There are three core things that you need to religiously check in order to build your summer body (whether it is to build muscles, get lean or whatever it is you want to achieve bodybuilding-wise), and together, I call them the ‘TRIANGLE’ of bodybuilding: EXERCISE, NUTRITION and adequate REST. Sleeping on any of these three […]
For the most part of my childhood, I dreamed of being really tall, and I had no doubts that I would be. I mean, I loved eating beans very much. I was made to believe that beans were the best source of protein. It’s a food I really couldn’t get enough of, and in my […]
Just in case you didn’t know, being a vegan means restricting one’s diet to plant products only. This is a bit different from being a vegetarian which just entails avoiding meat.
