The weight room at my Y is a little narrow. Other than that it's fine.

I'm fifty, which means that I stopped giving a crap about pop music, oh, around the death of John Bonham (and Lennon), 1980. Pretty much everything that followed the second generation of rock (Beatles, Stones) is just a footnote. Which is why kids still say to me, "What were the SIXTIES like?" Well,...

I see no problem in writing "secrets" on paper and NOT SHOWING ANYONE. If the wikileaks dude could download this information, that probably means that anyone could.

The best tea I ever had is PG Tips. Over and out.

Good thing I found out about it (in Keith Richards' autobiography), now that I've sworn off coffee for good.

I can't remember that far back.

At age 50, the gym is the only place in the world where I feel calm. Lifting is life; the rest is just recuperation! So what do I do when I'm not lifting weights? I think about lifting weights. I mean, do I look like a person who wastes time worrying about politics? Good. I didn't think so. I'm tryi...

It took me a year to find my dead-lifting form, so don't sweat it if you don't find your form overnight.

For warming up shoulders for my military-press workout, I do around 6 sets of 5 reps with 135 lbs. Then I add two 10-lb. plates and work from there.

I saw a guy on line at Shake Shack who was obviously on roids. He looked like the Thing from the Fantasic Four, except he wasn't orange.

I came up in the '60s, and the big myth then was weight-lifting would make you "muscle bound." Don't lift weights if you play baseball; you'll get muscle bound and you won't be able to swing the bat. Re st3r0!ds: if they are not good for you, why do them. Did Louis Cyr have st3r0!ds? The same can be...

Got my first dumbbell/barbell set (Weider, Union City, N.J.) in 1968, when I was eight. Enough preamble: here goes. Lift weights for yourself. There's been only one thing that never let me down in my life: weight lifting. Respect the weights, and be kind to your joints and muscles. Never underestima...

I'm from Sopranos Land.

Avoid coffee. Works for me.

Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer.

I believe that people should be allowed to carry phasers set on "stun." Or any kind of weapon which will immobilize the attacker. (I remember years ago, a Chinese boy was trick-or-treating in America and was shot dead because he entered the person's house. What a waste.) If a "concealed weapon" fall...
