Planning Your Diet Tutorial

Just follow the steps below and the video will walk you through how to figure out your daily calories using the automatic calculator here on the site.

But first a rant…

I know diet can be really confusing but honestly and truly the biggest problem I see with peoples diets is that that don’t even eat REAL FOOD. Eat from scratch. Period. That’s it.

You don’t have time right? That’s poor logic. Why would you waste an hour in the gym, plus travel time, if all your sweat and effort is for nothing. If you are still eating packaged materials, with all the chemicals and empty calories, the gym might slow the damage but you’ll never look and feel great.

I didn’t write that without thinking. Every word of it is true. Find a frozen dinner or breaded chicken in the woods for me. You can’t do it and that’s why your body gets so messed up when you eat that stuff. It doesn’t even know what to do with it. Sometimes, it will even classify it as poison. That’s when you get gut rot, drowsy, headaches or water retention.

The food industry is scamming us so hard, that we think being fat and feeling like crap is normal and that skinny people must work real hard or not eat hardly anything. It’s lies.

Here is how to figure your daily calories if you like to do things by numbers:

Is Muscle Soreness Necessary For Muscle Growth?

By Nick Nilsson

That’s the question…do you need to be so stiff and sore you can hardly move or scratch your nose in order to get maximum muscle-building results?

*Quick note from Ray - In addition to this article, I go into DOMS and soreness in the members forum here as well.

Anybody who has ever touched a weight knows the feeling…

It happens the first time you do squats or deadlifts…the first time you do negative-only training…the first time you do an exercise you’ve never done before…

Ironically enough, as painful as this feeling sometimes is, it can actually be quite addictive! Many people I hear from actively seek out ways to make themselves sore because they love that feeling of soreness.
