He's also a former competitive bodybuilder (light-heavyweight), been a freelance writer for most top bodybuilding / fitness mags, and is a (real) researcher and lecturer. In bodybuilding, he has snagged a runner-up placing at the Mountaineer Cup (a Midwest event) and was a finalist in the NPC Mr. Midwest USA (twice), plus the NPC Upper Midwest. Dr. L is sort of an "anti-guru" and consumer advocate and has written much for T-Muscle.com. That's him on the left in "warrior nerd" mode with long time friend, Fortress, competing in 2003, and lecturing at a hospital in 2009.

Fortress is a former competitive bodybuilder AND powerlifter (still competing), as well as a journalist and former editor at some of the most influential publications in the business. His credits include editorial roles at mags like Muscle Mag International, Peak Training Journal, and others, as well as editorial or writer roles a number of Internet publications from Virtual Muscle to T-Muscle.com.
