Welcome to The Terror Dome.

If you have ventured on bodybuilding.com anytime in the last few years, you may have heard of DO WORK CREW becoming a way of life in the fitness community.

Anthony Bartoline (aka BDubdiesel) has built up the community so much that it has manifested itself into an epidemic throughout the gym rat community and it may be trickling into a gym near you-even your basement gym. You know-the one that also acts as your bedroom and storage for your dad’s collection of Hustler magazines from 82’.

Let’s check out Anthony’s story…

Chew on that.

“I’ll have mine rarer than a mullet at a Jay-Z concert please.”

Steak, beef burgers, loin…all different cuts of meat in their own way, but still  just a piece of cow at heart.

You wouldn’t think one cut could be healither than the other…but then again you thought wearing a Piano Key necktie to the movies was appropriate.

Beef has gotten a bad rep recently in regards to heart disease associated with cholesterol, digestive issues and all the hormones these cows are jacked up on now-a-days. I don’t think that’s fair (and I’m sure you’d agree).

Read on and let me tell you why…

"...and smile for the camera."

“Dude, I just spent 2 weeks pay on these sick supplements that give me crazy energy, blood scorching pumps, huge traps and beast-like strength!  The guy at the supplement store said it’ll probably shrink my balls, thin my hair and make want to spin-kick anything with a heartbeat…but whatever, I’ll look JACKED on the beach!”

Awesome…

Besides the fact that you now have to purchase a fanny-pack to carry all that shit in, most of those supplements (especially the ones ending in the suffix ‘ol’) will only yield temporary gains.

I’ve got a better idea.

Put the supplements aside for a minute…

Enter if you dare...or if we're open.

How was your Memorial Day Weekend?

You probably kept it healthy…burgers, beers and quality time with friends?

Nice.

I decided to head 3 ½ hours north to Lake George, NY to change up the pace and scenery of New York City.

I took my own advice and decided that some much needed change would be a healthy approach to my Memorial Day weekend.

Come take a look at the buried treasure I found by the lake, how I eat healthy during vacation and why I am contemplating buying a 400 lb tire to keep in my apartment…
