Muscle Building

Genetics and Muscle Building

December 24, 2010 By Brad Pilon

Muscle Building and Genetics

"Whatever, Brad's muscles are 80% Genetics" It was a comment that stung a bit. I took it to suggest that the way I look was more 'genetics' then it was hard work and and Eat Stop Eat. Funny thing --> It was RIGHT. Since the conversation in question was actually about my arms, I will use then as our example: My Arms are roughly 16 inches in circumference. That … [Read more...] about Genetics and Muscle Building

My Approach to Building Muscle

How to Build Muscle

I'm always amazed at the 'carpet bomb' way of thinking that most people use to approach building muscle. "Eat 10,000 calories a day, train hard with lots of rest, don't do any cardio and sleep 12 hours a night and you will build muscle" Which to me is very similar to telling people the secret to getting rich is: "Work 5 full times jobs, live in a shack for 8 years, … [Read more...] about My Approach to Building Muscle

Muscle Building And Lay Offs

November 24, 2010 By Brad Pilon

One last muscle building post for this week. Obvious fact...unplanned breaks from working out suck. (Mostly because they typically happen as a result of an injury). But here's the truth about lay offs - They can actually help you build muscle. Now, I know that mentally time off from training can be really, really tough, but physically they may hold a lot of … [Read more...] about Muscle Building And Lay Offs

Muscle Building Wave Theory

November 22, 2010 By Brad Pilon

I'd like to expand on my "What we can learn from Ryan Reynolds" muscle building blog post and really explore the idea of "Wave Theory Muscle Building". Basically, the idea is as follows: Very few of us can go all out all the time. Real life tends to get in the way of our workouts and muscle building. Things like job stress, money stress, lack of sleep, colds, flu's, car … [Read more...] about Muscle Building Wave Theory

Steroids – With and Without

October 6, 2010 By Brad Pilon

(Clipped from: johnbarban.com (share this clip) via clp.ly ) When it comes to Muscle Building it's very had to separate fact from fiction, science from marketing and natural from drug induced. In fact, The only real way to know what is possible in the realm of muscle growth WITHOUT the confounding variable of Steroid use, it to look back to BEFORE steroid use was even … [Read more...] about Steroids – With and Without

Why we hate the BMI

  A new study adds to the growing evidence that an elevated BMI increases the risk of a heart attack in otherwise healthy people. In what has been called the largest study of its kind (data on over 500,000 people) researchers classified participants based on their body mass index (BMI), calculated as weight (kg) divided […]

How Many Calories can you Burn in a day?

Have you ever stopped to think that there might be an upper-limit to human metabolism? Basically a ‘ceiling rate’ at which we can burn through calories? Probably not, but don’t worry… I did for you! I’ve heard rumors of people eating well over 10,000 calories during a single cheat day, or even every day during […]

Reverse Taper Intermittent Fasting

The concept of the Reverse Taper Diet is still one of my favorite ideas. Without getting too technical, the concept is that you should be in your largest calorie deficit (eating the least amount of food) at the beginning of your diet, when you have the most fat to lose and thus the most fat […]

Fasting for Weight Loss – Setting the Record Straight

Paleo eating and vegan eating are the EXACT SAME THING. This is why any and all research on Paleo diets can be used for Vegan diets, and vice versa. It’s also why any personal experiences people have had with a Vegan diet can be directly applied to what you will probably experience with the Paleo […]

Never Skip Leg Day

Friends don’t let friends skip leg day, or so the saying goes… Small legs, chicken legs, the triumphant retort of any one to any body with a good bench or built upper body… But is it justified? Legs are important to sports performance and good physique, not to mention your long term health (A smaller […]
