A lot of things have been going on lately! Here's a recap:

• There's a new user forum. Check it out. If you register and make a post (it can be "Hi"), I'll make you a  Platinum member for free (normally it costs $$$).
• I wrote a book on building a big - no make that – BIG bench press from a pro powerlifter. You can take a look at it here.
• Muscle-Build.com now has a Facebook fan page (so does Bench Press Blueprint). "Fan" it and get all the latest updates right in FB.
• I've built several more websites. More on this later. They're all in the fitness/bodybuilding niche.
• I'm working (still!) on a 16-week comprehensive muscle-building course. You'll be the first to know when it's ready.
• I've got 2 reviews in the hopper — by this I mean I have some reading and then thinking and then writing to do. But I've got the review copies on hand.
• I'm getting a unique training tool that I'll review here too. It will solve one of key issues that we all face, especially those of us who LIFT THINGS for fun. It'll help you with throwing sports, too, like baseball, basketball, and football. Track and field, too. It's super cool. More to follow.
• Of course, I'm adding more content all of the time. One topic I want to tackle is how to stay fit while traveling (or on vacation, whatever the case may be).
• Other topics I want to delve into more deeply: Supplementation (I'm trying to line up some freebies), more unique training methods, and fat-burning with weight training (because I hate aerobics, cardio, running, and other junk). Yes, I know…but even though I hate them, I do them
• One last thing: I'm really leaning heavily toward going to the Arnold Expo in Ohio. Anybody else going? Should I go? Funny thing: I'm going to Ohio, from California, to see Arnold, who is the Governor of California! That cracks me up.

As "they" say, that's it in a nutshell.
