Get Physical with your Chesticles Ladies!

A common joke in the gym is , "Don't skip leg day, bro!!" Well girls, I'm sorry, but not sorry... "Don't skip chest day, woman!" Time and time again, I see girls working away at just their legs and the cardio machines never even giving a thought that maybe their chest area IS IN FACT comprised of different muscles, it isn't just ALLLL about your boobs ladies! They aren't THAT glamourous.. (or maybe they are lol) but that is beside the point!! These are some myths that need to be busted and erased from your brain washed minds!!

• But, but...My glorious breasts will shrink!!
• Relax Miss Busty... Fat and muscle are two COMPLETELY different things. Fat can't "turn" into muscle so don't worry about cranking out some chest flys and worry about them shrinking. They will only appear smaller if your body fat percentage drops, hence why female body builders have small breasts on stage b/c they drop body fat next to nothing. So you will be fine as long as you are not in a calorie deficit.
• Men only train chest for pecs! I don't want to appear bulky and manly.
• Women only produce a fraction of the testosterone and hormones a man produces. What a male produces in a day is what we produce in a whole week!! So you don't even have the hardware to produce "bulky" muscle, so simmer down there gal.

If anything, training your chest will actually stimulate growth in your pecs, making your breasts more pumped and enlarged. So yes, chest day CAN HELP YOUR BOOBS LOOK PERKIER. Boom, I just blew your mind.

I actually love chest day b/c it gives people the optical illusion that my little "girls" are bigger than what they really are! After training chest for awhile, you will get a "chest split" so it accentuates my cleavage (if you want to call it that haha) and makes it looks like I am not completely flat chested when I am dieting.

SHOULDERS SHOULDERS SHOULDERS! Your trained, more profound chest will actually make your delts pop out and separate them more :)

Oh and are you tired of those "chicken nuggets" that are known as those lil chubs of armpit fat? Do some dang bench press, chest flys and cable crosses. Your arm pits will thank you.

Before you laugh at a guy for skipping leg day ladies, ask yourself... "when was the last time I trained my chesticles?" -_-

"Stay Hungry and Devour the Gainz!"

Honey Turkey Burgers

Recipe of the Week: Lean Protein Packed Burgers

We all know if you want to be lean, ripped, or build bigger muscle, you HAVE TO consume protein packed meals. What is great about turkey is that not only is it LOADED with our buddy pal, protein, but it also boasts the badge of LOW-FAT. Turkey has the bragging rights of only having 1-3g of fat per serving. Badabing!! The greatest combo for getting and staying lean. Ahhh a match made in heaven for bodybuilders or anyone looking to get lean.... GOBBLE GOBBLE

There is no way around it, if you want that skin tearing leanness....you need to repair your destroyed muscle fibers after a crazy intense lifting session with some good ol amino acids. Turkey contains the amino acid, tryptophan. And YES it IS a myth that this amino acid causes drowsiness (You know the old excuse your uncle would make for when he passes out on the couch snoring after Thanksgiving). There is not enough in turkey to cause significant amounts of serotonin to be released into your body causing sleepiness.... so just admit it, you over ate A LOT and in a food coma now b/c of it.

Another great attribute turkey has over other protein sources such as the ever popular beef, is that turkey is very low in cholesterol at only 40mg.

So without further ado, here is the easy peasy recipe for Blair's (my ever supportive gf) recipe for Honey Turkey burgers. Ditch those crummy fast food burgers and trade in for an even better upgrade health AND taste wise:

Honey Turkey Burger with carrots and bell peppers

Ingredients:

85% lean ground turkey (6 oz)

half bell pepper 

1 carrot

1/4 cup plain bread crumbs (look for healthiest option according to label)

1.5tbs all natural honey

Mrs. Dash fiesta lime seasoning

cayenne pepper

diced green onion

garlic salt

onion powder

1. Take skillet and fill with 1/2 in of water and fire up stove top.
2. Take small pot, fill with 1/2in of water and add sliced carrots.
3. while skillet being heated, take all ingredients (minus bell pepper and carrot) and mix into ground meat.
4. cook about 3-5 mins on each side or until turns golden brown and lightly seared.
5. add bell peppers and sautee until soft
6. when carrots come to a boil, simmer and cover pan until nice and soft. (you can even add a little honey to your carrots, I recommend!)
7. Indulge in a juicy burger fest brought to you by Mr. Turkey. No bun needed, it's that good! Plus the carb is unnecessary :) Unless you are bulking of course :P I like mine spicy so I have a heavy hand on the cayenne and fiesta lime lol
