Well actually, me and a shit load of other trainers have always preached the following: if you want to lean out, you will lean out in a way that your body WANTS to lean out… and you can’t do a damned thing about it. This means that if the umbilical region (belly) is the 1st choice for fat storage for YOUR body, then that’s where it will go. Then it will go on to the next site and the next si... more.

First of all… the whole term “lose weight” is false. Even when people really really mean it, no one actually wants to lose “weight”. They want to lose the fat. Unattractive, jiggly, mushy, gross fat. Muscle is advantageous in almost every way, which is why you never hear most (intelligent) people say “i want to lose quality mass”. Now that we’ve made that distinction very clear,... more.

So if you recall, last week I wrote and article which mentioned 5 solid reasons why you need amazing abs. I got a pretty good email response from that one. A few guys were trying to be sneaky little bastards and asking for the promised ab routine before the masses could lay their eyes on it. Pfft… nice try doods. I don’t break that easy. But fear not, because today the wait is over. I’ll ... more.

Today I have a guest post from a guy who is known as The Infopreneur. A pretty smart brand name if I should say so myself, but what’s NOT known is that because of his intensity, he could be my better cousin. James Richmond is a 28 year old family man from the UK and has served 10 years in the military as a physical training instructor. This guy works his ass off, is totally real and has got an a... more.

Before we start, I am going to come right out and say something shocking… (at least to those of you that are reading my shit for the first time) I HATE DOING ABS! That’s right, out of every muscle group on my body, the one I hate doing the most are abs, yet oddly enough my 6 (almost 8 now) pack is probably the best feature on my frame. Isn’t that a mind fuck? The thing is, because I hate ... more.

If you’re somewhat normal, then you are like the millions of North Americans that hold off their Christmas shopping till the very last minute. Sometimes your procrastinating habit gets you into trouble and now you have nothing to get for your spouse or loved one… but then at other times you get ridiculously lucky and end up with a bangin’ deal which you can feel all warm and fuzzy about. Jus... more.

Whether you’re an avid gym rat or just like to workout at home, there will come a time where something really weird happens: you’ll start to discover little tricks that take you above and beyond what you were normally capable of… or should I say, what  you THOUGHT you were capable of. Most of the time, I found that these tricks were psychological and their effectiveness is profound. It’s ... more.

Today we are going to cover an important topic: rest days and what to do on em. But instead of me babbling about it, my buddy Rafi Bar-Lev wrote an awesome little guest post for me. He was a former combat medic in the Israeli army and founder of the community fitness site, Passionate Fitness so make sure you check him out. Alright, on with the post... Most of us know the drill when it comes to ... more.

Man, if there is one topic that is HOT as hell right now it’s gotta be Twilight New Moon, and frankly the whole craze is getting a little annoying. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a HUGE vampire fan but the Twilight vampires are LAME. Sparkling in the sun? Dumb little love stories? No thanks… I prefer my vicious vampires that have an attitude and who burn to a nice crisp in the presence of UV rays... more.

The shoulder is an interesting joint. It’s construction allows your arm to have some serious ROM (range of motion) letting you to do some incredible shit. But then on the other hand, that also happens to be it’s downfall since biomechanically it’s a very vulnerable joint… it’s only surrounded by muscle at the top, under the armpit area there is nothing, which is why it’s so easy to inj... more.
