This month I cover:

Veggies and Muscle Mass

Sincerely, Darrin

I’m coming to the realization that most of you are probably “settling” when it comes to your gym. If you belong to a commercial gym, then you have most equipment you need, but not everything.

Most commercial gyms pretty much suck. Despite the high # of equipment, it’s often the wrong mix. Of course, they are better than hotel gyms.

But the environment of the commerical gym also stinks. The people surrounding you are doing the wrong thing, with the wrong attitude. And I’m a firm believer that to raise your level of performance in any activity (from parenting to training to career), you need to surround yourself with positive influences.

What to hear me rant? Read on. But most of you probably have better things to do than listen to me complain, so I’ll understand if you want to skip this one…

Oh, and did you hear about Solid Performance yet? It’s only $37 and includes Train Better To Gain More And Lose More for free! Just go to http://www.worldfitnessnetwork.com/more/solidperformance.html to get your copy!

Hi everyone – I’m putting the finishing touches on the World Fitness Network guide to specific exercises and I need your help.  I’m stuck on what to call it…
I’m really excited about it – It’s over 150 pages with descriptions and photos of how to do the most important weight lifting exercises.  A great go-to-guide [...]

I’m ashamed to admit something. I’ve been recommending The Truth About Six Pack Abs for a long time. Read my review at http://worldfitnessnetwork.com/2009/03/the-truth-about-6-pack-abs-review-and-critique/ . And no doubt, it is worth every penny and you should get a copy if you haven’t already.

But my admission here is about all the bonus books that come with it. I have to admit, until this past weekend, I simply skimmed those.

Well, I just read the 33-page workout report from Turbulence Training (Craig Ballantyne) that comes with it. It’s called the Dumbbell-Bodyweight (DB-BW) Fusion Workout. Remember, this comes free with Truth…

Two quick questions for you:

1) It seems that the Science Updates and the Q&A Posts get less overall response. Because they take a lot of work, I want to make sure my time is placed right. Would you prefer a monthly Q&A call-in teleseminar, where I start off sharing some science background, then take your questions (which you could still send in if you didn’t want to be on the phone live)?

2) There was a lot of response and interest in my fat-burning, weight training program. I’m going to be on that for another 2-3 weeks but then will go to a 5×5 program. I’m working on tweaking the 5×5 program I’ll use but I wonder, are any of you are doing a 5×5 program? and would you share your ideas/stories?

As you know, I promote other people’s products on this site. I am in the process of putting some really amazing stuff of my own, including a VIP program, and will be sending out a survey in a couple weeks to help me understand more about what you are interested in. Please watch for it, and when it comes out please take the time to respond.

In the mean time, I’d love your views on the first two questions! Just comment right here in the comments section of

Thanks!

Nobody can go from undefined, fat, or flabby and one week be ripped. And I had my doubts about this article, that it would promise overnight results. Sure enough, it starts out talking about “getting ready for an unexpected beach event” or even “suddenly getting that date with a particular girl” as the impetus for the overnight cure they were (supposedly) about to unveil.
