Hey Davey, I am 6’1 and 140 pounds. I can’t gain weight. I’ve been working out forever and have even worked with a trainer for a month. While doing that, I got to 145 pounds in about 2 to 3 weeks, but I couldn’t really afford it. I feel like if I were bigger, I would have a better chance [...]

And that “pushing” is done through incremental increases in the amount of resistance. Just yesterday, while exercising with my boyfriend, [...]

Dear Davey, I was en route to work this morning and I bumped into my ex. He cheated on me every week for a year and I was dumped over the phone just before Christmas last year. Anyway, where you come in… Looking at myself in the mirror, I think I have all the makings to have a fantastic body. [...]

Increasing strength and building muscle mass is a common fitness goal. But often, guys and gals aren’t seeing the results that they had hoped for. Here are 7 reasons why: You aren’t sleeping enough.
