HELLO AUGUST - Reposted from Patreon

Well, the cliches are true. Time really does fly faster and faster as we get older.

July has been an absolute whirlwind of activity. Both family and professionally. Getting videos up on my YouTube Channel, managing Livestream duties, 7 performances at the Winnipeg FRINGE Festival, trying to add more Tiers and Patrons to this community, wrestling out of town, family BBQs, housework. so much fence painting, managing lightning storms and basement flooding and just generally trying to be a good dad.

It's a lot.

But, here we are, staring the back half of summer in the eye and wondering what's happening next.

for starters, I've seen some real interest in my "War on Dad Bod" highlight reels so that's encouraging. My first "Behind the pay wall video" of an unedited wrestling promo has drawn some interest as well, so that cool. Hopefully I can get more eyeballs and interest in those things as we go along.

What's happening now?

Today I'm having a chat with creator, podcaster, host, comedian, pit boss, wrestling personality and all around good man KEN NAPZOK over on OUTLAW RADIO. This will remain a free show on YouTube primarily (will be re broadcast on other platforms at some point i figure) but I do hope you check it out.

FROM THE VAULT every Monday. OUTLAW RADIO every Wednesday. WAR ON DAD BOD/BLOG at least bi-weekly. And more Pro Wrestling content as we head into the end of the line.

Aug 28th, BPW WE'RE STILL STANDING 2 - The Best God-Damned Heavyweight in Canada will remain dominant in the main event, go to www.blazeprowrestling.com for your tickets and follow the livestream too.

Thank you for being here. Please tell your friends. Please tell me



if there's other content you'd like to see.

Oh, and I have a new book plan I need to get started on. Details to come. Aside from Book 4 of OVERDRIVE. That's still in the works ... ish.

FROM THE VAULT today is a Tag Match from 2000 featuring a very skinny ME and The Big O vs Donny DiCaprio and Will Damon. All of us were energetic young men busting our humps to make a crowd react. Not that anyone can hear them sadly. Stupid VHS Audio transfer issues Shakes fist - anyways, its a Fun, Please LIKE and Share it.

OUTLAW RADIO Is Pre-Recorded this week and is a Preview of THIS Fridays BPW ANARCHY IN APRIL Event. Which in retrospect might be a 1 of 2, especially since it was just WrestleMania weekend. If I was smart I'd get on that bandwagon and do a LIVE about that, or even factor in the recent AEW activity featuring MJF, Darby Allin and title switches.

Anyways, for now - here's the link.

As far as writing goes, I've been slowing chipping away at BOOK 4 of OVERDRIVE. Mostly reworking the Outline which doesn't sound like it should take too long, but everything takes longer than you think it should. Momentum is a bitch. Plus, I've been challenged with the idea of creating a feature film pitch to be shot / filmed here in Winnipeg. All of that is a LONG SHOT - but the idea is too intriguing to turn down. As such, many projects on the go with only distant options in the future.

BUT - being creative fills my soul in a way that the rest of my life professionally often hasn't. Which is why I OS greatly appreciate everyone who hangs with me here on Patreon. Please consider sharing this group out into the world. Building a community on here is huge and could help build a foundation of creativity for everyone if we do it right.

Thanks all.

BUSY WEEK (Stolen from PATREON PAGE)

 Hey all. 2 Posts this week for sure. Lots of offline stuff to do as well. Family commitments and more. BUT I want to stay on track as much as possible with updates here in the hopes of growing this community. So, thank you all for being a part of this.

FROM THE VAULT - this Mondays update was a fun match between myself and my old running buddy ROB STARDOM. Rob's done quite well for himself with his own YouTube show Vlogs and more. This match was from the year 2000 pitting 2 very young, very eager men against each other for a very tiny crowd. The audio is pooched on this one sadly, the VHS transfer failed me this time around. Still - a fun little slice of history.

OUTLAW RADIO This week was suggested to me by the even more veteran grappler Mr TOD BULLET where he suggested that I talk about what it was / is like backstage at either a WWE / AEW event. In that vein i've decided to take it a step furth and talk about how even the process of getting booked on those events has change (and NOT changed) in 30 years. Man, that should be fun. Not sure if it'll be a good "How to" for the grapplers of today, but it should be a fun discourse if nothing else !

More to come as always. Eventually I'll add more tiers to this Patreon page with some exclusive stuff. But I really do want to build a community more than anything. So if you know anyone who might be interested in joining for please consider sharing this out to them. I'd be happy to chat and hopefully be engaging.

Back To Writing News

I mean, few things are as Satisfying as UnBoxing fresh copies of my books.

Yes, this is the first book in my "Overdrive Series" and I am exceedingly proud of it. Been too long since I've had physical copies of them on hand.

So now I leave it up to YOU to take them off my hands.

At all upcoming events I will be offering signed and personalized copies for $30. Should you be unable to attend any events, leave a comment or DM me on Instagram and we'll make an arrangement to get a copy in your hands ASAP.

And if all else fails, you can order yourself a copy HERE and have me personalize it down the line. Whatever works for you.

Thanks all.

War on Dad Blog: Relocating to Here

After a week-ish of trying to keep both blogs updated I soon realized what a complete pain in the ass that is. And frankly an unnecessary one. Even though the goal was to keep this page for Creative and Wrestling related endeavors, there's no good reason to dismiss my Workout Reviews / Accountability recordings from this site.

Besides. It's good content for the algorithm. Buy my books and merch you filthy animals. Or sponsor me online to do more fitness challenges for a "man of a certain age" … being uh, Middle Aged.

So yeah, here's where I'll recap / show my workout log for recent efforts. Is it exciting? Probably only to me and a few people who wonder how I keep my body moving after 30 years of heavy impacts in and out of a 18x18 steel and plywood structure. If anyone has any questions about these, please leave'em in the comments or post'em to my socials. I'll answer anyone who's serious and tell the haters to bugger off (but like, less British-ly).

In short, I'm focusing on some higher reps, shorter rest breaks and really trying to concentrate on negative reps and stretches over the contraction. Obviously I've got a few LBs to trim from the midsection so I'm tracking the majority of my calories over a week to maintain a slight deficit and adding more lower impact cardio to my regular routine. I've been focusing on this pretty consistently for the past 3 weeks and have been pleased with early results. As always, the toughest thing is to not let my ego get in the way and insist on More Weight and fewer reps. I've had that kinda fun, but it's generally not productive for my body and goals at this point.

My regular split is modified after a Push / Pul l/ Legs ideology. A few years back this would've meant a 6 day turn around for me with only a pittance of a rest day. These days I am not as worried about that. If I end up only lifting 3x a week or every other day? Perfect. I'm hitting my muscles often enough to feel growth and progress while making sure I have enough time to recover - especially in a slight deficit. These days I feel that weakness and low energy in a big way so, I try my best to listen to my body and push it up to it's limits for that day, not what they used to be when I was 30 years old.

Anyways, here's my Push Day from Feb 18th at around 930PM - Shout out to Goodlife Fitness on Regent for their excellent staff and facility as usual.

Chest and Shoulders w/ Triceps
Peck Deck - "175" x 12, 12, 12, 12 (Trying for wide sweeping reps, lots of stretch)
Inc Smith Press - 205lb x 8, 8, 8, 5 (always humbling doing this 2nd, much better pump though)
DB Side Lat Raise - 30lb x 12, 12, 12, 12 (maybe add some more reps next week)
OHP Machine - "80" x 12, 90 x 12, 12 (still tough on my left shoulder joint, but glad to be doing these again)
Cable Side Lat Raise - "15" x 12, 12, 12 (terrific burnout, so humbling)
Rev Grip Tricep Extension - "50" x 20, 20, 20, 20, 20 (just pure stretch and pump)
30 Min Treadmill 3% incline, 2.6mph

Once upon a time I'd have disdained using so many machines. But these days, I find them so much more effective for my recovery and muscle development. Occasionally I may change it up and switch to a DB Press or a regular Barbell Press, but nothing feels quite the same as the ability to just push until I can't on the Smith Machine. That 4th set was a true fail, without the pins I'd have been in trouble.

Anyways, that was the lift. I don't know how regularly I'll post these but I do intend to bring them all under one blog, just for simplicity's sake. Maybe no one cares but me, but that's enough.

Reminder, Blaze Pro Wrestling's: No Regrets on Feb 28th in Winnipeg. Follow the link to get your advance tickets now. Our last show before X-Mas was completely sold out, so don't be stuck out in the cold. 

Visit my PWTees Shop for specific designs you can only find there. Also, if you want one of the special "30th ANNIVERSARY TEES" I have on order, hit the Comments or my DMs (easy now) to reserve your size. 

Don't forget about my BOOKS. I know that billionaires are ruining international relations right now, but the Amazon Author Groups do a fine job with my products. So please, order a copy. I'll be happy to sign it for you.

Okay, I'm out of words. Later.
