There’s no shortage of influencers and moguls in the fitness industry, all fighting to earn followers, sell (sometimes questionable) products, and recruit personal training clients. But Jeff Seid is an anomaly of sorts. The youngest-ever IFBB professional bodybuilder revealed one of his all-time favorite aesthetic workout splits, coupled with his carb-cycling cutting plan and supplement list. The question is: will the Instagram star’s … [Read more...]
An Aesthetic Forearm Workout for Mass & Strength
The forearms are like the calves of the upper body. They’re incredibly stubborn, you pray that other exercises will target them by sheer luck, and they’re far too weak by the end of a workout to justify a few isolation sets (all common excuses). … which might explain the T-Rex arms. But if you want to super-size your forearms to match your growing bis and tris, Jeremy Ethier’s Forearm Workout might be your answer. Here’s a look at … [Read more...]
An Aesthetic Chest Workout for Bigger Pecs
Your first pit stop after walking through those gym doors is where ‘men become boys,’ parting the crowd to claim your spot in the bench press line. But the progress is somehow evading all logic. You add 45 after 45, can bench 1.5x your body weight, and make steady progress every week. And, yet, your chest gains are stalling, and your pecs look … well … less than impressive. A shirtless jog or beach day should be a point of pride, not … [Read more...]
Beachbody’s Hammer and Chisel Workout Program (Review)
Hammer and Chisel 5.0/10 Learn More See Best Rated Quick Review: Beachbody’s Hammer and Chisel workout program is hit or miss. The supplemental materials are informative, you’ll get a decent workout more often than not, and it’s a worthwhile program if you have basic fitness goals (lose weight, gain a little muscle, etc.). But it drops the ball time and time again. Almost every day is a full-body workout, … [Read more...]
P90X Workout Review: Schedule, Cost, Equipment, & Results

But it’s a grueling program (with 90 min workouts) that can wipe you out pretty quickly. If you’re looking for workouts that are “fun”, this is definitely … [Read more...]

Zyzz’s Aesthetic Workout & Diet Plan (Intense!)
Zyzz became an internet phenomenon back in 2010 in forums like 4chan and bodybuilding.com, flooding talk spaces with photos of his skater hair, tattoos, and absolutely ripped physique. Notorious for his untamed ego, desire to catch the female eye, and hope to create envious forum-goers, Zyzz paired his buff photos with taunts like “u jelly?” His cult-like following was a bizarre mix of coming-of-age Millennials and amateur bodybuilders … [Read more...]
Jeff Nippard’s Fundamentals Hypertrophy Program [Review]

John Meadows Program Review: Baby Groot by Mountain Dog
When Guardians of the Galaxy hit the silver screen in 2014, one unlikely character grabbed the most fanfare: Baby Groot (of the later “I am Groot” meme). With a bizarrely muscular physique, this mini tree-like species lived in the shadows of the OG Groot, credited with being invincible, courageous, and able to regenerate post-damage. Are you prepared to unearth your inner-Baby Groot? Championship bodybuilder John Meadows certainly thinks … [Read more...]

An Aesthetic Shoulder Workout for Mass (Bigger Delts)
No matter what you call ‘em — shoulder caps, boulders, cannonballs, even coconuts (if you’re feeling a little risqué) — the shoulders are the black sheep of the upper body. They earn a nice residual pump as you crank out incline bench presses and cable rows. But by the time you load the bar for military presses, those delicate deltoids are already destroyed. Fight through the fatigue in the name of volume — risk overtraining or … [Read more...]
Aesthetic Calisthenics Workout to Build Dense Muscle
The classic “gym bro” lifestyle just isn’t for everyone. Between the slamming weights, long wait times, equipment hogs, and achy recoveries, you wind up face-to-face with one brutal choice: Bite the bullet in the name of gains? Or sacrifice an aesthetic physique entirely? The long-forgotten third option — calisthenics — is the middle ground we shun as “not good enough.” Push-ups and lunges could never compare to the real bench and squat … [Read more...]
Your Butt is Photo Shopped…🙄
Your Butt is Photo Shopped…🙄 “Your abs are photo shopped” “Your butt is photo shopped” 😂 (now I had to giggle at that one) When I first started sharing on social media years ago I had a wicked strong core and defined abs. Something I had worked REALLY hard at. I would constantly get comments (usually from someone with a pet or plant as a profile picture) that I was photoshopped. It hurt. A lot. When video became a thing on IG those mean … [Read more...]

Circumstances Keep You Stuck
Circumstances Keep You Stuck Circumstances and the past can keep us stuck… It’s so easy to focus on circumstances, set backs, what’s wrong, what USED to be and what happened. Dang injuries, dang ex, dang economy, dang situation, dang age, dang WHATEVER. And… none of that gets us to where we want to be. None of that helps us grow. None of that we can control or change.
