Sometimes smart people do stupid things, so don’t fall for these stupid myths
1. "Doing weights will bulk me up."
Truth: Muscle is denser than fat and thus takes up less room, so two people who weigh the same can look much different if one has a higher ratio of lean muscle mass to fat. Check out this example: Same women, same weight…
See the difference?
Also, the ONLY way to ever bulk up, is to eat more calories than what you burn off…This makes you gain weight mostly as FAT!
Sorry this is a bit late, but some things are worth the weight.
Chew on this. I know it might be hard to swallow, but give it a chance to digest. Some might not find it palatable, but hopefully you can stomach the truth.
It is just some food for thought. You might even have a belly laugh.
Until we eat again,

PS: Leave me a tasty comment morsels below!
There are many things is life that can be reduced to either fiction or fact.
Here is an example of fiction: It is too late for you to change your body and your health because you are (pick any) too old, too tired, too busy, too many kids, work weird hours, too much of a giant wuss etc.
But here is a truth: Nothing is more powerful than the human mind. If you believe it, you can make it happen. I have seen it more times than I can count.
And to that end I say be the pig.
I have never said I was perfect. Oh wait – yeah I have.
Ok, I have never said I was better than anyone else. Oh… actually I’ve done that too.
Hmmm…
How about this: when I said or implied either of the above things I was lying my ass off. Ok, there we go- that sounds about right.
Some people truly believe that because I am a trainer and pretty damn good at my job that I must always be perfect. While it is true that I do not drink, smoke or gamble, I am not exactly Amish either.
I have some HUGE news (and even HUGER news that have been purposefully keeping under my hat).
First the HUGE news:
I have transformed the transformation program. That’s right, I have made the best transformation program in LA even better. Now, just in time for summer we are not doing the uber successful “6 Week Body Transformation Program”… now it’s the
6 Week BELLY Transformation Program
(Truth be told, you will transform your entire body, but this time the emphasis in on getting rid of that stubborn belly fat!) A full on abdominal assault! Get ready to rock summer with the flattest stomach you have ever had and your best body ever. We are launching soon, so keep checking your email for the official launch date.
Let me say from the entire staff of Carter Fitness, and from my family as well as myself- Happy Holidays.
This has been an odd year to say the least. It has had it’s ups and downs. And it seems this year for many of us has had more downs than ups. First the gas prices went through the roof, then the economy hit the crapper. It make you wonder what is next?
I’ll tell you what is next: 2009.
You might think it is just another year, another date and just another chance for those is power to screw things ups.
Just to be clear, I am not selling old guys. To be more precise – I am becoming one.
Tomorrow, September 23rd 2008 I turn 37 years old.
You are now undoubtedly saying one of two things: “That isn’t that old” or “Damn, that’s old.”
Depending on the particular moment, I could either agree with you or tell you to F off. Again, it depends on the moment.
Fire Sale
Truth be told I do not *feel* old, I still think of myself as 17- Although I am literally old enough to be the parent of the majority of the contestants on American Idol.
