The 100-Day Challenge by MATT TURNER
Great guns and perfect pecs are the most visible sign that you’ve done your time in the gym. Our 100-Day Challenge, created by world-renowned trainer Nick Mitchell, is designed to pack the muscle onto these trophy body parts—transforming them from FA Cups into World Cups by Christmas.

The Big Fat Six-Pack Lie by ROSS EDGLEY
Crunches are probably the most overrated exercise in strength and conditioning. A bold statement to begin an article with but a recent study conducted in the United States at Pennsylvania State University challenges the crunch’s dominance as the best six-pack builder.
Researchers set out to determine which techniques activated the core muscles best: larger, compound movements like the plank, or smaller isolation movements like the standard crunch. The results may have you rethinking your abs routine.

Death To The Bulk and Cut Diet by FRED DUNCAN
Traditional bulk-and-cut diets are antiquated, inefficient, and just plain stupid. You’ve probably heard it a million times: “I’m going to eat a ton of calories and put on all this muscle mass, then I’ll cut all my fat away and look shredded and huge.” You know what really happens? Your bulk ends up leaving you looking like the Michelin Man, and your cut leaves you looking like a marathon runner. You don’t need to add layers of fat to add muscle, nor do you have to burn muscle to lean out.
