TESTOSTERONE NATION: Beast Building, Part 1
3 Months to Personal Bests and New Found Thickness
by Christian Thibaudeau

"Recently, I said that I hated writing articles giving out specific programs. I feel that as a coach it's a much better approach to explain concepts and techniques, rather than just giving out the application.

Well, I'm about to contradict myself. Because this article is the first installment of a three-part series that'll turn you into a thick, dense, and rugged beast in three short months. Get ready to need bigger shirts and more plates."

Get Lean and Toned, Not Bulky!: Sets and Reps - Long or Short Rest Periods?

People don't think enough about the amount of rest needed in between sets. Different amounts of rest are needed for a strength workout vs. a mass building workout. The same goes for the amount of pause in between each rep. Doing non-stop reps affects your muscles in a much different way than pausing a second in between each rep.

Francesco Casillo - How To Diet All Year Long Successfully Without Starving!: By: Francesco Casillo

As I mentioned in my first article about fat loss, nutrition is the real key to unleashing the effectiveness of aerobic exercise as well as weight training. In this article I'm going to write about the general nutrition principles that you should follow in order to have a muscular and well defined physique. These principles are based on what physiology states on the matter and/or my personal experience with them.

The Velocity Diet: "The Velocity Diet
A Radical Experiment in Rapid Fat Loss
by Chris Shugart


Warning: The diet outlined below is experimental. If you're looking to lose fat slowly but surely in a comfortable manner, there are several proven plans available in the T-Nation Diet Program section. If, however, you're looking for a way to quickly rip fat off your body, regardless of difficulty, the Velocity Diet may be for you. It's certainly not for everybody.


Do the Opposite

I see fat people. Everywhere I look, gluttony, excess and sluggishness. We are a nation suffocating from body fat. It makes me sick.

Fat has become the norm. Look around. 'Normal' people are largely unhappy, overweight and unsuccessful. Screw. That. The last thing I want to be is average, especially if 'average' means being obese.

Successful people make a habit of doing the opposite. If normal people don't lift weights, then do the opposite and lift weights. If normal people don't take risks, then take risks. If they're afraid to say certain things, then scream those things at the top of your lungs. And finally, if normal people are fat, rise above and be lean."
