Stronglifts 5x5 Day 1 Thoughts
I did my first day on Mehdi’s program on Friday after warming up my anterior deltiod pretty significantly. The lifts for the day looked like this:
Squat: 5x5 Bench Press: 5x5 Barbell Row: 5x5 Dips: 3xf
I felt pretty good despite the minimal weight I used. The new gym I’m going to is huge, almost as big as my college gym (with an indoor track, pool, basketball courts, etc) but it...

Some Next Level Ish
I’m working on my new training schedule for the next 2 months. I will be focusing largely on improving strength and conditioning and incorporating all of the following:
Strength training: I have pretty much settled on the Stronglifts 5x5 program. It’s simple, focusing mostly on the squat which is essential if you want to say, pick a man up and throw him into a cage.

RSS Repositories
The RSS aggregation trend has pretty much flooded the web. I can load feeds into tumblr, jaiku, twitter, friendfeed, facebook, etc etc. This used to be a cool untapped market but alas, now people are signing up to sites and just using them as a place to dump all of thier feeds without actually using the service as it was intended. This dilutes lifestreaming in general and makes the whole concept...
Moving up in the ranks
I’m now number 5 when googling “Kyle Cooper.”
My next goal is to get this site to be the number one result for the query “Kyle Cooper’s blog.”
How was I able to compete with well known graphic designer Kyle Cooper and the 1000 other Kyle Cooper’s in the world? For starters, I dropped my old handle and started using my real name as my screen name. ClaimID...

A Newsweek article about the Internet published in 1995. Money quote:
“We’re promised instant catalog shopping—just point and click for great deals. We’ll order airline tickets over the network, make restaurant reservations and negotiate sales contracts. Stores will become obselete. So how come my local mall does more business in an afternoon than the entire Internet...

I think I can punch again
I tore my left anterior deltoid last week weight training. It’s basically the muscle that connects the arm to the shoulder. So for the past week I have been unable to throw my left jab.
Keep in mind, I am left handed and although I typically use an orthodox stance, my left jab is essentially the cornerstone of my stand up game. I am considered primarily a kicker but I use my jab to set up...

I was only following a handful of people but the NYC meetups got me thinking that an ATL meetup would be cool so I went to the Tumblr directory map here and looked for people in the A. I ended up not finding anyone, but went on to follow about 15 people from various lo-cals. Here are a couple things that helped me decide to follow people:
