How did you get started with bodybuilding? I started lifting weights when I was 19 and at the time I was tall and very skinny, 5'8" and 115lbs. I had just gotten out of a very unhealthy relationship and was tired of being pushed around (literally). So I started lifting to put on more size as I wanted to feel like I could hold my own if I needed to. As I [...]

I don't usually like to write whole articles about supplements because I believe diet and training to be far more important than any combination of supplements. However there are a few supplements that work, creatine being the most notable of all of them. It is the best selling supplement ever, period. Creatine sales totaled over 100 million dollars in la[...]

How did you get started with bodybuilding? I got started when I was about 16 years old with my first bodybuilding magazine. I remember it was a FLEX magazine with Lee Haney on the cover. After seeing the pics of Lee and Rich Gaspari and how super vascular they were I was immediately hooked. I also remember being inspired by Superman and the famous Superman[...]

Like it or hate it, we all know one thing: Unless you want to be a disgusting lardball all your life, cardio is an essential component of your training program. If there's something worse than doing a cardio routine you dread, it's doing a cardio routine you dread that doesn't give you any benefits. Wasted time, wasted sweat, all for nothing. Ugh. The Car[...]

How did you get started? I got started with bodybuilding in High school. We had a tiny weight lifting room that a lot of my friends liked to use after school hours. I remember looking at them and saying how much of a waste of time I thought that was, as I was going to my basketball practice, volleyball practice, soccer practice, etc. How ironic, huh? Our [...]

"No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training... What a disgrace it is for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable." – Socrates "Trust me when you love something you don't need motivation" - Serge Nubret "One man has enthusiasm for 30 minutes, another for 30 days, but it[...]

The following six meals have one thing in common: They're perfect. They're flawless. They're clean as can be, and they're ideal because they help you build muscle (provided you're hitting the gym devotedly), burn fat and promote overall stellar health. And, conveniently, they account for a full day's worth of great eating. Not sure what to eat for breakfa[...]

How did you get started with bodybuilding? I have had a lifetime passion for exercise & sport, beginning with Gymnastics as a youngster progressing to Muay Thai Kickboxing as well as playing and enjoying the tough sport of Rugby. I carried on attending gym and doing the odd class but never took it too seriously until now. After being inspired by magazin[...]

In the pursuit of more muscle and strength, we're all gullible enough to believe concrete rules that promise gains if we always do this and never do that. They make training such a no-brainer. Granted, these so-called rules of the gym carry some sound advice. That's why you'll forever overhear them during between-set banter and from that know-it-all on th[...]
