My book.
Amazon.com: Books: Developing your chest (Getting strong)
My only published book. I wrote this in 1984 in two weeks. I had never written anything other than freelance magazine articles and this was quite a challenge. A great time in my life as well.I wrote two others for Bob Andersons Runner's World Series, a back training book and a legs and glutes book but he got divorced and sold the publishing company.

The History of Powerlifting
Introduction This is the best site on the evolution of Powerlifting as a sport.Great, great archival stuff.
Hydration calculator
calculator
this is an interesting little hydration calculator. I have been drinking much more water lately and can really feel the difference. Much less muscle pain and the knee is actually a little better as well.

Me, multi time World Champion Powerlifter Greg Jones( middle) and one of the strongest men I have ever known, Scott Waits. Scott was my training partner for many years. Smart smart guy and dedicated to the sport as much as anyone I have ever known. This is in San Luis Obispo at the Central Cal meet in 1995. Perhaps the best run meet ever.
My first power meet
My first powerlifting meet,1985. Perhaps the longest running power meet in america, the San Jose Ironman, a combination of bodybuilding AND powerlifting. You powerlift first, then compete in a bodybuilding meet.I was a bodybuilder at the time but caught the power bug for real five years later. I believe the weight on the bar was 440.

Kettlebell Sport by Andrey Kuzmin
Kettlebell Sport by Andrey Kuzmin
Great illustrations of proper kettlebell technique for the snatch. Pavel calls it "fluid and vicious" and it is that and more. On eof my all time favorite exercises. reminds me of my gymnastics days. Moving quickly and ballistically is so much different than heavy, slow lifting.

Reflections on government

Reflections on government
I am in such a political mood lately with the insanity of the world so very present in daily life.
this got messed up so I am re-posting it.
REFLECTIONS ON GOVERNMENT
1) Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself
Mark Twain
2) I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
Winston Churchill
3) A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
George Bernard Shaw
4) Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
James Bovard, Civil Libertarian (1994)
5) Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.
Douglas Casey,
Classmate of Bill Clinton at Georgetown University
6) Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.
P.J. O'Rourke, Civil Libertarian
7) Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
Frederic Bastiat, French Economist (1801-1850)
8) Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
Ronald Reagan (1986)
9) I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
Will Rogers
10) If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free.
P.J. O'Rourke
11) If you want government to intervene domestically, you're a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you're a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you're a moderate. If you don't want government to intervene anywhere, you're an extremist.
Joseph Sobran, Former Editor of the National Review (1995)
12) In general, the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.
Voltaire (1764)
13) Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you.
Pericles (430 B.C.)
14) No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session
Mark Twain (1866)
15) Talk is cheap ... except when Congress does it.
Unknown
16) The government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other.
Ronald Reagan
17) The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.
Winston Churchill
18) The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin.
Mark Twain
19) The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools.
Herbert Spencer, English Philosopher (1820-1903)
20) There is no distinctly native American criminal class save Congress.
Mark Twain
21) What this country needs are more unemployed politicians.
Edward Langley, Artist (1928 - 1995)
22) A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.
Thomas Jefferson, Famous Revolutionary
23) A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money.
G. Gordon Liddy
24) They're all liars.
Bob Thorne

a very interesting question and article about the proper role of government. It can't be that the absence of governments is the ultimate goal as that is just anarchy and rule by the strongest.
