how to stay injury-free…
Listen… if you want to get big results, you have to train big.
Muscles grow due to a natural adaptive survival response, and if
you don’t give them a damn good reason to grow, well, they
won’t.
While training hard and heavy may be awesome for your muscles,
it can be trouble for the health of your joints and connective
tissue.
This is simply the reality of intense weight training, and while
there are no guarantees that you will be able to completely avoid
getting injured, you can certainly take specific steps to lessen
the chance.

The TRUTH About Empty Stomach Cardio
Over the weekend I hit the gym with my buddy John for a morning cardio workout.
Now, I say “cardio”, but really it was a metabolic resistance training session.
If you’re unfamiliar with the term, the simple definition for metabolic resistance training is “cardio with weights”. We’ll cover this more in detail in another update so as not to get too off topic.
So we’re about 10 minutes into the workout and John looks like he’s in pretty bad shape (despite being in really GOOD shape). So I asked him what the deal was.
“I didn’t eat anything for breakfast.”
Me: Why the heck not?

Swedish Weight Loss Secret + Download Turbulence Training Bodyweight Workout
For years I’ve been yelling and screaming about the importance of online
social support (i.e. having Internet weight loss buddies).

some men and women succeed at weight loss while others don’t.
How To Determine If You Are a Hardgainer + Free e-book Shape up Now
The popular definition of a hardgainer is a person that works out hard with weights but has a hard time putting on muscle. Six weeks of working out can go by and no significant changes in muscle size are noted other than perhaps a bit of an increase in muscle tone.
According to this popular definition of a hardgainer, all of us are “hardgainers” because for the most part, putting on muscle is not an easy endeavor. The easiest period to gain muscle is during puberty. After that, gaining muscle becomes progressively harder as we age due to the fact that hormonal production starts declining between the ages of 25 and 30.

Are Abs Machines Necessary?
I’ll be honest… the average person doesn’t possess the patience required to develop a great set of abs or the work ethic to maintain it.
They lack the discipline and determination needed to achieve their goal. Many people go on “quick fix” fad diets to reduce their midsection. Others buy every
ab training gizmo and gadget advertised on TV only to end up folding them up and sliding them under the bed or using them as “expensive clothes hangers.”
Based on the amount of email I get on the subject, I know how fixated most men and women are about finding the “Holy Grail” of abdominal development in some type of machine advertised on TV.
Read on to see my answer to Are Ab Machines Needed?

HOW TO RECONCILE WORK AND WORK-OUT
I’m sure many of you wonder how they are going to manage to juggle their private life, working for the boss, and taking time for themselves at the gym. During my first years of work and training, I was lucky enough that I was working at my own gym. This of course made training during working hours pretty darned simple!
For the past two years, I’ve been working from home, training clients on-line and pretty much being master of my own time. Again, training schedule has not been a problem. However, in both cases, I did make a schedule that I stuck to; to make sure I didn’t just let the day pass without having done my workout. You can’t always trust willpower, even as a trainer (yes, we procrastinate too at times).
