Don’t be afraid of eggs! Eggs are a perfect source of protein, providing an array of powerful brain nutrients, easily digested amino acids, and other vitamins that are vital for wellness.

Despite being one of the most nutrient-rich foods on the planet, eggs are often demonized since they are a very misunderstood food. The supposed ill effects of eggs have been equated with cigarette smoking, “the road to hell,” and “one foot in the grave” by uninformed individuals.

Is there any chance eating eggs is truly so dangerous to your health and quality of life?

If you read Part #1, you were either able to confirm the soundness of your current program, or you realized that you have been making some big mistakes which needed to be corrected. In Part #2, we will round out the top 12 most common roadblocks to muscle growth by touching on subjects every BB’r should be thoroughly aware of. With that said, let’s pick up right where we left off…

7.) Failing to establish a mind-muscle connection during training

This is something that needs to be gradually learned through repetitive experience, rather than taught from a book. The problem is that many BB’rs never really learn how to establish a strong mind-muscle connection because they’re too busy focusing on the wrong things. BB’ing training is not about moving the weight from Point A to Point B, doing as many reps as you can within a set, or using as much weight as possible. There is only one goal when it comes to BB’ing training– to stimulate the target muscle. Anything which takes away from this objective is a liability and will only hold back your progress.

This month I decided to take a break from the typical PED laden monologue which characterizes the majority of my writings and revert back to the basics. In our search for ever-increasing knowledge, any of us can find ourselves beginning to neglect the fundamentals in favor of the details. It’s the nature of the beast, but as with all things in life, a periodic re-evaluation of our priorities can help ensure we stay on the right track. The basics are the basics for a reason…because they form the foundation on which everything else stands, without which we simply end up spinning our wheels. For those of you who are well-versed on this thing called BB’ing, you will find this to be more of a re-fresher course, but for those who are still new to this game, pay attention, as your ability to implement and adhere to the following guidelines will mean the difference between getting big and staying small.

Do you ever get super sore from training?
Do you use post-workout soreness as a gauge of your progress?
Despite the pain it causes, many people accept delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) as a valuable indicator of having trained hard and thrashed their muscles. They assume soreness means they are building muscle and getting stronger.

It’s logical, but not necessarily so.

Plus, DOMS makes your muscles feel ill, impairs strength for days, and compromises athletic performance. Whether DOMS is indicative of effective training or not, it’s worthwhile to try to prevent it because along with being painful, it keeps you from training as regularly as you would like, often to the point of diminishing returns.

One of the most common question I’m asked is “what should I do for a first cycle?” The questions are; “what steroid should I take?” “How long should I take it?” and “What will the effects be?” There are literally dozens of steroids available and that makes it difficult for a first time user to choose. The following information will attempt to provide enough information for a first time user to make an educated decision about anabolic androgenic steroid use.

Testosterone is one of the most effective, safe and available steroids today, therefore I believe Testosterone is the best first cycle choice. The following text outlines the benefits and risks of Testosterone administration based on a clinical human trial of 61 healthy men in 2001. The purpose of the trial was to determine the dose dependency of testosterone’s effects on fat-free mass and muscle performance. In this trial 61 men, 18-35years old were randomized into 5 groups receiving weekly injections of 25, 50, 125, 300, 600 mg of Testosterone Enanthate for 20 weeks.

Contrary to popular belief, you can make mass gains without also putting a lot of fat on your gut. Here’s how to get the best results from your winter bulking plan!

Summer is winding down and the cold weather is on its way. You know what that means: It’s bulking season! And, as everyone knows, drug-free bodybuilders have to get fat to put on muscle, right? Wrong!

The truth is that packing on fat can actually be counterproductive to your long-term progress. Assuming your end goal is a big, lean, aesthetic physique, then that fat is going to have to come off eventually. So why waste time and energy putting it on in the first place? The more fat you have, the longer you’ll have to diet.
