A Technique To Gain More Muscle In Less Time, By Tom Venuto Wouldn't it be great if there was a safe and natural way to build more muscle in a shorter period of time? In this day and age of exercise gimmicks and quick fix solutions, most smart trainees would be skeptical if they heard such a claim. But guess what? Such an "animal" really does exist. No, it's not a drug. It's not some miracle supplement, either. Nor is it a newfangled piece of workout machinery. If you've been training seriously for any length of time, it's something you're probably already familiar with, but haven't fully exploited to the maximum degree. What is this method for building more muscle in less time? Surprise, surprise; it's called supersetting!

Recipes for Fermented Foods

Fermented Food Recipes Fermentation and  lacto-fermentation as been around for a very long time mainly as a means to preserve food over long periods of time when refrigeration wasn’t available. Today more and more people are rediscovering those old methods of preserving food because the taste is amazing, but also because it’s a great way to consume probiotics. Lacto-fermented foods are fermented by lactobacillus bacteria, which is a category of beneficial bacteria that feeds on sugar and that produces lactic acid as a byproduct. This is why lacto-fermented foods taste acidic. Just about any vegetables and even fruits can be lacto-fermented, but fruits will need much less fermentation time as they contain much more sugar. You can play around and try all sorts of funky combinations to discover some amazing tastes. Spices and herbs are also often used extensively to give an even greater flavor to the final product. For example, sour pickles are often flavo...

Try using a staggered hand position, feet elevated or on one foot, alternate pulling one knee forward or performing a twist during reps, heck, if you can manage it, try clapping or full body ‘jump’ pushups. Depending on your hand position you can target your chest, shoulders or triceps. They may be an old exercise, but they’ll kick your butt if you take the difficulty level up a notch! By the way here’s how you perform a Pushup properly… 2. One Legged Deadlifts – This is a favorite exercise of mine. Simply stand on one f...
