You've
heard it again and again; but, do you know WHY you should drink plenty of water?
“You must drink lots of water” is a bit cliché I know, but do really know all the reasons why you should be?
Let’s first start off with the role of water in the human body: The human body is anywhere from 55% to 78% water depends on body size.
As
the 2013 season takes off in full force many competitors are focused predominantly on their pre-contest diets and show line-ups. With the focus and determination to bring the best physique to the stage many lose sight of the overall goal. I would hope, for the most part, the reason why we all compete is to live a healthier and happier lifestyle. As the season rolls on, many competitors diet for extended periods of time and hit the stage just to find themselves binge drinking and eating everything and anything in sight. In many instances, those who are done competing for the season often continue these habits throughout their “bulking stage.” Similarly, I see competitors who intend to compete in other upcoming shows participating in the same festivities. Although celebration is surely deserved, the time period following a competition is just as important as the weeks leading to the big day. This brings me to the concept of reverse dieting.
When
was the last time you had a bicep workout that you knew was going to give you a crazy pump and leave you sore for days? Hopefully not too long ago, but if it’s been a while the wait is over. This workout is designed to work your biceps from many angles while still going heavy at times. Here are a couple tips to maximize your workout.
What 
a great turnout and incredible competition the season opener was for the IFBB Men’s Physique Division. Nineteen Pro’s turned up and put on an incredible performance for the spectators at another highly successful Jon Lindsay production. Many seasoned veterans were in the house as well as a large number of new pro’s cutting their teeth for the first time on the pro stage. It’s no secret that these guys are pushing hard to try to find their way onto the Olympia stage.

and time again that conversation seems to come up about how “eating healthy” cost so much and that’s why I can’t afford to “diet” or eat clean. Eating healthy does not have to break the bank if you follow a few simple rules. Yes that 99 cent burger or 4.99 value meal may sound intriguing but truth be told if done right, if you break it down dollar per dollar you could spend the exact or even less amount of money eating healthy as opposed to going out or eating fast food. Try a couple of these ideas and see for yourself.
Do
you have anyone in your circle of friends or family who are constantly harping about the negative? These are the people who don't understand why you are doing something and talk about all the things wrong with what you are trying to accomplish. I have certainly had my share over the years. When I was in endurance sports for so long and decided to train for my first marathon...many people asked "why in the world would you want to put yourself through that?" They would make fun of the long hours of running I needed to do to get ready for the race. When I decided then to do my first Ironman, the negative responses grew even louder. "You want to do WHAT...for a 140.6 miles?!??" They question my sanity, why I focused so much time and effort into the sport. Why I would do century rides on Saturday mornings, or 13 mile runs on Sundays. In time, I just had to reject the negativity and move forward. It would have been much easier if they all felt the need to give me some positive feedback, but I understand that some people will never change.
