What’s
the best post workout meal? Not Pop Tarts!
If you've read any of my other articles you've probably realized by now that I definitely take the "geeky" approach to training. In today’s article I want to explain the science behind post workout supplementation, its importance, and to examine some commonly practiced methods.
"Bro-Science" has come up with all sorts of crazy post workout methods. Some of the ones that I've heard of that don't make very much sense to me are chocolate milk, oats and whey, snickers bars and whey, donuts and milk, and what seems to be the most ridiculous to me is the infamous Pop Tart and whey. The Pop Tart method seems to be a mid-west thing. I've never heard of it in all my years in California, but it is routinely practiced here in the Mile High city.
There
are so many myths, stories and folklore on how to achieve a perfect toned, tight midsection or the so glorified “Six Pack”. Many self-proclaimed gurus out there today are marketing how to become the next Greek God with ripped and shredded ABS in the next 30 days and are making millions off our quest to have everything now.

Getting ripped basically means you have enough muscle to be seen with a low body fat percent. So the best tips I can give people to lose unwanted body fat are the following:
When 
do you know you’re ready? How do I even get started on my journey? If you’re like me, you probably asked this question to yourself time and time again . Every competitor has to start somewhere, but how do you know where to start? Where do you go? When do you know it’s your time to take the stage?
I’m here to share my “in progress” journey; my trials and tribulations, successes and failures and everything along the way...
In
my first segment I was on a train bound for NYC to meet up with Mike Lyons and Adam Silver of Silver Model Management. It was just two days after winning my class at the NPC Rhode Island Championships and I was doing everything in my power not to eat everything in sight! I ended up having a great meeting with Mike and Adam and I am now in the process of updating my portfolio so that I can start getting some modeling work as a Silver Model. I feel very excited and feeling blessed to have such an amazing opportunity.
