Why the Internet Can't Get You Looking Like Brad Pitt!

What would we do with out the Internet? OoO how lucky we are to have access to anything we want to know whenever we want to know it. Hmmm... hold on a sec... are we actually that lucky?


You see, the Internet is the leading spokesperson for the world of Paradox - the BEST thing about the Internet is also the WORST thing. You want to know an answer to a question and the first thing you do (rightfully and happily so) is Google it :)! The page loads, and Voila - you have your answer! Now, what do you do when you ask your ONE question and get 364 different answers?

When I first started working out I was what the fitness industry calls a "hardgainer" - someone who has a very tough time putting on lean muscle mass. So what did I do? You better believe I googled it - "How to put on muscle", "How to gain weight", "what supplements should I take", "how to get ripped", "How to look like Brad Pitt in Troy" (oops did i just admit that? :/). The biggest solution, however, was also my biggest problem. Sure the Internet gave me answers to all those questions, but, the problem was that the Internet gave me hundreds and thousands of different answers...

Take this supplement... don't take this supplement.. work out this way... don't work out that way.. eat this much... don't eat that much.. pyramid your lifts... rest 24 hours in between lifts... only lift heavy... don't do cardio... do cardio... muscle group a day... two muscle groups a day...PROTEIN... CREATINE... GLUTAMINE..Is your head spinning yet? I promise you this is 1/1,000,000Th of the things out there in response to my one question: "How do I put on muscle?"

You see... All I wanted was to look like Brad Pitt and all the Internet did was confuse me even more in how to go about doing so. It took me 2 years to realize two crucial things that enabled me to get in to the best shape of my life: (1) the Internet gives unnecessary complicated answers to simple questions and (2) the the answer to my question didn't come through the Internet, it came through my own personal trial and error.

This is why I am on a mission to undo what the Internet has done. The mission of this blog is SIMPLIFY what the Internet has COMPLICATED. What makes me an expert? Nothing but my passion and experience - something a book or an article can't give you. I am just that average guy who worked his butt off to get in to the best shape of his life - don't you want to know how to also? Everyone seems to be an expert these days, yet, if everyone was an expert, then how come the Internet hasn't gotten everyone looking like brad Pitt?
