The common trend in the industry is to tell people to “get strong”. That’s 100% true but becomes a problem since many “smart” internet people always seem to miss the point. Getting strong is great but we’ve become too quantitative. We focus too much on numbers, our sets, reps and weight.

As I talked about in Part I, I am a “hardcore gamer.” I am counting the days until Halo 3 comes out (9 weeks from yesterday). As a gamer I have become accustom to people stating that we are a bunch of lazy bastards living in our mothers basements, eating Cheeto’s and drinking Mountain Dew. For a certain group that holds true, but video games and physical activity seem to becoming friends instead of foes. Dance Dance Revolution, Wii Sports, and other games are getting people together, and getting them to move as well.

Q&A with TC Luoma

• What does your workout currently look like? p.s. I’ve been a T-Nation member (Dragon) for a couple years now  and I really like the way T-Nation is headed!
• Is your girlfriend/wife into weight training as well? If so does she have any goals she is working towards?
• Are the guys at Biotest working on any new products at the moment?
• Could you talk about the changes at T-Nation.com, the redesign of the site?
• What supplements do you recommend for people focused on health first,
• physique goals second?
• Can you talk a little bit about your Atomic Dog Book? Who is this book for?

When I receive emails from potential clients who are either seeking performance or body composition gains I ask them to detail their current training for me. One of the common denominators that limits their gains is the lack of training variations. Most people are going to train one of two ways

Part II of the Video Game and Fitness series will be out next week. This week I just wanted to get out a bunch of thoughts that I have about fitness and nutrition.

If I could give anyone one piece of advice on what I feel would improve their overall progress in the gym it would be to improve their training environment. It’s that simple. It has nothing to do with following some advanced training program that has you following some complex Russian periodized scheme. Nor has it anything to do with eating 1.458643 grams of protein per kg of lean body mass compared to 1.654758 grams per kg (although BigGunz22 over at www.trainingminutia.com might say otherwise).

As a trainer, I always recommend that my clients take creatine, unless they are completely opposed to it. There is no reason why any beginner or experienced lifter should not experience the benefits creatine has to offer. Creatine will help make any woman stronger. Strength is directly related to an increase in muscle size and volume. More muscle makes it easier to burn fat. The more muscle you have, the more you can eat (yay!) and the more you can eat, the more you can grow.
