When I was first getting started in working out with weights, like most newbies, I began to read the muscle magazines. You know the ones with Arnold, Lee Haney and all the other Champs on the covers. The ones that said to do 20 sets for your biceps!
Like so many other guys, I was duped into thinking that these magazines were like scientific journals, filled with valuable training information. I didn't see what they were really about; selling supplements.
The magazines are in the business of selling their supplements. Period. In fact these days, most of the major magazines are owned by supplement companies.
I am not going to go off on too much of a rant, but I just wanted to touch on the fact that many guys are STILL reading these magazines, chasing the next workout program and diet.
My advice, and I have taken it, is to quit reading the muscle mags. Even stop reading the magazines aimed at the average guys, the fitness and health magazines. These are a bit better, but in the end, they add to the confusion out there.
There are no magic routines or diets. There is you, the weights, hard work and dedication. These qualities will lead you to the promised land.
Don't fall for the gimmick and fads. Focus on the basics and your results will astound you!
'tll next time,
