Free e-book The 5 Hidden Libido Killers
Have you ever started out to do one thing but ended up doing something different?
Night and day different?
Remember how Post-It Notes were invented?
Some guy was trying to come up with a “permanent” glue.
Obviously he failed… and he considered it a failure… but 3M had another idea.
The Skinny On Fats
Let’s get this one out in the open:
1. Fats do not make you gain bodyfat.
2. Fats do not put you on Heart Attack Row.
3. Fats are not the enemy.
We’ve been sold a bag of lies when it comes to fats.
Exercise And The Brain
If you ever needed another good reason to exercise, I’ve got one for you:
Exercise makes your brain bigger.
Actually this isn’t entirely accurate. To be more specific, exercise was found to increase brain size slightly, but far more important to increase “spatial reasoning.”
This is the ability to recognize patterns, remember phrases, numbers, and so-on. This was discovered by researchers at the Universities of Chicago and Pittsburgh.
It is also one of the most important factors to the prevention of Alzheimer’s and dementia.
How Long To Rest Between Sets
A lot of my readers ask me how long to rest between sets while exercising.
The answer is: It depends on your goals.
If you are training to increase strength, I recommend resting a bit longer – up to two minutes for exercises like squats and heavy dumbbell work. But if you want to burn the most amount of bodyfat and gain lean muscle, I recommend resting for very short periods of time.
“The Iron Guru” Vince Gironda used to recommend leaving your hands on the bar between sets — now THAT is short rest intervals! He would frequently rest only 15-20 seconds between sets.
Hungry ?
Got a question for you:
Should you “stay hungry”?
Let me explain what I mean.
Arnold Schwarzenegger made a movie a while time ago called “Stay Hungry.” Only a handful of people saw it.
I was one of them.
I loved the idea of “staying hungry” — of never sitting on your rear end too long… of never being totally comfortable… and of always progressing.
Find Out If You Too Are At Risk
Want to know what your real odds are of having a heart attack?
How about a stroke? Diabetes?
Okay, this isn’t sounding like a positive letter… but hang in there. It gets a lot better and more positive.
I was having lunch today with my CPA and my good friend Sherry Strong. Sherry’s upcoming book is a must-read. I will let you know when she’s ready to release it.
Since Sherry has been here visiting me in Dallas I have learned SO much about natural food preparation and what really causes disease.
The Secret To A Better Lovelife
Today we need to chat about your hormones.
Yeah, I chat a lot about hormones. That’s because I have been to Hormone Hell and back. Twice.
I’ve lived to tell the tale.
It’s scary… and it’s one of those hidden illnesses that you might not even know you have.
I had it at 27. I did not affect my lovelife, but that was probably due to my youth. If I did not treat it then, I would have no lovelife or drive at ALL right now.
New Research: Fat Is Contagious?
Let me tell you about the AD-36 adenovirus. Adenoviruses are the same nasty bugs that cause the common cold. We all have these viruses in various forms in our body all the time. That last bit is a critical distinction.
Remember that.
The Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana has been doing some really ground-breaking research on AD-36. AD-36 affects stem cells… more specifically fat cells, both pre-formed and post-formed.
Burn More Bodfyat With Spices
It’s the spice of life.
Food that is. Or opinions. I guess there is a lot of things that are officially “the spice of life.”
I think spices are the spice of life.
I have a new-found love of spices since hanging around a killer healthy-food chef for the past week.
Wow oh wow… I had no idea.
A Private Little Food Fight
Let’s talk food Lewis.
More than that, let’s talk about the war
going on right now in your local grocery
store. The one right down the street.
The place you went perhaps a few days
ago for your family’s groceries.
Before I begin, you may not think this is
that important.
He Laughed At Me In The Gym!
Ever been laughed at Lewis?
Usually it’s no fun to be laughed at unless
you’re intending to be funny, right?
The other day was an exception to the rule.
This guy had been noticing me in the gym.
I’d come in and leave before he was done
with his warm-up routine.

Three Tips For A Sexier Chest
The chest is one of the signs of a man’s man, at least according to a survey that was published in “Men’s Health” on what women find sexy about men. Women can also increase their attractiveness to men simply by looking more fit. A survey conducted in preparation for National Orgasm Day (who knew?) revealed that eight out of ten women increased their orgasm frequency and intensity through just three days a week of
strength training.
Proof – Gain Muscle and Burn Bodyfat At The Same Time
Listen: You do NOT want to just “burn bodyfat” or god-forbid “lose-weight”… that will not give you the body you want.
You absolutely MUST shape your muscles, tighten and tone, and burn bodyfat.
And you can do it at the same time.
Most pros disagree with me. They think it is metabolically impossible to gain muscle while in a state of low-calorie dieting.
