I am deeply ashamed at how long I let this go, but I finally wrote the first part of 201. With video this time!

Shovelglove 201 - Comprehensive Review

I hope you enjoy it and that it...

Hello everybody! Whew, five months went by in the blink of an eye. I regret dropping the ball so utterly and completely, but rest assured I've been keeping it very real indeed. My lifts... oh,...

Woot! My second child was born today. His name is Max. Could it be otherwise?

Thanks to my invincible warrior princess bride, I now have two sons who will surely rival Romulus and Remus. Even...

Thanks for that, ajrw! I would love to see more Primal people on Fitocracy.

Many thanks, uuelanaeq41! Primal living has transformed me. But in many ways it feels as though the transformation...

Wednesday

This journal is transforming into a collection of random thoughts, which is more fun anyway. My workout details are on Fitocracy and my diet details are utterly boring, even to me. ...

MadelynMc -- Just awesome! Look at those upper arms. Maybe it's the lighting in the last pic but you've got serious definition coming in. I know several women who would envy your progress.
...

Saoirse, it was just a little experiment I was doing to see how much water I retained in a typical workout (I sip a lot between sets) and to see if there was a correlation with DOMS the next day. At...

Holidays survived!

In the event, I overtrained a bit. Minding the toddler all day long in addition to my regular workouts turned out to be a bit much. And so my appetite went through the roof...

Congrats on surviving the holidays. A little bit of junk food and alcohol is just more fuel for the furnace. Looking forward to reading about your plans for 2012!

Man, it's been over a decade since I've seen that. Got to watch it again. I feel like it would really resonate with the whole primal thing.

Good for you with the weightlifting! Personally, no...

Sounds like an exemplary holiday. So awesome that the other people in your life are also doing well. The aura effect of a successful primal lifestyle!

Welcome back, and good luck on those tough...

Joan, you look amazing in every way! Incredible to think that's just seven days difference. Judging from your improved skin tone, you have been knocking back serious carotenoids. Green veg? ...

I couldn't decide between Joules or Watts, so I defaulted to BTUs. But in the future I think I will use equivalent mass of TNT.

Fantastic! That is a worthy alternative to irreparable brain damage. It will be a great read.

As for wanting to move while strapped to the box, I know the feeling. The best I can do is tap my...

Holy crap, Canada's food pyramid is even stupider than the revised American food pyramid -- uh, "myplate".

Totally know where you're coming from. There's a lot more money to be made keeping...

I think the personal trainer certification is useful to convince people you're an "expert", but your biggest credential would be your own physique. One of my dreams is to attain bodybuilder...

Hehe. You should see what happens when I fail a bench press! Although it would be nice to have a spotter, or at least a witness.

Dado, philosophical bullseye as usual. Embrace failure! It is when the unstoppable force of your will meets the unmoveable object of reality, and magic happens. Some of my most precious squat...

I have to admit my initial reaction was, "only 185 pounds"?

Thursday

Yay, I had the energy to get up this morning to take the toddler for a walk. But the toddler himself was not game! We had only gone about a half mile, and then, "Want to go home. Want...

Good question! It's hard to know, really. My strategy since November 10 has been to cycle Eurycoma Longifolia and Tribulus Terrestris, 10 days on and 5 days off.

Without getting a lot of...

Wednesday

Winter solstice tonight. Thank goodness the earth's axis is headed in the right direction once again. At least from my perspective.

I've been reading Arnold Schwarzenegger's "New...

This is the truth. The stache is pulling Triffith in the right direction. He is on his way to becoming a primal Arthur Saxon!

Uncephalized, great to see you survived! This time of year with its short days, cold weather, and boring indoor activities makes it harder than ever to resist hyperpalatable food substitutes. My...

Have fun on NerdFitness, Carole! You've been an inspiration to me!
