The Paleo Bread Search is Officially Over! Enormous and Strong Legs: The Mountain Dog Way. By John Meadows CSCS, CISSN Question: How many people at your gym have big, thick, nasty legs? What about on-stage at the last bodybuilding contest you attended? While I can't speak for everyone, I can say that in the last several shows I've been to, there hasn't been many. Why is this? Is the ability to build impressive wheels something you either have or don't have, genetically? Or, do people not know how to squat? My name is John Meadows, and I've been fascinated by looking massive and ripped from a very early age (I think I must have eaten paint chips as a kid).
I'm a big believer in not only having "street" knowledge, but also being formally educated. I've studied under Louie Simmons, the best powerlifting coach in the country, and have been in partnership with Dr. But enough about me; what is this Mountain Dog training stuff? If you're looking for a '10-minutes a day' type of solution, or something that you might find in an infomercial, then you're going to be disappointed. 1 x 15.
Carbs At Night: Fat Loss Killer Or Imaginary Boogeyman? Written by Layne Norton. There are quite a few things that everyone in the fitness industry KNOWS. You have to eat 8 meals per day, consume 400g+ protein per day, do fasted cardio, use heavy weights to bulk up, and light weights wit high reps to tone up… oh wait, those are all BROSCIENCE! Photo Credit: Natalie Minh Photography Don’t get me wrong, bodybuilding and fitness have been on the cutting edge of many dietary and training interventions that mainstream science is only now catching up. Unfortunately, the vetting process for many of these protocols isn’t exactly stringent. Thus, many things become accepted as fact, when in reality they are BROSCIENCE. The debate about whether or not it’s ok to have carbs at night has been all but settled in the fitness industry. That is, according to many fitness ‘experts’ out there, most of whose credentials are worth about as much as a thin sheet of slightly used one ply toilet paper.
So where did this ‘no carbs at night’ thing come from? Whoa hold up… less hunger? One of the Best and Easiest Protein Cheesecakes Ever Made. This is a carnivor’s Protein Cheesecake. That’s right, I made it using beef protein powder. Now, if you don’t have beef protein powder, don’t worry: just use whey – it’ll do the same job. For the crust, I only used one ingredient: almonds! It really doesn’t need much else because the filling holds it together. You COULD add a nut butter to the ground almonds (or some date paste) but I really liked the simplicity of this recipe because you don’t have to do anything to to get the ‘crust’ – you just pour the filling on top! OK. Let me just give you the recipe because this one’s a keeper! Filling ingredients: 1 pot Kessella (the Swedish version of Quark; if you don’t have either, just blend up some 2% cottage cheese until it becomes smooth and lumpless) 1/4 cup vanilla caramel beef protein powder (or just whey) 1 whole egg 1 egg white 2 tablespoons coconut flour 2 tablespoons freshly-brewed espresso 3/4 cup ground almonds Directions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Macros per Serving (out of 8): Should You Track Your Macronutrient Intake? To macro, or not to macro? That is the question I pose. But first, what does “to macro” mean? “To macro” means tracking the number of grams of protein, carbohydrates, and fats you consume on a particular day. Bodybuilders and physique competitors have mastered this art and have no qualms about whipping out their food scale at any given moment. For the rest of us, it means going out and buying a scale, taking the time to do the measurements and calculations, and perhaps most imposing of all, setting aside the mental bandwidth to actually care about the results. So should you do it? It depends. There are benefits and drawbacks to either path. Let me remind you, however, that you absolutely must be patient and consistent with whatever path you choose.
