Muscle and water is critical in burning fat.

When your goal is to put on muscle mass you must increase your calorie intake as you increase the activity level being given to the muscle.

The key to building massive, powerful muscles is to doggedly increase the training weights you use.

I benched up to 500 pounds one day and decided that was enough because I knew the risk of a pec tear or a shoulder injury would be catastrophic to my bodybuilding career.

Lift others and yourself as you rise above this mess of comparison. Thank God for those who embraced their true selves and gave us gifts that only they could give: from Steve Jobs to Michael Jackson to Ray Charles to Mark Twain. There are so many more, and the list goes on.

I'm still going to make mistakes, but I don't have any problems with publicly professing my faith now. It just took me a long time to get to the right place in my relationship with Christ.

The question isn't if someone will sign up for spiritual formation; it's just who and what our spirits will be formed by.

I think, at heart, unless you discover faith in something else, something other, it's very hard to shake the thing that you're adrift alone.
