A No BS Approach To Looking Great Naked
Today’s article, like many others, was inspired from many email conversations I’ve had and many forum discussions I’ve stumbled upon. The question I pose today usually originates from the overly obsessed individual or the more oftentimes, former fat boy.
The question is quite simple. How many calories must one eat over maintenance each day to gain as much muscle possible with the least amount of fat accumulation? Here is what the email/forum post usually consists of. [Read more...]

About six weeks back, I received an email from a female who has been strength training for the last 5 years. She started when she was an overweight, out of shape college graduate who had added quite a few pounds since starting her new 9-5 desk job. After her newfound love for strength training and moderate cardio, she experienced a fat loss of 20 lbs over a period of about 6 months. Her body composition changed pretty drastically as the new muscle gain was evident 20lbs later.

I’d like to read how to gain 5-10 lbs bodyweight in 4 weeks. perhaps a post about gaining weight in general? Cheers, Marc
This is a great topic that has been discussed ad nauseum on many fitness and bodybuilding forums. However there seems to be some confusion about the process, especially the right and wrong way to gain weight(ideally muscle mass). When you look at the process of gaining weight, purely from a physiological standpoint, a surplus of kcals rules out indefinitely.
Since those of you reading this are most likely interested in looking great naked, I think it’s safe to say you would like to gain the most lean muscle mass possible with the least amount of fat. Yea, I know, this would be ideal and if we lived in a perfect world, we would not even have to work out to look great in the nude. [Read more...]
