5 Minute Fat Loss

Sunday was Soccer Day—a day in which I do nothing but watch English Premier League soccer, and I occasionally switch over to see how the Chiefs are doing.

You see, I love soccer

But Sunday, perhaps out of boredom (maybe even frustration with the soccer game AND the Chiefs), I spent 91 minutes watching a movie that I watched maybe twice when it first made it to the silver screen: Rocky IV.

I didn’t give it much thought back when it first came out, but WOW what a motivational story.

This month, I am going to be revisiting back training.  Back training will help you develop a powerful V taper look in the upper body.  If you’re female and don’t care for a “V taper” don’t worry – you’re not going to end up looking like a guy!  And a well-toned back is very sexy, so go for it!

Steroids. They’ve been a topic of discussion in my life for over 25 years. Do I recommend them? Never! Have I worked with athletes who have used them and found at least short-term benefit? Absolutely! Have I helped people get “off the juice” by helping them better understand training and eating? Yes, and that feels good!

I am often asked about steroids via e-mail, and the questions are usually related to specific drugs and dosages. “How many mg. of Sustanon should I do per week in an 8-week cycle,” or “is it better to mix Winstrol and Primo for a 12 week cycle, or should I start with Anadrol to get some size first?”

Just what are you supposed to eat after a hard cardio session? While a lot of people know a high carbohydrate protein shake is the way to go after weight training, few really know the best things to consume after aerobics – a workout generally intended for fat burning. Of course, there are people out there who do cardio “to be heart-healthy,” but let’s face it, the overwhelming majority hit the treadmill or stair stepper because it helps keep body fat at bay. By focusing on your post-cardio meal, you’ll be able to maximize fat burning and keep the torch lit even after your cardio session.

The Secrets to Building Muscle, Losing Fat and Getting Fit Fast

Nutrition is almost always THE neglected factor when someone isn’t making any progress with their fitness training.  And why shouldn’t it be?  It can be quite confusing.

But understand that without a grasp of proper muscle building and/or fat burning nutrition, you won’t be able to make the progress that you desire, and you won’t reach your potential.

With a well implemented nutrition plan, you’ll be on your way toward achieving your fitness goals.

Why does nutrition seem so confusing?  For starters, there are too many choices. This makes it very difficult to decide the appropriate course of action.

We have the Hollywood diet, the cabbage diet, the grapefruit diet, the juice diet, the zone diet, high carb, low carb, no carb, high protein, low protein, no protein (okay, maybe not but it wouldn’t surprise me), high protein foods, high fat, low fat, slim fast, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Nutri-System, etc, etc.

Obviously, nutrition is big business.

I find it peculiar the way shoulders are something of an afterthought for many bodybuilders.

REMEMBER: I call anyone who walks through the door of a gym a bodybuilder… that includes you, ladies.

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that the muscles involved in shoulder pressing are so similar to those used in chest pressing that they play second fiddle. I’ve seen many bodybuilders and serious weight trainees devote an excessive amount of time and energy on their pecs, but only rush through a few quick sets for delts.

Nothing looks sillier than a guy with a big chest, decent arms and little width and thickness to his shoulders.

It’s a narrow, girlish look.

That’s right – GIRLISH!

You might be wondering what millionaires have to do with your health and fitness goals. Read the Rest of The Importance of Discipline… Think on Paper…

When people hear the term Unified Theory, some times called the Grand Unified Theory, or even “Theory of Everything,” they probably think of it in terms of physics, where a Unified Theory, or single theory capable of defining the nature of the interrelationships among nuclear, electromagnetic, and gravitational forces, would reconcile seemingly incompatible aspects of various field theories to create a single comprehensive set of equations.

Such a theory could potentially unlock all the secrets of nature and the universe itself, or as theoretical physicist Michio Katu, puts it “an equation an inch long that would allow us to read the mind of God.”

That’s how important unified theories can be. However, unified theories don’t have to deal with such heady topics as physics or the nature of the universe itself, but can be applied to far more mundane topics, in this case nutrition.

Regardless of the topic, a unified theory, as stated above, seeks to explain seemingly incompatible aspects of various theories. In this article I am attempting to unify seemingly incompatible, or opposing, views regarding nutrition… namely, what is probably the longest running debate in the nutritional sciences: calories vs. macro nutrients.

The buns are getting loads of press lately. It seems a perky posterior is as high a priority for many women as a pair of equally perky breasts. Some women are going to great lengths to achieve a more voluminous back-side, including undergoing buttock implants, augmentation and fat injections – extreme procedures when trying to eradicate a saggy, unimpressive derriere.

Haven’t these people heard of weight training?
