Marc David's Uncensored Bodybuilding & Fitness Podcast

This video rocks! This six minute video will show you step by step how to make your own homemade supplement energy workout drink. But before you watch the video, let me tell you some of the reasons why I like it so much. For starters we ve all spent countless dollars on supplements. Who hasn t tried a fat burner or wondered during their cutting cycle if just this one particular product might work to help chemically stimulate them to lose weight? Or the pre-workout blues where you don t have the energy but you see the guy with the 1 gallon jug of some Nitrix Oxide mixture, caffeine and Yohimbe to get them amped for the workout ahead? To date, I m not a huge supplement fan myself so I don t spend all that much money but I did. When I was 18 years old, I feel for tricks of the trade. I skipped meals and didn t train like an animal in favor of the flashy ads. We ve all been fooled at some point. It s why marketing and advertising works so well and why people who can write, literally write their own paychecks. But I m getting way ahead of myself! For starters If you do like pre-workout drinks and you want to make your own, here s a really simple recipe that you can follow that will have you amped for those workouts. Maybe you ve heard the saying? “Nothing is more persuasive than a good demonstration” If you tell them, they doubt you, but if you show them, they believe you.” “Marc, do you think X brand of fat burner will work? Do you think I should spend my money on a pre-workout drink? I m tired before I hit the gym and I need something. Please help. I don t have a lot of money so don t recommend something too expensive okay” I get these all the time. And that brings me to this video you’re about to watch and why I like it so much. It s hard enough to talk you thru making your own supplements. There s confusion on what to buy, where to purchase the bulk products and how much to put in. I m going to defer that question to the guy who likes to make his own supplements. Frankly NOTHING beats a good demonstration. So, watch this demonstration, and appreciate a much education of homemade supplements. Credit and a big thank you go to the producer of this video, Jeff The Muscle Nerd Anderson, The HomeMade Supplement Chef!, Thanks Jeff. Some companies may hate you for spreading this video. I m sure some people will thank you for saving them a boatload of money. Almost everybody will appreciate the simplicity you demonstrate in this video on making your own pre-workout drink.

Image Credit: ninja999 Do you ever wonder how they do it? How do fitness experts get their hands on a research study and break it down for the layman to understand? Do they know something we don t? Do they really just print out 15 or more pages of a long, methodical study and read it word for word, first page to last and understand it? For example, a new diet study from the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) compared low fat, low carb and the Mediterranean diet. Here s 2 excellent examples of fitness experts, breaking down just this study for you, reading far beyond the abstracts or the studies quick conclusions. Sites That Got It Right: Diet-Blog Burnthefatblog They like us, use a formula to read beyond the headlines, media frenzy and comprehend the article. Almost all the reporters got it wrong, wrong WRONG! So did most of the gloating low carb forumites and bloggers. Come to think of, almost everyone interpreted this study wrong. Some valuable insights came out of this study, but almost everyone missed them because they were too busy believing what the news said or defending their own cherished belief systems … - Tom Venuto I Am Going to Show You How: how to read a research study know if the expert you are following has read the study and comprehended the study be able to spot experts who use this formula from the others who skim and jump to conclusions Why This Matters to You: If you aren t interested in learning how to read one, that s fine. But make sure the guru you follow is READING and interpreting the study correctly based on the whole study. Let s get started with how to read a research study! Structure of a Research Study: Any professional research study contains the following sections: Abstract Introduction Methods Results Discussion References Sources (sometimes the references and sources are combined as a single source of citations) You may find that some research studies section names vary just a little, e.g. Methods could be Research Methods or Methodology. If you have in your hand a “research study” that doesn’t contain at least 90% of the above aforementioned sections, you don’t have a research article. If you are reading an article or blog post that doesn’t summarize the same sections above for you, you don’t have a summarized research study. See the Section Definitions below if you aren’t familiar with what each section contains. How to Read a Research Study: It’s Not First Page to Last! My first inclination is to print out the whole thing and read it from beginning to end. Usually by the end, I’m confused, bored and tired. You don’t read the first to last page unless you’re already familiar with the topic. The Right Way to Read a Research Study: 1. Start with the abstract for an overview. Reminder: Do not draw conclusions. Here’s where many people if they even bother to view the source stop. They reach a conclusion after viewing just the overview! That’s wrong and it usually leads to distribution of misinformation. You’d be surprised but most media outlets only read the title! Or the conclusion only and then report that to the masses as fact. 2. Read the first paragraph or so of the Introduction to get a general idea of the topic. Go to the last paragraph to read the hypothesis if any. 3. Skim the Discussion to see how the study turned out and any results. 4. Time for the details! Head back to the middle part and read the Methods section carefully and plan on re-reading this a few times to digest it all. 5. Read the Results section. You can use the Discussion section for clarity on what the statistics mean. However, don’t get bogged down in the details of the Methods or Results section. Just obtain an idea of how the hypothesis was tested. 6. Read the Discussion section closely. Pay attention to details. 7. Read the whole study, first page to last. Re-read it again for the best comprehension. What The Section Means: ABSTRACT: A summary of the main points of the article: here’s where you’ll find the purpose of the study, the hypothesis, the methods used, who was studied, and the conclusion or the findings. While you should read this first to get an general overview, a common mistake made is to draw conclusions just from the abstract. INTRODUCTION: This section contains relevant background information, contexts and the predictions to be tested (the hypothesis). It may contain some references to previous studies related to the same topic. METHODS: The approach taken in the study is in the methods section. Here you should find detailed information about the research methods used. The questions asked the setup of the study, ages of the subject, number of subjects, procedures, testing conditions, and the approach that will be taken for data analysis. RESULTS: Data is summarized in this section, relationships between variables and any differences in the groups should be reported in this section. The analysis should reflect something about the predictions that were described in the Introduction section. Comparisons might be included to explain findings and to explore any unforeseen findings. DISCUSSION: You won’t find numbers or many stats here but you will find them summarized in a narrative form. How the study coincides with the hypothesis and any previous studies on the subject are discussed in this section. Suggestions for the need for further studies on this topic frequently are found in the discussion section. REFERENCES (Sources): A listing of the sources cited in the research study such as articles, books and possibly other studies. This could include sources not directly used to are still relevant to the research topic at hand. A little trick is to use the reference list to find many other sources on the topic. Now that you understand how to read a research study here s some practice for you. YOUR HOMEWORK: Use this diet study from the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) compared low fat, low carb and the Mediterranean diet. Remember, almost everybody got this one wrong! Let s see if you read the study if you find the same conclusions. QUESTION: Do you think the following headlines are valid?

Cytosport s latest edition to the protein line Monster Milk is finally live! As of June 28th, 2008, Cytosport ran their first batches of this high quality, high content protein aimed at the bodybuilder who wants it all, in a single jug. MSRP is around $54.99. Monster Milk Flavors: Chocolate Vanilla Strawberry Muscle Milk Supplement Facts: (Photo of Supplement Label) At 350 calories and 50g of protein per 2 scoops, this isn t a gainer nor a meal replacement but a pre-workout BOMB that s bound to cover all the bases. Although you can take it prior to sleeping. It s lower in carbohydrates with only 18g per serving than it s other brothers in the protein line. 50g of protein makes this one way to get a fair percentage of your daily protein in a typical, best of breed when it comes to taste, protein shake. Of course you ll get plenty of aminos and a Monster Milk Creatine Matrix to boot. There s way less fat at 9g than your Muscle Milk shakes. Monster Milk doesn t appear to share that precise make up of it s Muscle Milk brother. 5g of fiber?! In recent food shows, adding fiber to sports supplements is the rage. Many faithful bodybuilders who have plenty of fruits and veggies don t have issues with fiber, but so many people do that adding 20% of your daily allowance without any negative side effects or ill tastes, sure is a good idea. I think I ve even had a pudding at a recent show that had 5g of fiber and tasted just like chocolate pudding. Supplement Facts Quick Sheet: Serving Size: 2 scoops (84g) Servings per container: 12 Amount per Serving: Calories: 350 Calories from fat: 80 Total Fat: 9g Total Carbohydrates: 17g Protein: 50g Monster Milk Ingredients: A picture is worth a thousands words. But how to you take Monster Milk? I recommend people FOLLOW the directions. And there you have it once again, the makers of Cytomax and Muscle Milk have released a new, higher protein with a different make up aimed at the bodybuilder, code name Monster Milk.

Question: Does drinking alcohol once a week ( In moderation, like 6 to 7 drinks of 7% per drink of alcohol contents ) affect building muscle or muscle we have? - John C. My Answer: As a group, bodybuilder are more health conscious of the foods we put into our bodies than the Average Jane or Joe.  I picked up the following line from Arnold Schwarzenegger in regards to soda pop but it applies to anything that doesn t directly provide nutritional value or support for the individual. Why take something the body doesn t need right now? - From Arnie Goes Crazy This question comes to me more often than can I build muscle and burn fat at the same time.   It s a valid question and one that requires a bit more than what I keep hearing you shouldn t drink any alcohol if you are serious about bodybuilding people who on a fat loss quest wouldn t be caught dead with a drink in their hand drinking completely destroys your muscle building efforts having even just one drink can ruin a week s worth of gains and so many more statements made by people who ve never done a set of JD Squats (Jack Daniels Squats) While it s true that alcohol has many negative effects on muscle building and the worthless calories from each drink can add up, especially on a fat loss quest where you re always hungry and every calorie counts, you can still indulge. But first, let s take a look at generally what alcohol does to the body in relation to the bodybuilder who s trying to build as much muscle as humanly possible. The REAL Effects of Alcohol on Your Body Many of us associate the effects of alcohol on the body with the heart, lungs, liver, brain, memory, etc. Furthermore, if asked about effects of drinking alcohol in terms of our fitness goals, most people will let you know about the infamous beer belly. You know what I m talking about right? Drink too much and you end up storing too many calories as fat. Many people will choose low calorie alcohol drinks or low carb alcoholic beverages in an attempt to avoid the fat storage issue. They feel that by making this choice the only bad effects of alcohol - increased fat storage - will be minimized. But what you didn t know is that only about 5% of the calories from alcohol are stored as fat! [14] Then it hit me as it should hit you right about now The effects of alcohol on the body are far more damaging than can be predicted by the number of empty calories in some alcoholic beverage. The truth is 1- Alcohol really affects the amount of fat your body can and will burn for energy! In a study done by the American Journal of Clinical Research [4] they concluded that just a mere 24g of alcohol consumption showed whole-body lipid oxidation ( the rate at which your body burns fat) decreased by a whopping 73%! When alcohol goes thru the liver, the by-product is called Acetate. It would appear that acetate puts the proverbial brakes on fat burning. Your body can use many types of fuel. Protein, carbohydrates and fat. In many cases, the fuel used is dictated by it s availability. Trouble is Your body tends to use whatever you feed it for fuel right? As your acetate levels increase, your body burns more acetate as fuel. What this means is Fat burning takes a back seat! What it all boils down to is this a) You consume a couple of alcoholic drinks or more. b) Your liver metabolizes that into acetate. c) Your body uses the acetate for fat as fuel. 2- Increase in appetite In another American Journal of Clinical Nutrition study, there was evidence to suggest that consumption of alcohol lead to an increase in appetite over that of any other carbohydrate type drink. [5] Researchers over in the Research Department of Human Nutrition and Center for Advanced Food Studies in Denmark [8] concluded that consumption of alcoholic beverages, and wine in particular, may enhance total energy intake at a meal relative to a soft drink, when served with no restriction. 3- Decrease in Testosterone and an Increase in Cortisol A study of 8 healthy male volunteers observed that after drinking alcohol, the effects of a significant decrease in testosterone and an increase in cortisol (a muscle destroying hormone) lasted up to 24 hours! [6] The only real question to ask yourself is this If you are serious about building muscle and burning fat, you want all the free testosterone levels you can get and you want to reduce cortisol in any way you can. That means go lite on the drinking because it does affect your hormones. What more Is that the effects were even worse if you exercise before drinking. [1] This means that if you are going out and will be drinking more than a small amount of alcohol, you might as well skip the gym. Not shocking is a study done by the Department of Radiology, Sahlgrenska Hospital, Goteborg, Sweden [2] that determined increased waist to hip ratio of alcoholics may include not only changes in adipose tissue, but also in muscle tissue distribution. In layman s terms.. that means more fat around the waist and less overall muscle mass. 4- Decrease in vitamin and mineral absorption When you consume large quantities of alcohol, your liver is busy converting the alcohol to acetate and any vitamins and minerals that it might process are taken up by the detoxification process. Alcohol interferes with the metabolism of most vitamins, and with the absorption of many nutrients. Alcohol stimulates both urinary calcium and magnesium excretion. [13] This just means that you ll get less of a benefit from the healthy meal you may be consuming. Food in the stomach will compete with ethanol for absorption into the blood stream. It is well known that alcohol competes and influences the processing of nutrients in the body. [12] 5- Decrease in protein synthesis of type II fibers This means the actual building of muscle is slowed down by 20%+ or more. This included a 35% decrease in muscle insulin-like growth factor-I (GF-I). [9] 6- Dehydration A common side effect of alcohol is dehydration. Alcohol is a diuretic. Drinks containing 4% alcohol tend to delay the recovery process. [11] Considering how important water is to muscle building and general health, it s clear that dehydration can put a damper on your progress. After alcohol consumption the first thing you might want to do is drink coffee. But that s a diuretic as well. How to avoid dehydration? Drink more water. 7- Sleep Alcohol consumption, especially at the times when you would normally sleep, can have effects on the quality of sleep. Clearly high quality sleep is extremely important to the rebuilding and growth process of muscle. Without proper rest and recovery, your gains will be affected. Alcohol consumption can induce sleep disorders by disrupting the sequence and duration of sleep states and by altering total sleep time as well as the time required to fall asleep. [10] 8- The next day A rather obvious conclusion but if you plan on drinking on a Friday night in excess then the leg workout you thought of doing on Saturday morning won t be top notch. It takes a bit to recover, your body to detoxify and for you mentally to be prepared to workout. Not to mention you need energy for the workout ahead. Sure you can hit the weights but my point is It s not going to be the best workout you ve ever experienced. At this point you might be totally discouraged to ever drink any alcohol again. But there s some good news. Here s proof In the November 2004 issue of the International Journal of Obesity [7] they did a study on the effects of moderate consumption of white wine on weight loss. Each group consumed 1500 calories. 150 calories came from white wine in one group and 150 calories from grape juice in another. The conclusion? An energy-restricted diet is effective in overweight and obese subjects used to drinking moderate amounts of alcohol. A diet with 10% of energy derived from white wine is as effective as an isocaloric diet with 10% of energy derived from grape juice. It s simple: Moderation is the key! (with first place being abstinence as you already know).  1-2 drinks per day for the general public, is considered moderation. As a bodybuilder looking for the best possible muscle gains, maybe 1 drink per day or even 1 drink per week would fit into your goals.  However, 6-7 drinks would be detrimental to your muscle building efforts.  You re better off having 1 drink a night for 7 days than 7 drinks in one sitting.  Again, moderation. My friend Todd Scott of How to Get Six Pack Abs, has an excellent method for those who DO wish to drink 6-7 beverages in a night.  He s got a neat little plan outlined in his nutrition section that details what to do if you know you ll be out for a night of drinking. In any event The effects of alcohol on your body when it comes to building muscle and burning fat are quite clear. It is a lot more than just some extra calories stored as fat. If you consume too much, it can derail your goals a lot longer after your head has hit the pillow and you ve gone to sleep. References: 1.

What is your ideal body fat percentage? According the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) they have come up with a very simple body fat percentage chart that outlines from the essential body fat needed to survive to what is classified as obese. You should be able to use this body fat percentage chart to find your ideal body fat percentage based on your gender and age. Average Body Fat Ranges for Males and Females Gender Male Female Male Female Male Female Age 18 - 39 40 - 59 60 - 79 Essential Fat 2% to 4% 10% to 13% 2% to 4% 10% to 13% 2% to 4% 10% to 13% Underfat 5% to 7% 14% to 20% 5% to 10% 14% to 22% 5% to 12% 14% to 23% Healthy 8% to 19% 21% to 32% 11% to 21% 23% to 33% 13% to 24% 24% to 35% Obese 20% + 33% + 22% + 34% + 25% + 36% + * Chart courtesy of the ISSA Note: You may have heard terms like the following: Lean, ripped, shredded, contest shape, competition shape. If so, those terms generally refer to the category listed above as underfat. For example, if you are a male, who s 25 years old, with significant muscle mass at 6% not only are you lean, you are probably ripped, shredded and huge and possibly standing on stage in contest shape. Body Fat Tips: In the past few years, I ve received many questions (mostly from males) asking if they should bulk or cut first. I use this chart as a reference in conjuction with their overall goals. I prefer to use my current body fat as a health gauge vs. my height vs. weight. If you are a tall skinny person with a rather unusual higher than normal percentage of body fat, you d be very unwise to start bulking up and adding more body fat without first knowing the reasons why you might be in your particular situation. Using body fat as a measurement vs. other visual aids is more accurate, safer and will help monitor your overall muscle gains or fat loss. * If you are a male or a female who s looking to step on stage or just wants to look good for summer, then take a quick body fat percentage check. Using that, you can then determine your best option if it s to cut or bulk. * If you are at the top end of healthy or considered to be obese by body fat percentage standards, focus on burning the fat. Your goal should be to get healthy first and then adjust as necessary. If you are already at the top end of healthy and you want to bulk up, you ll get stronger but you probably will add more fat to your body composition making you more at risk. * Take a body fat measurement weekly or monthly to get a continual status update of your progress. When you start a new program you should take a new measurement for a baseline. * Don t let a body fat measurement control your life! It s just one of many indicators of progress and/or health. A body fat caliper can be quite accurate with practice but seek medical advice in conjunction with your own findings. ShareThis Related posts No related posts.

Jeff Anderson has created a brand new program that launches to the masses on TUESDAY of next week (May 6th) @ 12:00 noon (Chicago Time). This program has been appropriately called Advanced Mass Building ! The title pretty much says it all and it really IS ADVANCED ! This is NOT a collection of soup can curl workouts it s NOT about core training it s NOT about interval training it s NOT about ANY kind of foo-fooey pansy workouts! I did get myself an advanced copy and took a very detailed look at it while on the plane ride from Florida. I had a good 7 hours to go thru each page and the workouts. After doing a lot of Tom Venuto s stuff and being a conisour of hard, intense, gut-busting workouts, I can without a doubt tell you Jeff s got a killer combination here. Bring a stop-watch to the gym, a towel, some type of recovery drink as you ll need it. He s also promised me an interview on Friday, May 9th, 2008 where I ll get to ask him detailed questions about his program. I m going to post some more specific details in the next day or so. UPDATE: Be on the lookout from a message from me, Marc David about this Advanced Mass Building program from Jeff Anderson. I m going to be including some very special bonus offers of my own just for people who take advantage of this offer thru me.

In recent news, the global hotspots for hunger is only getting larger and more diverse. In just a few short months, I ve heard conspiracy theories from disgrunted ex-employees of large companies who believe they understand the causes of high food prices. In fact, they do not. To fully comprehend the food prices, it s necessary to step out of the thinking locally mentality and see it from a global perspective. High food prices are not caused by greedy supplement companies or the increased demand for pestisides on local farm crops. While that can change the local economy to some extend, it s but a rain drop in a massive tsumani. Source: FAO, 2008 The 7 REAL Causes Of High Food Prices: A sluggish U.S. economy. If the President and company doesn t want to admit it, that s fine. But facts speak for themselves. People are buying less. Record setting crude oil prices and peak U.S. gas prices. A larger than normal demand for biofuels and a decline in corn inventories. Drought reduced harvests. Commodities speculators. Rising demand for food supplies in massive countries like China and India. Out of all the expert theories, reason #6 will continue to make the biggest long-term impact. As China and India start to demand more foods (eggs, chicken, dairy, fuel) than ever before, the supplies we bid on are now being bid on and consumed by other nations. This increased demand globally will affect the food prices locally.

I m a huge fan of FitDay.com, a free online food journal for counting calories. However, many times I ve not been able to find a particular food I ve eaten. FitDay allows for custom food entries but sometimes you just don t have the package nutritionals handy. Or maybe you aren t sure and don t feel like launching an Internet hunt to find out exactly what you just ate. That s where this little FitDay custom food entry trick comes in handy. Using the database of another site (a site I also like) you can quickly enter custom foods into FitDay and expand on their food database ten-fold.

After doing my routine calorie calculation formula, which I ve not used in a long time, I figured I needed 2952 calories to maintain my daily activity. Since summer is fast approaching, I decided to start cutting. That means at a comfortable but conservative 20% calorie deficit, I would need around 2361 calories per day. Imagine my surprise when I input what I HAD been eating vs. what I thought I was eating and got the number around ~2000 calories a day! Not cool. All this time I figured I d be eating what I had been since my last bulking period and it turns out I m below a 35% calorie deficit and have been slowing down my metabolism. That does explain a lot. Needless to say, I m eating more now to burn fat and turn back on the furnace. Don t make the same mistake. Do some basic measurements and determine your calorie situation at least monthly to keep on track. Nothing will undermine the re-building of your metabolism like inconsistency. If you stop and start, or skip meals and workouts often, you will not even get off the ground. - Tom Venuto Reminds me of a good article on How to Repair Metabolic Damage Share This Related posts No related posts.

Seriously… can that word even be used next to bodybuilding without laughing hysterically? What in bodybuilding today is truly revolutionary? Think about it for a moment. For the sake of argument, let’s just agree that Creatine was the last revolutionary thing to hit the bodybuilding market. Well documented, over 300 peer reviewed research studies. (If you didn’t count supplements, I can’t think of anything recently that would classify!) That was some time ago. Since then, nothing has truly been revolutionary. Not HIIT, not high volume, not supersets, not one set to failure, not body weight exercises, not rest-pause, not instinctive training, not tri-sets, bi-sets and giant sets. Or drop sets. You get my point.. all good stuff though. Today we have fitness experts that describe an exercise in vast detail and slap their names on the movements. You’d think at first glance, they invented this exercise! In fact, many of the unusual exercises today are just from the 1950’s. Ever heard of a Bench Press to the Neck? Not new. Vince Gironda documented that one back in 1950 something. How about in using dumbbells for the bench, you turn your palms inward? Revolutionary? Nope. Vince again. Photo Credit:ryanhartsock My intent of this blog is to point out stuff that works from the fitness experts of the past and the modified stuff we find today with more modern modifications that work from what we’ve learned to get the BEST possible combination in which to choose from. It would be a shame to lose the history of the great bodybuilders who forged this path and gave us some really fantastic exercises and philosophies when it comes to bodybuilding. If at all possible, I always quote or mention where I got it. I’d sure like to be revolutionary but in all honestly, I’ll just point out what works, where you can find the best information and I hope you’ll keep me honest. After 17 years of natural bodybuilding, I know a thing or two. Experience does count for something. Revolutionary… it still makes me giggle.

There s way too many articles, eBooks and forum posts dispensing bodybuilding tips as if that will just apply to everybody. The consumer of the information, YOU should realize nobody can give a personal, case by case basis by posting fact after fact. What works for ALL of us, may be the worst situation based on somebody s personal life, circumstances and situation.
