Cup Check

September 24, 2007

My friend Joe Stankowski gave me a nice write-up over at his blog, Morning Cup of Joe.

And just because this is my lucky month, I'm quoted in this story from the October issue of Women's Health, which is on newsstands now.

My Favorite Subject

July 14, 2007

Leigh Peele just posted a detailed and very flattering interview with me on her blog. It's the first time I've gone into this kind of detail about the content of New Rules of Lifting for Women, and I get into the book's backstory as well.

I'll be referring to this one often in the months leading up to the book's release on December 27.

NROL for Women Available for Pre-Order

July 08, 2007

The Amazon pre-order page is up for New Rules of Lifting for Women, which is scheduled for a December 27 release.

It's never too early to surprise that special someone with the perfect post-Christmas, pre-New Year ...

Okay, I can't think of any compelling reason to pre-order NROL for Women so many months before its release. So I'll just quote my role model: "It'd be a lot cooler if you did."

By the way, if you came here looking for my new, improved, fully networked and interactive and optimized blog, just click here.

Listen to This

April 27, 2007

I'll be on the Fitness Buff radio show with Pete and Sabrina this afternoon. (I'm very precisely scheduled for 5:23 to 5:27.) It's always a lot of fun, and you can hear it live.

Speaking of me and my big mouth, I did a new Internet show, Big Butt Radio, earlier this month. You can find the hour-long program here. I was on third, following Donnie Osmond and boxing trainer Rob Pilger. I give it high marks for entertainment value, as the conversation veered to MILFs, breast implants, Jack Nicholson, and ab training.

If listening to me isn't enough, be sure to check out the new and technologically functional Male Pattern Fitness here.

See You in the Rock!

April 11, 2007

I'm off to Little Rock for the fifth annual JP Fitness Summit from Thursday through Sunday.

Last I heard, there were still a few seats left. So if anyone just happens to be in Little Rock on Friday or Saturday and wants to drop in to hear some very smart folks talk about our favorite subjects, you could still make it.

Unfortunately, if you get there by 9 a.m. on Friday, you'll have to listen to me before the smart people begin speaking. But after that it's nothing but the best and brightest.

A Whole New Blog

April 06, 2007

And now the news:

I've started a new blog, which like this one is called Male Pattern Fitness.

Why a new MPF?

As many of you know, I've been unsatisfied with this site from the get-go. I was frustrated with the blog's inability to accept comments from readers (except those Dan Brown fans who'd figured out how to crack the comment-posting code), the site's lack of connectivity to the greater blogosphere, and the expense involved in making even the most minor modifications to the site.

I can't say when I reached the tipping point, but I do know that in the past year or so I've started telling friends and colleagues that I really needed two sites: one for promoting my books, articles, interviews, and appearances, and one for blogging. This site works just fine for promoting my work, so what I really needed was a new place to blog.

Most of you know that I'm a pretty serious seamhead. I occasionally post on baseball message boards. (Please don't share that fact with my wife or any of my former employers.) In fact, I got the idea for starting a fitness message board at menshealth.com from my clandestine experience with online sports argumentation. For the past few months, my favorite baseball site has been Viva El Birdos, which is part of Sports Blog Nation. SB Nation, just to take things full circle, is run by Tyler Bleszinski, a former colleague of mine at Men's Health.

So I asked Tyler if I could join his blogging collective, and I guess I caught him on a good day, because he agreed. His folks designed the very cool site, and I should soon be blogging away on the new and (vastly) improved MPF. Meanwhile, I'll continue to update this site when I do something worth promoting, and of course you can find me for at least a few minutes a day over at JP Fitness.

Thanks for your time and attention here, and I look forward to continuing our conversation over there. And this time, you should find it easy and fun to hold up your end of that conversation.

Hate to be cryptic, but ... well, in this case I can't really avoid it.
