LETTER

FROM THE EDITOR

Hot Summer Nights…

Once again, we find ourselves “in the heat of it.” Shorter, more intense days followed by hot summer nights. How’s your training coming along? Have you kept those promises you made to yourself on New Years’? If the answer is “yes”, then you are probably taking every opportunity to show the world. If the answer is “no”, don’t despair… Just get back on the program…They say that “The best time to plant a tree is 100 years ago. The second-best time is right now…!” We’re here for you, providing useful, research-based information to get you (and keep you) on your way.

I have been impressed with the recent Letters-To-The-Editor. I have been making a list (maybe, even, checking it twice) of the major themes. We will be using the letters to guide to decide the articles published each month. While many of the requests are specific to the gym and how to get the biggest “bang-for-the-buck”, others have asked for advice on embracing an Active Lifestyle.

These include questions about supplements, nutrition, motivation, cross-training, hobbies, relationships, and other areas of interest. Because we have received so many inquiries, we are considering increasing our publication rate from every-other, to monthly issues. We’re still in the planning stage, but you may want to look for a change in 2019…! Please continue to send you requests, and we’ll do our best to oblige. The bottom line is: you ask, we deliver…!

I have recently been made aware of a very interesting publication. Please understand that I am also on the Faculty of a major research University in the Southeast. Because of this, countless articles, papers, chapters, and books pass through my desk every week. Some are useful in articles for Muscle Media Magazine. Most are interesting, but not particularly useful outside of the Lab. I would like to mention “The Miracle Morning” by Hal Elrod as an exception. As a rule, I do not like to review or endorse any work that I have not sufficiently tested in my most reliable laboratory: my own body.

I have just begun the process of implementing the Program. I will keep you posted in a future article in the November/December issue…

Enough about that. What do we have in store for you this issue?

Our inspiring, resident IFBB Pro, Joe, has been very busy. He offers insights into some “tricks” for triceps work. Joe also helps dispel some age-old “gym myths” to help guide your workouts. Further, Joe addresses some of the “missing pieces” from your programs and finishes with keen insights into a bodybuilders’ “secret weapon.” Our Master Trainer, Roger, continues his progressive, yearlong series, with Part 4 of “Train to Transform.” Our resident “Master-of-Movement,” kinesiologist Chuck, covers Parts 5 & 6 of his “X-Factors, Flexibility Highways” to improve power and efficiency of movement. A new contributor, Thomas, just received his BS in Sport & Exercise Science, and writes about proper hydration (very timely…!). As your humble Editor, I address some of the questions received about Interval Training. Finally, we include a very special and inspirational Transformation.

Although we are documenting the body transformations on the website (www.musclemediaonline. com), we thought Vinny’s journey was worth a spot in the magazine. Please check out all of our authors, as you sip on something cool and refreshing…!

Cheers…!

-Dr. Tom
