One of my favorite winter sports is skiing. I just love getting out into the great outdoors. I especially love being on mountains and breathing in the cold, clean air while working my body thoroughly as I ski down the slopes. Because skiing requires mental concentration, it is, what I call, an effective “mind flush”.

In other words, it doesn’t allow me to think about anything else. I find that participating in skiing takes my mind off things for a while, which charges my batteries for when I get back to Labrada Nutrition. I put a lot of energy into helping others get into the best shape of their lives! (more…)

Remember that abs are built in the kitchen…in other words, you need to follow a proper fat loss bodybuilding nutrition plan coupled with weight training exercise and some cardiovascular exercise  in order to lose the body fat.

The first plateau breaking method that I introduced in this site was my favorite 10 sets of 10 reps bodybuilding training method. However, like all routines, if used for too long the body adapts and then bodybuilding progress comes to a screeching halt. Today, I want to discuss another popular method for breaking plateaus called the 5 Sets of 5 Reps Method. This method has also been used in bodybuilding circles for years for the purposes of breaking through plateaus and accumulating new lean muscle mass.

Reg used this method quite successfully back in the fifties and sixties.

Let’s look at the facts. You DO have to eat extra calories and protein to pack on quality muscle.   But, bloating yourself up with a lot of extra pounds of fat and fluid doesn’t just look bad,  it hurts your health, not to mention not doing a thing for gaining muscle mass. My philosophy is that you can get just as BIG as the guys that are porking out,  without overeating.  That means you can stay leaner and healthier, not to mention looking better, year-round. (more…)
