Do Fat Burners Work? Separating The Facts From The Myths!

In this post I want to talk about fat burners. Walk into any vitamin or supplement store and you'll find whole sections dedicated to fat burners and weight loss products.

I had a guy in the gym come up to me the other day and ask me if our muscles plateau as we age. It's a great question and something that a lot of people don't think about often. He was a kid (around 20 years old), and wondered if I was following a workout routine to build muscle or just following a routine to stay lean considering I am around 40 years old. He also wondered if his routine should differ from mine considering our age difference. Lets talk about what we discussed in this

Achieving lower abdominal definition isn't easy. It requires a lot of focus, discipline and sacrifice for these muscles to become highly visible and defined. When I look around the gym what I mainly see is guys with slight definition of their upper and middle abs. But what I hardly ever see is someone who has defined and deep lower abs and obliques. It's a shame because women have told me for years that the lower abs, the obliques, and the "V"that forms where the hips and lower abs meet,
