An Intense Full Body Workout Routine for Men

This is a workout that was crafted for beginners, and so it uses some pretty simple exercises to get you going. However, that's not to say that it isn't intense! Also, the title calls it a workout routine for men, but really women can give it a shot as well. This is a great workout routine for the gym, and you should shoot for 3 times per week, with an off day in between...

High Calorie Foods to Compliment Your Exercise Routine

High calorie food consumption goes hand in hand with an intense exercise routine, and that statement is doubly true for hardgainers. I've had a few posts on here lately that deal specifically with hardgainers because I think there's no such thing as a "true" hardgainer. Calling yourself that just makes you think you have a reason for not gaining muscle mass. Well, remember...

In a previous post entitled A Gym Exercise Routine for Hardgainers that Actually Works we went over an intense, incremental workout for hardgainers who are getting fed up with their lack of results. It's a good exercise routine to be sure, but it's not going to do a whole lot without a proper eating plan. There's only one goal we're going to shoot for during this workout...

Are You Eating Right to Maximize Your Bodybuilding Workouts?

The bodybuilder diet is probably one of the toughest ways to eat out there. You need to toss down at least 6 meals every day, you need to shop for and cook all that food, weigh your portions, and calculate the right number of calories to experience muscle gain. Simple stuff, right? Okay, maybe not. I'm just realizing how much trouble people often have with their diets...

A Gym Exercise Routine for Hardgainers that Actually Works

I spent some time in a post yesterday explaining how the term "hardgainer" is often a fallback for anyone who has trouble putting on weight. I honestly believe that anybody can build muscle mass, and if you think that you are a "true" hardgainer, do me a favor and stick to this gym exercise routine, then tell me you haven't gained anything. As always keep your food intake...

A Daily Exercise Routine for Hardgainers

Let me just say one thing before we get started here: You are NOT a hardgainer. The word hardgainer is a fallback term used by people who haven't been seeing results. With the right type of daily exercise routine and a proper eating plan, you will gain muscle.

The 100 Rep Shocker Arm Exercise Routine

Most people who work out tend to stick to the 8-10 rep limit for their sets, so talking about a 100 rep set might seem a little crazy. Now, most of the time you're going to want to stick to that. 8-10 reps is an excellent number for frequent workouts. But once in awhile, blasting through a 100 rep set will sort of "shock" your body into action, leading to increased weight...

Drinking and Exercise: How Do They Really Stack?

A few weeks ago I put a post on here about smoking and exercise, taking a look at how they really measure up to each other. Not surprisingly, I got a lot of emails saying something along the lines of "Of course they don't go together. You should never smoke period, let alone with exercise!" Well, yeah, it does seem pretty obvious, but what about alcohol? First of...

Relief from Chronic and Acute Pain Due to Sports Injuries?

It's hard to work out when you're in pain, and really you shouldn't even be trying. Both chronic and acute pain can come from a myriad of different types of sports injuries, and even more that are caused by other conditions, but which could be exacerbated by sports. In this community, getting injured is the last thing you want to do- it can be a career ender. But sometimes...
