Walking
the Walk & Talking The Talk
This article is not for the easily offended or PC minded.
It is an in-your-face, and hopefully humorous, look at
the topic of steroids and how out of touch the medical/scientific
community and the general public can be in regards to
the facts about steroids. |
KISS : Keep
It Simple Stupid
The acronym “Keep it simple stupid” or “KISS”,
has been used for decades by the military, business schools,
medical schools, and in countless other areas where unneeded
complexity should be avoided at all costs. This article
looks at how some times nutrition and diet are simply
over complicated. |
Body
Building Myths That Must Die!
An irreverent look at the often ridiculous myths that
surround bodybuilding such as "your muscle will turn
to fat", "people who lift weights are gay"
etc etc. |
So You Wanna
Be a Fitness Model
People that follow my stuff know I generally write about
nutrition, supplements, training, and other topics that
are more science based than subjective topics, such as
what is covered in this article. I decided to shuck my
science geek persona, and write on a topic I know will
be helpful to thousands of would be and wanna be fitness
models. |

The
Big Picture of Permanent Weight Loss
For most people reading this article, finding an effective
diet that works most of the time must seem as complicated
as nuclear physics. It’s not, but there are a bewildering
number of choices for diets out there. High fat or no
fat? High carbohydrate or no carbohydrate? Low protein
or high protein? To make matters worse, there are a million
variations and combinations to the above diet scenarios
to add to the confusion. It seems endless and causes many
people to throw up their hands in frustration and give
up. In this article I will attempt to change all that.

Protein
Myths that Just Won't Die
In this article I look at some of the nutritional myths
that still exist around protein and use science to dispell
them. |
Brinks Unified
Theory of Nutrition
Any diet that claims calories don't matter, forget it.
Any diet that tells you they have a magic ratio of foods,
ignore it. Any diet that tells you any one food source
is evil, it's a scam. Any diet that tells you it will
work for all people all the time no matter the circumstances,
throw it out or give it to someone you don't like! |
The Simplest
Weight Loss Tips No One Follows
There are some amazingly simple behaviors and strategies
we can all add to our nutritional goals and workout plans
that will have a positive effect. Using my own addiction
to Cheez-It’s as the primary example, I am going
to cover a few of these surprisingly simple yet effective
strategies... |
It's All In
The Timing: Pre & Post Workout Nutrition
Most people are aware that nutrient timing is as important
as nutrient composition. In other words, it’s not
just what you eat, but when you eat it that gives optimal
results. As the man says, “Timing is everything.”
Consuming the right foods at the right time can have positive
effects on body composition: which means more muscle and
less body fat.... |
The role of nutrition
in martial arts, police, military personnel
For a considerable amount of time, nutrition has not played
a prominent role in the life of many martial artists,
police, and military personnel as a means of improving
performance. Top athletes are always looking for an edge.
Although the martial arts are more of a way of life and
a life style than a sport per se, the needs of the martial
artist are the same as that of the elite athlete.This
article looks in more depth at how nutrition is playing
a part. |

The Whey It
Is
If there is one thing that continues to perplex me, it
is the disparity between how popular whey protein is (thanks
in large part to yours truly) and how much confusion there
is regarding this immensely popular supplement. |
The Whey to
Weight Loss
Whey may be able to reduce stress and lower cortisol and
increase brain serotonin levels, improve liver function
in those suffering from certain forms of hepatitis, reduce
blood pressure, as well as other amazing recent discoveries,
such as whey’s possible effects on weight loss,
which is the focus of this article... |
The (Partial)
Vindication Of Soy Protein
So why does soy have such a bad reputation among bodybuilders?
On the surface, it would appear that soy protein is pretty
lousy stuff for most athletes. Soy protein has a low BV
score of 74. What does that mean? There are several ways
of assessing protein quality. |
Are there Hormones
in Your Whey?
One question that has popped up a few times in my email
‘in box’ relates to the issue of hormones
in whey protein supplements. Are there hormones in your
whey? It’s not a simple “yes” or “no”
answer I am sorry to say, but the short answer is.. |
Fighting Cancer
With Whey
Studies on whey demonstrate it's an even better protein
supplement than previously thought. Although whey protein's
health benefits have only recently been elucidated, the
use of whey protein for medicinal purposes has been prescribed
since the time of Hippocrates. |

The
Relegion of Pre and Post Workout Nutrition
Pre- and post-workout nutrition is all the rage these
days, and for good reason. For some, however, it’s
become more than a science—it’s become their
religion, or perhaps just a place to focus their OCD-like
tendencies. Regardless, people have taken the topic of
pre- and post-workout nutrition to a level that is not
justified by the research, or at least not confirmed by
the research that currently exists. |
The game that
is the "Proprietary Blend" Nutritional Supplement
Recently I wrote an article entitled "Terms, Terms,
Terms, An Inside look to buying supplements" which
can be found on the Gurus and Guests section of my private
forum. The article covered many of the misleading marketing
terms buyers have to deal with in an attempt to make informed
decisions on the supplements they spend their hard earned
money on. Some of the more potentially misleading commonly
used marketing terms I covered were... |
What's in your
creatine: Part 1
NOTE: This is an old article now but in it's day shocked
the entire industry to it's core and helped create the
safe creatine products we have today. A shocking report
by Will on the impurities in creatine products. |
Creatine: More
than a sports nutrition supplement
Although creatine offers an array of benefits, most people
think of it simply as a supplement that bodybuilders and
other athletes use to gain strength and muscle mass. Nothing
could be further from the truth. |
Creatine: Not
Just a Sports Nutrition Supplement
In this article, we examine some additional properties
of creatine, such as its effects on growth hormone release,
homocysteine and chronic fatigue syndrome, as well as
other important issues surrounding this supplement, such
as its safety. |

Sarcopenia,
the undiagnosed epidemic
Is a loss of strength, mobility, and functionality an
inevitable part of aging? No, it’s not. It’s
a consequence of disuse, suboptimal hormone levels, dietary
and nutrient considerations and other variables, all of
which are compounded by aging. One of the greatest threats
to an aging adult’s ability to stay healthy and
functional is the steady loss of lean body mass - muscle
and bone in particular. |
Joint Troubles
One of the most common problems faced by strength training
athletes is joint pain. "Oh my shoulder is killing
me" or "my knee has been bothering me for months"
or "I have been living on pain killers to get rid
of this ache in my elbow" are common complaints that
can be heard in any gym at any time. Oddly enough however,
this topic is not covered very often in most bodybuilding/fitness
magazines. Maybe the topic is just not all that "sexy"
or "cutting edge," but if you're one of the
thousands of people whose gains in muscle are being side
tracked by joint troubles, then you don't give a damn
about sexy or cutting edge-you just want relief! |

Blood

or positively impact your health and ability to add lean
body mass and minimize bodyfat levels. |
