This is a guest post from Brad Pilon about a topic that I think doesn't get addressed enough: getting lean without destroying your testosterone levels. Testosterone is important for women as wel...
My perfect day involves an 85-90 degree day at a beach (preferably with waves), my girlfriend, other friends, a lounge chair, a cooler full of sandwiches and beer. Honestly…I could repeat that ...
When I was first training back in the late 80's I assumed that to build bigger muscles I would have to constantly lift heavier and heavier weights. To a certain extent that is true, but there ar...
Today, Id like to look at the idea of focusing on just one exercise per muscle group, compared to using a variety of exercises. If you have never tried a workout where you do 8-10 sets of the same ex...
Starvation mode is a term that gets thrown around loosely. Many people believe that too little protein or too few of calories in a day will cause loss of muscle mass.
I roughly remember my first HIIT cardio workout. I had read an article in Muscle Media 2000, written by Shawn Phillips (in 1993 I think) describing a way to do cardio to burn fat like crazy.

It is possible to do effective interval training outdoors, but you have to take a slightly different approach compared to doing them on a treadmill. With a typical cardio machine you can adjust the i...

Although CrossFit seems like an overnight success, its story began quite a few years ago. The first time I heard about CrossFit was back in 2006, about a year before I started this blog. At that time...
I've recently read some conflicting advice on Omega 3 supplements in regard to weight loss. Studies have shown that fish oils and other Omega 3 supplements do promote weight loss, but are these ...
Have you heard of The Slow Carb Diet? This is an eating approach outlined by Tim Ferriss in the book The 4-Hour Body. Im a big fan of the book, but not the biggest fan of the diet plan.
So this past November and December I finalized an Abs course, called Abs Blueprint 1.0. The idea was to launch it as a paid course in late Spring of 2011. I wanted to introduce it at $27 to my newsle...
A piece of paper, a crazy Canadian, and a metalworker to make the ultimate pull up device? This is how MacGyver would setup a home gym for sure!
Ive wanted to do an exercise and diabetes post for a long time now. I am by no means an expert on diabetes, but I wanted to research and put up a post on this important subject. More importantly, I w...
Visual Impact for Women: It only took me about a year to launch after releasing my mens course. I want to apologize for that. It wasnt my plan for women to have to wait that long to get their hands o...
Are you familiar with the name Tyler Shields? I have to admit I wasn't either until a few days ago. Like often on the Internet, I got distracted from reading my email. I was on AOL and a picture...

So I am going to to talk about a study that questions a lot of what you will read online regarding gaining strength and muscle. It was conducted a couple of years ago, but you won't hear it bein...

So I have recently been toying around with the one arm military press. I train shoulders twice per week and I now include heavy one arm military presses every other shoulder workout. This started by ...
I am cautious about recommending explosive strength training due to a higher risk of injury compared with slow and steady training. That being said, it is an effective way to gain strength quickly wh...
I am nervous right now as I type this post. I'm going to talk about something personal and it doesn't have anything to do with getting in shape. Ever since the age of 12, when I lost my mom...
The coolest thing about the Internet in my opinion is the ability to meet people from all over the globe. Over the past 3 years Ive become friends with a sharp personal trainer from Bulgaria, Yavor M...
The term inflammation usually puts me in skim mode when Im reading article. Im going to do my best to give you the Cliff Notes version of what inflammation is.
I love carbs, which is why I could never be 100% Paleo. I do eat Paleo meals and even occasionally have low carb days, but I can't imagine a world without carbs. I enjoy gummy candy and red vine...
