I posted a series over at Best-Exercises.com that details how the 3 main phases and the recovery phase works in Metabolic Surge by Nick Nilsson. The first phase has been published. The next 3 will be published daily through Saturday.

Take a look and see what you think.

By the way, Surge is on sale through June 11, Midnight CST. Nick's giving away four fully-featured ebooks ($110 value).

I just posted an article about how to avoid overeating. If you ever have issues with eating too much (as evidenced by jeans that are too tight and shirts you can no longer button), then you’ll want to check this one out.

I just posted an article called, “The Metabolism Monster: Teaching Him That Fire Is Good” over at Muscle-Build.com. Check it out.

In brief, you have to give your body a reason to change and it’s a delicate balance between eating too little and too much. Your metabolism plays a critical role in everything you do to change your body, whether it’s muscle-building or fat-burning.

Is it possible to cure back pain in 7 days? As a long-time sufferer of chronic low back pain, I was curious when I read about the 7 Day Back Pain Cure. Once I got the book, though, I was a believer. After only a few days, I have seriously less back pain than I’ve had in years.

Really.

As you may guess, especially if you’ve been here before, I like to lift weights. I’ve recently gotten the “heavy bug” too, so having lower back pain has really put a damper on my enthusiasm for lifting heavy. Especially my newly beloved deadlifts.

But now I can.

When I was 12, I strained my back doing some hokey homemade hack squats. When I was 14, I could barely walk after a flare up. I distinctly remember gym class, trying to run pass routes during football games. It was horrible.

About 10 years ago I had a bad injury from poor form on some really heavy leg presses. In fact, I was nearly off my feet for 8 months. I was diagnosed with a bulging disk and spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal column). Short of surgery, there was no cure. At least according to the “experts.”

I’ve had quite a few bouts with these types of painful episodes over the past 30 years that I cannot remember a day without back pain. Until yesterday.

I am so pissed, actually, that I didn’t seek out this book sooner. But I guess I couldn’t, since it was just published this year. The author, Jesse Cannone, gives a complete analysis of all the things that could be wrong with your body, mind, and diet. And then he tells you how to deal with very specific back problems.

This book is literally worth its weight in gold. Actually, that’s way off the mark. It’s a paperback, so it doesn’t weigh much, but it sure is worth a ton of money. But by clicking this “back pain cure” link, it’s free (you pay for shipping and handling).

I really dig this book. It simply talks about the issues, the causes, and the cures. Stuff you won’t get from your doctor, therapist, or chiropractor.

NOTE: The links above are MY affiliate links. I liked the product so much because of what it did for me that I became an affiliate. I simply want to pass this information onto as many people as I can. Buy it from me or don’t. But buy it.

I’m going to make this quick because a friend of mine, Jeff  Anderson (you may know him as the “Muscle Nerd”), sent me over this email last night asking me to get the word out on some great training he has coming up this week.

Not only that, he’s actually willing to PAY YOU for taking part in the training!

No, not with some downloadable report…he’s giving out cold hard cash!

I’m pasting a copy of the email he sent me below so you can check out all the details.

Wait. No, I’m not. You probably already got this same EXACT email from somebody else. No, this is what I’m gonna do…

If you order Muscle Specialization Secrets, I’m going to give you a little bonus.

Actually, not one, but two reports I wrote myself:

Hardgainer’s Manifesto
Arms Race

Read about them, but don’t buy ‘em because I’m giving them away!

But ONLY if you buy Muscle Specialization Secrets through my link. Launch date is October 5.

Here’s a little taste of Jeff’s style. You’re gonna love this!

Yo! I need you to do me a favor, ok?

On Monday, October 5th, I’m launching my very LAST
bodybuilding program (“Muscle Specialization Secrets”).

Basically, it’s a full-blown MEGA PACKAGE that reveals a unique
training new method I’ve fine-tuned over the last 4 years for
taking even the most FRUSTRATING muscle group and forcing it
to kickstart new growth.

Chest…Back…Legs…Shoulders…Arms…Abs…

…ANY muscle will bend to your will! 

This is actually the same program I’ve used with my clients and
even some pro bodybuilders who needed to bring up lagging body
parts and it really works like crazy!

I look forward to hearing from you in the V.I.P. training!

Your “Champion For The Average Joe,”

Here’s one you may have never seen before — the standing Nilsson Curl. It uses your bodyweight, with your arms braced against a barbell, to do what at first appears to be a chin-up.

But it’s all biceps! The beauty of the standing version is that you can spot yourself (i.e., lift with your legs) to get in enough reps. In fact, this is the version I suggest you use at first because you may not be able to get in even one rep at first with the “standard” Nilsson curls!

Check the video of Nick himself performing the exercise. It’s really good stuff.

My friend Nick Nilsson has just released his latest Frankenstein workout routine, made especially for the arms. It’s called, “The Best Arm Exercises You Have Never Hear Of” and it totally will blow your mind.

I dare you to try the Nilsson Curl. It blasts your biceps like you won’t believe! It’s totally killer stuff.

There’s also the tricep pushdown, with a TWIST (not literally).

PLUS, he has separate routines for MEN and WOMEN. So, ladies, there’s no excuse not to pump up your arms!

I’ve always been a fan of Ironman Magazine. It always had that gnarly, old school-style feel to it. Plus, it’s always had a great stable of great — if mostly underrated — writers.

Right now, you can get a bunch of eBooks PLUS a subscription for one full year for a really low, special price.

I just published a guest post over at Muscle-Build.com called “Calorie Supplementation: The Answer for Hardgainers,” about weight gainer supplements. You should give it a read. It’s good stuff!
