V shred big arms program review image

When you dub a program “Big Arms,” you can’t help but assume that you’ll end the program with pythons that rival Hulk Hogan, Lou Ferrigno, or Ronnie Coleman.

But does V Shred’s Big Arms program actually turn those stubborn biceps and triceps into massive, sleeve-filling beasts? Or is this program yet another V Shred letdown?

Read on to find out!

(Clarification: the “massive” in the title refers to the review and not the expected results you’ll see if you attempt Big Arms yourself.)

V Shred Clean Bulk Program Review: Is It For Real?

By

V shred clean bulk review image

“Clean bulking” is widely regarded as the healthiest way to build a more aesthetic physique without falling into dangerous nutritional vices (i.e., fast-food, huge carb-loaded meals).

Like the traditional “dirty bulk,” clean bulking requires a caloric surplus — creating a positive energy balance. But the food and training choices only build lean mass and limit body fat.

V Shred’s Clean Bulk Program supposedly leans on that very idea.

But … is this Vince Sant program for real?

Focus T25 drags unsuspecting users through three circles of hell distinct phases: Alpha (to build a foundation), Beta (to maximize results), and Gamma (an optional third phase).

Buff Dudes’ Journey for the Goblet of Gains [Review]

By

Sure, adding inches to your arms, loading a couple of extra plates to the barbell, and leaving the gym with shaky muscles are all satisfying experiences when building mass is your goal.

But here’s the thing:

Most workout routines are flat-out boring.

The monotony of doing the same six workouts week in and week out slowly sinks in.

And for the sake of entertainment, you ditch the plan altogether after a few weeks…before you even give it a chance to work its magic and produce results.

The Buff Dudes’ Journey for the Goblet of Gains is a workout program for any guy looking for a mass-building routine with a unique spin to spice things up (Hint: Hope you like video games).

Now, let’s find out what this program is all about!

Abel Albonetti’s 30 Day Abs Review (A Good Workout?)

By

Abel albonetti 30 day abs review image

Women & men can agree on one thing, at least when it comes to fitness: a chiseled core is one of the most attractive muscle groups in the male physique.

(Seriously, research from 2019 proved it.)

Yet, second to the calves, the abs are also the most neglected in training routines.

“Ab work of choice,” random crunch variations, or a 60-second plank, and call it a day! But if you want to convert that dad bod or gut into an aesthetic six-pack, these programs fail miserably.

Abel Albonetti’s 30 Day Abs program on the BodyFit platform promises to build an elite-level, powerhouse core to complete that aesthetic physique. But is it a good workout?

Focus T25 Beta Workout Review: How Tough is It?

By

Focus T25, shortened to just “T25,” is a 2013 Beachbody program that creator Shaun T swears will get you ripped in ten weeks with just 25 minutes of daily training.

The program’s natural progression follows three distinct training phases: Alpha (foundation), Beta (core), and Gamma (strength).

The five-week Alpha phase will leave you winded, sore, and questioning your life choices if your excuse for not hitting the gym for the last three years has been “I’ll start next Monday.”

But just how tough is Focus T25’s Beta phase? Let’s find out.

But since we’re on the subject of calories burned by P90X3, what can you expect? Will you be clamoring for sustenance when you’re done (or just clamoring for some sweet couch time)?
