Website limitations and where do we go from here

Its only been three or four months since we launched this site and I wanted to take a minute, draw a breath and let you in on where Lee and I want to get to in the foreseeable future. I wanted to let you in on some of my own limitations. On the plus side weve successfully erected a fitness monster, a Frankenstein-like, sprawling, effusive website that covers more weird and offbeat fitness aspects than you can shake the proverbial stick ata ton of solid information immediately applicable for use by normal folks. There are plenty of magazines and websites for and about the athletic elite and the more advanced fitness trainees, those passed beginner-dom. I see myself as a sort of fitness Prometheus who steals fire from the athletic gods and then passes it along to mortalsthe reason the champs train the way they do is there exists a broad consensus on how to trigger real (objective and tangible subjective and imagined) physical results.
The goal is lofty: total physical transformation. It can be done and has been done and continues to be done each and every day using methods and systems that have been around in one form or another since the late 1960s: lift weights to strengthen and build the external musculature, perform cardio on a consistent basis to strengthen and improve functionality of the internal plumbing, use precision nutrition to provide proper and adequate nutrients for recovery and repair but not too many calories so that the excess calories are stored as body fat.
I help you understand the three component parts of the fitness equation and then we balance them delicately. When we do, a physical synergy occurs and when it appears results exceed all rational expectations. I provide the roadmaps that will allow you to achieve and acquire all this great stuff. If you successfully implement it for say three months, youll undergo an utter and complete physical transformation. Those who belly up to the bar need lots of grit and gumption, determination and discipline make no mistake about it those who implement these procedures WILL progress the human body, when subjected to the physical stress and nutritional restrictions we self-impose, has to reconfigure itself for the better the body has no biological choice in the matter.
So the good news is weve hung up a lot of really solid website information relating to the three legs of my Fitness Triad: lifting, cardio, nutrition. On the downside Ive bitten off more than I can chew: I write for a living and typically crank out 4-5 articles for publication every month. I also write my improvised blurb every morning that runs 1,000 wordsit truly is a true stream of consciousness effort totally improvised. It is the most exciting and invigorating form of writing Ive done in my 30-years as a published writer. I love it and it challenges me: call it a total brain dump on the part of an old school Irish bastard thats been around since Moses and seen and done a lot of things. I also answer roughly 60 e-mails a day and every Tuesday answer live training questions from the readers. I try and answer as many questions in the discussion forum as I can I get to everything except the training logsI can read em but I dont have the gas to answer them. Mea Culpa.
Probably will stay this way for the foreseeable future. I love it that the crew has taken it upon themselves to coach and train one another. Kudos. We are looking to hang some new articles and pictures within the next weekso stick aroundI suspect you folks get aggravated with the perceived inattention but I am getting spread thin to the point of diffusion and dilution. I have to guard against this. In addition I train myself and have a rich home life. Lee is a master at his craft and the driving engine of this little cottage industry without him the house of cards collapse into an incoherent heap. Kudos Paperboy.
We are also developing a stable of writers that already are cranking out interesting and informative articles. Keith Wassungs stories are fabulous and watch as every article he writes surpasses its predecessorthis guy has the hardcore athletic credentials and has found his writing voice. Everything he writes deserves close scrutiny. Andrew Plunk is posting his second article with us in a week; I wanted a young writer to portray the plight of the younger trainee and Andy fits this profile to a teeplus he writes to communicate not impress. Enough for now
