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.

Hydration 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.

Perhaps my favorite picture from high school gymnastics. This is called a Hecht vault. I later learned to do it with a full twist. Its almost never done anymore as its too easy. I loved the feeling of flying.

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.
