Utter the 3 dirty words "Human Growth Hormone" or "HGH" and one of two things will happen. Either you'll get a certain Major League Ballplayers to cup their hand to their ear and say..."It's my cousin's not mine!" OR you'll get the response "How could you talk about that drug?!?" Well as everyone that knows me can attest, I've never touched a drug in my entire life (recreational or performance enhancing) and I'm firmly against the use of any illegal or unsafe means for getting "ahead" either for myself or my loyal members.

These advanced techniques get you from a good body to a great body. But the biggest nutrition mistake is trying to jump straight to these advanced techniques and NOT get the fundamentals right. Rule Number 1 - Calories Per Day For Men Rule Number 1 is eating the right amount of calories a day.

Metabolism is said to resemble a fire; in terms of how "big" or "small" it is. Essentially, metabolism is a general term given to describe all the activities and chemical reactions that happen in the body on a cellular level.
