Greetings,
Another year is upon us and like everyone else we are planning projects and setting goals for 2012.  I'm currently working on getting the Winter issue of Building the Body quarterly completed and will post when it's ready in a few weeks.  Took some time off from training by going back to the Masters Pro World in Miami Beach Dec 10th, have been back to regular workouts for a few weeks.  Still training three times a week and plan to step it up by the end of January.  Been busy coming out with Kindle edition of Building the Body and currently there are 16 back issues available from Amazon for Kindle readers.  Plan to get a few more years on there by the time Arnold Expo rolls around the first week in March.
All the best,

Frank and Christine
