Are You As Strong As A 2nd Grader?

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Here is my son Gabriel.  He is 7 years old and tips the scale at a whopping 50 pounds.  Below is a photo I snapped of Gabe deadlifting 70 lbs.  That’s just shy of 1.5 x his bodyweight.

I know that you think that it is only due to him being gifted with superhuman strength due to his superior genetic line.   Yup, that’s it.

I Screwed Up (yet again)

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Well I’ve done it again.

Due to a few extenuating circumstances (not the least of which was me co-coordinating my own schedule – I should never be in charge of that) I have had to postpone the start of the 6 Week Body Transformation Program.

This is GREAT NEWS for you!

Especially if you who were on the fence about signing up – because now you still can!

Leaving Las Vegas

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Last weekend I had the opportunity to visit Las Vegas on someone else’s dime. My wife Denyse had gotten roped into a timeshare presentation, with one of the free gifts being 3 days in Vegas. So we figured what the hell.

I have only been to Vegas once, and it was about 12 years ago. I heard things were different but…

Turns out I am not a Vegas type of guy.

I don’t drink, gamble or smoke. So that doesn’t really leave me much except of course for the prostitutes.

Just kidding.
