November 12, 2020 By Steve Burden

One of the greatest things about the fitness industry is how it constantly adapts throughout the years, never afraid to change its standards based on new information or techniques that are discovered.

While in years past you’d have heard bodybuilding great Arnold Schwarzenegger touting the use of supplements such as creatine, you’d likely have associated concepts along the lines of fasting more with holy men, like the Dalai Lama.

In the modern fitness world, though, they go side by side, considered some of the most effective supplements and dieting techniques, respectively.

The question is, though, while they are both effective individually, what happens when you combine the two?

To answer that, we’ll first have to look at what both of those things are.

Does Pre-Workout Break a Fast? (And Does It Matter?)

September 22, 2020 By Steve Burden

When it comes to the world of fitness, everyone wants to see results as quickly as possible.

Everywhere you turn, celebrities, athletes, and trainers are telling you about “the best way” to achieve your goals.

This frequently leads to people trialing new supplements, fad diets, and fashionable workouts, desperately trying to find one that gives them that “quick fix” they’ve been looking for.

But what happens when you try two options that not only don’t work together, but could potentially negate the effects of the other altogether?

Well, that’s what we’re going to be discussing today, as I’m going to look at whether or not taking a pre-workout supplement breaks your fast, and if so, does it actually matter?

Before we get started, though, let’s quickly go over what fasting and pre-workouts actually are.

Athlean-X, one of the most popular fitness YouTube channels, with over 10 million subscribers, dominates the fitness airwaves by giving science-backed advice on how to lose body fat and gain muscle.

But the ripped founder, Jeff Cavaliere, made a video against intermittent fasting, one of the most popular dieting protocols used by thousands every day as a tool for losing body fat.

Other fitness experts claim intermittent fasting is the one fat loss tool you’re not using that could take your body to the next level.

Are fitness experts spouting pseudo-science to ride the wave of popularity?

Or is the Athlean-X opinion on intermittent fasting wrong?

Does Intermittent Fasting and Bulking Work? (The Honest Truth)

February 19, 2019 By Kyle Hoffman

So you’re ready to begin bulking up to build some more muscle size, but should you use intermittent fasting?

Intermittent fasting is essentially a tool for weight loss. Some believe that intermittent fasting can essentially trick your body’s hormones into producing more HGH (Human Growth Hormones) and staying in an anabolic state.

This would help you put on more mass and get bigger, however after some research, the studies were inconclusive. Although the studies didn’t prove anything in particular, there may still be a place for intermittent fasting in your diet, so long as it yields sustainable, long-term results for you.

Yes, I’ve managed to complete a bulk cycle while using intermittent fasting, but I ran into a few problems along the way.

In this article, I’m going to cover how to execute a successful bulk and if intermittent fasting should play a vital role in that process. [Read more…] about Does Intermittent Fasting and Bulking Work? (The Honest Truth)
