The medical condition known as a hernia is very common in the fitness industry. The definition of a hernia is when the contents of any body cavity extend beyond their normal boundaries.

only was the 2012 IFBB Pro Grand Prix Los Angeles a fierce competition, it was also an educational experience that taught all in attendance how to turn your body into a lean, massive, fat-burning machine. Thanks to contest promoter Jon Lindsay, Rx Muscle and Myotropics Physique Nutrition teamed up and presented a doctorate-level nutrition seminar to all those in attendance.
