By: Veljko Petranovic
Last week I was at the gym, getting used to the now world famous “300 workout”. It’s, for a lack of a better word, brutal. Try it sometimes. I was cowering in a corner after a 20-rep set of squats, holding back from puking, and then I noticed the two newcomers. Both were [...]...

In my gym, everybody seems to be on something. I’ve recently talked to an Egyptian fellow, a mass monster by anyone’s standards, and he swears that his immense bulk is the result of heavy training and branch-chained amino acids. He’s an arm-wrestling competitor and looks like he could lift a house. This other guy, [...]...

of cancer.
