One question I get often is this one: What kind of physique is achievable naturally, without taking performance enhancing drugs such as anabolic steroids? This is a question that I asked myself in my earlier days of training as well, simply because I thought it was nice to have some realistic expectations set up from the get go. So, what kind of physique is achievable naturally? On average, the [...]
One thing that I see recommended everywhere in the fitness industry is this: If you want to build a lean and muscular physique, then you should first bulk up to build muscle and then cut down to get rid of the fat gained during the bulk. This should then be cycled overtime. But, is this type of "yoyo" dieting really necessary? And more importantly, will it lead to a quicker [...]
Many of us are obsessed trying to build a body with extremely large and swollen muscles. You know the kind of body that modern bodybuilders like Phil Heath and Kai Greene have. Even though this level of development can be impressive and certainly look freakish, is this really the body that most people truly want and actually believe look good, especially girls? Well, I decided to find out what most [...]
Some of the most common messages I get from people are these: "I want to get ripped but I don't want to get small" "I'm currently 165 lbs and 15% body fat and I want to get to 180 lbs and 8% body fat "I like the size I'm at right now, but I want my abs to show more" Essentially what people want to do, even if they don't [...]
One question I get often is whether or not intermittent fasting is a good idea for someone starting out as skinny fat. Personally I started with the skinny fat physique and I've also been using intermittent fasting for over four years by now. So, I think I have enough experience with intermittent fasting and how it can help you as a skinny fat individual. So, that's what we're going to [...]
One of the biggest problem people bump into once they're done cutting is gaining most of their body fat back when transitioning into bulking. Spending 2-4 months or more getting getting lean, just to gain most of the fat back within a few weeks sucks! But at the same time we want to start eating more so that we can start packing on additional muscle sooner rather than later. So, [...]
To me building my physique is all about achieving physical excellence in aesthetics, strength and fitness. When I say aesthetics I'm not referring to the bulky, puffy and round physique of bodybuilders. Rather I'm talking about the dense, hard and angular looking natural physique with broad thick shoulders and upper back muscles, square masculine chest, rock hard arms, slim waist and athletic legs. This is a meaty guide, so feel [...]
One question I hear all the time is: "How long will it take me to get ripped?" I remember that I asked the very same question myself back when I first got started with my fitness journey. I think that all of us want to know at some point how long the journey will be. So, how long does it take to get ripped? It takes as long as it's [...]
When I started my fitness journey back in 2015 I had the skinny fat physique. I had fat covering my abs and hips making them appear wide, while I also had narrow shoulders with low levels of muscle mass. First I thought that in order to fix this problem I simply had to do a lot of cardio and that should melt the fat away... So, what happened? Should You [...]
Have you ever wondered why some days you look and feel fat and other days you look and feel skinny? This happens to me all the time and it's extremely common amongst almost all of us.
