I used to do a standard bodybuilder workout (in fact, I have several friends who are very successful natural bodybuilders) and did a powerlifting meet a few years ago, just for fun. Two years ago I started the paleo diet - which has been great for me - and about 12 lbs of bodyweight just fell away. My strength in the gym is still holding up, though. (I can still DL 405 for reps.) Lately, I'm more interested in general fitness, and have taken up aikido (a martial art similar to judo).

On the non-weightlifting front: I like cooking, love the outdoors -- hiking, overnight camping, the whole bit. Museums, concerts, fine dining are always interesting. Not so interested in the club scene.

I've published one book (related to fitness) and I'm working another (NOT related to fitness).

Raced in the VA Tough Mudder last year, which was somewhat brutal.

Update 4/7/12: I hope this profile doesn't seem like I'm bragging (as has been suggested to me).... I'm just sharing my interests. I'm actually a very relaxed, nonjudgmental guy.

I'm not looking for a clone of myself, but someone with similar interests and relatively similar fitness level.
