Those Final Two and a Half Minutes of Stairway to Heaven

From the Brickyard | Subject: Two minutes and thirty seconds of pure fire —— Robert Plant stops singing. You hear Jimmy Page’s guitar, John Paul Jones’ bass, and John Bonham’s drums all in sync…and you know—it’s about to go down. It’s about to get real. The first 5:30? Beautiful, haunting, setting the stage. But they’re … Read more

In Frame Vol. 10: The Lone Path

In Frame Vol. 10: The Lone Path

The sand shifts underfoot with every step. The trail stretches forward—straight, narrow, and quiet. No crowd. No noise. Just the prints you leave behind. That’s the Musclebuilder way. Most won’t walk this road. It’s too empty, too lonely, too demanding. They’ll look for shortcuts, detours, or companions to carry them. But the Lone Path doesn’t … Read more

Never Forget: September 11th, 2001

We remember. It was more than an attack on buildings, more than an attack on a country. It was an attack on humanity itself. Thousands gone. Millions scarred. A wound felt by all. And yet—out of the smoke, out of the rubble, rose courage. First responders—real-life superheroes—charging into the carnage. Strangers helping strangers. A nation … Read more

In Frame Vol. 9: Presence and Progress

In Frame Vol. 9: Presence and Progress

I stood on the red rock—solid, immovable, carved by time. It wasn’t going anywhere. Neither was I, not in that moment. Behind it, Pike’s Peak towered above everything. Snow capped, unreachable in an instant, but calling me all the same. That’s the Musclebuilder paradox. Root yourself in the now. Presence. Discipline. Daily reps. Bricks stacked … Read more
