is it ok to take a work out from mens health mag or musscle fitness mag and just follow it or ues other sourc

Answer 1

The biggest concern I would have about following a routine in a muscle mag is that so many of these people advocate supplements of one kind or another.

Below is a link to several books by Ellington Darden, Ph.D. I purchased his Bowflex Body Plan book as a companion to my Bowflex and I think he's the most insightful nutritionist/body-builder I ever read.

He's written 44 books on the subject since the 70's and he's still as relevant today as he was then.

Check out his books first, I'm sure you can find something that will help you find a lifetime of fitness.

Answer 3

I don't know of any other sources but I will tell you this.You can't trust alot of the training routines in Muscle and Fitness because usually it's a featured bodybuilder giving his routine and diet.
The biggest problem with that is none of these pros are drug free.In fact most of the higher level guys spend 50-60 thousand dollars a year ob their drugs.
Some of the articles are useful and M&F is one of the better ones.After a certain amount of time you'll form an amalgamation of the routines and make one of your own.That's what I did and still do.
Don't pay attention to articles on supplements where a company that offers that product has a billion ads in one issue.All articles on supplements should have references to clinical study and every significant point in the article should be folowed by and asterisk or number that refers to the study.Joe

They have some useful routines, but for the best workout of your life, try this book:

"The Testosterone Advantage Plan." by Lou Schuler, et al. Here's the Amazon link:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/0743237919/ref=cm_cr_dp_2_1/002-2338454-2913632?ie=UTF8&customer-reviews.sort%5Fby=-SubmissionDate&n=283155

This book specifically addresses the diet and workout needs of MEN. Men are indeed different than women, which comes as a shock to many, especially (and oddly enough) to those within the fitness establishment, as well as those who advocate government sponsored eating plans (ie, the "Food Guide Pyramid," which is COMPLETE crap - avoid THAT BS like the plague.).

Someone else recommended "Body for Life." I would avoid that, for the author does not treat men any differently than women, it's another "one size fits all" program.

Also, avoid yoga, and Pilates, those who push cardio as a panacea, and all that other junk. All that is useless for your goals. You need to hit the irons, and "The Testosterone Advantage Plan" is the way to go.

Love, Jack.

Answer 5

that is exactly why they are put in a magazine, although it is recccomended that you consult your doctor before any new fitness plan. you get best results when you change your routine and ''shock'' your body a bit instead of the same routine. make sure you eat well also or else your hard work is for nothing

Answer 6

If you have no thought on how to cook tasty meals. If you are boarded of the exact same meals and want to try out one thing different but in the exact same time healthful than you need a plan

Answer 7

Hard to say, men's health goes off the deep end every once in awhile, try this site, I think you'll like it: bodyforlife.com and go to their exercises, I think you'll like their demos.

Answer 8

I guess u can, ask your doctor.
