One of the biggest frustrations of bodybuilding and personal trainers is witnessing gym members who work out for two hours or more, 6 or 7 times a week, performing the same using the exact same weight, sets, and repetitions. Instead of challenging their body to do more than it’s capable of, they simply go through the motions. While they do maintain their current strength levels, they never progress beyond this to become even stronger.

Losing weight is all about expending more calories than you consume throughout the day. It is well known that this may be achieved by eating well and exercising, but it is not commonly understood which exercise program is the best for burning the most calories in a day.

You know how it is. You go into the gym on a regular basis and you give it all you’ve got. Whatever it takes to get the job done, you do. Most of the time it’s just the meat and potatoes exercises — Squats, Bench Presses, Curls — the old tried and true. They work. No need to bother with a foolproof formula. Or is there?

In nature, there’s a basic law: The big fish eats the little fish, and the big fish gets eaten by the bigger fish. This tenet holds true throughout the animal kingdom and every beast instinctively is aware of it. The size of a creature will dictate its dominance, often without retaliation. Don’t mess with the big boys. Even among the same species, it’s the largest and strongest of the herd who invariably winds up as the leader (at least until a bigger one comes along). These leaders get to feed first after the kill and they even have their choice of any female in the flock. No doubt about it — being big has its perks.

Read it and weep. This program is brutal! It’s beyond painful. In fact, it’s so tough, it’s almost obscene! If the notion of overtraining is an issue for you — turn the page. This routine is for the guy who isn’t afraid to inflict some serious stress on his thighs and force them into growth! And that, it will definitely do. But it’s gonna hurt ya.

When someone asks you to “make a muscle,” do you unhesitatingly roll up your trousers and flex your calve? No way. It’s the biceps that everyone wants to get a look at. Biceps, for some inexplicable reason, are the gauge by which one’s overall muscularity is judged. If your biceps look good, most people will presume the rest of you does as well. That’s why we want them. You have to admit–the biceps have little to do with overall strength or health. (But damn, they sure look cool.) Okay, they’re mostly for “show”, yet when they’re big and defined and vascular, they’re an awesome sight which suggest strength, power and sensuality. Is it any wonder guys want bigger bi’s?

I’ve never seen a guy in a gym who wasn’t interested in putting another inch or two of size on his chest and arms. Over the years I’ve seen innumerable workouts offered that are supposed to do wonders for building a bigger chest or putting more muscle on a guy’s triceps or biceps. Most of them are a waste of time.

My Two-Headed Monsters!
I’ve been in the bodybuilding fame for a long time. I’ve competed in more
than one federation, and I’ve stood next to some of the best athletes in the
game. You might imagine that, having said that, I’ve tried just about everything
there is to try in terms of training my body.

Leg Training By Joe DeAngelis | Mr. America | Mr. USA | Mr. Universe
Wheels of Steel
Isn’t it marvelous how some trainers only have to look at the rack in order to sprout inches on the thighs, while others who spend half their lives under a squat bar only end up with painful quads. Whichever type you are check this routine out. It belongs to Joe DeAngelis, a man who has known both slow gains and “Wheels of Steel!”

Tighten those lower abs FAST with this extraordinary exercise. Not only does it hit the
lower abs HARD, it takes almost ALL the stress off the lower
back when you’re doing a leg raise movement!
So who doesn’t want to tighten up their lower abs…raise your hand. Not a single hand went up…I had a feeling!
