As I got older and developed more responsibilities as a man, my inclination … Read more

Sometimes I’ll get on a huge kick and get in incredible shape… and I usually maintain this level of fitness for a few months before something happens and I fall off. I mean REALLY fall off. But what’s interesting … Read more
