How Much Protein Should You Eat to Build Muscle...And Why?

This is a controversial topic, and depending on who you ask you will see some wildly varying answers. On the low end you have the RDA, which for me would be about 68 grams of protein per day, and on the high end you have bodybuilders who would tell a guy like me to eat 380 or more grams per day. So from 68 to 390 grams...that's a huge difference. Why is there such a big difference there?

The TRUTH About Rapid Fat Loss

This week I'm going to share the TRUTH about rapid fat loss. First of all let's just clarify WHY this is important. It's important because weight loss is a journey.

The better you know where you're going and how long it's going to take to get there...the more likely you are to succeed in reaching your destination.

5 Muscle-Building Supplements You SHOULD Be Using

Supplements are one of the most OVERrated things you can do for your health. We tend to associate taking vitamins with being healthy...but the truth is that popping a pill is, at best, a stopgap. A way to fill in the "nutritional cracks" in your diet. So I want start by sharing my philosophy on supplements, which is this... Only supplement with nutrients that meet these 2 qualifications: First, it should be something you can't realistically get from your diet. This rules out most common vitamins and minerals. It's better to get your nutrients from real food. And second, it should be a nutrient that you KNOW is PROVEN to be effective. This rules out nearly all muscle-building supplements, which aren't worth taking because they simply don't work well enough to make a measurable impact for the vast majority of us. That said, taking the right supplements can make a big difference in your health and your performance at the gym. So without further ado, here are the 5 supplements that ARE worth your time.

Weight Loss Is Not A Destination What you have to realize is that your body isn’t something you ACHIEVE, and then it’s done… Your body is something you LIVE WITH. You don’t just lose weight, and then you’re a skinny… And now you can forget about diet and exercise and focus on other stuff. No. It stays with you. It becomes a part of your life. Or it doesn’t last. Losing weight, building muscle, getting ripped, getting in shape, getting healthy, building a body you can feel good about and proud of… These things are not DESTINATIONS in life. They’re journeys. Read the "Weight Loss Is A Winding Road" article here. Watch the "Weight Loss Is A Winding Road" video here.

Bodyweight Exercises for Strength

Bodyweight Exercises for Strength: A Complete Full-Body Workout You Can Do At Home === Bodyweight exercises have a lot going for them...but they have one BIG drawback: It's much more difficult to increase the difficulty as you get stronger. Take bench press vs push ups. If you want to make bench press more difficult, you just add more weight--simple, right? But if you want to make push-ups more difficult, how do you do THAT? Most people just add more reps. So if they did 30 push ups before, now they do 40. The problem with this is that doing 20, 30, 40+ reps of an exercise changes the focus. You're no longer training for strength. You're now training for endurance. And training for endurance is NOT the way to build bigger, stronger muscles. ====================== That's why I created this bodyweight workout routine. This full-body routine hits all your major muscles with 5 fundamental and brutally effective moves: * Squat * Pull Ups * Push Ups * Overhead Press * Leg Raises But what really sets this workout apart is the variations. Instead of just doing regular old air squats, I show you 5 variations on the move so you can make it more and more difficult over time--as you get stronger. Each move has 5-6 variations so you can progress from beginner all the way up to intermediate/advanced strength... All from the comfort of your own home. To read the accompanying blog post, which includes links to the 2 pieces of equipment I recommend, head on over here: Exercises for strength blog post. Exercises for strength video.

Learning how to reduce stress and live in the present moment is no luxury. In this day & age, it's a necessity. After all, there's no question that stress is now a full-blown worldwide epidemic.

Throw out your phone, cancel your email accounts, and quit your job? If only. No, the truth is that email, smartphones, jobs, and all those other sources of stress aren't going away anytime soon. In fact, the number of tools, apps, and gadgets is growing faster than ever. Which means that if you're going to take control over the stress in your life, you're going to have to find a way to do it without giving up on modern technology.
