The movie 300 no longer needs an introduction. The connection between the movie and my site, should also be obvious. Everyone’s writing about and reviewing the movie, and the buffed up warriors, and especially - the grueling workout routine that the actors had to endure in order to look how they did in the movie. It’s obvious that a little manipulation of makeup played a small role in enhancing the definition of their physiques, but make no mistake - they DID have lean, admirable physiques that made most of us walk out of the cinema saying “wow… i wish I looked like that…”.
So, allow me to fast forward to Mark Twight - the exercise guru and former world-class mountain climber with a no-pain-no-gain attitude who is the man behind the training of the actors who he put through his routine called, what else - 300. The actors trained for a duration ranging from eight to ten weeks with a goal of shaping them to look not like bodybuilders, but as close as possible to a Greek warrior. What’s the difference you ask? [click to continue...]

Dear DM,
To be honest, my body is pretty ok, but I’m suffering around the butt area and was just wondering what is the most effective form of cardio to get rid of it? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Heyho Gym Goddess!
Firstly, I totally admire you for saying that your body is ‘ok’ - cos in my opinion, very rarely are women today satisfied with their own physiques!
Secondly, understand that most women gain weight and store bodyfat easily in their hips, thighs and butt. Which is also why there’s no surprise you almost always see the women hogging the machines that target these areas at the gym (the next time you step into your gym.. just see for yourself). So it’s no surprise to me also, that you, just like most other women, ask this question again and again. [click to continue...]

I’m currently on N.O. Xplode and I notice that the label says that I should consume it on an empty stomach.. is it okay if I take them together with my pre-workout meal, which consists of a protein shake?
Ok.. I think its about time I address this issue before it gets outta hand. N.O. Xplode needs to be consumed on an EMPTY STOMACH, which means the last meal you have had must be at least 2 hours before that. So, NO, its not okay to consume it together with your protein shake as you’ll only reduce it’s effectiveness. [click to continue...]

If you’re a personal trainer - it’s most likely this article is going to offend you. So, be warned.
If you’ve sticked around long enough on dailymuscle.com, you would have realised by now that I’m not really a big fan of personal trainers. Now, don’t get me wrong - this is not because I don’t believe they are good, but mainly because I believe there are so many personal trainers out there, who despite the certification they possess, still lack the experience, the knowledge, and most importantly - the personal passion for the pursuit of physical fitness.

You’ve all heard my views on motivation… well now, get ready for my take on demotivation.
Ever been SO demotivated that you just can’t find yourself doing anything productive? No mood to work, no mood to get up in the morning, no mood to dress up and look good to face the day… a demotivation so strong that even when youre in the midst of seeing actual results of your hard work, (losing fat fast, muscle definition, strength gains) but yet - you’re just not able to motivate yourself to drag yourself to the gym. Sounds pretty bad, doesnt it? [click to continue...]
