Above is a lovely illustration by Google demonstrating how their new engine works. It’s almost as pointless as it is hilarious. Anyways, everyone wants their website to rank well on Google and other engines and they can drastically improve their rankings through search engine optimization. SEO is a term that’s been loosely thrown around for a while now. For many it’s almost as vague and hard to grasp as the so-called social media movement. But now as the dust is settling, there are some real tips and tricks that can really help your small or medium sized business, services, or whatever it is you do – be found through the Internet.

Lean to Mean, 90 Days (Vid & Pics)

Posted by W. Shane Duquette

We’ll let the pictures and the numbers do the talking this month. As you can see, some photo-shoots went better than others. Bed-head and caveman-hunch aside though we’re pretty happy with how things are going. I’ll post our measurements and the video below so you can get an idea of how monstrous we’re becoming.

We just started our August fat burning phase today. Fifteen minutes of HIIT training in the stairwell. Eight 30 second sprints with 90 second jogs in between. Up and down 22 floors over and over. I don’t think I’ve ever been so tired. My legs feel like jelly and I’m quivering as I write this . . . that isn’t saying much though. My cardiovascular training has been pretty absent my entire life. It doesn’t take many stairs to have me gasping for breath. Jared could hear me from several flights ahead.

Hit the Gym Hard—And Smart: 5 Tips That Will Pack Muscle Onto Your Too-Small Frame FAST

Posted by W. Shane Duquette

Jared and I just finished taking our 60-day progress pictures and we were blown away. We know what we look like now. We spend an embarrassing amount of time flexing our ‘guns’ in the mirror on a daily basis. Jared’s girlfriend teases us about it. And narcissism at its fullest – Payam developed a way of jumping so that he can see his abs. Since we’re seeing the change happen so gradually though it’s hard to remember what we looked like two months ago. These pictures reminded us that the program is working.

Our strength is increasing dramatically too. Over the course of the past four weeks alone my deadlift has gone from 261 pounds to 367 pounds. After the jump are the rest of the pictures and 5 of the most useful things we’ve learned about hitting the gym.

Lean to Mean, 30 Days / Video 1

Posted by W. Shane Duquette

Muscle May is the first part of a four month bodybuilding experiment: Lean to Mean. What we’re doing is trying to pack on lean muscle mass in the most efficient way that we can, and learn as much as possible during the process.

We’re experimenting with many different workout and diet approaches to see what works best. We’ve looked into Arthur Jones, Anthony Ellis, Timothy Ferris, Sean Nalewanyj, Mike Mentzer, Vince Delmonte and JP Clifford. Many of their approaches conflict with one another though, making the research process quite challenging.

We’re really pleased with our results but we know we still have a long way to go and a lot more research and experimentation to do. We’ve already made several changes for our next video segment, Jacked Julune, which takes place in June and July.

If you have any suggestions or questions please leave a comment. This is an ongoing process and we’d love to get feedback. You may have noticed that there are (quite) a few cuts in the dialogue. Um. We’re working on it.

Check out the final results here.

Our website, after many tweaks and revisions, is finally seeing the light of day. We’ve been happily slaving away on a few projects and we’re pleased to release our website alongside our first video from our ‘Lean To Mean’ series on bodybuilding (the name is still tentative…have any suggestions?). Our website is a work in progress so stay tuned either through our blog, our Feedburner rss, or sign-up for our newsletter. We know there’s an extra hand in our picture but we’ve got a new picture in the works. We’re excited. We hope you have a glance at our work and what we’re doing. Give us a shout if you have any questions or comments.

Our best,
Shane & Jared
