Has your current routine stopped yielding results? This is very common in fitness and bodybuilding. Many times we are so wrapped up in follow a specific plan or weight loss routine that we do not stop and think about challenging our bodies in new ways. Actually, if you do not continually update and mix in new exercises everyone will hit a plateau at some point. A plateau is when you stop seeing results, the scale will not budge, and you start to lose hope, but this does not have to be the case. With some simple changes in diet and…

Couch Potato Blitz: Week 8 NFL Week 8 pick’em time is here! If anything, week 7 taught me to expect the unexpected when making my selections this week. I was a disappointed 7-7 bringing my season total to 66-38 – still better than most of these so-called experts I see. Allow me to stray away from the NFL for sec and be a little “Negative Norman.” Week 8 lands on Halloween this year making me very upset. Instead of watching the Saints and Steelers, I will be trick or treating with my son. For grown men in a relationship, Halloween…

Good posture is not only essential for day-to-day activities but also during weight training. When one part of your body is out of alignment then another part has to compensate, creating an increased risk for injury, decreased efficiency in performance, and a muscle imbalance throughout the body. Over training can lead to poor posture. For example, if one over trains the chest muscles (which usually means under trained back muscles), the result is rounded shoulders. Physical therapists call this upper cross syndrome. So what is “good posture?” The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) defines good posture as, “the state of…

So I was pushed towards an article about the DEA coming down on issues within The Controlled Substance Act, which its purpose is to protect against abuse. This is a good thing because Narcotics , such as Percocet, Oxycontin, Fentanyl , and morphine, as well as many benzos, such as Xanax , are killing people every year, even young people. But when this organizations start bending the rules , and actually start taking the needed the medicine out of the hands of the sick and injured, especially the geriatric community ( the actual people that need it the most and…

We know him as the Football Analyst that always has something to say about EVERYTHING. Now he has something to say about his own steroid use. From Espnstar.com: “We did steroids to get away the aches and the speed of healing,” Bradshaw said. “My use of steroids from a doctor was to speed up injury, and (I) thought nothing of it. It was to speed up the healing process, that was it. It wasn’t to get bigger and stronger and faster.” The No. 1 overall pick in the draft in 1970, Bradshaw also said he took the steroids with a doctor’s prescription.Steroids were not…

This has several benefits. The colon is fully cleansed of old undigested food, and when the abundant phytonutrients in the fruit and vegetables nourish the body with nutrition,…

Isn’t Nike in the business of selling sneakers and athletic gear? Nike has managed to conquer the globe with its products and leaving its signature Swoosh everywhere. They also happen to be a world-wide leader in image resurrection with their latest venture being the new LeBron James commercial, “What should I do?” Again this is Nike showing us their prowess in the public relations ring. Nike’s leading man took a huge hit in his fairing with fans after deciding to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat — mostly in the way he made his “decision” to leave the…

Here we go again! The baby is two weeks old, and it’s time to get back to the gym. It’s also time to start my counting calories and working my calorie cycle plan. Here goes! The Numbers I believe that goals should be SMART — Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Reasonable, and Time-bound. Because of that, I believe in demonstrating accountability with concrete numbers and not making excuses when I screw up. At two weeks postpartum the scale said 191.2. Tuesday was my birthday, and we went out to dinner. I made good choices in general, but the (cough) martini and salt…
