MINIMIZED REST FOR MAXIMIZED GAINS
This basic means of increasing intensity is probably the least often employed, but is one of the best… especially for those of you who are training for sports or are trying to improve body composition (add muscle, lose body fat) and general heath. Even if you’re aspiring to be the next Coleman or Cutler, it’s a great way to add variety to stale training routines. The intensity intensifier that I’m referring to is called...
GETTING MILKED
Getting Milked?
Not a month goes by without more good news about the benefits of milk. In the last few months alone, dairy components have been shown to:
Promote weight-loss without significant losses of lean mass (1)
Improve bone density significantly better than calcium supplements (2)
Reduce the incidence of metabolic syndrome by approximately 62% (3)
Lower a women’s breast cancer risk by as much as 65% (4)
Protect smokers against aggressive types of prostate cancer (5)
Rehydrate and promote recovery better than isotonic sports drinks or water (6)
Most recently, milk was found to help weightlifters increase lean mass better than soy protein or carbohydrates when taken after workouts (7).
This is great news for all of us who dutifully use whey and casein … or is it?

THE EXPERIMENT BEFORE THE EXPERIMENT
For those of you who haven’t been following along, to give my body a little added rest (in the form of an extra rest day) and to help keep my muscles guessing, I am planning to experiment with an intense 4x/week, full-body program for the next 6-8 weeks.
My plan is:
• To include an exercise for every body part in every workout
• To emphasize 1 major body part per workout with an extra exercise or two
• To train 2 days on and 2-3 days off, such that I never work out more than two consecutive days in a row...

PART 2 IS OBESITY CONTAGIOUS
In an earlier post of the same name, I opined about the social factors that contribute to obesity. Although obesity seems to spread among closely congregated individuals – much in the same way that colds and the flu spread – the original title was intended to be witty, not factual. Turns out it may be both...
EAT THE RAINBOW
Green leafy’s, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, carrots, eggplants, asparagus, berries, tomatoes, melons, onions, garlic, cabbage, peapods are just a sampling of the cornucopia of produce that we fitness enthusiasts regularly feast upon because they have virtually no fat, little starch, and few calories. Turns out these foods do affect our bodies more than we think – but in a good way.
