Intervention at the Glitter Gym

Usually when I see stupid things at the gym, I keep it to myself and then come home and post my observations here on MAS o Menos. Today I couldn’t stay silent. Even though it was only my 2nd day at this new gym and I’m there on a free pass, I had [...]

Tales From the Glitter Gym - The Smell

It’s been six months since I stepped foot into a Glitter Gym. Today I started at my new gym, which isn’t pure Glitter, but it certainly isn’t a Rust Gym. It’s an odd hybrid, which I’ll call an Independent Glitter. Before I kick off the stories from today, I realized that I [...]

Fitness Derailment

Moving to Queen Anne hasn’t been good for my fitness goals. My gym is back in Bellevue and I’ve only been once since the move. Driving back and forth across the bridge is not a good plan. My building has a little mini gym where the dumb-bells max out at 30 pounds. [...]

Revisiting NeanderThin

About five years ago I read an interesting book on what was basically a modern caveman diet. When I finished I came to the conclusion the diet was way too difficult to follow in the modern world. Recently I started reading Art De Vany’s site and his Evolutionary Fitness posts, so I thought [...]

Shivering My Way To Leanness

Went to the gym this morning at 7:45 AM in my tank top and shorts. It was a bit brisk, but not cold. At least that is what I thought. When I got home I checked the weather and it read 41 degrees (5 C). I guess I’ve acclimatized to the [...]

MAScene 2.0 - The Marilyn Manson Workout Mix

Way back on October 15th 2003, I created a mix of the best Marilyn Manson songs to lift weights to.
It’s a 64 minute screaming adrenaline rush guaranteed to increase your workout intensity. I’ve pulled tracks from 5 different CDs (not the live one). My neighbors are going to love me.
Using the MixWit site [...]

Tales From the Glitter Gym - The Bodyfat Test

Even though I no longer workout at a Glitter Gym, sometimes elements of glitter rear their head. On a recent trip to the gym I was doing sit-ups when I overheard an older couple arguing. The woman was reading a flier posted on the wall. Our gym is sponsoring a body-fat test [...]

Calculate Your Grecian Ideal

A few days ago I was researching some fitness topic when I found the Grecian Ideal Body Measurement Calculator. This tool generates ideal body measurements if the ideal body is the one used in classic Greek sculptures. What I like about this tool is that it generates its calculations based solely off of [...]

The Runner 1989-1995

Back in 2002, I assembled all the photos and stats from my running days.
Living out in the country I would often run around our 3 mile block. Sometimes I’d run it 2 or 3 times in a single day. However, I wasn’t part of a high school cross country or track team, because I was [...]
