Gym Limbo: Doing the same exercises and/or routine because you’re too scared, lazy, or narrow minded to learn and do other exercises.
The consequence: an imbalanced physique.
Have you been there? If you have it was most likely when you first started lifting. I know it was at least for me. Read More
CNN announced that 20 out of 25 of the largest U.S. fast food and casual restaurants earn an F when it comes to “their policies and practices regarding antibiotics use and transparency in their meat and poultry supply chains” (see chart below).
This is quite disturbing considering that these are restaurants/fast food chains that many of us Americans visit frequently. Read More
One of the things I dislike about winter (besides the cold) is that I can’t lay outside and tan, so therefore I become pale- fast. In the summer, being tan highlights your muscles and you just look and feel better. So instead of laying in the tanning bed this season, I use a self-tanner at home so I don’t look so washed out.

I have recently been taking a new pre-workout that is now among my favorites (I’ve tried Amino Energy, N.O. Xplode, Mr. Hyde, Condense, C4, ON Gold Standard, Gameday, Volt, ENGN, BANG, and a bunch of others I can’t remember because they weren’t that memorable. It’s called PreSeries LEAN by Transparent Labs. Below I will touch on the product itself and taste. So keep reading if you are looking for a good pre-workout! Read More
Don’t let the fear of “what will other people think” stop you from doing certain exercises! Likewise, don’t let the fear of “I’m gonna look dumb” prohibit you from trying new things. We all go through it. When trying something new you have to allow yourself time before you “get it.” Your body has to create that mind-to-muscle connection before you “get the hang of it.” Don’t do a set of something new and then stop because you feel like you aren’t doing it right or that you think you look stupid. Keep trying and tweak it till you feel it. Read More
I am currently home for fall break. Visiting home and staying consistent in exercise and nutrition can be somewhat of a challenge- especially when family and friends don’t completely understand the lifestyle of bodybuilding. Read More
When I first began to lift, I had a picture of some chick whose body was my goal. I would look at it when I felt unmotivated to go to the gym, and it would usually push me, because I wanted to have a body like that so badly. Several years have now passed, and while I am not exactly where I want to be, I have made a lot of progress. Read More
When I first started lifting, my boyfriend would often tell me that the things I was eating were not really healthy, and I would get super mad about it. I would get mad at him (even though he had my best interest in mind) and mad at knowing deep down inside, that I probably should cut out the bad things I frequently ate, in order to see more results.

“It Works!” – Most of us have heard about this magical wrap from someone, or have seen it on social media. This wrap supposedly melts away fat around your stomach in just a few days. Sounds great, right? It is- temporarily. Read More
Stretching and warming up your muscles are vital before lifting- especially when you’re doing legs. Problems will more than likely arise later down the road if you don’t take the time to properly warm up your muscles before diving into lifting. I can personally attest, and am regretful I didn’t consistently do it from the beginning. Let me tell you why. Read More
