Think about what you want to accomplish.  More importantly, think about why.
Still even more importantly, be specific… VERY specific about why the time is NOW.  You can start a training program any time.  What’s so special about today?
Above all, don’t ever tell a trainer, “I just want to get in shape”.  That means absolutely nothing.

Being the always considerate, caring, warm-hearted (and only occasionally sarcastic) person that I am, I figured it would be helpful to you, my dear, insensitive readers - if I provided a brief lesson on ways to call someone a “lard-ass” without the risk of overstepping bounds of common decency.

Earlier this week, a friend reminded me that back in the ‘old days’, steroid-assisted athletes who’d get slapped on the hand would be the ones who came in second place.

Can I have a cheat day/cheat meal/cheat week?
What about a bag of chips/cookies/donuts as a post-workout meal?
Can 5 minutes on a treadmill/bike/cross trainer count as my workout for the day?
But I had to chase my kids/run around the office all day…

Bodybuilders: All Show and No Go?

As a one-time competitive powerlifter, bodybuilders can still be a frequent (and oh, so easy) target for me to write about.
