In the quest for more muscle, we often get caught up in the craziest approaches to training, all for another pound of muscle or a few extra reps.
Think about it; I know you’ve tried some of the crazy techniques, like the twenty four-hour arm training program or the one-set-to-failure method. Heck, why wouldn’t you? Anything that is different from the normal routine can help you to grow.
The problems start when we get too far away from the basic premises that dictate how much we can grow.
Before looking at any intensity technique, you must ask yourself a few questions:
Are you getting stronger every workout, through more weight, more reps, or more reps with the same weight?
Are you sticking with a program for a certain number of weeks? Whi

Just a quick post for my Ottawa readers.
Saturday October 2nd, to help raise money for breast cancer research, my office’s 3 stellar personal trainers (Kelly, Katie and Phil) are donating their time and expertise in the hopes that you’ll donate your money and in so doing buy yourself a great workout.
The workouts will be one-on-one training sessions taking place here at BMI and we’ll be charging $20 (cash) for a 30 minute session with ALL proceeds going towards BMI’s Run for the Cure team effort. Read the full article…

You may have heard about Mike and Molly. It’s a new sitcom about two morbidly obese overeaters who meet at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting and fall in love. It’s directed by veteran sitcom guy James Burrows (Laverne and Shirley, Taxi, Cheers, Frasier, Friends, Will and Grace and many more) and I counted 23 explicitly fat jokes in the 20 minute series premiere.
The sitcom itself, aside from the fat focus, is pretty formulaic and nothing to write home about.
But what about the fat jokes?
To be honest, I’m not sure what to think.

Since its origin fifteen to twenty years ago, DC Training has slowly matured as a muscle-building system, steadily picking up positive buzz, a fast-growing group of new advocates (in both number and body mass), and a more solid rep over the years. With pros like David Henry, Mark Dugdale, and fast-rising amateur Dusty Hanshaw talking about DC Training, that growth doesn’t seem to be leveling off any time soon.
Originally discussed by its developer, Dante Trudel, in his mid-nineties newsletter Hardcore Muscle, the system was christened DoggCrapp Training when Trudel, responding to a topic on a bodybuilding website, chose the tragically memorable screen-name “DoggCrapp.”
What was meant as a singular post has turned into a monolithic triple-digit page-count thread and an unexpectedly long-lived moniker. As th

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA — ACAC Fitness & Wellness Center is adding a new club in Richmond, VA, its second facility in that city. The club company also has one club in West Chester, PA, and four in Charlottesville, VA, where the company is headquartered.
Phil Wendel, founder of ACAC, says that all of the companys locations have fared well during the recession of the past two years in terms of revenue growth, income growth and sales growth. He attributes that to the companys ability to attract non-traditional exercisers and to its physician referral network, which it has had in place since 2004.
