I finally got back to the states after a delay in Sydney (due to the whole airport having a power outage), arriving too late for the connecting flight innLAX, and not receiving all of my checked bags. If you ever travel to the other side of the world, I suggest staying at least 10 days. I had just gotten adapted to the time change and then left, so I’m gonna be screwed. If you are planning a California vacation, you may want to stay at Carmel by the Sea hotels.
I have quite a bit of video from this trip and will trickle the videos out as I edit them (there’s one clip of me feeding/harassing wallabies that is ten minutes long all by itself). I still have some other vids from the Monterey trip to put up as well. If you don’t regularly follow the site and don’t care about my sweet vids, then you can a) bugger off or b) look forward to some training posts on topics like hip IR stretching, progressing the press, training fundamentals, how to ‘get women involved in lifting’, what to train when you’re “in doubt” or time cramped, a podcast interview with Brent, and more. If you have a particular topic you’d like my analysis or opinion on, then indicate it in the comments.
I’ll also be aiming to create a FAQ and change the theme of the site soon, so if you see something weird going on just ignore it unless it persists for several days (you can probably take penicillin for it if it does).
I’ll also be working on part II of the Texas Method e-book as well as shifting into some other writing projects.
Brian was doing some work on the site and we had some accidental video embed issues, so here are the three videos that were put up last week.

That’s what’s going on.
Is that dynamic warm-up vid still in the works, Justin?
Balls, I forgot about this video; I could have easily made it in Australia. I added it to my list.

I bought Part 1 of the TM book and have been breathlessly waiting for Part 2. Gasp.
Question: did the price include both parts? It didn’t explicitly say.
In a few of your latter posts you said you eat pretty clean. Any chance you could talk a bit more about your personal diet, as well as give your take on different types of diets (eg low carb, high carb, carb manipulation [cycling], etc.)? It would be great to know your perspective on the topic; more specifically, how macros affect muscle growth/strength gain.
For the record, I’ve read the Food FAQ.
Thanks, Justin.
Sure, I can do this.

Next time you come to Australia Justin you gotta hit up Melbourne! Sydney is ok but Melbourne is where the real action is at…
I had some jolly good action, but I’ve been speaking with someone about coming back and including Melbourne in the trip.

I like coolhandluke’s suggestion as well, more diet info is always appreciated.
Roger that.

awesome stuff in the pipeline! progressing the press please :)
