1st Phorm

This is an interesting question and one that has relevance to most individuals. It’s especially interesting considering the overload of questions and discussion about protein relative to sports nutrition or supplementation. Upon considering the role of carbohydrate as a fuel source throughout any form of intense exercise, both endurance and resistance athletes should care [...]

I recently completed a 1st Phorm bodybuilding transformation project, and it was a major success. The subject was a friend of mine by the name of Jerry, also known as: “the squirrel”.   You may wonder how a bodybuilder like Jerry would end up with a nickname such as this. Jerry got this nickname a few [...]

That is a question I get a lot from guys your age. First thing you need to do, if you haven’t already, is attend a bodybuilding show. Ask around your gym about what shows are coming up in the area. It’s a good idea to go to a bodybuilding competition as a spectator [...]

First off, if you are looking at getting lean, putting on muscle should be a priority not an afterthought. If you want to be lean and you do just cardio you aren’t going to get there. Cardio burns both muscle and fat, not just fat like most people think. If you aren’t training your muscles [...]

This is a very common question, believe it or not, people always ask which one they should take and the answer is…unequivocally, undeniably, no question about it…BOTH! I always tell people the same thing: It’s like going to buy a brand new car and the salesman asks you if you need tires or a steering [...]

Ignition will not and cannot make you fat if used correctly. In fact, if used correctly post-weight training (Ignition should not be used post-cardio for someone trying to lose body fat) it will actually cause you to burn fat faster. Contrary to what you might have read about carbs being the devil, it’s just not [...]

Let me take a wild guess and try to describe the character who is giving you this information; It’s the over the hill guy at your gym who “used” to compete on the “semi-pro” circuit back when bodybuilding was “pure”. He probably wears a stringer tank and parachute pants, with a fanny pack. He dead [...]
