Optimise Your Body For Fat Loss
Losing fat is not just about calories. Yes, being in a calorie deficit plays the predominant role in whether or not you will successfully lose fat over time, but, having your body transformed into a continuous fat burning state, can make this calorie deficit much more effective. When I talk about being in a fat burning state, I mean that several factors are optimised within your body, such as blood glucose regulation, switching from glycogen store utilisation to fat store reserves for energy production, improving thyroid function and, reducing appetite. With all these things coming into play along with a calorie deficit, your fat loss results will be greatly improved. Peak Body Body Burn serves to enhance your results with a calorie deficit by ensuring your body is switched from a fat storing state, to a burn burning state.

Resistance Training Is Key
It is no surprise that if you want to build maximum amounts of muscle, you are going to have to participate in regular weight training. There is no way around it. Yes, there are many forms of exercise you can participate in, but when it comes down to achieving your goals of building quality muscle, weight training should be your primary focus. Why? Well, building more muscle over time is all about proving a large stress to your body. Stress is really the whole driving force

Looking for more size and strength gains? Then you have to get your training program dialed in! Training for optimal progress is so much more than simply picking weights up and putting them down. Yes, doing that is a good start, but eventually you have to start paying closer attention to the finer details of your program in order to truly maximise your progress for the longer-term. Many people (often beginners) overlook the importance of proper training programming when it comes to maximising their muscle growth. A few things I usually see: they more often than not fall into the trap of lifting too heavy too soon, they overlook the need for effective exercise technique, using too much volume, doing the same stuff over and over again and, not properly programming in enough recovery (e.g. rest days/deloads). Well, all these things eventually catch up with you, leading to the so-called dreaded plateaus! (a period of no progress). So, in order to avoid this potential problem, its good practise

Why Take Supplements?
It’s no secret that for maximum muscle mass, strength and fat loss gains, training and nutrition are without doubt, the two most important factors you need to consider. Well, let’s put it this way: all the supplements in the world will not maximize your progress if you haven’t implemented an optimal training and nutrition plan.
While supplements can ‘fill in the gaps’ and offer ‘additive’ benefits on top of an already great training and nutrition protocol, they cannot act as a full replacement. But, once you have

More Performance, More Results
It is no secret that if you are looking to maximize your true muscular potential, then your weight training workouts need to be pretty dam intense. Your job, once you hit those cold iron weights, is to push your body to its absolute limits. If you let your body off easily, you simply won’t force it to adapt, and by adapt, I simply mean getting stronger and bigger! As I always like to say, if you always leave the gym in the exact same state you entered, you did not train hard enough. The reality is, muscle growth does not come easy. There is a cost, and that cost is energy. Muscle is metabolically expensive to the body requiring a ton of energy for its general maintenance and function. If you want this muscle, you are going to have to give your body a dammed good reason to develop more of it! Prepare to battle with your body. To build more muscle, you need to train for it, and that means, lifting heavy,

SARMS: The Next Best Thing?
Over the last few years, there has been a surge in the use of SARMS, so called selective androgen receptor modulators to boost performance, accelerate fat loss and, enhance muscle size and strength. Clinically, SARMS could have a lot of potential to offer with regards to muscle wasting and osteoporosis. This is owing to their highly selective nature to androgen receptors in both muscle and bone tissue, while imparting a much weaker influence on those receptors

Why protein is essential for muscle growth
First things first: you need weight training to stimulate muscle growth. I think we can all agree that if you want to pack on quality muscle, then getting to the gym and lifting heavy ass weight is a must. No way around it. If you are not doing that already, then that is your first point of action. But, this is just the very first step on the

You have more to learn than you think!
Competing in a bodybuilding show has perhaps become the new cool thing to do. From my experience, this is a common trend with the new kids on the block: you sign up for a gym membership, lift some weights, guzzle down a protein shake, and behold, over the coming first few months of your weight training endeavors, you begin to notice some pretty startling and rapid changes to your physique. This might spark some feeling of invincibility within you. Changes like becoming bigger and fuller, the unravelling of hidden vascularity, as well as the emergence of visible lines that brings out muscle detail you only thought was possible in your wildest superhero-like dreams. Once you experience these changes, it’s really not a surprise that many develop the deep desire and curiosity to take things much further and see how far they can truly push the boundaries of what their body is capable of.
Ok, well here is
