From Jon: Each Sunday thePTDC will publishing a list of the top articles from around the web in 5 different categories: bodybuilding, general health, fat loss, strength training, and nutrition.

We scan the net, but if you'd like to submit your article for consideration, please send it to [email protected].

Our Choice for the Article of the Week

If there is one thing the fitness industry doesn't lack it is conflicting information. Some coaches believe this while others believe that.  Information crosses and leaves trainers scratching their heads lost in space. Not only does this leave our trainers dazed and confused but this can be passed down to their clients, which is "no bueno".  Nick challenges us to take a step back and critically analyze our position on 5 different training concepts. Do any of your beliefs conflict with each other?
