It seems I can’t watch more than 20 minutes of golf or football without seeing an ad for Androgel to treat “Low T,” or low testosterone. The symptoms of low testosterone are very nonspecific, meaning they can come from many other things besides testosterone. While testosterone levels do decline somewhat with aging, an otherwise healthy […]
Biltong is a form of dried, cured meat that originated in Africa. It is similar to beef jerky and is very high in protein and low in calories. On most days, I prefer it to beef jerky and of all the brands I’ve tried, Ayoba-Yo is by far the best. They had a booth at FitExpo Philly and after I […]

However, the laws of thermodynamics cannot be, and […]

But, is it? In this quick and comprehensive lesson on Eating Breakfast, you’ll find the importance of personal choice when it comes to […]
I have never posted a lifting video, but I have put my own self-consciousness aside to demonstrate what is possible with the right attitude and a good plan. When I was in medical school, I herniated a disk in my back and couldn’t walk right for almost a year. I had chronic back pain for […]
I want to do my exercise at home. What do I need? I suppose one could argue that the type of equipment will vary based on goals. The proverbial “they” say that if weight loss is the primary goal, you need a treadmill, elliptical, bike, stepper, or whatever else is out there. Then add some […]

If you are unhappy with the way you look or feel, consider moving over to a more traditional, bodybuilding […]
