book of it’s kind that I’ve seen (hey, I said...

Durian-Flavored Cookies?
I live in the Pacific Northwest now…but needless to state, I won’t be going in search of these… On the plus side, though, I imagine it would be difficult to overeat them. 😉 (More about the durian...
