The inches we want to lose are everywhere around us…


The number one thing I am ask is for “diet tips” hooded-sweatshirtsecrets of the game. I think most are looking to hear about a magic pill or specific workout that does the trick. Well… neither of them exist. It’s always a matter of balanced diet and proper training. I do however believe we can do a better job at the things we are doing that we don’t sometimes consider as important. Here are a few tips I have my athletes do that have seemed to make a difference in the things they are already doing. The key is “thermogenesis” not to be confused with supplements that contain “thermogenics.” Thermogenesis is directly related to the metabolic rate. When the core temperature of the body is increased, the metabolism is stimulated, which ultimately causes the body to use stored fat cells to support the additional energy output.

Where can this help you in your day to day routine? Here is a short list of ways to implement this in the things you are already doing:

“Strapping IN or Not”

Bodybuilding by definition is just that, building strappedone’s body. On the other hand, Men’s physique is just that a physique contest. While the merits of both can be argued and believe me they have been. I wanted to touch on one aspect of training that may seem small and obscure but speaks volumes when achieving one’s goals in the different divisions of the NPC and IFBB.

Top Amateurs like Dusty Hanshaw and Steve Kuclo use straps because the ability to lift more weight builds more muscle. The equation is really simple, the heavier the weight the more the muscle breaks and the bigger it becomes. Ergo, the structure of a bodybuilder is much different than that of a men’s physique competitor. One aspect is that men’s physique is about overall structure versus bodybuilding is about symmetry and size. To the outsider, there may be little to no difference but to me I found out very quickly the difference...

Cycle Fat-Burners For Maximum Fat Loss

Is your pre-workout drink or fat-burner 368-0251not having the same kick that it used to? I get asked all the time what fat burners and pre-workout I use. People are usually surprised to find that I not only take ¼ to ½ of the recommended dosage, but that I use several different products and cycle their usage.

Just like your body will get accustomed to the same workouts, your body will get accustomed to the same supplements, especially when they are of the stimulant variety.

Berry Good Colossal Calorie Recovery Shake

Immediately following the completion of IMG_1334your workout(within 20-30mins) it's very important to provide your body with the proper nutrients for the recovery process. You need a fast digesting protein source like whey and some simple sugars such as fruit to help your body transition from a catabolic state(breaking down muscle), into an anabolic state(building or repairing muscle). This is a great higher calorie post-workout shake for individuals that are in the process of trying to add size.

“WHO SAID STAIRS WERE MEANT TO WALK UP”

I have an interesting approach to using the Men's Physique Image 7-3-11stadium bleachers for your next aggressive workout. I want you to look past the idea of running up the stairs this time. Visualize your approach to “bear climbing” up the steps and “bear climbing” down the steps. Yes, this is your unorthodox approach to physically tackling the stadium’s steps. I want you to climb up and down the steps using your hands and feet. I believe running the stairs is a fantastic method of increasing your heart rate and targeting your legs, however, why not increase your heart rate and rip up your entire body for a different change of pace. The muscles that will primarily take the work load are you’re:
