Have you ever heard the saying "those that can, do and those that can't, teach"? Thanks to the internet that needs to be revised to "those that can, do, those that can't sell those that did". I don't rant often but now and again things need to be said.

Weight lifting routines are comprised of the exercises you do combined with the amount of sets and reps. But there is another component and it might just be the most important. How much time to rest between each set?

Unless you work as a life guard, you probably wear a shirt most of your day. So massive pecs and cannonball deltoids aren't visible. But your arms are. Most people don't build mass on their arms for the simplest of reasons. They are out smarting themselves.

Having visible abs is about what you eat verses what you exercise. Without doing one ab workout, visible abs are within your reach in 60 days if you are 25 pounds or 4 inches in the waist overweight. Here's how.

Summer is here and having a beach body is in high demand. If you have waited to long to get yours in shape, there is a way to rapidly increase the rate of fat loss necessary to get those abs out in public before the summer is over.

You know the pictures and the captions: From “scrawny to brawny,” are you a “hard gainer”? And my favorite“from this to this in 90 days”. It’s almost like magic they are so amazing. So, how do they do it? Well if you are the magician…….you know the “magic”.

Adding lean muscle mass to your body is not something you do by accident. There are proven principals that work no matter your age, gender or current level of fitness. But as with all things, some ARE more important than others. With that in mind here is my list of things, in order of priority that you should incorporate into any weight lifting routine that is geared to muscle mass building.

Bodybuilding is different than weight lifting. If you are a bodybuilder you are about symmetry, muscle proportion and definition, as well as size. If you are a weight lifter, you are looking to get bigger and stronger. Period. There's obviously similarities in how you build muscle mass regardless, if your ultimate objective is to be bigger. This is how you do it fast!

I cannot believe the amount of misinformation there is on this topic. Depending on your source you will read everything from the governments RDA of .36 grams per pound of body weight, to some bodybuilding sites that go as high as 2 grams per pound and everything in between. Once you have a little understanding it's quite simple to figure out the right amount of protein that YOU need to add lean muscle mass.

So my wife gets a phone call last night from someone she works with that says "did you hear that ****** passed away a couple hours ago?". Well my wife is the supervisor at her work and she responds with "no, no one has contacted me about anything." And then she proceeds to start making calls about this person who has supposedly just dropped dead.
