Anabolic steroids and growth hormone are very popular nowadays, but you should think again (and again and again) if you are considering to use them. Many bodybuilders and even casual everyday people use them to get in shape, to grow bigger and stronger, to follow some kind of idol, well that’s wrong – what else can I say. Steroids are illegal for reason you know… you need prescription to buy them in drug stores. But you can still get them in black market which is risky! Steroids and growth hormone is popular because you can reach your goal a lot…

Antioxidants are capable of slowing or preventing the oxidation of other molecules (free radicals) that can seriously damage our health. And the best sources of antioxidants are found in dark-colored fruits like berries and red grapes. You can eat them fresh or make juices – anything you want. If you enjoy fruit juices – make them, if you enjoy brutal eating of grapes – do it! Not all of the antioxidants are the same. There are numerous types of them and each one dominates more or less in any fruit you eat. The same is with free radicals (the targets…

Many of us use lifting gloves to ”aid” us in the workouts. Well, they don’t really aid, in fact they even can disturb your training process. I used lifting gloves for about two years and my conclusions about them are way so negative … In this article I will explain why I say so. 1)Gloves make the exercises even harder. The thicker the bar, the harder to grip it. Try to train with a ”fat” bar and you will understand what I’m talking about. Those lifting gloves adds a lot of thickness to bar. To illustrate everything more – try…

We all know that vegetables contain vitamins and minerals. We also know that our bodies need them every day. But researches have shown that almost 89% of Americans are not getting proper nutrition from food they take. It’s because in now days we like these fast foods, which are chemically modified to be bigger and tastier. But if we want to be healthy or reach our goals in fitness or bodybuilding, we cannot afford to eat these unhealthy foods. But even if we are eating normally we need to get some extra supplements. For bodybuilders these vitamins are “extra boost’’…

Tip #1Get out more of your muscles as you lift. Try to lift more explosively, to increase the testosterone synthesis. Lift heavy but clean, with proper technique. Lower the weight quite slowly but then lift it up as fast as you can, this will make you stronger and build some good, lean muscle mass. Tip #2Try to do as little cardio as you can. This might sound stupid but this is how it works. You should change the way you train – few weeks power, few weeks endurance and so on – this is the key to great success in…

I bet you’ve already heard something about different body types, but do you know which one is yours? Why it’s so hard for you to drop weight, but the girl (or boy) next door keeps eating ice cream and stay’s so thin? That’s because you are endomorph, but she (he) ectomorph. But that’s not all – there is one more body type tht every man wants – mesomorph. The problem here is that we don’t choose our body type. And we cannot switch between them, or change them like a pair of shoes. Sad, isn’t it? In this article I…

You met her just hours ago at the beach while building a silly sand castle. She started to talk with you not because of that silly sand castle!

This is what this article is about – shaping your tummy belly for summer, blasting your biceps! Beach…

Lately more people I know seem to be considering starting up on a cycle of juice (steroids). I like to laugh at them after telling me that. I look at them and see mostly scrawny people that work out if they get the chance, use bad form, have a bad diet, and basically dont know what they’re doing. If they would do some research and put alot of effort into they’re training and still were scrawny then I’d think differently (just kidding). Thats almost never the case, with the proper training everyone will gain. Here is a list of some…
