Have 
you ever noticed how many sayings and clichés exist regarding the back? Seriously, just think about it for a minute—I can wait.
Okay, are you done? Excellent!
More than likely, the first cliché that popped into your mind was Arnold’s “I’ll be back!” catchphrase from Terminator. While this cliché doesn’t have anything to do with the back per se, it counts because Arnold said it and the man’s back is huge! If you took the time to make a mental list of back-related sayings and clichés then your list might look a little something like the following:
With 
us today is MP Competitor Michael Fitzgerald. Congrats on a great showing in the division! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
After training for three years I felt I was ready to get on stage. I acquired a trainer for diet and cardio and went hard as possible for three months and dieted down for three weeks prior to the show. Also I like the physique division rather than body building just because that’s the type of body I would like to have.
Can you tell us a little about the show in which you recenlty competed?
Yes, it was a small show so I felt it would be perfect for exposure in my first show. I took third place in the novice division and was told I went in too lean at 4% body fat 183 pounds in the over 5”10 division. But I was grateful for third place in my first show...
We've 
all heard the saying, "Abs aren't made in the gym, they are made in the kitchen", but is this really the case? I am not a doctor, nor do I claim to be a nutrition or fitness guru, but I do train very hard and have been doing so for the past twenty five years, and I have to say I have always had a problem with this statement. Let's be real, abs are not created in the kitchen, they are REVEALED there. The abdominals are a muscle group just like any other in your body, and require rigorous training and adequate rest to achieve that "blocky" look. For the majority of people, clean diet alone will not give them the look they desire...
With 
us today is MP Competitor Kyle Glickman. What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
Thank you! I decided to compete in the Men’s Physique Division because I am 6’4 and had competed in bodybuilding events in the past but felt I was too tall/long to really go far in the sport. I have more of an athletic look than a bodybuilding look...
When
it comes to obtaining optimal body mass, nutrition is potentially the most powerful variable one must control in order to achieve the look they want. Still, the exercise component of one’s training program certainly plays a large role in helping to maximize fat loss.
The cardiovascular aspect of training for fat loss for years has typically been split between proponents of steady state cardio and high intensity interval training. Usually this training is performed before, after, or on a different day altogether from one’s resistance training.
More recently a hybrid approach has been studied that has shown incredible efficacy when it comes to burning body fat called “Integrated Concurrent Exercise Training” (ICE) and that will be the main focus of this article...
Friends 
and others at the gym often ask me which supplements I take and what I recommend they take to get their best possible results. My supplement use is dependent upon my specific goals at that time as they can change throughout the year. My standard “go-to” supps” I use on a regular basis are whey protein, a multi vitamin and creatine. All three of these are essential in producing lasting and hardcore results. For many of the people asking me for advice, these are good options for them as well...
