I've been doing so for about 2 years; 6 months consistently during first year with gains from 135 - 160. goal is to reach a steady 165 at the ...

So, I've been looking around looking for new Workout programs for myself, and I stumbled upon this site: http://fitness.scoobysworkshop.com/ Under the category 'Plans' there is a list that consists of Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced workout plans. Personally, I think that those are quite feasib...

President's Choice it is then. Would you give the same advice for the purchase of any other supplements as well?

On average, how often should an individual switch up their workout routines to avoid hitting a plateau? I'm going to make the assumption that there should be a switch up in routines every two weeks? Just wanna' be sure. Also, what sort of workout routines are usually recommended for an individual wh...

Thanks for the advice Boss Man. So I should just stick to Whey Protein, and Glutamine for a couple of months until I start to have significant gains? From what I've read Arginine is present within certain protein supplement products already. Which specific brand do you recommend that provides the ri...
