How to Use the Smart Scale the Right Way
Homepage
Having a scale was always a crucial part of any weight loss plan. Back in the day, the only tool available were standard analog scales. Sure, they still performed as intended, but their use was limited at best. Fortunately for us, there are much better tools available to us today. Smart scales are starting to dominate the market and are becoming an integral part of professional weight loss plans. However, while getting a smart scale is easy, many are having issues with learning how to use the smart scale the right way!

Help! I'm A Hard Gainer
Homepage
Question

Anyway, recently I bought some weight gainer (Mass xxx… or whatever the GNC brand is).. Will this help me much? I’m trying to consume about 3,000 calories a day right now.

Day 3: Military press, side shoulder raises, upright rows, and biceps curls.
Day 5: abs/legs? (I usually skip this day because don’t know what to do for legs…)

Destroying The Biggest Myth In Weight Training
Homepage
I’ve been in the iron game for over 20 years and I’ve heard just about every negative and ignorant comment that has to do with weight training. Believe me, there are a lot.
I don’t necessarily agree with these sentiments, but I can understand where they’re coming from. You see, for a lot of us, we have a hard time accepting hard truths about something we don’t really understand. The average joe just doesn’t understand what weight training is really about nor does he care. Ask your average, out of shape person what they think weight ..read more

Homepage
Now it’s time to take a closer look at the proper workout program structure to be using to optimize your recovery. If you design your workout well, you will naturally have better recovery because you will be working the muscle groups at the right frequency level, performing a good level of volume each workout session (that doesn’t hammer your body deep into the muscular damage hole), and you will be giving your body the down time it needs each week.
Let’s look at the set-up points to take into account.
