Back in the day of the Iron Game Greats, there wasn’t any Miracle Grow Muscle Supplements.
No cell voltmeters. No blubber burners. No energy boosters. No creatine. No recovery drinks. No meal replacements
No cross filtered, ion exchanged, nuclear powered protein powders, bars, drinks, jujubes, or any other crazy concoction of the month. They didn’t even have [...]

In part 2 I left you wondering what one movement could replace a routine filled with a dozen exercises.
So what’s the exercise?
Squats.
But most women won’t do them because they’re thought of as a ‘guy’s’ exercise. As for the ones who do use them, many don’t train them anywhere near as hard as they should. The [...]

You’ve heard of me refer to muscle magazines as ‘Muscle Comics.’
I picked this up from Brooks Kubik who has a few opinions of his own on this subject. You should check him out over at http://www.BrooksKubik.com Great guy with fantastic information.
The reason I call them ‘Comics,’ is because of the BS found within their pages. [...]

In Part 1 I left you with some food for though. This time I’m going to jump right into the myth busting.

Without wasting any time, we’re gong to jump right in from where we left off in Part 1…
Without a doubt, one of the best ways to increase you chances of success, and speed it up at the same time, is to follow the lead of others.
Just to be clear, I’m not telling you to become [...]

Look at your average muscle comic cover. What do you see?
It’s either fast muscle gains, or faster fat loss. And it seems like each new issue has bigger and bolder claims than the one before it.
This isn’t limited to health and fitness either.
As a species, we’re addicted to speed. And why not? Reaching goals in [...]

It’s summertime. It’s hot, and you’re probably sweating buckets when training.
Add on top of that my push to get some outdoors training, and dehydration is a very real possibility.
Besides the negative effects on your health, dehydration will wreck havoc with your training.
Your athletic performance suffers dramatically with a mere 2 to 4% drop in your [...]

You’ve probably noticed me talking a lot about training outside lately.
Since it is summer, and since most are deficient in vitamin D, we should be getting more training time under the big blue.
