In the days of log drives on the rivers of New England, whenever a riverman was killed on the drive, his comrades hung his spiked boots on a tree to mark the spot. As a youth, Robert Pike spotted such a pair of boots, and from that moment was born his lifelong fascination with the colorful history of the New England logging industry. The dozens of tales he collected are narrated here by "Old Vern," a cantankerous backwoods character. Here are legends and wild anecdotes of the loggers and rivermen who worked in the woods and on the Connecticut and Androscoggin Rivers, plying their romantic, dangerous trade in the early part of this century. Others tell of "quaint characters" and "unusual specimens of God's carelessness"--people like Ginseng Willard, who slept in a coffin for two years just to get used to it, or Ervin Palmer, a hermit who dreamed of making a violin that would duplicate the sounds of the natural world. Although Pike was a respected scholar and historian and the author of many books, Spiked Boots is the one he wanted to be remembered by. We are proud to restore to print this important piece of New England folk history. Illustrated with never-before-published photographs from the author's private collection, and a new foreword by Helen-Chantal Pike, who grew up hearing her father's tales as bedtime stories.

Initially, Robert Sikes embraced "bro dieting" in order to win bodybuilding shows. He soon found out, however, that the side effects were disastrous.Despite athletic successes, Sikes' high-carb, low-nutrient crash dieting led to imbalanced hormones, a lowered sex drive, diminished strength and an unhealthy relationship with food. Struggling with disordered eating, Sikes could see no way out of his self-created hell-until, that is, he found the ketogenic diet.After seeing drastic improvements in his gym performance, relationships and overall health, Sikes pioneered a new method of natural bodybuilding that leveraged a ketogenic protocol with high dietary fats and nutrient-dense foods.The wisdom gleaned from his rigorous self-experimentation is compiled in Ketogenic Bodybuilding, a comprehensive guide to achieving show-level conditioning by following a healthy, sustainable ketogenic plan.In Ketogenic Bodybuilding, readers will learn: The seven phases necessary for successful contest prep and reverse dietingThe mindset and manipulations required for success in each phaseNutritional meals with enough "caloric runway" to properly fuel the training demands How strategic ketogenic refeeds can control metabolism and help push through plateausThe three levers to manipulate for optimal cardio (and progressive overload training)Why safe "reverse dieting" after a show is as important as the prep itselfThe ins and outs of posing, tanning, exercise, supplements and moreIn Ketogenic Bodybuilding, Sikes has produced a guide that proves natural ketogenic bodybuilding isn't simply competitive; when used correctly, it is positively savage.
