Build Muscle Quickly- The Natural Athlete's Way To Adding Muscle Mass

It's not even a question about whether we want to build muscle quickly or not. Of course we want to, we want everything quick. Given the choice, why would we ever want something to take longer than it needs to? With as much effort as it takes to build muscle and lose fat, the sooner we see results, the better.

You Can't Out Exercise A Bad Diet

No matter what type of diet or what type of exercises that you are doing, losing weight all comes down to creating a caloric deficit. To do this you can decrease your calories by eating less or exercising more. Between the two, decreasing your calories through diet is by far the best way to cause a calorie deficit. In reality, you just can't out exercise a bad diet.

The problem that most people have is that they grossly overestimate the amount of calories that they burn through exercising.

Here's One of My Favorite High Protein Recipes

On the days that I am not fasting, I still try and eat fairly well. This is a switch from just a few months ago. I think losing fat and starting to see some real results has inspired me to eat better all the time. I usually don't eat after dinner, but when I do, I try and keep it pretty healthy without any empty calories. A few years ago, we bought one of those Vitamix blenders at the home show in Pittsburgh. Me and my wife are suckers for whatever new gadgets come out and usually buy something

Intermittent Fasting Makes Las Vegas Funner?

I just got back from a little four day trip with my oldest son to Las Vegas. He will be graduating college in May from Penn State and we went out to spend some time together just me and him. We had a great time and as I usually do on vacation, I ate and drank whatever I wanted. I didn't overindulge, but I didn't hold back either.

Here's a shot from outside of the Hard Rock Cafe on the last night that we were in Vegas, what a cool place! If you like music, you should check it out.

My Legs Are Killing Me!

Well if you see me walking like a penguin, it's because my legs are killing me! I have been following Craig Ballantyne's turbulence training for the last eight weeks and have had some incredible results with it. I have been doing strictly bodyweight exercises, and concentrated on losing fat instead of gaining size or getting stronger. It has been a nice break from pounding the weights and I feel better than ever. At 41, I don't feel the need to squat 500 lbs anymore, and I think my knees will

My Training Partner Is Missing Again!

I got a text from my training partner just before I left my house around 5:00 AM this morning. It said, "Don't be too pissed, but I had a rough night and am not coming to the gym." This wasn't really a big deal because he usually misses two or three workouts every month. I'm used to it by now.

I used to get a little mad and was going to quit training with him because he is so undependable. I finally just quit letting it bother me and if he shows up, fine, and if he doesn't that's fine too.
