I bet you’ve always thought there’s no such thing as spot-reducing. Well … there is: Certain types of aerobic exercise can actually “spot-reduce” your waistline. Researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, put a group of men and women, aged 60 to 70 on a nine to 12-month exercise program that consisted of walking or jogging. On average, the subjects exercised 45 minutes several times a week.
If all the ideas that I’ve introduced to the bodybuilding public over the past two decades, perhaps the most revolutionary and certainly the most controversial (at the time) was my contention that in order to maximize your God-given muscle-building genetic potential, you needed to eat a lot of food. Nowadays this common sense contention seems so logical as to be beyond dispute. Way back then, the idea of big eating to support big training was radical and I had a lot of “experts” say a lot of nasty things about my approach.
