PMS For Bodybuilders Is A Major Problem

When I read the headline I thought the same thing you are. P.M.S.?!? I need to stop lifting. Well read this article to find out more:
=====
Have you ever wondered why that lean, fat free, "athletic muscle look" only seems to grace the physique of your genetically gifted friend who eats pizza and Ho-Ho's everyday, yet he stills rocks a 6 pack like Vin Diesel?
Have you tried following a 7 gazillion calorie diet while training at Golds Gym for two hours a day only to end up a bigger yet SOFTER version of your original self?
Look, if you're anything like me there is nothing that you hate more than trying to build muscle or bulk up, only to have to spend the next six months with your butt on a the tiny seat of a stationary bike, pedaling like a hamster to burn off all that "bulking fat".
Besides, all you've got to show after months of hard work in the gym and shoveling piles of brown rice and chicken breasts down your throat is what I call...
The Problem: Puffy Muscle Syndrome (P.M.S)
What a shame, right?
You've been lifting weights, you "go heavy", you do "burn-out sets", and you even suck down your pink powdered protein shake as soon as you drop the barbell after the final rep of your workout....
but you STILL don't have the diesel, dense muscle you've been training for!
I know, I know, I know!
Look, I understand what it's like to be a "chubby champ" too!
Take a look at this picture of me after winning a strongman contest. Yea, I'm strong with some big muscles... but all that bloat makes me look like "The Michelin Man" after eating a box of jelly doughnuts!
Of course, we DO get a lot stronger in our efforts... but the problem with getting all soft and swollen is that it can be a bit embarrassing when it comes time to take your shirt off at a pool party or at the beach!
Now, I'm not your typical pretty-boy so don't get me wrong, but I'd much rather have the confidence of knowing that when I take my shirt off around someone who doesn't know about "bulking and cutting" that they can actually tell that I bust my butt in the gym!
It's True... Getting P.M.S. Is A Stupid Waste Of Time!
Getting fat, Puffy Muscle Syndrome (P.M.S.), in order to "bulk up" and then "slim down" is NOT the way to go!
Eating a ton of calories to force muscle growth not only makes you fat and puffy looking, but everyone knows that yo-yo dieting is bad for your health and usually ends up stamping you with an ugly modern disease called "insulin resistance."
Hey, if you want to walk around with a double chin for six months only to starve yourself for the other half of the year and screw up your metabolism at the same time... be my guest.
But if you want to build LEAN muscle and burn fat AT THE SAME TIME, then try this "Hybrid Muscle Building" and weird "Reloading Diet" to battle P.M.S. and finally get leaner, harder and STRONGER...
Just like I did after a recent tragedy (I'll tell you about it soon).
You see, I'm what brainy-types might call an "Endomorph"... this basically means that I am genetically destined to be, well... chubby!
The gift of the endomorphic body type is that we have the ability get stronger and build muscle a little easier than the "hard gainer" ectomorph.
But We Have A Heck Of A Hard Time Burning Fat!
Well, at least I did... until I was forced to change the type of workouts I was doing.
About 7 months ago I weighted 247 pounds.
As a pro strength athlete, gym owner and certified trainer that hung around a bunch of other "strong but soft" endomorphs, my big P.M.S muscles were kinda cool. I could lift heavy things and felt at home with my puffy buddies.
There was really no need for me to look elegant, so I just stayed that way... strong but soft.
That was until I experienced one of the most devastating disasters of my life!
After a hard training session of lifting heavy weights and getting all pumped up... I went to my parents house for dinner.
After dinner my father asked me to help him pull up a few dead trees that were in his garden.
Then it happened...
I was tugging on a tree root with both of my over inflated arms, then suddenly my father and I heard two loud pops.
POP! POP!
I had torn my left biceps tendon clean off the bone! (so much for my big P.M.S. guns, huh?)
With my left arm in a cast and my dreams of being a top professional strongman gone...
It Was Time To Build Some Leaner, Harder, More Dense Muscles!
I quickly realized that my P.M.S. muscles would no longer serve me... they were useless.
