For many
, the off-season is a time to relax a little on your diet and training, allow yourself foods you would not normally have during a prep, having them in unmeasured amounts and then stepping on the scales once a week just to make sure you are “getting bigger”. However, like with any sport, the progression of science, monetary rewards and the depth of competition has lead to top level bodybuilders and physique athletes leaving fewer and fewer stones unturned as they do everything possible to gain an edge on the competition. This has resulted in much more attention being paid to the progress that can be made during the off-season and coaches are no longer employed by elite athletes solely for those 12-16 weeks prior to a show, but also for the knowledge they can employ during the athlete’s off-season...
The 
Sky’s the Limit for Marc Celestin!
Congrats on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
Thank you! I've always been a fan of the sport I just never thought about competing until I watched a couple shows live and felt like I belonged up there with the other competitors.
Can you tell us a little about the show in which you most recently competed?
I recently did my first show, November 16, 2013. The NPC Florida Gold Cup. It was a great show and I met a couple great future competitors...
As
most of us are in the off-season right now and taking in a few extra calories, I thought I would post a good superset routine to help keep that waistline in check. It’s time to grow but don’t get sluggish or slow. Remember to stay ready at all times!
Here is a Back, Shoulder and Ab workout to get you motivated to keep pushing when most are resting. Go ahead and enjoy a few cookies, just make sure you keep healthy meals coming too. This way overeating the bad stuff will be tougher since you’ll already be full.
Yoga 
may be a four-letter, foreign word for some Physique and Bodybuilding athletes but it shouldn't be. You may be ripped to the bone, have the best physique, but if you lack flexibility and mind control your training, and eventually your quality of life, will be compromised.
A little yoga can improve your workouts and maybe even extend your Physique or Bodybuilding career and you don’t have to ditch your current training to take advantage of it...
Several
years ago there was a very popular medication being marketed on TV. The commercial’s introduction made the following declaration:
“You know when you feel the weight of sadness. You may feel exhausted, hopeless and anxious. Whatever you do, you feel lonely and don’t enjoy the things that you once loved.”
This commercial described the feelings of sadness that affects people suffering from depression, but could just as easily describe the effects of trans fats on the human body. New research from Spain reveals that trans fats could be the root cause of depression in some people...
Hallart Keaton:
Beastmode is Always ON!
Congrats on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
I've competed as a men's middleweight bodybuilder and someone told me about the new Men’s Physique category and I wanted to see how I would do as a Physique competitor.
Can you tell us a little about the show in which you most recently competed?
My most recent competition was the Lackland Classic where I competed in the A class open as well as in Masters. I placed second in both categories and qualified for Team Universe...
