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?
