Bodybuilding Peanut Butter

Peanut butter and bodybuilding, what am I talking about?

Well there is this myth going around some bodybuilding circles that peanut butter is some new miracle food for growing muscle. Why? Rumours and misguided attempts to eat the right bodybuilding foods.

Peanut butter is good for bodybuilding in certain circumstances, in other circumstances it is a terribly bad choice...

Training With A Shoulder Injury

For the last  six weeks or so I have been training with a shoulder injury.

The injury started as a slight nagging pain after training chest or shoulders, so I backed off on the weight and concentrated on getting my form perfect with slow reps and a light weight. Then we caught the armed bandit at our apartment  and I really put it out.

So since then what have I been doing to train around my shoulder injury? 

Conan Stevens Bodybuilding Photos July 2009

Alright after much delay and much sidestepping the issue I grabbed my phone out of my pocket after training today and asked a fellow that I have never seen before to take a few photos outside the gym.

Bigger Leaner And More Bearded Than Ever

Yep, I have a beard - why? I ran out of razors one day then forgot to buy them next 2 times I went to the supermarket and decided to grow it to get some new photos as I believe it gives my face and demeanor a totaly different aspect...

Egg Whites Good For You?

Are egg whites good for you? Well it depends upon what you do with them and how many you take.

Cooked egg whites are high in protein, have next to zero fat and no carbohydrates so they are good for athletes, those on a fat loss diet and those watching what they eat for health. Cooked egg whites are not bad for you in any way. As long as they are part of a balanced diet then cooked egg whites are a good addition for many people, I myself eat 10 to 20 egg whites a day for the protein, for muscle building.

Are raw egg whites good for you is a completely different question.... 

Weight Training Too Heavy

Day after day I see guys in the gym training too heavy, with weights they can barely lift. I'd be very surprised to see them complete even a single good rep with the weight they have chosen.

Yet they pump out set after set of swinging body movements that stressed the hips, back and shoulder tendons more than the muscle they are supposed to be exercising.

On some days you might see me doing the same.... why?

Strength / Weight Training For Women

There are many Strength and Weight training for women programs available on the internet and most, if not all, I say are just junk made to try to sell something to women who are likely to know less about training and supplements than men are.

Now the reality for a strenght or weight training for women routine is that there will not be too much difference from a man's routine who is looking for the same end goals.... 

Cooking Eggs

Cooking Eggs many a bodybuilders morning ritual, but funnily enough there are those out there who do not know the first thing about cooking eggs. Don't laugh, we were all there at one time.

I still remember clearly a school weekend when about 10 of us aspiring bodybuilders had gathered at a friends place, self serve egg sandwiches were todays menu. After we had all eaten one fellow made his way slowly into the kitchen only to return 5 minutes later empty handed and one question "How do you cook eggs"

This cooking eggs article is written for those other young guys out there taking their first steps towards cooking for themselves.... 

Free Bodybuilding Workout Routines

Bodybuilding workout routines - none of them are going to be particularly magic yet I see people scurrying and reading all over the internet searching for some sort of workout routine holy grail, and in the process using some absolutely hairball bodybuilding workout routines. 

After doing a quick search and read online of a few of the top search returns for the phrases "workout routine", "workout routines" and "bodybuilding workout" I was shocked to find some absolute garbage written as bodybuilding workout routines for beginners.

IF you were unfortunate enough to follow some of the bodybuilding workout routines suggested on other sites it would not take long and you would label yourself a hardgainer....
