A common concept these days is that one can acquire huge muscles simply by curling a few dumbbells a couple times a week. That might get you started on the road to buffness, but you won’t have those Arnold Schwarzanegger-like muscles that you’re looking for. The only way to get big (besides steroids) is through lots, and lots, of hard work. How do I know? Because of my day with my Uncle Chris Woconish–a fitness … Read entire article »

The editor hammers away at his typewriter, a worn fedora pulled low over one eye. He rolls his battered cigar from one side of his mouth to the other, completely absorbed in his work.
