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.
here’s how to Stop Feeling Hungry.
There is absolutely nothing worse than being hungry (well, being tired, sick, and stressed are all pretty up there), but hunger just takes the cake – no pun intended

Plateaus of Weight Loss- Adaptive Thermogenesis + FREE Download.
Weight loss plateaus can be frustrating and detrimental to your fat loss if not dealt with swiftly and properly. Another way to look at weight loss plateaus is that they are actually your body settling in at a new body weight set point.
The set point theory is basically the idea that your body likes to be at a certain body weight and it will work to keep you there. Chances are you have experienced this in your own life. I’m talking about situations where you will gain or lose weight but inevitably after a couple weeks or months of trying to change you end up around the same body weight (I know for me 175lbs was a set point, in my own system for quite some time).

You’ve probably heard of the rapid weight loss program – Warp Speed Fat Loss. It is a 28 Day blueprint for people that want to lose up to 20lbs in 28 days. It works like gang busters.

Homeostasis is the property of a living organism, that regulates its internal environment so as to maintain a stable, constant condition.
When you don’t drink enough water in the short term — often the body retains water. It attempts to maintain homeostasis by counteracting the stresses we put on it.
When you drink a lot of extra water – your body excretes more water to maintain balance.
When we weight train — we actually break down muscle tissue. And the body responds by building new muscle. It attempts to maintain homeostasis by doing the reverse of the stimulus we placed on it.
What You Should Expect in Fat Loss – Part 2 Over Training
Some clients have come to me having been in on a diet in one form or another for the majority of their life. They have had short bouts of breaks but for the most part, life for them has been a never ending bulk and a cut cycle, now whether or not during the heavy eating they were lifting that’s another story. Still though that “feed and don’t feed” pattern is ingrained into their natural habit and activity. Combine this with training and we receive a ticket to overtraining.
Now before I dive right in yes, I am mixing, this is not a conversation about overtraining meaning I am assuming training. Note that most of the following problems can occur by eating a low caloric diet for too long if you aren’t training AND some of these problems can present themselves if you aren’t taking good training rest even if your feeding is on point.
Instead of New Year’s Resolutions, Set S.M.A.R.T.E.R. Goals
Why do new year’s resolutions usually fail? Why do you start with guns blazing on January 1st, but by February, you’re losing motivation, cheating on your diet, skipping workouts, and slipping back into old patterns? John LaValle, a master trainer of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) suggests that we should take a closer look at the meaning behind the word “Resolution.” Being derived from the word “re-solve,” it really means “to solve again.” And isn’t that exactly what happens? You solve the same problem again and again, year after year?
You know what I’m talking about… That 20 pounds you lost last year, and promptly gained it right back… you are now resolving to take it off again aren’t you? The very nature of the word resolution implies gaining it back again.
