1). The Scary Truth About Soy Protein and BodybuildingCopyright 2006 Marc David
Inevitably there’s a myth that soy protein is horrible for bodybuilding and that if you are any where near serious about working out or building muscle you will stay away from it. In fact, some sites show ‘studies’ that soy protein and soy products can be detrimental to your health. And while it’s true that early claims of soy wonders might not be entirely true, there’s also myth that soy protein is bad.

Copyright 2006 Marc David
Could 90% of all of us be wrong when it comes to strength training and flexibility?
How many times have you seen the guy doing all the weight on the squats stretching after a workout?
Tell me, you've seen the same people in your gym year after year. You know who does the best bench. You probably know who's a cardio king or queen.
3). A Very Simple Program Anybody Can Follow To Gain MASS
Until I started following a routine to eat, my gains were minimal. Once I set my eating times to a specific time during the day along with a protein boost, I could see the gains immediately. This sample program is a quick way to get your protein WAY up and generally increase your food intake. But it doesn't require the traditional sit down 6+ a day to eat 30 chicken breasts and spend all day cooking.

Imagine the frustrated person who says, "I do at least 30 minutes of cardio in every training session I do spinning classes, cross trainer and StairMaster. But when it comes to going running I feel so unfit and can't last more than 10 mins!"
Have you ever wondered why some people seem to have a bigger lung capacity?
The question ended with "is it possible to increase my lung capacity and if so how?"
Yes, it's true.

Posted on a Bodybuilding Message Board:
Hi everyone I'm 15 and was wondering what I can take for my muscle to grow? I have heard of muscle boosters or something like that so I was just wondering if there was anything like that that I could take in order for my muscle to get huge.
I might be thinking of steroids.
Answer:
Stop! What the HECK are you thinking? Why are we always looking for the short cut to the biggest gains while still being able to watch T.
6). Creatine and Teenagers
Creatine and a Teenager: Should teenagers under 18 use creatine? Do the creatine benefits outweigh the creatine side effects when it comes to teenagers who want to use this sports supplement? Considering that supplements play only a 3% role in any proper nutrition and training plan, a teenager would certainly need to have the rest of the game in order
7). Bodybuilding on a Budget - It Doesn't Have to Put Your Wallet in a Wheelchair

10). Should I Be Sore After Weight Training?
Copyright 2006 Marc David
It’s long been a myth that if you didn't get sore from your last workout, then you didn’t work hard enough and you probably didn't improve. But it's just a myth. Soreness is not an indicator of a successful workout.
Muscle soreness that occurs directly after a workout is known as acute muscle soreness. Muscle soreness that appears 12 to 48 hours after exercise is known as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) or post exercise muscle soreness (PEMS).

13). The Key to Building Muscle and Burning Fat at the Same Time
Doesn't weight training build muscle
and increase your metabolic rate and therefore the increase
in your metabolic rate reduces fat? And if so, then doesn't
this mean that you have gained muscle and lost fat at the

14). If You Don't Track Your Diet… You Are Wasting Your Time
Frankly, I’m puzzled whenever I hear this from somebody who’s frustrated with their lack of gains: Me: So what are you eating? How many calories per day and how many do you need? Them: I don’t know. I just eat. Huh?

Think about that for just a minute. Let it settle in.
If you've been doing the same routine day in and day out, year after year, wonder why you aren't getting the gains you wanted... this statement should really hit home.
For starters, the more variety you can.

19). Watch Out: Those Darn Absolutists Are Ruining Your Workouts
Copyright 2006 Marc David
It's my way or the highway!
I mean, if you don't do exactly what I'm telling you, you might as well pack it up, quit the gym and go home. You'll never make any progress doing whatever you are doing if it's not what I say.
[Sarcasm intended]
Come on... you know those damn absolutists?
They (website, gurus, articles, companies) that tell you if you don't do something precisely like they tell you, you won't get the progress you want.
20). Nutrition Is Not Common Sense
I'd like to explain an important concept that most online trainers (even the "gurus") don't get: Have you ever heard that nutrition is common sense? Have you ever thought about why the United States has an epidemic of overweight individuals and kids that are out of shape? Or that most people talk about how in their younger days they were able to do this and that. Yet these people are only 30 years old? Most people think nutrition is common sense. But these people are completely wrong...

23). Women Who Lift Weights Turn Into Men?
There's a big myth that women have to train different then men. They don’t. They can lift weights, do the same exercise, build a little muscle, become stronger and still be 100% female. Building muscle isn't all that easy right? You don’t just do some weights and have a 21" inch arms the next month.
24). Tendonitis and the Effects on Your Routine
