| Article Title :: An Amazing Technique That Can Make Your Gains Skyrocket Whil |
| |
| If you clearly understand and apply the principles involved in natural bodybuilding, you will experience very rapid muscle gains. However, over a long term, eventually a ‘sticking point’ or plateau in your training may be reached. It is at this point in training that further muscle gains can sometimes appear almost impossible.

Applying some of these simple strategies below should quickly produce further muscle gains. Most guys mistakenly assume, when reaching a plateau, that their m (read full article) |

With the advent of computer program use in correspondence chess, many over the board players remain convinced that the "CC Specialist" is nothing more than a talented computer operator.
The problem with this theory, of course, is that CC specialists have been around for a long, long time...

| Article Title :: ESPN the Magazine |
| |
|
Back in the day ESPN was merely space fodder for people with cable subscriptions; back when only the "real" sports fan (me) could sit in front of the tube and bear with the constant rambling of numbers and statistics. Oh it was great. Back before they offered a cheap magazine subscription that was nothing more then an extension to their online subscription service they offered through their website. These were the good old days.
No over-sized clowns spraying the screen with saliva as they scream a point that has already been beat to death by every other major sports media outlet. No silly Ebonics from Stuart Scott and his lowly attempts at integrating hip-hop lingo and culture with (read full article) |

| Article Title :: An Effective Golf Swing Exercise |
| |
| There are many types of effective golf swing exercises. Golf swing exercise is very important because the golf swing is at the very heart of the golf game. It is actually impossible to play a good game of golf without being able to execute an effective golf swing.The other reason why golf swing exercise is so important is in the fact that a golf swing by its’ very nature is a very unnatural and awkward movement of the body and muscles. It therefore stands to reason that the body will usually resist the golf swing action and this is why it appears to be so difficult to master.However when you use golf swing exercises to strengthen and condition the relevant muscles, the golf (read full article) |

| Article Title :: An introduction to half pipes |
| |
| Let's face it, when snowboarding, anything that isn't flat creates an almost over powering urge to try to ride and half pipes are no exception to this. After gazing upon the glory of a half pipe it is almost impossible to resist the urge to challenge it, to see what you can do in it or to see if you too are as good as the guy who is doing a Slob Air. It is this desire that keeps us snowboarding and drives us to try new things such as a half pipe.Half pipes can be very daunting features of a snowboarding park. A half pipe will be 4 - 12 feet high, may have 3 sides in a "U" like shape and be full of people doing crazy stunts in the air at high speeds. The big question is how do you lea (read full article) |

| Article Title :: An Introduction to the Trampoline |
| |
| The sport of trampolining reflects man's age-old desire to defy gravity. The trampoline in its current form (a mat mounted on a steel frame) dates back to the early 1800, if newspaper reports are to be believed, when a circus in London displayed what it called the “trampoline jump.”Since then, the word trampoline has been used to describe any elastic apparatus that includes jumping over obstacles or vertical jumps. Circuses have used a number of devices to show off aerial and floor somersault activity. George Nissen, the co-creator of the style of trampoline used in competitions, called his bouncing rig a Trampoline, and registered it as a trademark in 1936. The modern tr (read full article) |

| Article Title :: An Introduction to Wet Suits |
| |
| Wet suits keep you dry. That’s what they do. Not in the rain, although if somebody could invent an inexpensive, yet stylish, slip-on rain suit, I’m sure it would sell very well. Wet suits are for people who immerse themselves in cold water under various different circumstances. Designed initially for scuba divers and then popularized by surfers, the wet suit has evolved from a simple layer of protection from the wet and cold into a “system” that warms, protects and aids the swimmer, surfer or deep sea diver that uses them. Heat moves from a warmer object to the colder object. This is one of the basic laws of physics and you can argue about it until the cows come home and it s (read full article) |

| Analysis of the “Curves” Fitness ProgramBy Kyle Battis CSCS, L/ATC, NSCA-CPTProfessional Fitness CoachingMany people have asked me what my thoughts were on the Curves fitness program. After researching the program, interviewing current and past members, and speaking with other fitness professionals around the country I have compiled the following analysis. WHAT IS “CURVES”?Curves is a franchised exercise program designed exclusively for women.
