Hells yes Tom, I LOVE my basement gym! I have a rack and lotsa free weights, and a few accessories. I can add all the crazy training toys I want, use chalk, grunt, play my own music, and I never have to wait for equipment! Now I have a few friends that want to be training partners so they can use my home gym. Good…

I'm not an either-or person... focus on both! Hit your calories AND your protein. Remember, when in a deficit you can be a little less strict with your food choices, but when in a calorie surplus you want to eat clean (ie: clean bulk) to avoid excess fat gain with your muscle. It's the opposite of what many think (ie:…

Damn, that sounds kinda nuts. I think cute IS sexy! There's for sure different kinds of sexy. IMO sex isn't the main thing in a relationship, but it sure is important! There are times when my wife and I get so damn busy and tired (run our own businesses and have an awesome, active daughter) that we don't have sex as much,…

Agreed! Notice most of the comments on here suggesting "fasted" exercise are very lean and fit (at least in their photos). Take the advice!

Amen... listen to this guy as well; at least re: training on an empty stomach. True that carbs pre-workout will replenish glycogen for more workout "energy", but if you want to train your body to use fat as the primary fuel source go without food and eat right after. Trust me. Tough the first few times but your body will…

Who says you need to eat before a workout? If your goal is fat metabolism then empty stomach is ideal. Favorable for GH / insulin levels ... fat cells are more "vulnerable". It's all the strength coaches saying to eat before training because it improves performance... true, if you eat before you will be able to train…

Hey everyone, I'm a personal trainer in Toronto... used to have a really hard time gaining weight but through consistent effort, hard training, and grossly overeating, I managed to gain some good weight, strength, and a gut. When I hit 40 years old this became a real issue, so I dedicated myself to getting completely…

Add me too... I'll be back in action on here now and I could use a bigger friend circle here too!
