Congrats to Maryana Naumova!
I sure wasn’t doing anything like this when I was 13… 240 pounds is an impressive amount of weight for someone her age to be benching. Via The Mary Sue
ISSN Exercise & Sport Nutrition Review: Research & Recommendations
I thought I should put a link here to this recent research review, published in the Journal of the International Society of Sport Nutrition. It’s a loooong (43 pages) and somewhat dry read… but it IS readable, and has a LOT to say on the subject of supplements, whether for muscle-building, performance-enhancement or… weight loss.

Rutaecarpine is in products like BSN No Xplode (which many of the anecdotal...

The study focused on the effects of human growth hormone (HGH) injections on athletic performance – but with a twist. The researchers gave either HGH or a placebo to a group of 64 men and women who were recreational athletes between 20 – 40 years of age. At the end...
Want to Add Muscle? You Need to Eat Enough Food!
I moderate two private fitness forums: “Fat Loss Revealed” and “Bodybuilding Revealed.” These names are pretty self-explanatory…the first forum is dedicated to fat loss, while the second is concerned with building muscle. Not surprisingly, the majority of the members on the “Bodybuilding Revealed” forum are male. Nonetheless, we have female members too – which is a great thing, in my...
