I found out this morning that one of America’s best conservative voices was silenced. Ron Silver has died. I am shocked and saddened! I did not even know he was sick. A truly great conservative American voice has been taken from us.

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are nutrients that your body needs to be able to function properly. In strength athletes (bodybuildiers, powerlifters) EFAs assist in muscle growth by enhancing testosterone levels. These fats are needed by strength athletes to rebuild muscle tissues and protect joints while working out.
In addition to being necessary for muscle development and energy in bodybuilders and powerlifters , there is a plethora of mounting evidence that shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that EFAs are necessary for countless metabolic processes in the body, healthy brain function, improved fat metabolism, healthy sex drive and libido for people in general. Yet, while the popularity of EFAs is growing, as a bodybuilding supplement or dietary component, EFAs are only now beginning to get the attention they deserve.

There are so many nutritional companies in the world that deciding on what supplement brands to try is simply bewildering. Not only that, but even within individual companies there can be a lot of confusion, simply because some companies offer hundreds of products.
How on earth can anyone be expected to separate fact from fiction, one product from another, one brand from another, etc., when there is so much to choose from and so little in the way of definitive information about what is truly best for us? It’s a serious conundrum with some pretty serious implications to both your health and your pocket book.
Sadly, when push comes to shove and you are standing in front of a wall-full of products at your local vitamin store, most of us end up closing our eyes, pointing our finger, peaking through slitted eye and furrowed brow, taking a chance, shelling out some cash, and buying something just to get out of the store. This tried and true approach of trial and error hardly sounds like fun, and in truth it is not. It is a lousy experience, and hopefully, this entry will simplify this problem so that you do not have to deal with it.

Building large, strong muscles is not easy on the body. Intense exercise forces the body to adapt in several ways. One of the ways in which the body adapts is by building bigger and stronger muscles. This is called hypertrophy, and that is a good thing. Building bigger and stronger muscles is what the strength athlete strives for every day of his and her life.

Important Notice To Readers: Total Physique Online is no longer officially endorsing Ironmaster LLC. This is not a decision that was made lightly. It was arrived at after much discussion and consideration.
For the time being, I have decided to allow my Ironmaster posts to remain public. I am doing this for informational purposes only, primarily due to requests from several readers. In addition, as a courtesy to my all readers I am leaving the comments for Ironmaster products in place. These comments are very valuable and serve to help folks make a good choice regarding their purchases. Additionally, my reviews of Ironmaster products will also remain unchanged. It should be noted that at some point in the near future, these pages may be removed or replaced.
For the record, I enjoy the flagship Ironmaster products. I have considered it a privilege to recommend them to you, my readers, for the past three years. Ironmaster Quick-Lock Dumbbells are superb. So is the Superbench produced by Ironmaster. In my view, these two products are in a class of their own.
It is my sincere hope that in time certain concerns will be addressed. If and when that happens, then I will be able to revisit this decision. However, until such a point in time, Total Physique Online will not be reconsidering its position regarding this matter.
Again, it should be noted that these recent changes have nothing to do with the quality of the Ironmaster product line whatsoever. Rather, certain other concerns came to light over the course of a six month period and, as a result of these concerns, a change of direction was decided upon. I truly wish Ironmaster nothing but the best. – Webmaster
