(Note: This was not the scheduled blog today )
I currently at least five different emails. I want to break them down for you so that you can understand me on a level you may not want to because I am a dork.
Email #1-My First REAL email. I call it my first real email because after 3 other failed emails I finally understood what spam was, how not to get it to come to my email, and how to use email wisely. Still use it once in a while.
Email #2-My “personal stuff” only email. My other email was becoming more business like, shipping stuff, ebay, you know, technical email. So I decided to have a personal email, for important things like, you know, myspace.
Email #3-My spam email. This was email that I used specifically for things that I wanted to get in email but I didn’t want to have to look at all the time. I deemed it my newsletter/information email. Kind of like pre-RSS feed. I still use it to this day for most newsletters.

Email #4 and #5 are “business” emails that have basically replaced my other emails. While I still use my other emails, these are my primary emails. I hold these emails in high regard. I keep them to clients and customer service information. I also have some personal email come through there so I can get to it fast, faster than my others.
You might be asking at this point, “What the hell are you talking about?”
Well I am going to be honest and say that even guys I like and respect I put in the spam email. There are only a small amount of people that I sign up to their newsletters or emails and have them sent to my main mailing address. It isn’t personal, it is just I get a LOT of email everyday and sometimes I just can’t handle more, even of things I want.
Well I took this weekend to play catch up on some newsletters and lucky for me the first one was Mike Robertson’s newsletter. Understand by the way this isn’t selling you anything, there is no affiliate link coming. I don’t even have one for Mike because it is “Shopping Cart” and I am too lazy to set it up. This isn’t really about fat loss either, although it IS body composition/posture/rehab and that is really important. No basically this is just giving props to a guy who practically wrote and gave away an entire manual of such valuable, free, and solid information to his newsletter list that it has inspired me to make him a exception to my rule.
I have no idea if this is for his list only, one time only thing, or what. I have no idea if this is available elsewhere, if he is linking to it or not. Maybe if you sign up and bug him, he will give it to you if you missed it, I don’t know. All I know is that a comprehensive and well written manual on SMR popped up in my inbox, for free, and my first thought was “I am a jackass, this guy is too good to be in your “spam” email section.”
Well Mike Robertson, you have been moved to better quarters my man. Great manual.
If looking to sign up for his newsletter you can go to his blog and check it out on the right hand side.

Wow. Thanks for the heads up on that. My email system had broken down and Mike’s newsletters were being moved to a folder and marked as HAVING BEEN READ, so I never saw them! Fixed now. I better go check the rest of my folders for the good stuff…
Happy Labor Day, Leigh.
Thanks for the heads up on this! I signed up and love the site! The video clips are really neat too! I will try to bug him to get me this great manual
!
PS – Leigh, what do you think of todays article by Rachel C. on figureathlete?
I stay confused about this because those on the BR forum say that this anti SS cardio is wrong. What is the truth? Just wanted your take on this b/c it seems so debated right now. (sorry for the semi hijack, but really wanted your opinion!)
I agree Leigh … Mike is awesome … not as awesome as you, but close!! ;o)
Roland-Awesome, so glad you ended up getting it. Hope you Labor Day was good.
Julie-You are too too kind.
Missy-I am going to tackle this soon. In short, nothing is that cut and dry and it is just one article.
Thanks Leigh!
I had questions also about Rachel Cosgrove article, especially where she said endurance athletes burn fat for fuel (I get that part) and therefore more apt to store fat as fuel. I’ve never heard that explanation before. Is that true the body becoming more efficient at storing fat?
In short, again, it isn’t that simple.
