The Original Muscle Weight Gain & Muscle Building Blog!!

You need to get away from the flat barbell bench press if you are seeking more muscle building in the chest area. Read my latest article to read why dumbbells are superior:

Dumbbell Presses Build More Pec Muscles

Incredible how everyone takes a particular study done on some type of diet (usually some form of a low carb / ketogenic diet) and will completely miss the boat on how to interpret it. Check out the latest article to see what I mean:

Low Carbs Are Not A Magic Wand

As this month’s M&F reports, MRSA (the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus outbreak) is a staph bacteria that has been infecting athletes and muscle-builders alike. Because of the sharing of gym equipment, spreading and contracting of this outbreak can actually be pretty easy to get….unless you take the obvious precautions. No, don’t avoid going to the local gym or recreational center if it’s going to mean you miss out on your all-important muscle building workouts. Do what you should be doing anyway to avoid germs and bacteria, constantly keep your hands clean, avoid touching anything you don’t need to touch, and keep a hand sanitizer near by at all times.

When it comes to trying to burn fat so that you can reveal all of the muscle you’ve built, one of the many things that so called experts recommend is to stick to the “browns” and to avoid the “whites” when it comes to nutrition. “Brown” referring to brown sugar, brown rice, etc. And, of course, “white” referring to white sugar, white rice, etc.

Well, Becky Holman reports in IronMan that brown sugar is not more healthful that white sugar. Your body processes both the same way. Molasses makes brown sugar brown, but the calories and carbs are the same.

I love this observation by Becky because it just goes to show even further just how ridiculous diet experts have gotten in what they suggest to eat and what to avoid. Like I’ve said a million times, whether you are trying to build muscle or to burn body fat it will always, at the end of the day, come down to straight up calories, regardless of the color of the food!!!!
