Lame articles about "boosting your metabolism" are all over the internet...so I want to talk about two of the bigger myths today. 1) "Eating breakfast boosts metabolism" = myth. Just another one of those things that trainers repeat all day long without data. Show me the research. (I know research shows that folks who eat breakfast keep the weight off, but where's the "breakfast boosts

Continuing my experiment of a vegan diet combined with a modified meathead's workout for November. Will be experimenting with some new foods, but I went with a huge meal of Amy's chili and wild rice yesterday while watching the Packers-Vikings game. Also kept it simple with today's after workout meal of 3 almond butter sandwiches on flax bread with 2 glasses of chocolate almond milk. Today's

Just finishing up my trip to Florida...and I learned a few nutrition and exercise tips along the way.For workouts, my friends Vince Del Monte - muscle building expert and John Romaniello - fat loss expert suggested a killer single-leg bodyweight "bodybuilding" exercise=> 1 1/2 rep bulgarian split squats - this exercise gives pistol squats a challenge. Anyone have anything better?And for nutrition

Not all exercises are created equal and in this workout you will discover just which 4 exercises must be included in any workout in which you want to burn fat fast.     Below are 4 simple exercises to follow along with one additional superset that you may choose to include if you want a little more burn in your workout.

Started the day with an hour walk around Tampa...hot and muggy down here. Bally the Dog would need a lot of water breaks...this doesn't seem like a good place for him. After lunch I did a modified No-Nonsense Meatheads workout in a condominium gym equipped with a double cable stack and dumbbells up to 50 pounds. 1A) Pullups 1B) DB Bulgarian Split Squat 2A) 1-Arm Cable Row 2B) 1-Arm Standing

You can download the Turbulence Training Hot Zone workout here . It's one of my favorite fast workouts, using only four exercises per session to hit the 4 fat burning "hot zones" of the body.

Wow, I just had an amazing workout at a Powerhouse Gym down here in Tampa, Florida, and I wanted to let you know that I'm sticking to the Vegetarian Lifestyle and my new "No Nonsense" Meathead workouts while traveling. Last week I did 3 workouts in 4 days so that I could have the weekend off for my seminar. On Saturday night, when everything finished, a big group of us went out for dinner at

On Sunday I drove from Orlando to Tampa...and went from all-nonsense Mickey Mouse to No Nonsense workouts. Actually, last night's dinner was all nonsense too. Went to a Carrrabbas Italian restaurant and had bread, fettucini alfredo, a beer, a glass of wine, and a chocolate dessert. Then I stayed up and watched the Yankee's game while reading Gary Vaynerchuk's book, Crush It. Then today I

The other week a new TT member named "Kari" started on the TT forum, and like many folks, she was very skeptical that cutting back on her workout time would give her the results she wanted.After all, she was stuck at a plateau for a long time - even though she was exercising hours and hours each week.In fact, she was so skeptical that she "called me out" on the forum and told me she just didn't

Went out for dinner last night in Toronto at a restaurant called Splendido...we had 12 boisterous folks from all over (Kentucky, Turkey, Tunisia, Boston, Austin, Vancouver, and Toronto) all squished in around a table meant for 8. It was good times. I had their Autumn salad to start followed by a pasta dish with two kinds of mushrooms. I also finished up my 3rd No-Nonsense muscle building

Review of Ab Exercise Infomercial GadgetsBelieve it or not, one of my favorite ab exercises includes one of those cheap infomercial gadgets, "the ab wheel". You can pick oneup at Walmart for under 20 bucks, and it works your abs hard without crunches.But do other ab gadgets hold up?Researchers (from the Mayo Clinic, of all places) tested the"Ab-Slide" device and compared it to the ab crunch, the

Well, it was a bit of an uneventful trip to Vegas on the weekend - with the exception of "The Unbeatable Man".  After seeing a guy from Metallica at my hotel in Miami, and then seeing Chuck Lidell in the San Antonio airport last weekend, I figured I would see someone famous in Las Vegas. But nope, nothing doing. Instead, it was low-key, and I was up early each morning doing bodyweight

Every coach needs a coach too, so I decided to stir things up in my latest workout program and get my cardio nemesis, Vince Del Monte to help me put together my latest program. In fact, it's a modified workout from his No Nonsense Muscle Building program. Vince challenged me to use a little more volume in the workout and to move through my sets faster...overall this might lead to using a little
