Pretty much all the posts here on Real Weight Training stem from my experiences and conversations with others. I was talking to my brother on the phone the other day and he was complaining about his bicep workout. He told me every muscle group is his body was coming along nicely except his biceps! This is an all too common complaint, and not the first time I’ve heard it!

Layne Norton is a lifetime natural bodybuilder and an ambassador for the whole natural bodybuilding scene. Here at Real Weight Training we try to promote the natural scene when we can. Layne is one of those guys who proves that with hard work and excellent nutrition to back it up you can develop an awesome physique.
Layne has just released his first DVD called Layne Norton: Unleashed. This DVD is different to your average DVD which just shows a huge guy working out! Layne walks you through his training, nutritional, and supplemental strategies. Believe me, you’ll learn a thing or two from watching this.
I was browsing through my favorite online supplement store last night and I came across a (what I think is new?) protein powder from Optimum Nutrition called Pro Complex. Pro Complex is actually a blend of 8 different types of protein, is super high in amino acids, and have more glutamine than most other protein powders I’ve seen. Is this the ultimate protein source?
I have been getting a lot of emails lately asking me to explain what rep timing is, and why it’s important. Rather than answering each one, I’m going to write up a detailed post here and reference it for those who need to know.
So what is rep timing?
Rep timing is exactly that, timing of your reps. A rep is one movement of the weight. For example, on a bench press it would be lowering the weight down, pausing, the pressing the weight back up. How you time reps is very important, much more important than most people think.
This is just a quick post.
After reading loads of information online and talking to a few other guys who have tried it, I thought I’d give the No-Xplode/Cellmass stack. It’s been a while since I’ve taking Nitric Oxide, and I’ve never tried Cellmass before. I was very skeptical, but I have to admin, whoa, my lifts have gone up A LOT since I got on this stack.
I’m taking 1.5 scoops of No-Xplode 30 mins before my workout and 1 scoop of Cellmass straight after my workout. I follow with a whey protein/waximaize shake about 15 mins after that.
This is the start of my 4th week and I’m really impressed the results.
