Protein is a macronutrient in foods essential to your body to ensure the optimal functioning of your body systems. Such foods include lentils, filets, chicken, Greek yogurt, or squash seeds. They help transport blood within your body organs, boost hair and nail growth, sustain healthy glowing skin, and build muscle tissues that ensure your body works efficiently. Rebuilding body muscle is vital because it enables you to work out and improve faster, restoring additional muscle. In this case, when you gain more strength, your body can burn off a lot of fat, reducing body weight. Hitting your protein goals with

Why Kodiak Power Waffles Are The (Almost) Perfect Anabolic Snack

Erik Bowitz — Sat, 27 May 2023 18:35:58 +0000

Finding a protein-rich snack that can be stored for periods of time and that isn’t a powder can be difficult. Sure, protein shakes are great, and as such, they’re my go-to protein source post-workout, particularly the bulk custom blends from True Nutrition. Then there are protein bars, which in my opinion, can be real hit-or-miss in terms of flavor and texture, so I usually only buy those if I know I’m going to be traveling and am worried about getting my daily protein intake. But after over a decade of bodybuilding, you get pretty sick of most of the protein

Magic Spoon Peanut Butter Cereal

Erik Bowitz — Sat, 04 Feb 2023 20:38:13 +0000

In case you haven’t been following, I ordered a 6-pack of Magic Cereal protein cereal because well, I love cereal and it’s the middle of winter and I’m trying to bulk up a bit! Mixed with some whole milk and the concept of a protein-rich cereal as a late-night snack is a tempting proposition! So far I’ve tried the Cinnamon Roll and Blueberry Muffin flavors. The Cinnamon Roll was terrible and I couldn’t honestly recommend that one to anyone. The Blueberry Muffin flavor faired a bit better with a surprisingly intense blueberry flavor but still not great so I ended

Natural bodybuilding is all about making the best out of the genetic cards you were dealt. While this can be discouraging at times, especially when comparing one’s own genetics with those of a genetic freak, it is also encouraging. Maximizing Your Genetics “Naturally” If you can diagnose your genetic weaknesses you can target them twice as much in the gym and with proper training and diet chisel away at them to a considerable extent. For example if you have naturally small shoulders you can place a training emphasis on overhead pressing over flat benching, on dumbbell lateral raises over front

An In-Depth Guide To Making Gains While Burning Fat

Erik Bowitz — Thu, 26 Apr 2018 03:21:58 +0000

Getting huge but staying shredded: it is a rubiks cube of a puzzle that has perplexed the bodybuilder for millenia. The problem with getting huge but also being shredded comes down to the natural way in which our bodies work; to be anabolic and build muscle the body needs more calories than it burns to add this extra mass. To be shredded requires burning of fat, which requires you forcing your body to use stored fat for energy, which means being in a caloric deficit. Gaining muscle in a caloric deficit is impossible and losing fat in a caloric surplus
