Heavy Duty CBL
I read an article the other day called the Ultimate Bulking Guide. What I hate about these guides, aside from their lack of scientific basis and poor grammar, is how they promise quality mass gains but only provide the normal rules of train more, eat more. More…
Resolution For Failure
Since it’s the new year and many already see several weeks of effort thrown toward achieving their resolution, I thought I’d put together a stupid-simple, bulletproof set of rules to fail this year, just like so many millions did last year…and the year before that…and before that… More…
Surgeon General’s Warning: DH.com Is Known To Cause Radioactive Superpowers
To me, a super hero is not only someone who does the amazing, but does it easily. Superman’s not super because he can lift a car—I’ve seen a guy lift a car before—Superman’s impressive because he lifts a car without effort. Superman wouldn’t seem so super if he strained with every feat of strength, blew a hernia every-now-and-again and had to take a week off from superheroing.
Interview with Kiefer about Carb Backloading
Here’s an interview with Kiefer conducted by Tanner Fox, a Carb Backloading true believer who had a few questions, as well as a nice testimonial about using this protocol himself. The guys just kinda launch into it after an amusing intro conversation, which you’ll catch the tail end of at the beginning of this track.
Topics Covered
This conversation touches on a ton of the curiosities you readers have expressed yourselves. Things like…

Go CrossFit!
It’s time I devote an article to CrossFit, and in so doing, reveal the secret origins of a pillar of the CrossFit lifestyle, WOD. What most of you don’t know is that WOD did not originally stand for Workout Of the Day. More…
The Shockwave Protocols 1.0
I wish this program had a sexy story, that it was born of some black-ops bodybuilding program, utilized long-forgotten methods of motor-unit control from ancient Hindu yogin, or was stumbled upon during epigenetic manipulation of the world’s most powerful athletes. The truth is far simpler More…
Addendum to 04/28/2010
I failed to be specific yesterday in my post. Although the Gold’s Gym in St. George, Utah is one of the best big-box gyms I’ve trained in, the best gym is a rather humble-looking barn operated by Adam Driggers for Team Samson in Jacksonville, FL More…
Fat Forearm Training
Why the hell are so many guys taking up a bench performing wrist curls? Scientists have yet to find an explanation for this phenomenon, but the dominant theory has something to do with their lack of a girlfriend: the longer they’ve been single, the more wrist curls they do. More…
Being Hardcore Is Dangerous
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about goals, both physical and cerebral, and I’m considering breaking into the magazine writing industry. I took some time to explore the flavor, tone and subjects covered in popular fitness periodicals, both of the print and internet variety. What I’ve noticed, besides the lack of sound advice, is the multitude of workout programs designed for mass, power, ripped abs, bulging biceps and bigger benches that are free of risk. More…
