Many times as we get older and the years of working out tally up we get bored with just weights. If you haven’t heard of Indian Clubs, here is a great video that demonstrates many exercises.
The World of Crossfit
Many men swear by Crossfit. I do not necessarily blame them; the workouts are no-joke. They’re definitely good elements of Crossfit and it has its place in your own training. Just understand what many other professionals that dont live by the Crossfit Word have to say about.
Every man wants to get those last few rounds of golf in before the weather goes from cold to plain bad (at least in the North).

Mass Gaining Diet
Winter is coming. Many men talk about “getting big”, “bulking”, and “putting on mass” during the winter months when they wont be outside with no shirt on as much. Here is a way of thinking about that I am much more found of… especially due to when it gets to “Problem #4” in the article.

Anyone that ever played football or wrestled remembers the dreaded Up Downs, or Burpees. They killed you then, and can kill you still. For some though the flexibility isnt there anymore to do them so smooth. For others they did so many of them when they were a Young Buck, that the thought of them now is boring. Here are some great variations that both make them easier, as well as make them tougher.
Implement the dreaded Burpee into your cardio/fat burng routine or days to add a real change of pace to it all.
