Scooby just uploaded this video, and I’m surprised that I actually agree with it. When you get into bodybuilding, all bodybuilders immediately think they need to drink protein shakes, whey protein or any supplement. Bodybuilders think protein drinks of any kind will build them muscle quicker. Well it doesn’t really, that’s what the advertisements want you to believe.

There are a lot of dangerous chemicals in these things that they could mess up your kidneys or liver. They aren’t healthy as the ads claim. Plus, they’ll make you fat because of calories.

When I first started bodybuilding, I used to think it’s important to drink whey protein or shakes, but I don’t agree with it anymore. You can get the body of your dreams by taking in protein with real food. That’s what I’ve been doing lately. Getting my protein from real meals. That’s the way to go.

Plus, another reason to stop drinking protein drinks is because they are over priced. Every time you run out of the stuff, it’ll force you to buy more. It certainly got too expensive for me. Eating clean is the way to build muscle faster.

The pic above is an old pic, like maybe 4 or 5 months ago.

Just took this one a few minutes ago. Notice the difference? The pecs are getting a little bigger like I said, so yeah, I’m doing good. Body fat has also gotten a little lower too, seeing more abs.

Yes, I’ll admit, that I still continue to watch Scooby’s videos, read posts on his facebook and his blog, all that stuff. Why? I don’t know why. Maybe for laughs, I guess. Scooby is the wrong person to go asking for fitness advice from. Why? If you ask him what are the best workouts to do for a certain body part or nutritional advice, all he’s going to do is come back with a negative response, thinking he’s, Mr. Know It All. He’s got that Mr. Know It All, attitude, thinking he’s better than you and he thinks he’s “right” all the time.

That squat video he just put out there is the perfect example of what I’m talking about. Everyone loves to do squats and he just bashed a popular workout that everyone loves. He’s going to keep going with that negativity. I don’t know why fans keep going after him like he some kind of fitness hero. He’s not. He’s a fraud and a phony. Just my opinion.

He doesn’t treat his fans and supporters, very good, in my opinion, and they all don’t realize it. People ask him about supplements and all that stuff, he’ll shoot all that down too.

The online world isn’t a place for fitness advice ’cause every fitness trainer online, have their own teaching method. Everyone is different. If you need fitness advice, learn locally, don’t do it online. I get my fitness information from books & magazines. I don’t go to Scooby or Scott Herman or any online fitness guru. I also get my fitness advice from other experienced fitness people around my area at local gyms, that’s a good start too. You can’t trust online trainers. You can’t believe everything they say. Online fitness guru’s are just out there to promote themselves.

When you want a good all around muscular physique you need to workout every body part. I’ve been doing just that, except the only thing I’ve been having trouble with for the past year or so is trying to find ways to define my chest pecs more. I needed more work on the chest in the past, and I think I’ve finally found the right workouts that works the chest hard. Lately, I’ve been feeling my chest getting a little bigger and growing because of these workouts…

-dumb bell flies (decline or regular bench)

-cable cross over

-bench press on the Smith machine

-Various pushups

I will continue to do those. My pecs are finally getting results and shaping up a little I think. I’ll show y’all, soon so you can be the judge.

I used to disagree with bench pressing but I guess I’ll have a change of heart with it and do it more often. I don’t do those workouts every single week though ’cause that would be over training. I just do different chest workouts each week.

I may not look like a professional wrestler or an action movie star, yet, but I’m doing the best I can to improve them. I need bigger pecs so my physique can look right. I just do 3 sets to 12 reps each, and only take 30 second rest in between. I also find that useful to building muscle quicker. You want better results? Don’t rest too long in between sets. That’s how I always trained. Not resting too long in between sets, then I’m back to work.
