What about pain during exercise?
Do not ignore pain. If you feel increased pain or pain spreading to the legs, do not continue the activity. If you continue to perform the activity while you are in pain, you may cause unnecessary stress or damage to your joints. Seek the advice of a doctor or physical therapist. Fear of pain can cause unnecessary inactivity, so it is important to learn to "read" your body and know when you need to stop or modify an activity.

Triple Threat

If you're serious about shedding the flab, then do as much as you can to avoid sugar, dairy and alcohol. The triple threat to your nutrition goals. I'm not a purist by any means, so I'm not saying completely eliminate it from your diet. If you enjoy those foods and you say to yourself that you "can't" have it, then you'll rebel eventually and ruin your nutrition goals. For example, I use honey and soy milk creamer instead of sugar and half and half with my morning coffee. I've also substituted soy cheese products instead of cow's milk dairy cheese. I eat either coconut milk or soy milk yogurt too. And for alcohol, well, I never touch the stuff anyway.... read more

We all know that inorder to build muscle mass your body needs protein to build muscle. Once you add a certain amount of muscle your body still needs protein to maintain that muscle.
Since I added 30 pounds of muscle I still continue the habit of eating protein at every meal inorder to maintain that hard earned muscle I gained.... read more

Use Turkey

When making chili or sheppards pie, use turkey instead of ground beef.
You will save a few hundred calories and get half the amount of saturated fat.
Even though it is less calories and less saturated fat, you are getting a clean quality protein source.
USE TURKEY!!!

Competition suits

Purchase your competition suit with caution! I took a chance with the flame print, and it went down in flames! When the incredibally bright lights hit it there was waaaay too much bling. Confusing bling. It did not show well. Not good for symmetry. It works well in controlled modeling settings, but not for competition. Take my word for it. Learn from my mistake :)

I try to learn from the others at the gym. I observe people while they workout in order to learn what works and what does not.
I see too many people touching their iPod rather than working out.
If your iPod is interupting your workout either fix your iPod when you are NOT of the gym... or DITCH your iPod. ... read more

Do negatives to see big results

Doing a negative will increase your strength and size rather rapidly. Negatives are when people help you up with the weight, and you try and resist gravity on the way down. For example, on a bench press, add more weight than you can lift. Have 2 spotters help you up with the weight, and as they let go, go down as slowly as possible fighting gravity. These exercises will get you quik results, just don't do them too often as they do leave you more open to injury.... read more
