How To Become Instantly Stronger, Part 3

by GEOFFN July 26, 2010 Philosophy

I have something to confess.
I am easily distracted.
I don’t think I have ADD or anything like that, I think I’m just naturally curious. I’m interested in the world around me. It’s a big, beautiful, wonderful world – famines, disasters, and wars excepted.

It’s no secret – I LOVE the sport of Weightlifting.

Little things…

by GEOFFN June 29, 2010 Philosophy

“Don’t sweat the small stuff” it’s been said.
But what if the “devil’s in the details?”
