    This Month’s Like – Gymnastic Bodies Course

    June 18, 2018 / 1 Comment
    gymnastics bodies online training

    My initial interest in the Gymnastic Bodies’ courses began in 2015. By then, I had been lifting since I was 17 and focusing on bodybuilding.

    Believe it or not, you don’t have to join a gym to get in shape and stay that way. Before I joined a gym, I exercised in my living room every day for five years. I never wanted membership at a public gym. I can be myself at home and…

    Some personal trainers and “health gurus” don’t believe in logging calories. Instead, they say “eat when you’re hungry.” I don’t agree with that. I know from experience that eating below or too far above the amount of calories your body requires (for muscle gain, fat loss, or maintenance) can sabotage…

    The Weight/Body Fat Conundrum

    May 24, 2018 / No Comments

    Updated: Undesirable Side Effects of Steroid Use

    May 16, 2018 / 4 Comments
