p.s. If you are a beginner or intermediate, you need to get Solid Performance, the next WorldFitnessNetwork e-book on specific weight training exercises. Order now and you’ll get Train Better for free. Just go to http://worldfitnessnetwork.com/more/solidperformance.html now!

Now he has worked with Empowered Nutrition to create Done-For-You Meal Plans.
I’ll write more about it tomorrow. You can pick up a free report now at http://budurl.com/vincemealplans, but don’t buy anything until I read it and give you the “ok”.

I saw something interesting the other day at the gym.
I saw an average-sized guy in his mid 20’s who was obviously trying to build up some muscle. He looked like he had some padding (weight) on him, but he didn’t look too out of shape. The thing that caught my eye is what I saw [...]
