Latest vid from Panama: Leg day with Fitness Model Ariadna González Fontelio!
What is “Bro-Science”? What’s wrong with it? How does it cost you money? Why is it bad for the industry? I cover that and more in this vid!
Saying “NO” to Bro-Science saves you money and wasted time in the long run, and forces supplement companies (as well as companies making other scam BS junk connected to the fitness/health/BBing industry) to stop with the hype marketing based on Bro-Science and forces them to actually spend money on research.
The Bro-Science stops with YOU!
Announcing The BrinkZone Monthly T-Shirt Contest!
I’ll pick a winner each month. Winner gets a whole mess of goodness:
• An interview post dedicated to you on the BrinkZone, with link back to your web page/URL of your choosing. I’ll send you the questions. The BrinkZone gets 50,000+ unique visitors per month and over 330.000+ page views, and growing, so that’s not small traffic potentially for someone looking to get “noticed” and drive some traffic to their site. In addition to your winning picture, you can add two additional pictures of your choice.*
• A mail out to my extensive (read large…) mailing lists announcing you as the winner, and directing them to see your pic, read your interview, and see your site
• Free access to either my Body Building Revealed Program or Fat Loss Revealed Program (your choice!) . Go check out the costs of those programs to see what you’re getting for the simple cost of a T shirt. Anyone with either program will tell you it’s money well spent and probably saves on the costs of the program 10X per year due to what you learn about supplements alone!

Annette M Rockin’ her “No Bro-Science” shirt,
I use the Prowler with tac teams I have worked with on their performance/fitness, myself, and various athletes from all walks, and nothing comes close as both a conditioning tool and a whole body strength tool.
It is without equal as a single piece of equipment one can own that covers the full spectrum of fitness. Vast majority use it as a GPP/conditioning tool, and it’s great for that. Very few use it as a true strength/power builder, and that’s a mistake. Pile some serious weight on it, and it’s killer for strength/power developer. I have posted many Prowler related vids here in the past. Just came back from the gym where I did an all Prowler leg workout with my buddy Big Lee Rosenberg. Death by Prowler!
My objective science response to this is “I told you so!”
But seriously, this is a very important study, I have said something similar for decades. For example, if you read my article Brink’s Unified Theory Of Nutrition you will see I essentially concluded what this recent study found: Not all calories are created equal, macro nutrient ratios matter, and there’s profound effects from simple changes in those macro nutrient ratios on body comp, and tracking changes in fat vs. weight is what actually matters… I don’t know if this study will get the attention it deserves in the media, or by the main stream nutrition/med community, but it’s a seminal study. The fact is, older studies that simply track weight loss/gain need to be scrapped as they are essentially of no value in my view. Modern studies such as this, that actually look at end points that matter, are what will finally answer age old questions on nutrition.
Below is write up of the study for non-science types, and a link to the full study follows for those who wish to read that too.
Calories Raise Body Fat When People Overeat, Not Protein
Medical News Today
In a study published in the January 4 issue of JAMA, researchers assessed 25 healthy individuals who were randomized to different levels of overconsumption on protein diets whilst living in a controlled setting. They found that those who consumed the low-protein diet gained less weight compared with those eating normal and high protein diets. Furthermore, they established that calories alone and not protein seemed to contribute to increases in body fat and that protein did contribute to changes in energy expenditure and lean body mass.
According to background information in the article, “Obesity has become a major public health concern with more than 60 percent of adults in the United States categorized as overweight and more than 30 percent as obese.” However, which role the composition of a diet plays in response to overeating and energy dissipation remains unclear.
Of course not. However, by some of their biographies, you may think they are. They will often list a string of accomplishments that sound almost identical to each other, and too good to be true… That adds confusion for people as they attempt to decide who has the credibility, experience, and accomplishments worth listening to for getting their health/fitness/bodybuilding advice. Some of you already know me from the magazines and other places, and some may be new to the BrinkZone, and perhaps looked briefly at my bio
However, as human beings are highly visual creatures, I decided a vid on some tricks used to “pad” resumes may be of interest and utility, and show some of my own accomplishments and “creds” as it relates to the health/fitness industry. Note, there are some very smart people out there giving some great info and advice.
However, for everyone of those, there’s 100 wanna be types who truly have no business supplying the advice they do, and use all manner of tricks to sell products to people. That is bad for the industry in general in my view. Thus, it behooves people to take some extra time to perhaps track down some of the claims made by those giving advice on health, fitness, bodybuilding, weight loss, etc., and don’t take claims of accomplishments at face value.
As mentioned in the vid (“See bio below this video” comments made in the vid), click HERE or the “Bio” option at the top of the page for additional info if interested.
As mentioned in prior posts, my articles can be found in various languages, such as Polish, Italian, and Spanish, to name a few. One Spanish language fitness magazine my articles can be found in is Revista CorpoSano. This issue, I’m on the cover of the magazine, with a long interview found in the magazine. I hope the Spanish speaking BrinkZone members will read it, and let others know about my articles in Spanish! Hit picture below to read the full interview.
Como se mencionó en un mensajes anteriores, mis artículos se pueden encontrar en varios idiomas, como el polaco, italiano y español, para nombrar unos pocos. Una revista española de fitness idioma mis artículos se pueden encontrar en la Revista es CorpoSano. Este problema, estoy en la portada de la revista, con una larga entrevista en la revista. Espero que los miembros de habla española BrinkZone lo lea, y que los demás sepan sobre mis artículos en español! Hit foto de abajo para leer la entrevista completa.
Are you following The BrinkZone on FaceBook? If you look to the side bar on your right (like over there =>), you will see the “follow me on FaceBook” option. I post all manner of info on the BrinkZone FaceBook page, not always found here, such as news articles, studies, videos, pictures, various announcements, and other information. So, if you have a FaceBook account(and who doesn’t these days?!), I recommend you follow the BrinkZone fan page as it gives you access to additional information you may find both helpful and entertaining, not always posted to the main site here.
See you on the BrinkZone FaceBook Fan page people!!!
