Why Working Out Every Day Won't Work You might feel accomplished by challenging your body daily, but taking no days off will limit your results and even halt gains. Here's why.

The beauty of this "challenge" lies in its simplicity. Because it's so easy, it's infinitely doable and, given that you can do it week after week, infinitely sustainable. Despite its apparent ease, though, it works really, really well. 100 REPS EVERY DAY Just pick one bodyweight exercise – one...

You're going to make mistakes. There isn't a lifter on the planet who hasn't. You'll make mistakes with your form, your programming, and even your outlook. The key to getting better is to learn from your mistakes. Better yet, learn from those who have screwed up before you, so you don't have to...

Have you ever done one of those “juice cleanses” before? Did it work? Probably not… just my guess. I’m also guessing you felt hungry all the time, missed your coffee and whole food meals, felt groggy and tired, and then, whatever “weight” you lost during the 7 day to 3-week cleanse all came...

The three major reasons to only eat organic food. By Kris Gethin For many years I’ve pursued physical perfection through nutrition, training, and supplementation. Aesthetics alone are a limited endeavor, though. Internal health is real wealth. In recent years I’ve made a conscious effort to...

Ihave a friend named Nathan Barry who recently finished writing three books in just 9 months. How did he do it? By following a simple strategy. He wrote 1,000 words per day. (That’s about 2 to 3 pages.) And he did it every day for 253 straight days. Now, compare that strategy to the classic...

THE PRISONER I recently watched a documentary about the most-feared inmates in the prison system. One of these inmates was truly a freak of nature. He was locked up in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day. The camera peaked through the small hole in the steel door and you saw this man...

For those that run Test E or C either on cycle or for TRT, anyone actually dose 1 shot per week (every 7 days)? Is there any real physical or mental downside to this? Anyone ever notice really shitty bloodwork around day 6 or 7 right before the next shot? Can you get away with pinning Mast P...

Your goal may be to start a business, write a novel, lose fat, or get a college degree. In fact, the more important a new venture is to your personal development, the more powerful the roadblocks (which Pressfield calls "The Resistance") will be. Fighting this Resistance is the "war" referred to...

The squat can be a tough exercise because you don't "know" when you've hit the proper depth. To fix that issue and avoid having someone call out the right depth for every rep, set up a band going across the power rack so that every time you go down your butt will touch it. That way you'll learn...

There also exists a strange breed of creatures which inhabit the same place we do and these bring shame and dishonour to our temples of pure living as surely as a blot of ink ruins the water. These creatures look human but I swear if we could skin their hides we would find some alien being...

Foods You Thought Were Healthy But Aren’t I’m a little hesitant to recommend that you should avoid certain foods because of chemical contamination. I mean, I get it. It seems that everything causes cancer or liver damage or diabetes. And let’s not forget all the “endocrine disrupters” in the...

by Lauren Del Turco, CPT Every once in a while, it’s comforting to have a good ol’ PB&J sandwich for lunch. But lately, with every nut butter creation imaginable popping up on store shelves, we’ve been tempted to make the creamy treat a staple of our daily diet. Pecan butter with a drizzle of...

After completing Week 2 of the Arnold Challenge, I couldn’t help but think of the following quote I would use during my public speaking days: “In every form of adversity, there is opportunity. You just have to find it.” I came up with that to help share some positivity with those I was speaking...
