  • Can "Combat Conditioning" Improve Your Appearance?
    Being someone who's twice gone through what's known as the most arduous military training in the world, I'm often asked if "combat conditioning" workouts are effective for physique enhancement. Should you buy that "Navy SEAL Workout" book? My opinion might surprise you.
  • Personal Fitness Trainer: Tips for hiring a good one
    Personal fitness trainers are a dime-a-dozen where I live in Southern California. Unfortunately, many of them become nothing more than professional repetition counters once you hire them. Here's some unique advice to follow if you want to hire one who will actually help you improve your body.
  • Big Pecs: How to Build Chest Muscle
    Many bodybuilders struggle tediously to build bigger pectorals by performing countless sets of bench pressing exercises. They'd do themselves a favor resulting in better chest growth by heeding the advice in the content of this article.
  • Misleading Mass Building methods of Body Building
    When I was young, I took too many claims made by bodybuilding marketers at face value. I lost thousands of dollars and countless hours of time following lousy advice on how to 'get big naturally'. If you focus on what counts the most in natural bodybuilding, you'll avoid losing the time and money I lost chasing muscle growth in my youth.
  • Yes… You can Build Muscle/Lose Fat at the Same Time
    Muscle building enthusiasts are repeatedly told that they can't build muscle and lose body fat simultaneously. The experts say they need to stuff down excess calories and "bulk up" in order to build the muscle - then go through a calorie-cutting phase to lose the fat. But I say this erroneous notion is just another indication of the prevalence of haphazard training methods.

  • “Functional Strength”: a matter for Bodybuilding
    “Functional strength”: There are those words again. They rank right up there with “quality muscle” when it comes to people in the fitness industry uttering meaningless jargon that sounds profound on the surface. Of what part of my weight lifting-built strength isn’t functional? At the risk of sounding like a macho jerk; if I wanted to, I could probably slam my fist through the wall that’s behind my computer monitor. That’s pretty functional.
  • Steroids: Distorting the worlds of Muscle and Fitness
    Nothing has been more distortive to muscle building information than the low profile prevalence of steroid use. What else can explain the vast amount of lousy and even useless training techniques for natural trainers that have become the prevailing wisdom in the bodybuilding industry? As one observes some of that prevailing wisdom closely, one can notice that truly wise advice is scarce where drugs have altered the picture.
  • Body Shaping: How to build a Nice Butt
    Many women (and men too) attempt to use bodybuilding to build nicer, more muscular gluteus muscles. You can often find them at the gym on a butt-blasting machine or doing lunges clear across the gym floor. However, there are two key exercises that will more likely get them what they're seeking. Here they are.
  • Mass building – Increase Your Arm Size with this Simple Technique

    Getting that much coveted "V-shaped" body can be difficult for those of us who have naturally thick waists and not-so-naturally-wide shoulder clavicles. These upper body-widening tips will make the quest a lot easier.
  • Natural Testosterone: The Biggest “Secret” to Keeping it Up
    Most men don't need to be convinced that having higher testosterone levels is desirable. Healthy levels of testosterone are essential for adequate energy, libido, and overall well-being. For this reason, we're treated to one article after another telling us to cut down on alcohol, swallow fish oil, and eat broccoli until we start turning green. This article talks about something even more important for raising testosterone levels.
  • Muscle Building – How to Build a “Sweeping Shape” to Your Legs
    For many slender bodybuilders who want to build muscular weight, building the thigh muscles is particularly challenging. This article presents a sequence of exercises that can be of tremendous help in creating bigger, more shapely, "sweeping" upper leg muscles.
  • Create Unstoppable Fitness Workout Motivation
    Motivation to begin a fitness/body improvement workout program can be a difficult thing to muster. Yet it's only difficult if one doesn't know the biggest secret to creating motivation. This article shares that secret in just a few short paragraphs.
  • Lose Body Fat – “Yo-Yo Dieting” Might Have Nothing to do with Your Will-Power
    Many individuals who get caught in a pattern of "yo-yo dieting" mistakenly conclude that their tendency to do this is a sign of weak will-power. However, this is often not the case. Human motivation has perplexing catalysts - not the least of which being the one determining motivational direction. And it's too much from the wrong direction that can supersede will-power nearly every time.

  • Bodybuilding Insight: When Building Muscles – Your Body doesn’t know what day it is
    We’re told over and over that in order to be successful at something, we need to be consistent. But consistency not tempered with intelligence is as bad as inconsistency when we are being intelligent. With bodybuilding workouts, here’s the caveat: Be consistent with your workouts when you’ve found a muscle breakdown/recuperation schedule that’s effective. If the one you’re using for any of your muscles is ineffective; STOP being consistent.
