My Review For Ultimate Body Press Dip Bar

Friday, January 8th, 2010

As you know, I usually don’t give reviews out on products and such, but I’m about to make an exception for the Ultimate Body Press Dip Bar. Arthur Jones once called dips the upper body squat and for good reason. The dip is a total upper body developer and can build slabs of muscle on [...]

I wanted to let you all know that after almost two years of going back and forth, I’ve finally decided to move Workout Routines from the Blogger platform to WordPress. I have said many times before I would, but always backed off. This time it’s a go. I want to have Workout-Routines on my own [...]

I’m currently doing a three-days per week routine with 2-3 exercises included per workout. I usually stay on a program around 10-12 weeks and then change up to avoid staleness. I long ago [...]

If you ever wanted a perfect example of the bullshit being spread around by professional bodybuilders and the muscle mag rags they read, look no further than this AP report. BRUSSELS — The Belgian bodybuilding championship has been canceled after doping officials showed up and all the competitors fled. A doping official says bodybuilders just [...]
