Crafting Your Best Diet Plans
Calories in vs. Calories out, Identifying your Baseline, Creating Your Best Diet, More Aggressive Diets like Keto and Rapid Fat Loss,… and a bit on Fasting.
Rest Intervals
How long should I rest between sets? When we consider rest intervals, at least on my interpretation, of Mentzer’s Heavy Duty or Yates’ Blood and Guts, here are a couple things to consider. The rest between…
