If You Can't Run, Walk, and If You Can't Walk, Then Crawl


We all have dreams and aspirations, don't we? It's those dreams that are a part of what makes life so interesting and wonderful. Whatever those dreams are, whether you want to be a huge muscle freak, if you want to lose excess pounds, or if you just want to feel good with your body, know that it is possible. There may be many setbacks and obstacles that you may have to face, but if you have a passion burning inside you to do something, know that your goal can and will be achieved, for all things are possible through Christ Jesus.

I'm going to tell you something, and this is the truth, so listen carefully. The only thing stopping you, is you. The thing you have to remember is that we are all wonderfully made by our Creator. In fact, we're made in His image. And being the amazing creation you are, you have an untold potential in you just waiting to get tapped. Get out of your own way with your negative thinking and doubt, and allow yourself to be who you were meant to be. And don't worry if you don't see a huge change right away, because sometimes, things take time. Take your journey one step at a time, little by little, and be grateful for your blessings. Remember, if you can't run, then walk, and if you can't walk, then crawl. Whatever you do, just keep moving, because as long as you are moving, you will reach your dream.

David Henry's Champion Body, and How He Rocked The Olympia and Sheru Classic


Nobody quite strikes my aesthetic eye quite like David Henry. His is a body that puts you in such a state of awe that it transcends the element of sport itself. I have always been a fan of David's, but at the recent Mr. Olympia and Sheru Classic tournaments, Henry only cemented for me why he is so excellent.

Resistance Is Not Futile


Let me ask you something: When you're in the gym, just how exactly are you lifting your weights? If you're the type of person that likes to go through your reps by lifting the dumbbell, but then letting the thing fall on its own, and then lift again, you could be missing out on some serious muscle gains. Studies show that it's better to keep a continuous state of resistance throughout your entire movement. For example, when you do a bicep curl, like the guy in the pic above is doing, explode coming up, but then slowly let the weight come back down again, before exploding back up. By letting the weight down slowly, instead of letting it drop, your working your muscles on the way up AND on the way down, thus maximizing your workout. The same is true with just about any other kind of workout, like leg presses, tricep pulldowns, chest presses, etc. The key is to push out, but then let your weight come back in slowly, so that you're resisting throughout your entire movement. Do this and see how much more muscle gains you'll get.

Phil Heath Does It Again


Can you imagine the clouds that Phil is swimming in right now, or the delirium from his excitement!? The Mr. Olympia is the biggest prize in all of bodybuilding; it's like the super bowl and the Olympics for muscle athletes. And to have captured this prize not once, but two times, and in a row, is outstanding. Phil has definitely earned his second consecutive title, although it was a CLOSE competition between him and Kai Greene. Check Phil out at the O after the jump.
