One of my articles, originally posted on  SearchWarp, was included on the latest blog carnival over at the Total Mind and Body Fitness Blog. It’s about how to bulk up and get ripped simultaneously. It’s a difficult concept to master, but it can be done, if you’re very careful.

The most important thing is to focus on your metabolism — you want to place it in an anabolic state. You’ll learn all about it in this article. If you want a full training and diet plan, check out my Hardgainer’s Manifesto (coming soon, but sign up now and get a discount when it’s released).

In any event, check out the Carnival, as there are a TON of useful articles that will help you build a better mind and body.
