“How much do you weigh?” is a popular question in commercial gyms. During the cold season, people boost the number, but as soon as the summer kicks in, the firmness in the tone disappears. Why? Because the fat gut popping under the XXL shirt immediately devalues the number. Does it matter that you weigh 220 pounds […]
Six months ago I posted an interview with a fake natural bodybuilder undercover. His nickname is Mr. Trenbolone. Today, I present you another quick chat with him. Note: The material below contains explicit content. Q: How are you Mr. Trenbolone? Still big and shredded? A: Yes. I had a minor setback, but it is all fine […]
The term “six pack abs” has produced many millionaires. Even today, quick six pack abs solutions remain a very effective technique to make money in the fitness industry. Back in the day, I was a severe victim of the six pack abs propaganda too. As a teenager, I spent one summer doing all kinds of […]
The idea that you can visualize your way to success has regained popularity thanks to self-improvement books like “The Secret” and other mainstream propaganda. The notion is simple: you are your thoughts, and therefore, you can achieve almost anything you think of. Sounds nice and feels like a brain candy for the masses, but for […]
Selling lies to natural bodybuilders and naive teenagers looking to get big has been a lucrative investment for many fitness gurus.

Regardless of what the gym owners and mainstream bodybuilding media say, you can reach the genetic potential of many upper body muscles through bodyweight exercises. The extremely well-developed torsos of gymnasts serve as evidence. However, this does not mean that you should become a monkey for the sake of it either. In this post, I […]
You will never meet a professional bodybuilder who does not eat large carb meals at least in the off-season. To the unaware, this may appear normal, but the strategy has a deeper meaning. One of the reasons why carbs are on the menu is that they form glycogen – the storage form of glucose. Each […]
It’s time to tell the truth. The extraterrestrial growth attributed to the deadlift is a myth supported by brainwashed broscientists. The deadlift does not make you super big despite the claims that it releases growth hormone and testosterone while stimulating efficient nutrient partitioning. The trick is very simple. Since they cannot sell you steroids, they […]
Cardio is a gold mine. Almost every gym owner is willing to trade free weights for a bunch of treadmills in order to create a playground for the local fatsos. In case you don’t know, gyms make most of their money from fatsos. There are two main reasons for that. First, many people are fat. […]
The reason why people get offended when you question their lifting doctrine is the need to associate with it. Admitting that your training method is inferior is like saying that you are ugly. Even if it’s true, we naturally want to lawyer our way out of every situation. This is why you should be careful […]
Zef Zakaveli is one of the most popular bodyweight masters. His online and offline presence has had a tremendous impact on the street workout movement. People are impressed not only by his skills but also by his muscular body. As a result, many begin to wonder whether a physique can become a reality without anabolic steroids. Let’s find […]
Many indicate the late 1890s as the beginning of bodybuilding since this was the time when Eugen Sandow started his muscle flexing shows.
