As part of a 10-year long collaborative effort by all of the local chiropractors, Dr. Ketcham contributed articles once or twice a year to The Meadville Tribune's monthly HealthBeat column. Then, following the submission of his article, simply titled, "Success," he was invited to pen a column of his own, in the forthcoming "Active for Life" quarterly supplement to The Meadville Tribune, and given free reign to philosophize. Those articles, which ran from 2009 until 2013, supplemented by a few select, newer thoughts, form the basis of this work.

When I began my journey 42 years ago, there was no internet. Everything I learned about bodybuilding and weight training came from reading muscle magazines and any books I could lay my hands on, personal experimentation and listening to the experiences of others. Much of what I read and listened to was based more upon myths and folklore than actual reality. With the advent of the internet and literally unlimited amounts of information at our fingertips, sadly, very little has changed. The more things change, the more they stay the same actually. This is not your basic "how to" guide to exercising. The Reach for the Ring assumes a fundamental understanding of weight training, bodybuilding, etc. I will not be covering basic terminology like sets and reps nor will I be covering most exercises and their proper performance. There are a plethora of books and internet websites that already cover those topics in far greater detail and much more eloquently than I could ever hope to. What The Reach for the Ring has to offer that the others do not is my 42 years of experience in the realms of bodybuilding and weight training, the nuances and tidbits that can take your training to the next level, along with numerous stories and anecdotes that I have accumulated over the years that can make your training more meaningful and productive. Packed with routines and diets from my competitive career through to today, The Reach for the Ring is a treasure trove of useful information.
