So the more muscles an exercise works at the same time the better
Dips and chin-ups work nearly every muscle in your upper body. Doing these two properly will give you more of a workout than a 100 sets of lateral raises or dumbbell flies ever will. These two exercises are so effective because you are moving your own body through space. This requires the use of more muscles and stabilizers and nerve involvement. They are totally natural movements and the strength that is built is functional, that is easily utilized by your body for other movements, such as...
Enzymes are a Key to SuperHealth
Raw food is still full of enzymes which are metabolic catalysts. They are responsible for all metabolic actions in the body, from digesting food to building new muscle tissue. Nothing can happen without them. Now this is very important so listen up The more enzymes you take in via food e.g. raw fruit, vegetables, raw milk etc. the less your body is drained of its own supply, so it can concentrate on repairing itself and working at it's ultimate potential.

Leave your Ego outside

It means you must control your pride and stubbornness so you can learn and progress. Some examples are needed. I constantly see people in the gym uses way too much weight. They load the bar up and then use the most sloppy and dangerous techniques to lift it, all for the sake of their egos. I see people load up the bench press...
The Grinder
This is a good solid training program that incorporates the general training principle of the Spartan Health Regime. I call it the Grinder because it's the kind of program that you can keep working away at week after week. It won't burn you out quickly.

Add one of the strength routines. Pick your...

Tribal people who lived far from the sea would make special efforts, whenever possible, to trade for dried seafood and sea salt. The Roman legions when they marched out to conquer...
