What are fat loss pills and how do they work ?

Fat loss pills are usually highly profitable, aggressively marketed products distributed in the dietary industry. They are mainly used as shortcuts when individuals do not see the results they want in appearance as fast as they would like to or for professional bodybuilders to cut down the last few percentages of bodyfat to get optimal results. This is achieved by using potentially harmful ingredients at high doses or high intake of caffeine with some other ingredients as supporting "secret sauce" depending on the product. All in all the promised outcomes seem to be overstated and can be achieved otherwise through less costly and risky means.

Rogue Ohio Weightlifting belt one year review

 

Please also refer to my article "Which rogue belt to buy". All in all the best all purpose weightlifting belt I have seen in the market from a solid company with good client feedback. I have used mine for a year for squats up to a 150kg / 330lbs and I am all around satisfied. If you look at cost per use and lifetime of the belt the initially seemingly high price diminishes to cents.

How to prepare for german volume training

Be sure that you want to grow muscle primarily, pick the right exercises to do for 10x10 and start with low load. If you have not perfected form yet, seriously consider doing that first, before ingraining bad form by doing a lot of repetitions when on GVT.

How to combine Jim Wendler 5/3/1 and the westside method

You can combine the two methods taking Jim Wendler's approach for max effort days and the westside approach for dynamic days. Be aware that this increases overall workload of the Jim Wendler program and optimises your max effort days for general strength development, rather than specific development for powerlifting.
