Are you wasting your time in the gym? If you are not using proper pre and post workout nutrition, you are likely sacrificing much of your potential gains resulting from hard lifting. So assuming that you do not want to waste time in the gym, you should make proper workout nutrition a priority. Basically, if you want to add pounds of lean muscle to your frame in record time, you better listen up!
Do you want to lose fat fast and show off your inner six-pack (of course you do!)? Have you ever tried a traditional low-fat diet with limited success? Well, my friend, let me introduce you to the so called Anabolic Diet. This diet has been a well-kept secret of the fitness and bodybuilding industries and has had very little following outside of these circles. While you may never have heard of the anabolic diet, it is actually the favorite diet of many professional bodybuilders looking to cut down to insanely-low levels of body fat. Granted, you probably don’t want to look like a professional bodybuilder, but they are the foremost experts on losing body fat fast, so LISTEN UP!
Almost universally, the first exercise that everyone does when they walk into the gym is the barbell bench press. While the bench press may be the poster boy of weight training, the deadlift helps to strengthen the entire body and causes a significant increase in functional strength. Yes the bench press may look good, but how often do you think our ancient ancestors had to press a weight off their chest while lying down? Now think of how frequently you need to lift something up from the ground. This foundational movement that engages our legs, back, and even our arms and abdominals remains present in our lives today is the basis for the barbell deadlift. Therefore, if you at all want to build a strong back, sculpt powerful legs, or develop a six-pack, listen up!
Because you are reading this article, I can tell that you are very likely interested in the concept of using anabolic steroids. While I can’t tell you what to do, here is my advice: don’t. Potential side effects such as gynecomastia and testicular atrophy outweigh the benefits, except for professional athletes, of course. But are there safer alternatives to anabolic steroids? One promising supplement for building muscle is creatine, a nitrogenousorganic acid that occurs naturally in skeletal muscle. In this article, I will explore the history and science of creatine supplementation, the possible mass and strength gains, as well as any potential side effects.

Dietary fat is not the enemy. Despite this, dietary fat has been under attack from various organizations such as the USDA (US Department of Agriculture) and the ADA (American Diabetes Association). These influential organizations instead promote a diet low in fat and high in carbohydrates. So while these low-fat diets are fairly healthy, they do not produce optimum weight loss and help strengthen the false belief that ingested dietary fat directly becomes body fat. In this article, I hope to dispel this myth while showing the benefits and necessity of having some dietary fat.
Perhaps one of the more impressive examples of female fitness is the story of Jessica Biel. While she was never truely out of shape, she needed to really tone her body while gaining muscle for her role in Blade Trinity. By the end of her training, she looked simply amazing. Tone arms, slim thighs, you name it. Recently, she has consistantly been ranked one of the most beautiful women by many magazines, and its no wonder why with a body like hers. While her results are certainly not easy to achieve, her workout and diet plans have been released so you too can work out just like Jessica Biel to hopefully get an equally sexy body.
Introduced in 1992, the USDA food pyramid gave Americans a general guide to how they should eat. Growing up in the United States, I personally was blasted several times with this so called “food pyramid.” We were told that a healthy diet should include, 6-11 servings of grains per day, and only 2-3 servings of meats, nuts, or beans. So, great, now that all americans know how they should eat, we should become a more healthy country as a whole. We all know how that’s turned out. In this article, I hope to reveal the conspiracy of the food pyramid, as well as explain (and prove with data) why it is an ineffective diet plan. In addition, I will suggest a much more effective diet that actually makes sense.
Besides perhaps 300, Blade Trinity stars one of the most ripped main casts ever assembled, featuring Wesley Snipes, Ryan Reynolds, and Jessica Biel. For this film, Jessica Biel lowered her body fat down to about 8% and Reynolds was able to lower his to an astonishing 3.8%! In this great video, the actors and their trainers discuss some of their techniques they used to attain this amazing results in a relatively short about of time.
By the way, if you haven’t yet read my seperate article on the in depth training and diet program of Ryan Reynolds, I encourage you to read it. I also plan to write a similar article about the training of Jessica Biel, perhaps sometime in the next week.

For many of us, gaining muscle mass can be a serious struggle. In spite of hard-work, dedication, and a decent workout routine, skinny guys can have a lot of problems in actually seeing any results. While weight loss has been emphasized recently, being extremely skinny can actually be just as embarrassing as being overweight. In Scrawny to Brawny
But with this in mind, I am going to review this book from the perspective of an ectomorph who is attempting to increase their lean muscle mass while still keeping their body fat percentage at a fairly reasonable amount.
