Download a copy of this 100% free e-book about how to change your body type within 90 days: 3 Months to a New You.
I spend a lot of time each week reading books about weight training, but there sure is a lot of great info online as well.
The good thing about the internet: Information is free
The bad thing about the internet: Good information takes forever to find.
I guess sometimes you get what you pay for. If you’re not paying the money, you usually have to pay with your time to find the good stuff online. Here are a few readings that I came across this last week.
Straight to the Bar: Mark Rippetoe coaches the Overhead Press. A great YouTube video featuring strength coach Mark Rippetoe coaching the overhead press. Take some pointers from the video and make sure you follow them.
Stronglifts: The stronglifts 5×5 e-book. Great free resource with in-depth info on the most important exercises you should be doing.
Eugenization: Cholesterol is necessary… For building muscle. I know that a lot of people have been saying that saturated fat and cholesterol actually have health benefits. This article says you’ll need cholesterol to build muscle. Is cholesterol really a pre-cursor to testosterone? I’ll have to read more on the subject.
Stronger & Fitter: Why you shouldn’t read women’s magazines. I know, most of you are thinking “I shouldn’t read women’s magazines because I’m not a woman”. This article applies just as much to men’s magazines though, because you’ll be fed a lot of the same crap in those magazines. This is a good read.
Home Calisthenics: What are Calisthenics? A website about how to do body weight exercises at home. Especially useful if you’re traveling and don’t have access to a gym.
The
Bradley Simpson: What is More Important, Exercise or Nutrition? If you’ve read the e-book I recently wrote, you’ll agree with what this article has to say. A good diet with a bad training program isn’t as bad as a terrible diet with a great training program.
