So I pop open Yahoo to check my mail and I glance at the recent idiot article they posted (well, this is what I call it anyways, because its almost always garbage).

Well, for once, they posted something useful. It was this article.

In summary?

A study found that the minimum amount of exercise per week needed to stay healthy, is less than 10 minutes.

What they didn't mention is that this is actually a far better means for health AND fitness, than doing mindless "cardio".

Skeptical?

I was to until I began applying what I read in Body by Science, a revolutionary book that will #^C* up your world when it comes to exercise.

So what did that mean exactly?

After nearly 2 years of working out 7 days a week, I stopped, and instantly flipped over to 1 day a week, quicker than the drop of a hat.

At the same time I've gotten progressively stronger, week by week, after being stuck at a plateau for months. I've gotten better sleep, and have felt more energy as each day goes by.

Better yet, I've actually gotten more cut in that short amount of time, an elusive goal that evaded even 10 hours a week of "cardio" in the form of half marathons, insane jump rope sessions, and even 45 laps straight of swimming.

It's hard to believe, but the proof is in the mirror when I see new veins and more of the old ones.

Anyways, well get more into this in future posts. If you really want to know more, pickup Body by Science at your local book store, or for a quick fix check out world famous author Tim Ferris's blog about how he gained 34 pounds of muscle in 4 weeks right here using similar methods/concepts.

Today I am more interested in pointing out the article, and more importantly, how 99.99% of the comments, are all the same, negative, socially conditioned, re-hashed garbage.

Unconsciousness as the spiritual folk like to call it, that is, people have no idea what they are posting. They are fed beliefs growing up, beliefs that everyone else take to be true about exercise, and when something goes against that belief, they get angry/frustrated/upset/etc and they emotionally re-act.

"This is an outrage"

"How irresponsible"

"Total BS"

"Shame on this person"

and on and on, take your pick from 300+ of the same exact comments, or take an even closer look at the people who exercise hours and hours a week in a steady low intensity state and post as if they are defending their lives (which, in one respect they are if they identify with their habit of excessive and damaging exercise, and long held belief that they are never working out "enough").

When the reality is, what the article cites, coincides with massive amount of research, and real life results from thousands of people around the world.

So who's doing the responsible thing?

The original poster with the balls to ruffle some feathers, or the blind leading the blind, all feeding into a collective unconsciousness, a digital "riot" of sorts.

Thats the reason you are getting results, because you are resting. If your working out that much when exactly were you thinking your body was replairing and building?
And did you not think that you would be less tired after going from working insanly hard every day every week.

ok are you a book promoter or something??? this is the 2ND thread in the past week you've made praising "Body by Science" and shunning the belief of cardio benefits. I'm still waiting for that proof which you completely avoided in your first thread...

This is physically IMPOSSIBLE even with all the anabolic-androgenic steroids in the world. Any member of the steroid section at Bodybuilding.com will completely agree with me. And to none-the-less do it naturally in 28 days would take 10 acts of God all at once. Stop posting false, misleading information.

Would it not be possible if the person doing it was an extreem case (i am thinking the colorado experiment)? If people have had a history of body building and took a few months slump would it not then be possible. I know this is an extreem case and shouldnt really be used for reference but it is possible.

A little crash course in Steroidology 101.

When comparing different injectible steroids the easiest way to separate them is according to their ester. Some have long esters (Enanthate, Cypionate, Decanoate, Undecanoate, etc.), others have middle length esters (Hexanoate), then you have short (Propionate, Acetate, Phenyllpropionate), and finally you have no ester (referred to as Base/Suspension).

Now why is this important? Simply because unless using a short/no estered compound it will take roughly 2 weeks, given the longer half life, just to get into your system and most gains won't even be noticible until 4-5 weeks in. But if you were to take a short estered combo, such as Trenbolone Acetate and Testosterone Propionate, you would literally "feel" it around the end of week 2. And then you have the no estered compounds. Let's use the example of Testosterone Suspension. Test Susp is a quickly active steroid, and needs to be injected 2x/day to keep blood levels stable. The gains are nearly instant, and you'd be able to clear a drug test in only 3-4 days after discontinuing it. But with anything that sounds this good there's always a catch. You see Test Suspension is some powerful stuff, it will throw hormone levels all out of whack and you will see a significant amount of bloat with a high risk of experiencing sides of gynecomastia (bitch tits) and the majority of your gains will be lost.

But on to my point....

Steroids aren't magic. They require proper training and diet to achieve worthy results. If you did not have a well formulated lifting program, along with a clean diet one would see a gain in fat. However, if you did have your training and diet spot on the gains are phenomenal due to the enhanced effect of protein synthesis and many other factors. But here's my main point. Even with short/no esters, I've never seen reports or heard from any other users of gaining more than 15-20lbs in a 4 week span of lean muscle. Not even an eperienced bodybuilder would be able to accomplish this. Don't get me wrong if you threw in high dosed test prop/base, tren ace, and dianabol you could hit 30lbs BUT IT WILL BE A TON OF WATER AND FAT. If this whole 34lb thing was based off an 8 week period I would say yes it is possible, hard, but possible. And once again, this discussion was based off supposed "natural training" which would make reaching this goal next to impossible, I don't care how good ones genetics, training, and diet are.

Body by Science is an amazing book, a must read for anyone interested in body building and such. In no way shape or form am I affiliated with the authors (I wish!), who have worked with guys like Mike Mentzer, Arnold, and Bruce Lee, among others.

If your hating on Tim Ferris, go do it on his blog. The link is in my original post on my blog.
