Counting Calories? Why?

Because of the bombardment of misinformation over several decades many people who want to lose body fat think there is only one thing that matters when trying to lose weight: Calories consumed versus calories used. The calorie theory couldn’t be a more simplistic and untenable view. However, to the demise of many bodies, many self-proclaimed experts perpetuating the calorie theory including doctors, nurses, dietitians, nutritionists, trainers, coaches, and most of all the me

Training Frequency for New Levels of Strength and Size

Training frequency is arguably the most important component of a training program. Optimum recovery time between training sessions is essential if one is going to continue to make progress.

A Training Log equals Progress

Log: A detailed record of a voyage. Whether one has decided to get physically fit, become a competitive bodybuilder or powerlifter, it’s most advantageous to take a direct route from point A to point B. Unfortunately, there are very few times when someone is able to find the shortest path in any endeavor in life.
