The Hardgainer Blog Carnival is returning.

The deadline for this one has already passed. The idea is to get 10 awesome posts and publish excerpts of them on this site. You get a backlink and possible traffic; I get a little break from creating all my own content

Win-win.

Ground rules: Fitness-related posts about building muscle, burning body fat, or increasing athletic performance. I'lll consider health-related posts, too, but they really have to be targeted the overall theme of this site. Your post does not have to be specifically about hardgainers.

Does that make sense?

Oh, yeah, the backlink you get for making a successful entry is Do Follow. Very valuable for SEO purposes.

I'll post the top 10 entries on May 31 and then again when I get to 10 great posts. So far, there have been a lot of submissions that are not relevant. Any suggestions on what I should do with them?

• A Bitingly Sarcastic Look at Useless Supplements and Worthless Training Equipment By Nick Nilsson Infomercials, stupid ads, terrible products and useless supplements are here to stay.

• Do What Your Momma Taught You I am very lenient with my comment policy. I want engagement and connections on this site, so I don't limit folks - I don't make you register or sign up for anything to post a comment and comments are "do follow" so, if you have your own site, you get......
• A Note About "Do Follow" Comments As you may know, I have set up this site (in fact, all of my sites) as "do follow" because I want to encourage active commenting. It is my belief that doing so will foster an atmosphere of caring and sharing and that this will benefit all of us who......

• Fesitval of Frugality #163rd Edition This is my 100th Post (thank you, thank you), kind of exciting that it is also my first time hosting a Blog Carnival.  I am hosting the 163rd Edition of the Festival of Fruality.  There were approximately 80 entries, but I only felt 60 were worth my readers' valuable time......
