That is a great magazine. Its nice to see one that actually has some decent articles for once. I had totally given up on the mags as a source of anything.
Congrats, Nathane! This is a great article. And wonderful to see this message presented to a very traditional sports nutrition audience. Way to go!
Hello my fellow plant based foodies, Check out this article I wrote for the WBFF's FIT & FIRM Magazine "Thriving As A Raw Vegan Athlete." I want to extend a huge "thank you" to Paul Dillett, Daryl Gazey and the entire WBFF team for allowing me to s…
Kyle,
Insulin spike is the goal before, during and after strength training if you are trying to build muscle. Reason being, the glucose from the dates drives the protein into your muscles faster than proetin alone, and ofcourse nothing at all.
If…
Ted, that is what I do along with a few soaked dates. Depending on your body type and goals a 3:1 carbs to protein is ideal.
Great product....love it!
I already love this product. This is the perfect product to use during your workout especially when mixed with the Vega Sport if your trying to add muscle. In regards to post workout, it is the best because of the low fat content and it can be mixed…
Holy Bruce Lee Batman! You should be in movies Dude!

I too use the UN branded BCAA's. Just checking to make sure i'm not consuming some garbage.
Vit D i have been relying on Cod Liver oil for. it has the recommended 400 IU's. Though living in Calgary, im not sure this is enough. And as for B12, it se…

Hey Kyle,
I have been using what ever BCAA's have been on sale. I find Dymatize or Ultimate Nutrition brands have been the ones I buy more than others though.
Glutamine I take from time to time as I like to cycle it. I really do not want to take m…
Understandable.
Another question.
What brand of BCAA's do you use? And is there a reason why you don't supplement with Glutamine?
Also, do you worry at all about the acidifying effect of these amino supps?

WARMING UP IS NOT JUST FOR YOUR CAR IN THE DEAD OF WINTER!
WHO NEEDS TO WARM UP?
Whether it's your first time strength training or you are a seasoned "Veteran of Iron" all of us need to warm up thoroughly before starting to exercise no matter what your age is. Athletes do it, actors & actresses do it, singers do it as well. To perform at your best and to help prevent against injury a warm up is absolutely necessary, especially before you throw down your initial set of Front Squats or you run your first mile. When I speak of warming up I mean so muc… Continue

Preparing for a fitness or bodybuilding competition is never easy, especially when you are doing it alone and your friends and family don't understand what it takes to step on stage. Competitions involve so much more than just a work ethic in the gym and the ability to stick with your nutrition plans. Don't get me wrong, training and eating is hard enough to mai

COMPLEXES FOR EXTREME FAT LOSS
A 1-2 PUNCH AGAINST BODY FAT
Combining strength training and cardio is an extremely effective tool for fighting unwanted body fat. An example of this would be to use complexes with either Barbells, Dumbells or Kettlebells to create the necessary intensity.
What is a Complex?
A complex is a series of lifts performed in succession with one piece of equipment to minimize rest time. When is say "to minimize rest time" I am not joking as the goal is to not set the equipment on the gr… Continue

Luis said… - Nathane,
thanks for the video and info. I am definitely going to work now on creating a warm up routine that really works for me. I used to do wrestling, have done yoga for six years (even lived with yogis) so this should be easy.
Surprising though that I really neglect the warm up and don't really like it.
So, how much do you weigh in this current picture? Sometime ago you told me you weighed 125 pounds (in the previous picture you had up) and it is very hard to believe because my body does not have the same definition as yours nor the same muscular look yet my LBM is 127 with 11% bf.

Stelle Sepidoza said… - Hi Nathane!
You have alot of good advice in the forums so I thought you would be the best person to ask regarding a fitness question I have. I'm training for a half marathon, my third one of the year and fifth one to date, but I'm hoping to get my best time which of course takes alot more effort. I know that recovery after workout is essential in muscle building and heard that lactate buildup in your muscles is what causes soreness the next day. I also heard that soreness is when your muscle tissues breakdown and grow stronger (hence the need for the proper post-workout food to assist with recovery). Which statement is correct? Any advice you have would be much appreciated. :)
