With YouTube fast becoming the number one source of information in modern society, the amount of bad information and flat out incorrect information is at an all-time high. Brainwashed pro-vegan YouTuber’s are at the top of the misinformation heap. In an attempt to dispel some of the nutritional claims members of this diet make, I will break down the fallacies of several reasons they promote this diet, which more closely resembles a cult than a diet.

Science has done a lot for bodybuilding. Advancements in nutritional knowledge have changed the landscape of how we manipulate our bodies and the world of supplements has proven to be a game changer. I feel confident that our understanding of how foods affect our bodies has only moved us forward and proven to be a solely positive thing, at least in the potential for positive use.

First and as commonly known, to become a competitive bodybuilder at a high level you need the fundamentals of eating essential foods, maintaining a solid supplements plan, and following a good training schedule. However, there is one factor which is not talked about too often and that’s the mental work ethics. To reach the higher levels of bodybuilding you must possess the right mindset, including the “fearless approach” of training with heavy weights. This is a major key.

Competitive Pro Bodybuilding is undergoing some serious transformations at this point in time. The open division has been critiqued for more than ten years by a vast majority of the bodybuilding community. And we all know the opinions of the critique such as “Lacks in conditioning,” “Distended bellies,” “The 90’s was so much better,” “No real work ethic,” and the beat goes on.

The evolution of fitness and bodybuilding culture has changed rapidly over the last decades. The old hardcore training mindset is decreasing in favor of sluggish compulsory mentalities where smartphones have to be checked between, and even during sets. In addition to the degrading gym culture, the classical and more personalized gyms are disappearing year by year.

When the outside world perceives the sport of bodybuilding and its competitors, one of their first thoughts is always, “STEROIDS!” The general misconception derives from seeing this ‘out of the ordinary huge and muscular guy’ and not realizing the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice behind all that muscle. They don’t see the blood, sweat and tears comprised of a 24-hour lifestyle, eating every 2nd or 3rd hour, 6-10 meals a day, training 5-6 days a week, sometimes even two sessions per day, plus additional cardio.

Bodybuilding’s Indomitable Rebel – GREGG VALENTINO

Let’s not beat around the bush here, I’d like to come out immediately and say how much I value my friendship to BOTH Gregg Valentino and Joe Pietaro. This article isn’t about Gregg’s departure from Muscle Sport Mag, at least not any more than it’s about his departure from Muscular Development – both are old news of varying degrees. This article is about a very unique individual who’s liked and respected by athletes from several eras, members of the press, and MOST importantly by the FANS. No one can get Gregg to say what they want, wear the clothes they tell him to, or perform tricks for treats like some kind of an industry lap dog.

It’s really easy to be enthusiastic about bodybuilding. Anyone reading this can relate to getting bitten by “the bug” as we call it, and we know tons of guys in the gym who would have you believe they are all in for the bodybuilding lifestyle. With the meteoric rise of social media, you are able to display whatever version of yourself you wish to display. Post a pic of a fish and rice meal, a few gym selfies talking about “killing it”, and people on your friends list can’t help but think that is who you are.

Legs aren’t the toughest body part to grow, but they do require some dedication. Not everyone enjoys training legs, especially since the day after and a set of stairs can be a challenge. Disregarding the bitching out, if you truly want to add size to your legs, suck it up and train your legs top to bottom!

The Great Debate: Fat vs Sugar

  • 5 min read

by Matt Weik

Once upon a time people who roamed the earth would eat food to sustain energy and to survive. They didn’t have the luxury of half-gallons of ice cream, bags of potato chips, French fries, and beer. But all those things taste great, right? True. But our mentality has shifted from the days of survival to the days of comfort. American’s sit down and eat to fulfill an emotional need. At gatherings people stand around a bunch of food that most people probably aren’t hungry for and they eat anyway to be social. This is one of the many reasons why such a large percentage of American’s are overweight or obese.
