the skinny fat man, not a huge fan of sprints.
The skinny fat man…
Boyish shoulders that hang ever so gingerly over the budding bitch tits, and the tire that hangs an inch or two over his belt. A belt that still deceptively holds firm around 32-34 inches. He can hide his ‘details’ under a few extra layers, but his frame hasn’t changed since he was 15.
The ectomorphic physique. The desire to build muscle has led him to eat the wrong kinds of calories, train in the wrong manner, and follow the wrong advice. His fault? No, not at all.
The advice this skinny fat man follows dominates muscle building and fat burning literature. These were the options presented to him, what was he supposed to do? So he diets, runs for hours, and is left with a forgettable physique. His confidence and pride exist, but it pails in comparison to what it would be had he taken a different path.

At it’s base, training can be broken down into 4 categories:
1. Powerlifting
2. Cardiovascular Training
3. Olympic-Lifting
4. Bodybuilding
You could also add in training for athleticism, but that would be more of a hybrid of all of the above. When you’re training to improve your athleticism, you’re training for athletic power (Olympic Lifting), you’re training to improve your lung capacity and endurance (cardiovascular training), you’re training for strength (powerlifting), and you’re trying to build muscle (bodybuilding).
Hypertrophy is the increase in size of muscle cells. There are a number of theories as to which form of hypertrophy training is the most effective. Some say that focusing on a rep count is best – usually around 8-12 reps – others say that time under tension (TUT) is what you should be focusing on within each set, while others feel that it’s the total TUT of the workout that’s most important, not just the set.
No matter what your theory, you need variation to see consistent gains.
Three cups of Green Tea a day has been shown to help with muscle recovery.
I get a ton of questions about pre-workout nutrition, post workout nutrition, what I use as far as supplements are concerned and so forth. So, I figured I’d answer all of those emails with one awesome blog post
You’ve heard it from me a lot; that the hour before, during, and after your workout are the 3 most important hours of your day – when you’re training of course. Well, here’s exactly how mine go. Meals and supplements included.
Pre Workout
I usually lift at around 5 o’clock with a buddy or two. An hour before I head to the gym I’ll be eating my pre-workout meal. This meal consists of high proteins, slow carbs, with some fats thrown in there as well. This is usually a meal where I eat my left-overs from the night before.
I don’t have a ton of time to prepare a meal, so I want what’s fast, healthy, and ready to be consumed. I’ll have a portion of protein (steak, chicken, lean pork, fish, ground beef), a portion of carbohydrates (whole wheat pasta, brown rice, veggies), and some fats as well (could be the steak or fish, fish oils, or nuts such as almonds or walnuts).
