As I mentioned in the last installment of Microblog Monday, I’m a student of the Westside Barbell Conjugate Method. Earlier in my training career, this apprenticeship was much more pronounced than it is now.

This was a somewhat selfish episode for me, as I’ve been inching closer and closer to the unveil of a massive announcement for Ruthless. Its reassuring that someone as …
I’m going to jump into this week’s Featured Content as quickly as I can, but first, I wanted to mention my participation in this year’s Ben to the Shore Bike Tour. The tour is scheduled for this upcoming Sunday (July 24th), and this year I’ll be bringing along Kronos, my pitbull from Hillside SPCA here …
