SALUTATIONS

Salutations,
This will be my first posting for my new web site. After 220-plus weekly and biweekly get-togethers at the Washington Post, it’s time to move on. I am fortunate in that Lee Nazal in Atlanta contacted me and with a Herculean effort has gotten together the www.MartyGallagher.com website.
I hope that my Post audience and I can continue where we left off without skipping a beat. We are scrambling mightily to get this fitness monstrosity up and running. One idea is to continue my regular question and answer format at the regular time, Tuesday 12-noon EST. I will answer fitness-related questions for one hour, same as it ever was, to quote the Talking Heads, only now it will be done under the auspices of martygallagher.comsame Q&A format, same time, different place.
We have the architectural framework in place for a radically expanded website and are filling it as we speak with content and photos. We are launching piecemeal as Lee and I deemed it important to get the site off the ground in bare-bones form and flush it out as we get a little further downstream.
The idea for the new site is to post and rotate articles on a biweekly basis in each of the three legs of the Fitness Triad: progressive resistance training, cardio and nutrition. In addition we’ll post additional articles on the psychological aspects of fitness, personality profiles, strength training and all topics related to the art and science of physical renovation. I am also looking forward to posting a daily stream of consciousness’ blurb.
Basically, each day I will ruminate on whatever subject tickles my fancy. It could be fitness-related; it could be on fitness tools, music, TV, literature, food prepwho knows? Perhaps a recounting of an escapade or two might be in order. I have an unending stream of strange and weird elite athletes that trek to the Mountain Compound on a regular basis and the conversations and training usually are worth retelling.
My goal is to make my new site user friendly for the normal person; the athletic elite have plenty of publications already aimed at them just go to the newsstand and look at any of the dozens of muscle-freak magazines. As a Purposefully Primitive Prometheus, my mission is to expropriate methods used by the athletic elite and make these fantastically effective training and eating tactics accessible and applicable for regular people.
I’ll interpret and dilute the frantic and fanatic intensity used by the elite and provide a user-friendly version more appropriate for use by normal folks intent on physical transformation. The new web site will give me a free hand and full creative reign. (a scary thought. As one old friend related) This approach allows me to dramatically expand the old Washington Post format. I intend to cast a larger net and cast it furtherGive us a little time to flush out the content and get our sea legs. By all means please check us out and please pass the word.
