I like to take a bit of a minimalist approach to my exercise selection as well and believe that most people could benefit from doing the same. You’ve got enough to stress out and worry about. The last thing you need is to constantly be wondering what angle you should set the bench to or if you should hold the weights overhead or at your side during a split squat...

Like just about all lifters, I got a lot bigger and stronger in my first 1-2 years of training in spite of the moronic stuff that I did. In hindsight, I was about as informed as a chimp with a barbell - but things worked out nonetheless. That is, at least, until I hit a big fat plateau where things didn't budge...

Your body is programmed to hold onto fat. You've designed it that way... I did the same thing, once. Now, it's time to break the cycle. Your body needs to understand that it's time to shape itself, shed fat, and build muscle...

Don't worry if you're not there yet, you're about to learn eight sure-fire methods that will help you earn bragging rights in and out of the gym.

I’ll bet your quest to get a super lean, athletic body has failed you in the past. You’ve been told that cardio, high rep weight training, and simply “eating less” will make your body burn fat. So why did those approaches fail? There are five reasons...

I hear this question often in regards to cardio and burning body fat. “Should I perform cardiovascular exercise for a longer duration at a low intensity 45-60 minutes, or shorter at a higher intensity, 15-20 minutes?"...

Isolation exercises rule, but they are like the icing on the cake... You have to have all the ingredients present, mix them together and bake the cake before adding the topping. Too many trainees are trying to ice the cake before it has been baked!

“How can I gain muscle and lose fat at the same time?” That’s right up there with “How do I get six pack abs” as one of the most frequently asked fitness questions of all time. The problem is, when you ask it, you get all kinds of conflicting answers - even from experts who are supposed to know these things. So what’s the deal? Is it really possible to lose fat and build muscle simultaneously?

If there is one thing that continues to perplex me, it is the disparity between how popular whey protein is (thanks in large part to yours truly) and how much confusion there is regarding this immensely popular supplement...

Over-training is very common amongst athletes and particularly bodybuilders, since they figure that training as much as possible is the fastest way to massive muscle gains. This couldn't be any further from the truth however...

When an earthquake unleashes its fury, there's also a series of "aftershocks" that roar through an affected area and can hit within a few hours...or even DAYS later! When it comes to building muscle, you can use a similar "aftershock" technique that will not only increase muscle fiber activation...but GREATLY increase your mass-building capacity!

In part one, I described the growing obsession many people have with eating only the purest, healthiest foods, aka “clean eating.” You’d think that nothing but good would come from that, but some experts today dislike the concept of clean foods because it implies a dichotomy where other foods, by default, are “dirty” or forbidden - as in, you can never, ever eat them again (imagine life without chocolate, or pizza… or beer! you guys).
