Because I am challenged with Cystic Fibrosis it became extremely important that I supplement my body with a high calorie diet, complete with weight gain supplements, vitamins and minerals and so forth from the very beginning. The simple fact is that when you have a chronic illness and you are strength training at the same time, you end up burning the candles at both ends. Nutritional support becomes a crucial factor in determining progress in the gym.

Fast is the speed at which I traverse the freeway en route to the gym unless traffic dictates otherwise. Fast is how quickly I lose my cool when the traffic dictates otherwise. Fast is the rate at which time passes after turning 30. Fast is the food the majority of oversize people eat across the thriving nations.

Healthy Skin, Youthfulness and Bodybuilding

Posted by webmaster On July - 21 - 2007

Healthy skin, youthfulness and bodybuilding go hand in hand don’t you think? Otherwise, why would any of us work out? I mean, why bother?
