When I was a kid, my favorite movie was Conan the Barbarian, starring bodybuilding legend, Arnold Schwarzenegger (multiple Mr Olympia winner, movie star, and now Governor of California). I loved how he didn't take crap from anyone and if you got in his way, he ceremoniously lopped off your head! The movie was kind of crappy (looking back on it now), but the physical superiority displayed by Conan left quite an impression on me.

I got an email from a reader recently and wanted to share with you the general recommendations I have for simultaneously building muscle and losing body fat. Rules of thumb for gaining muscle and losing fat simultaneously are: High protein Low carb Moderate to high fat (kind of comes with the high-protein territory, so to speak) Plenty of milk, eggs, beef, poultry, fish, nuts, protein powder (for between-meal snacks) 3 days a week weight training 3 days a week high-intensity cardio, coupled with 3-4 days of moderate-intensity cardio How much protein? I'd shoot for an average of 1 gram per pound of body weight

Here's a funny video about how squats can cure cancer, as told to a young man by a powerlifting robot. WARNING: Contains potentially offensive language and is somewhat negative towards bodybuilders and powerlifters at the same time (which I didn't think was possible)

I ran across this video of Lou Ferrigno competing at the Mr Olympia in 1992 after a long layoff. He looks incredible – yet he finished 12th! Dorian Yates began his phenomenal run that year, winning 6 times in a row. Related posts: The Top Twenty Bodybuilders of All Time How an 8 Time Mr Olympia Eats Bodybuilding Hall of Fame
