A Scientifically Proven Way To Build The Perfect Male Body Let’s face it, as men we workout and eat healthy for one reason and one reason only: to look good. And while that may sound vain, the truth is, the majority of men go to the gym so that they can build a better looking body.  There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to look better, especially with how critical society is on physical appearances these days. And don’t tell me you go to the gym so that you can lower your blood pressure or whatever. If we lived in a world where working out didn’t produce better looking bodies, I’m guessing most guys wouldn’t even step foot in the gym. But as millions of men slave away in the gym in order to build the perfect male body, most of them don’t even know how to build it. What is the perfect male body? The perfect male physique is one where any man, woman, or monkey will look at you and say “Damn that’s impressive.” It’s really that plain and simple. You want a bod...
How to Build the Optimally Attractive Physique Having a perfectly attractive physique isn’t as difficult as you might think. You see guys on the cover of fitness magazines and whatnot and yeah, in order to get their physiques you’d need exceptional genetics and the help of your neighbourhood drug dealer. Unfortunately, as naturally skinny dudes we don’t have best muscle-building genetics. Also, most of us don’t want to break the law, spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, and suffer some unsightly side-effects in order to take steroids. I certainly don’t. Does that mean we can’t have an optimally attractive physique? Hell no! What women are drawn to is exceptional masculine  health.  Guys on steroids look very strong and very masculine, but they hardly look like pillars of health—at least not to women. It’s very impressive… but mostly just to other dudes. In terms of attracting women, you could say  that sexy is a visual representation ...
A CONVERSATION ON AESTHETICS AND FITNESS Written by Shane Duquette on January 16, 2017 In this article we’re going to do something a little bit different. The idea came from one of our members. He started off by saying something fairly controversial. Then, as other members prodded him, instead of backing away from it, he doubled down. And I think his arguments are pretty compelling. First, let’s set the stage. In our articles about attractiveness, we make the argument that attractiveness is visible health. Being  very  attractive just takes that one step further. Instead of looking healthy, you’d have to look healthy in a way that truly stands out—you’d have to be  conspicuously healthy. For an overweight person, the best way to build a more attractive physique is to become visibly healthier by losing fat. For us skinny guys, the best way to become more attractive is usually to build muscle. There are lots of objective goal...
Battle of the Strength Sports by  Erick Minor  |   07/17/09 Tags:  Powerlifting & Strength Leonardo da Vinci wrote, "Where there is shouting, there is no true knowledge." I don't know about you, but I've heard a lot of shouting in my many years of serious training. Powerlifters shout at bodybuilders because bodybuilding produces mountains of muscle tissue with no functional purpose. Strongman competitors look down on powerlifters because there's more to strength than a one-rep max in three lifts performed with a minuscule range of motion. Olympic lifters, if you can find them, get to feel smug because every 4 years, you can turn on the TV at 3 AM and see them compete for gold. And everyone hates on CrossFit. But what do we get for all this sound and fury? Does picking one strength-training system to the exclusion of the others help you reach your goals? Or does it hold you back? It's time to make peace. There's no...
