On a recent show you heard Coach Wade Johnson tell us that he has made the cut to be an alternate at the upcoming IPF Classic World Championship in Olympic Lifting. This is a huge opportunity for one of our Super Humans. But is costs money to do this. So what Coach has decided to do, instead of a GoFundMe page or similar, he has designed a one-off T-shirt with the signature Ogre Wear theme. T-shirts are $25 each and come in red or yellow (Ogre Compound Team colors) and available from Small to 5X. Lets support one of our own and we can all be part of this once-in-a-lifetime occasion.

As I near my 60th birthday I take time to reflect over my life. It’s been a great life so far. Really. I don’t feel 60 and when I compare myself to others I know I don’t perform like a 60 year old man in the USA. Now that’s not to say I don’t have any challenges. Health-wise I’ve been chasing this neurological disorder that appears to be exactly what my sister had when she as misdiagnosed as having Parkinson’s Disease. The way I’ve chosen to handle it is vastly different. That brings me to an aspect of my life I want to focus upon in this blog. I was texting one day with Shannan Yorton Penna. I texted her that I wanted to impress my mortician. I said, “when I’m on that slab I want him/her to say ‘wow… this guy squeezed every bit out of this body that he...

It’s widely reported that Mark Twain knew and predicted the day of his own death throughout his life. He was born on November 30th, 1835 the day Hailey’s Comet circled the Earth. He died 75 years later upon its next coming on April 21st, 1910. How did this affect him? Knowing and believing that he knew the exact day of his death well in advance? His life was filled with achievement. He was an “American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. Among his novels are The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1875) and its sequel, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called "The Great American Novel". It's funny how one thought leads to a more obscure but interesting one. With my birthday coming up I thought to myself "it would make a cool bookend to a life if I died the same day I was born. Just many years...

I’ve had a hard time getting back into leg training. Since August I’ve trained legs an average of twice a month. It’s not from fear of tearing anything or complications from previous injuries. It’s my left foot which I suffered a crush injury in April of 2016 which has gotten progressively worse over time. The crush injury caused the nerves in my foot to become aggravated which put in motion muscle imbalances that pulled two middle toes out of their sockets and caused the metatarsal of the big toe to spread away from the foot causing the first joint of the big toe to separate. As the foot has gotten worse over the past year the pain of walking has increased. But I never let that stop me from training legs as heavy as I always have in the past. But that all changed after doing heavy farmer walks one day....

We can’t fix healthcare without first addressing “why” so many American’s are sick and unhealthy today. If we don’t address that, we will run out of money trying to keep a growing sick population alive no matter how great the new healthcare plan is. The same is true if we just keep the AHA. We can not outrun this problem and throwing more money at it won't solve it either. The hard work is going to be dismantling the industries that are at the root of the epidemic of illness today. The short list is:  - Chemical Manufacturers  - Food Manufacturers   - Big Ag  - Big Pharma  - The Medical Orthodoxy  - The Main Stream Media Each of these industries has a hand in the outright poisoning of our food supply and the prescribed use of drugs whose side effects are worse than the diseases they treat and the misinformation that makes...
