I soon asked Chad Waterbury to write a custom training plan, specially designed just for those on this diet. To test out the latest version of the plan, I put T Nation reader Gus Pancho on the latest version of the V-Diet. Gus is 37 years old and lost 40 pounds and nine inches from his belly during and after his Velocity Diet experience.

Tuesday, May 15, 2018 - The satisfaction of mastering the little tasks you perform every day transforms routine activities into life-affirming revelations. You still may look forward to the big events on the horizon, but a sense of urgency keeps you focused on the tasks right in front of you. The grounded Taurus New Moon settles into your 6th House of Health and Work, reminding you to take care of business before embarking on your next flight of fancy. Journalist Chris Anderson wrote, “Nail the basics first, detail the details later.”

Seriously. These resorts have great buffets, but in the middle of the night you can't find any food. And there are no supermarkets on the resort so you can't store food in the room. You'll be spending seven days without eating at night. This will program you to stop that habit. But the buffet? Yeah, that can be an issue. But if you're in good shape then you probably don't like to look like a bloated whale on the beach, so you probably won't overindulge.

Clearly, we only have three choices when it comes to dealing with all these numbers and statistics: One, cower in fear and live in a plastic bubble every time a report comes out on some new carcinogen. Two, laugh at the existential absurdity of living in a world where everything seems to cause cancer and eat whatever you want. Or three, practice moderation when it comes to exposing yourself to carcinogens while employing some or all of my anti-cancer weapons.

Once you've reached a point of being satisfied with your fat loss and want to make a cheat meal part of your weekly schedule, then do so. For those who've gotten the jiggle rate down to nearly nothing, you've probably already figured out when a refeed or cheat serves you best. And the leaner you get, it's likely that quality refeeds can and should be done a little more often.

You must fuel your body properly to have a successful workout . Exercising on an empty stomach isn’t always beneficial for your body—even if you’re trying to lose weight. And with a life as busy as yours, you’ll definitely want convenient snacks, too. (After all, snacks that take forever to make aren’t really “snacks,” per se.) The solution: Whip up these pre-workout snacks, which require only five ingredients each.

The floor slide will dynamically stretch the pecs and the front of your shoulders. It'll activate the often dormant upper back and shoulder-stabilizing muscles. You need to wake these up if you're training upper body! It'll also train you to depress and retract the shoulder blades.

First, unracking the bar without being tight will make the bar feel a heckuva lot heavier, which can psych you out, and walking backward with that suboptimal tension is dangerous. Plus it's harder to assume a strong setup right before squatting if you didn't start that way. So before you take the bar out of the rack make sure that:

Oddly enough, it looks like these dads might have been onto something, as a new study has shown that a brief but brutal 4-minute workout, composed entirely of calisthenics, was about as effective a cardio protocol as classic sprint training or high intensity interval training.

Kettlebells are the perfect tool for a 15-minute, busy-guy workout. After all, kettlebells look like something your kids might have left lying around the house—which is where you’re likely squeezing in a workout these days. Plus, a 15-minute kettlebell workout is great for burning plenty of calories in minimal time.

It's time to start taking Shaun Clarida seriously. Vlad Yudin jumps onto a video call to interview Shaun Clarida after his big win at the New York Pro 2018.

How to do it: Stand tall with a dumbbell in each hand, arms to your sides. Put some slack in your knees so they’re in a neutral position, slightly bent. Extend one leg back; this non-weight-bearing leg should extend straight back until it’s parallel to the floor, while your planted leg remains engaged and planted firmly to the floor. Your weight-bearing knee should be neutral to just slightly bent to avoid hyperextension. Sink your arms toward the floor when you draw your elevated leg back, moving with the flow of gravity. Use your glutes to pull yourself back to the upright position.

The point is this: Just because we can do something to make an engine faster doesn't necessarily mean we've done something to make it better or extend its operating life. By the same token, just because you've done something to make your body run, row, or swim faster doesn't necessarily mean you've done something to make it better or healthier. And yeah, I'm talking to you, keto-diet boy.

Longtime park patrons known that what makes parks significant isn’t the packaging, but what’s inside their borders. Still, the more popular parks get crowded – Yellowstone gets an average of 26,500 visitors every day in July – so it’s wise to seek out new territory. In that spirit, we rounded up 23 of the most scenic national parks and their best attractions, from the quiet lighthouses at Michigan’s Isle Royale to glaciers only viewed by seaplane in Wrangell-St. Elias.

Bros will often say they want to bring up a muscle group, then do a few extra sets for said muscle group once a week, and believe it's enough. Or maybe they have one day dedicated to working that muscle and believe that "volume trumps all." Glute girls would laugh at you for this. Your efforts would be the butt of their jokes. If you really want to bring up a lagging muscle group, give it a reason to grow, and give it that reason often.

There’s a modern-day reason most of us aren’t getting the 2,000 IU of vitamin D many experts say we need: We shun the sun . On average, it takes 10 to 30 minutes of midday UV exposure, without wearing sunscreen, to prompt your body to generate between 10,000 and 20,000 IU of vitamin D, says Dr. John Cannell, executive director of the nonprofit Vitamin D Council. But we can fall way short of that, even in the summer. “Most of us sit at a computer all day, then walk to and from our cars when the sun is too low to produce UV,” says Robert Heaney, an endocrinologist at Creighton University. “It doesn’t matter where you live. We’ve evaluated vitamin D statuses of hospital workers in Hawaii and Alaska, and they’re exactly the same.” Compounding this deficiency problem is the fact that, as you age, your body becomes less efficient at synthesizing the vitamin. According to a report from the Berkeley School of Medicine, a 70-year-old man synthesizes only about a quarter as much vitamin D as a 20-year-old who gets the same sun exposure.

“The best war movies are, at least to some extent, anti-war movies,” says Craig Detweiler, filmmaker, author, and director of The Center for Entertainment, Media, and Culture at Pepperdine University. “They show us the pain and struggle on the battlefield in a way that makes us consider the high cost of engaging in battle. A bad war movie is dishonest about the hidden costs of war, whether that’s the personal cost to soldiers or the national costs to governments. War is something that should never be romanticized.”

A flavorful alternative to boring old canned tuna, this island-inspired appetizer is the high-protein solution to your sushi cravings to help you chase unbelievable gains! ► Spicy Gainz Poke Bowl Recipe: https://bbcom.me/2Lu9XTa ► Shop Bodybuilding Signature Supplements: https://bbcom.me/2LtrVW0 ► Premium Fitness Plans: https://bbcom.me/2Lu9uQU Poke is a traditional Hawaiian appetizer of diced raw fish tossed with onion, soy sauce, spicy seasonings, and fresh citrus. As this recipe demonstrates, poke is surprisingly easy to make when you start with the right ingredients. With raw fish, quality is key, so purchase sushi-grade salmon or tuna from your local market or health food store. Use liquid aminos in place of traditional soy sauce to cut back on sodium, or substitute raw cauliflower "rice" to lower the carbs. Try shirataki noodles for a grain-free alternative, or for a low-calorie twist—pun intended—serve over a bed of zucchini noodles. When you start with such pure and simple ingredients, the possibilities are endless. Get creative with your variations, and you'll find you can adapt this recipe to fit any point of your lean-gains cycle.

People Who Listen to Music When They Exercise Have Better Workouts

Frequency: Perform each workout (I, II, and III) once per week for one week, resting or performing your other weight training on days in between. For example, you could do an upper-body workout on Monday, perform ab workout I on Tuesday, and do a lower-body workout on Wednesday. You could then do ab workout II on Thursday, another upper-body day on Friday, and ab workout III on Saturday (Sunday you’d rest).

Penises are important in many ways. They are a symbol of manhood, play a big role in procreation, and are something worth paying attention to if you’re curious about your overall health. You may think you know everything there is to know about this very special guy part (at least when it comes to your own) but some of these facts may still surprise you.

And don't worry, as a human you have great reflex mechanisms when it comes to avoiding getting hit in the junk. This is especially true when a 50-pound iron ball is headed straight for your groin. You're naturally going to get your groin out of the way.

Not every great exercise is designed with your individual body type in mind. Whether you're too big, too small, too tall, or too busted up for a certain exercise, it doesn't mean you have to skip the lift. All you have to do customize the exercise to make it work for you. Here are four examples.

One of the first decisions I have to make as a strength coach is to figure out how we'll train work capacity for the athlete. Universally, the loaded carry family works for almost everyone: sleds, Prowlers, farmer walks and other carries. From there, we have to make a choice: Hinge work or squat work for the athlete.

How long do you have to wait before you train the same muscle group again? Not as long as you may think. Here's why: t-nation.com/training/tip-t…
