April 29, 2017 By johnbarban

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.

Working Out

It's becoming apparent that many of our society norms or the 'mores' that we come to accept as normal might not add up to what our bodies are built to think is normal.

Obesity, diabetes, CVD and the various inflammatory disorders that are … [Read more...] about Biology vs Society

Should You Use Steroids or Not?

June 14, 2010 By johnbarban

Alek sent in a very interesting question. He simply asked what are the real objective reasons for not using steroids.

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.

Bodyfat Distribution Patterns

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 […]
