    Methods for gaining muscle and losing fat

    The use of stimulants like Adderall is not a long term solution to losing weight and getting in shape. Stop taking stimulants for a month or two and then see what happens to your weight. You'll blow back up in no time just from the rebound effect, even if your diet is in check. If you require...

    How to Become a Better Version of Yourself in 7 Days

    I agree with that. And given the myriad of doctors that are now offering hormone replacement therapy these days (look for ads in any men's magazine), getting one's hormones optimized shouldn't really be that big of a problem if that's a primary concern.

    Methods for gaining muscle and losing fat

    I think the real key is making small changes to your daily routine on a weekly basis that ultimately add up to being significant over time. Too many people try to change everything at once in the very beginning and it all just seems so overwhelming very quickly, so they eventually just quit. I...

    Methods for gaining muscle and losing fat

    I started off with a whole body workout 3 times per week, with one set to failure per body part per workout. That was a pretty efficient workout for a beginner but I eventually hit a plateau with that. Then I went completely to the other side and started doing a high volume split workout...

    Methods for gaining muscle and losing fat

    6 sets to failure per week per body part. I wouldn't say I really focus on either. I incorporate both when possible. But you're right, your exercise choices are pretty limited on body parts like calves and forearms.

    Methods for gaining muscle and losing fat

    I am 5' 10" and I weigh about 188 in that photo. My ultimate goal is to get to a lean 200 lbs. Actually, most people that see me in person think I'm already over 200 but the scale says something different. My workout splits are different that what you may have seen before. Monday - Upper...

    Thanks. I have to balance out the nerdiness with some physical activity. Otherwise, I go freakin' insane.

    Methods for gaining muscle and losing fat

    So I just turned 40 and I recently bulked up and then dieted back down to see what I was left with. I ended up with about 7 or 8 pounds more muscle this time over a period of about 6 months. I still feel like I could have done a little better, but I will try again for sure. :)

    The best wine, champagne, beer or mixed drink

    My family heritage is Scottish, but oddly enough, I have been unable to develop a palette for Scotch. I've tried probably 5 or 6 times in the past but it just never did anything for me. Maybe I just haven't found the right one.

    The best wine, champagne, beer or mixed drink

    I bought some Woodford Reserve today. It's very nice and smooth but to me the Eagle Rare has more character and depth to it. I'm smoking some beef brisket and a couple boston butts tomorrow, and I'll be using some of that Woodford for an apple-bourbon bbq sauce I'm whipping up. :)

    The best wine, champagne, beer or mixed drink

    I'm always in the pursuit of finding a new drink to enjoy. Post what your all-time favorite wine, champagne, beer, or mixed drink is. It could very well be something expensive, but it certainly doesn't have to be. I drink quite a bit of red wine and I love full-bodied Napa Cabs and...
