There is no Rule about Working Out

February 12, 2013 By johnbarban

The idea of going to a gym and working out might be difficult for some people to start because there is no rule to follow, nobody forcing you to do it, no major socio-economic problem if you don't go (not an immediately obvious one...as in you won't get a fine or ticket or lose out on a pay check for not going to the gym). Most of us start life in some sort of school … [Read more...] about There is no Rule about Working Out

For Weight loss: Do more, Read Less

November 9, 2012 By johnbarban

It seems somewhat ironic that when deciding what to do for weight loss the more you attempt to "learn" and read about it the more confused and less obvious what action it is you should take. I just received an email from someone who started AGD and has successfully lost 7lbs in the first two weeks. This is great progress and should be more than enough proof and motivation that … [Read more...] about For Weight loss: Do more, Read Less

There are no Fat Hero’s

July 4, 2011 By johnbarban

So I'm waiting at a stop light and I notice what appears to be a big guy walking down the sidewalk. There are a bunch of cars in the way so I can only make out his calves, and his hands. Calves are pretty big, and hands and forearms also appear to be a good size. I can catch the rough tempo and style of his gait, and then it hits me. I can't tell if this guy is overly fat, … [Read more...] about There are no Fat Hero’s

What the F#*K are You Doing?

March 7, 2011 By johnbarban

This is the question I end up asking myself at least a dozen times every day I'm at the gym. I normally go about my business and don't say much to anybody unless my good buddies are there. I listen to music or podcasts and just do my own thing. As I'm resting between sets I scan the gym and just watch what other people are doing, and without fail, every single time, I … [Read more...] about What the F#*K are You Doing?

My Check up Results Are In

March 17, 2010 By johnbarban

A couple weeks ago I went for a check up and got a bunch of blood work done and now the results are in...so I'm going to share them with you. I got all kinds of different blood markers tested...I haven't had a chance to look up all of them yet, but I'll go over the major ones we all kinda know about here. Fasting Glucose: 4.7 (normal range is 3.9 - 5.5) Cholesterol … [Read more...] about My Check up Results Are In

How Much Protein Is In An Egg?

Eggs are an excellent source of protein and relatively cheap too. They have a very high biological value and a full complement of essential and non-essential amino acids. In short, if you wanted a complete and easy to absorb protein source look no further than eggs. With that said there are a few considerations you […]

Weight Loss Fallacies: 2lbs per week and 1200 calories per day

I received an email the other day that sums up how popular diet/fitness misinformation can leave people frustrated, upset, angry and eventually to flat out give up on the idea of getting in shape. So the email went something like this: “I just read your book and it says my RMR is approx 1250 calories. […]

Steroid Muscle vs Natural Muscle

So I guess the general theme this week is “hormones”. So the next topic that we’re going to cover was sent in by Jason and this is about steroid muscle vs natural muscle. This is a tricky topic because most celebrities, athletes and bodybuilders don’t admit or disclose the drugs they use so it’s hard […]

Eugen Sandow vs Arnold Schwarzenegger - Gold Standard Bodybuilders before and after steroids were discovered

A Steroid Free Bodybuilder You Can Trust – Eugen Sandow

Here is a good comparison picture of Eugen Sandow vs Arnold Schwarzenegger. Eugen Sandow is known as the first real bodybuilder and gained international fame for doing the first bodybuilding style poses for crowds of people. The interesting thing is that he died 10 years before testosterone was discovered… so you know he could have […]

Bodyfat Distribution Patterns

Body fat is distributed all over your body but it’s not an even distribution. For example there is a at least a little bit of fat stored in places like your forehead and the back of your hands, but obviously this isn’t a major fat storage site. For men the main site of fat storage […]

Can You Workout Through Muscle Soreness?

Question: Can I still workout if my muscles are sore? Answer: It Depends. I get this question all the time about working out through muscle soreness and the answer is that it depends. Depends on how sore your muscles really are, depends on what you’re planning on doing in the gym while you feel this […]

Danger Metabolism Slowing Ahead

Unless you have a degree in human biology …and in many cases even if you do… you do not understand what “metabolism” means. This word gets thrown around the fitness and diet media and is used to scare people into thinking there is a dangerous level of calories that will destroy their metabolism. This of […]

Using Growth Hormone For Fat Loss

Growth Hormone is a commonly abused drug in the bodybuilding culture. Although it’s name might make you think it is primarily responsible for muscle growth, it is actually used to help with recovery and above all, fat burning. In order to burn fat your body needs to have high growth hormone levels and low insulin levels. […]

How To Gain 1 Pound of FAT!

This past weekend was thanksgiving for us folks up in Canada. (I have no idea why we have a different date for this…actually, I don’t even know why we celebrate it…but whatever.) Anyway, needless to say there was lots of food and I ate a lot of food. And then I got to thinking. How […]

What Does “Healthy” Look Like?

I met up with a friend for my morning coffee today and we got onto the topic of body image (go figure) and we ended up talking about what a healthy body looks like. This is when I realized that we all have a built in image in our heads of what we think a […]

The Ultimate Stress Test

The response to the coronavirus has presented us with what could be considered the biggest stress test of ourselves individually and of our societies collectively. On one hand our life stresses have increased due to a lack of certainly about our financial futures, the political future, and what the future holds for our families, friends […]
