when my models start asking me how I got in such great shape…
Before a lifting workout, I’ve started a new habit of climbing my 27-story building at a good two-stair-per-stride pace … twice. At the top, some guys were coming down from the roof with drinks.
“You climbed this whole building?”
“Yup … and now I’m going to do it again.”
“That’s crazy man! What are you training for?”
“Life.”
Training: Round 1
Well, my theory was that hiring my ex-girlfriend as a trainer would pay off, because I wouldn’t wuss out no matter what pain she put me through. I also hadn’t considered that she might enjoy being a wee bit extra-sadistic. Put those two together and I may not be able to walk tomorrow.
She knew that I work myself pretty hard, but all in conditioning exercise. So she wanted to do a...

Did it.
I live on the 23rd floor of a 27-story building. So if I walk up to the top of the building, go back down, and then up again to my floor, that’s 50 stories scaled upward. I did it before working out today and it felt great. Heart pounding, chest-heaving, fantastic. I kept up a steady two-step-per-stride pace the whole way. It’s especially good because in a building gym where the max...
Goal:
I can get this, or close to it. Abs in the end are a genetic crapshoot, but this is basically my body type plus a full-time Hollywood personal trainer (and well-chosen lighting). All about will.
Also I get a weird kick when random photos like this still have EXIF. f/20? I wish my sensor were that clean. Another goal…

Work out short and hard, don’t fuck around and pretend it was meaningful because it took two hours.
Week off
I’ve had the week off from the gym because of going back to school, which is about eight extra hours a day of work. i don’t feel bad about it since it’s just five days, until I read Valerie’s Tumblr. Girl is on fire.
With that in mind, I’m going to try to zoom through this slideshow and hit the gym very hard before class.
I am not going to get where I truly want to be without a squat rack and dumbbells only going up to 50lbs.
But I’m bringing in a trainer starting next week. Misson? Be Batman. I used to mostly use female trainers because I knew I’d never want to wuss out in front of them no matter how sadistic they were. Now? Even better — my ex-girlfriend. You’d better believe I’ll...
I took a rest day yesterday because I have a slight head cold and I want it dead, dead, dead by the weekend. But I’m on almost a week of my paleo(ish) diet and it’s not just working, it’s fantastic. Christmas is gone and then some. The love handle area tends to be my last to go, and I can’t pinch anything but skin there. And I’ve been eating a LOT. I had a gigantic...
