Fasted Morning Walks
When you wake up in the morning, make sure you don’t eat any calories (stay fasted). Drink a cup of black coffee, a cup of tea (no cream or sugar), or pop a caffeine / fat burning pill. Then go for a 1 hour walk (don’t run – keeping BPM in the fat burning zone).
Do this as…

Designer supplements have their place in the supplements market, but did you know that you can get pretty much the same supplements of equal quality at a cheaper price if you build your own? Lately I’ve fallen in love with TrueNutrition.com because it lets me do just that.
Forewarning: I’m totally going to nerd out on supplements on this one.

Hamstring tightness is quite common in many athletes and they are darn tricky to loosen up. I’ve had my share of tight hamstrings so I wanted to share some quick tips that I found have worked for me. Here are my list of tips in no particular order (I find that I usually go through the entire list and randomly find that one of the bunch did well that time…

A lot of you probably already know that losing just fat is hard, and gaining just muscle is even harder.
There was a point in my life when I was overweight. At that weight, I was still able to play basketball and run many miles without any issues. I knew I was strong and athletic, but I was still fat nonetheless. So one day I decided to lose fat by…
Sorry I’ve been bringing you guys a lot of food porn lately, but I just can’t help it.
Cooking is a bit of a recent obsession of mine and I’ve been trying to make the most delicious foods that I can make that will fit into my macronutrient requirements.
Here is a recipe for my rest day where I should be eating high protein, moderate fat, and low carbs: Honey Mustard Bacon…

I previously reviewed the the Gamma Labs Pre-Training Formula (PTF) and even though the review was pretty good, one of the bad points was that the pre workout supplement was a bit on the pricey side.
Gamma Labs took my feedback quite seriously and now they have just released a new revamped packaging to include 33% more PTF per bottle for the same price.
Priced competitively, now the price works…
Here’s a little Sunday gem for you guys.
Ideally, on your workout days, you want to be consuming lots of carbohydrates, lots of protein, and as little fats as possible (more on the why in a later article). This is easy to do if you just eat chicken breast all the time, but chicken breast does get boring after one week.
So what can you do to try to keep…

For my rest days, I try to go low or pretty much no carbs. But just because I can’t eat carbs doesn’t mean I can’t satisfy myself with some delicious foods that fits into my daily macronutrient requirements!
One of my more favorite things to cook and eat is Rib Eye Steak. Why? It’s meaty, delicious, satisfying, and has a good amount of protein.
Here’s how I cook the steak:…

If you love pancakes as much as I do, then you probably already know that it’s one of the worst foods to eat if you’re trying to get fit (due to its high carbohydrate and high fat content).
Fortunately, there is actually an ideal time for you to be feeding yourself such sweet soul food, and that time is during the post workout feeding window.
Ideally you’d want to be…
If you’ve been an athlete as long as I have, you probably have some hard-earned calluses on your hands and feet.
Calluses are natural and is your body’s way of adapting to the friction you’re subjecting your skin to day-by-day. Calluses can be a good thing since the callused areas are actually hardened dead skin that is resistant to mechanical and chemical insults (allowing your skin to take on more…
Last time I did a positive review on some of iMetabolic’s products and now I am ecstatic to announce that the iMetabolic guys are giving away some of their goodies to one lucky TweakFit reader. As I’ve said in the review, these items contain macronutrient ratios that are pretty ideal for workout day nutrition and rest day nutrition (see review for details on which is which). Without further ado, let’s get…

If you are the type that loves powdered supplements (e.g. protein powder, pre workout supplements), you’d know that fishing out the scooper in a new powered supplement tub can get quite messy. You know what I’m talking about. When these supplements get shipped, they get tossed around and somehow, the scooper always gets stuck in the center of all of the powder. When you open it, there is no scooper…
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving! Hopefully you guys are all ready to feast your heart out. Since I don’t want to be a party pooper and rob anybody out of their Thanksgiving food glory, I’d like to provide some quick holiday eating tips on how to eat like a king at holiday dinners while minimizing fat gain. Here are my tips for holiday eating outlining what you should be doing the day…
My workout days are my favorite days out of the week because that means I get to get 20% more Calories than my basal metabolic rate for that day and macronutrients for those days are typically high protein low fat and high carbs (carbs tastes so good!). Last time I mentioned a list of high protein low carb snacks from PROTEIN POW(D)ER which are ideal for days when your macronutrient…
If you missed it, I previously wrote about the top 10 rated pre workout supplements. After publishing that article, the nice guys at Gamma Labs contacted me and asked if I can help review their new Gamma Labs PTF (Pre-training Formula). Being the supplement nut that I am, I agreed that I will do an honest review of the product (no matter how good or bad it is). Let the review begin!…
