Bodybuilding.com – HIIT Can Get You Huge, Especially If You Are A …

I’m a lot less naive than I was a year ago. I’m still naive enough to believe that I can explain something very few people might be able to understand.br /
br /
I’m writing and rewriting this article over and over again. Countless forms of the same damn thing. In the end it always ends up being way too long, veering off into several directions.br /

This is a fool’s errand, I realise. I give up. I’m just going to hope that you take it for what it is – an honest account from my side of the fence.nbsp;After all. nbsp;I can’t be doing the same thing over and over again, and expect a different result – can I? No. That’s the definition of insanity.br /

If you read Part 2 of this series you will have a solid action plan to get your metabolism back to normal levels. In the process, you may add a touch of body fat, but will be in a much stronger position to get lean for summer. This post will outline how to keep your metabolism healthy while systematically getting in shape for summer.
[By the time summer hits, the ideal situation is to be lean without destroying your body’s ability to burn calories. In other words, lean with a high metabolism.]
Long-Term Low Calorie Diets Suck the Life Out of You

A lot of people can look their best after a short term aggressive diet. I’m not against short term low calorie diets. I believe they are fine for 1-3 months. The problem happens when they are extended past that point. It is pretty easy to miss out on vital nutrients […]

pFor today#8217;s edition of a title=”Dear Mark” href=”http://www.marksdailyapple.com/category/dear-mark/”Dear Mark/a, we#8217;ve got a quick three-parter. First, I briefly cover periodization training, explaining how and why I think everyone participates in it (even if they don#8217;t know it yet). Next up is a question about my ideal garden. Now, I#8217;m no gardener, but I do have some ideas about what kinds of food I#8217;d like to grow. I give my personal list of calorie-dense and nutrient-dense produce (green thumbs, criticism is welcome). Finally, I discuss the difference #8211; if any actually exists #8211; between #8220;real#8221; and #8220;neuromuscular#8221; strength./p

John Romaniello Zombie Apocalypse Survival Workout Review …

pimg class=”alignright” alt=”step2 7″ src=”http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg158/MDA2008/MDA%202011/step2-7.jpg” width=”320″ height=”226″ title=”step2 7 photo” /As if slow-cooked, tender, succulent pork wasn’t tempting enough, carnitas takes it one step further by caramelizing the pork in its own a title=”Animal Fat” href=”http://www.marksdailyapple.com/yet-another-primal-primer-animal-fats/”fat/a until the outside is perfectly browned and crisp. The crispy, tender morsels of pork that come out of the oven are hard to resist; it’s not unusual to eat so much meat right out of the pan that you’re full before the carnitas make it to the table./p
pCooking meat that is both tender and crispy might sound tricky but the only trick to making carnitas is getting out of the way so the meat can cook itself. The less you intervene, the better. Seasoned pork is braised in a pot of water until the meat is tender and the water is gone. Then the pork fat takes over, essentially frying the meat into […]

I’ve started a new experiment.
This one is a workout experiment where I will stop counting my reps for the next 6 weeks.
Why do such a silly thing?
For starters, I’m very attached to analytical training. If you’ve seen Anabolic Again, then you know I rely heavily upon percentage maxes, specific rep ranges, and specific rep progressions in my program design.
However, I’m also a fan of getting the best results possible while doing as little as possible.  Eat Stop Eat is a perfect example. After all, fasting is getting results from doing nothing.
So when it comes to nutrition I’m not a proponent of weighing every bite you eat or tracking your food on some spread sheet, but when it comes to exercise I tracked EVERYTHING.
So in a sense, my exercise approach and nutrition approach are almost polar opposites.
I’ve also noticed a negative to rep counting. I rely on them too heavily.
I […]
