You see, THIS is the problem with blogs. The everyday post thing.
Not to make any excuses, because there really isn't any acceptable one, but I have been out of town for over 2 months. So I'm not at my home computer, and I had lost my login info to my blog site. I am still out of town, but today for some reason, bam, my login info just pops into my head. I have written it down, so let the updates begin.
First, I am in south Florida, so it has been necessary to join a gym, since I have been here for so long. I have suggested before that changing up your routine is necessary to keep the mind and body working, and I am living the change.
More details are to come, but it is very exciting to see how a completely different group of people, in a completely different part of the country train. Turns out that weight lifting routines are as varied and as numerous as I had thought. But having said that, the basic principals STILL apply. The biggest guys here lift the most weight, for only 6-8 reps, and spend a lot of time on compound exercises.
Who would've thought?

About Me
- Steve Robbins
- So on what authority do I have to be giving fitness advice? Good question. Let’s answer it. I'm not a professional when it comes to bodybuilding, fitness, medicine or nutrition. What I am is like 99% of the people you see everyday. What does separate me is that I can bench twice my weight, throw on a pair of running shoes and run a marathon. Oh, and I just turned 51. I do know what works and how to be fit. I live it everyday. In 1980 I was 5’9’’ tall and weighed 149 lbs. By the time I was 35 I weighed in at 161. Most of the 12 lb gain was around the waist, yet I had knocked around gyms trying to “get big” all this time. Today my weight is 190 with a 32" waist, 18" arms and a 49" chest. I can and do run marathons, though I hate cardio and am slowly giving it up. I haven’t been sick in 10 years. Nothing magical. Get your mind right. Low rep, high weight serious lifting. Whey protein, creatine. Eat right. Have a routine bedtime and get your rest. Clean healthy living. I am stronger, bigger and leaner at 51 than I was at 21, 31 and 41. Hopefully the things you read here can do the same for you.
