Multivitamins: All Synthetic Vitamins Are Poison

Today we return to Iron Magazine and their clueless writer Matt Weik who recently wrote an article on multivitamins based on a new study. The cohort study used data from 3 prospective cohort studies in the US, each with baseline multivitamin (MV) use assessed from 1993 to 2001, and follow-up MV use assessed from 1998 to 2004, extended duration of follow-up up to 27 years, to assess the association of MV use with mortality […]

Is The Cyclical Ketogenic Diet A Good Choice For Athletes?

Today we return to Iron Magazine, the supplement-based “bodybuilding and fitness magazine” platform that once upon a time tried to ride on the popularity of our online magazine IronMag Online. This time, their writer Matt Weik tackles the Cyclical Ketogenic Diet (CKD.) So, let’s see what he has to say, and I’ll add my thoughts from my 28-years of experience with ketogenic diets and elite-level coaching. “Many people have heard of, tried, or have

Volumetrics — The Stupidest Fat Loss Diet Fad Since IIFYM? 

There seems to be just as many types of diets as there are stupid dietitians, nutritionists, and coaches within the dieting- and fitness industry, and that is a lot, pretty much 99% of them. So, it comes as no surprise that the website “Iron Magazine,” the website that once upon a time tried to ride on the fame of our IronMag that dominated the health- and fitness space on the internet during the 90’s,

Food Do Not Increase Productivity Unless You Are Malnourished

Today we’ll visit “IronMagazine Online.” Yes, the website that once upon a time tried to steal the name of my pioneering IronMagazine Online, or ‘Ironmag’ that we called it for short. I developed the first real bodybuilding and health online-magazine Ironmag in 1996 and ran it together with Christian Thibaudeau and Eric Hesse until 2002. As I moved on to run the Swedish Edition of Ironman Magazine and work with other companies, this other

Review: The 90/90 Fasting Diet

Back in the 90’s, circa 1997, when I ran Ironmag; the first real online magazine of its kind, we featured the Animal Diet, one of the first real ‘intermittent fasting’ diets for bodybuilders and gymrats. It was tailored for fat loss and simply consisted of a pre-workout snack and a post-workout ketogenic-style meal. That was it, and it still was better than most other ‘intermittent fasting’ diets that followed 10 or even 20 years

Rice is Toxic Slave Food

If you’re new to me and my website, I worked daily in the Fitness-, Bodybuilding-, Gym-, and Competitive Sports industry for almost 22-years with nutrition, supplementation, and training — and was involved in it for a total of more than 26 years. Most of that time, I too was trapped in the pseudo-science of “nutrition science” and was fooled by the synthetic toxic crap of the pharmaceutical and supplement industry. My outlook and understanding

Former Bodybuilder and Trainer John Meadows Dies at 49

As many of you know, bodybuilding is what started one side of my career back in the early 90’s. It led me to create Ironmag, the first internet magazine and community in 1996. I’ve written more 500 articles within the fitness and health field, managed several magazines, worked with the Talent Hunt project for five years and also trained, coached and worked with hundreds of top athletes from 1997 to 2016. In other words,

The Glycemic Index is absolute rubbish

I was introduced to the Glycemic Index (GI) back in late 1996 as it began to gain popularity in the bodybuilding and fitness community. I even wrote an overview of the current research and possible applications for our Ironmag Online magazine. At that time, we thought we had found the holy grail of carbohydrate and insulin management. How wrong we were. Not only is the glycemic index pseudo-science, carbohydrates in any form are bad

Muscle Tension and Going to Failure

Written by Joachim Bartoll, February 15, 2016Classic Muscle Newsletter, February 2016 (issue #17) The concept of continuous muscle tension is quite old. We wrote about keeping a muscle under constant load/tension in our old internet magazine Ironmag Online in the late 90’s, and I’ve covered it from time to time on various discussion boards. The subject of tension and muscle failure usually comes up after some “know-it-all” has watched a video of a pro
