| Editor's Intro |
Boom! New editor, new style, new content. I've taken over editing and newsletter tasks to free up some of Daniel's time. I hope that he will use this opportunity to focus on expanding WBB and ALN, but something tells me we will see him at the pub more often. ;) Seriously, Daniel is a very busy guy and I was happy to help.
There will be subtle changes in style to improve readability. Nothing crazy, just some minor font changes, defined sections, and I will do a general clean up of the html code in the background.
Currently, we release a newsletter on the 1st and 15th of each month. I would like to bring some consistency to the releases so readers can expect to see certain sections each time. For example, I plan to present a "Training and Diet Tip" on each release for the 1st. The release on the 15th will include "Ask Maki" and "Interview with a Forum Member" sections. There will be room for other sections when time permits, but these are the basics.
Anyway, that's the story. I am always open to suggestions, so send comments/feedback/criticism via PM on the forums. Enjoy the letter and I will see you next issue!

| Training Tip: Extended Sets |
| What separates the HUGE guy at the gym from the rest of the crowd? Simple, he goes the extra mile to achieve his goals. Here is a technique that will allow you to perform a few more reps just when you thought you had reached failure. Using the Triceps Dumbbell Skull Crushers exercise, start with the palms facing towards the side of your head with the thumbs pointing down. Once you have reached failure (momentary) switch to a grip where the palms are facing the ceiling, then switch from there to the palms facing you. |

| Nutrition Tip: Spicing Things Up |
| Eating popular bodybuilding foods can be very bland. However, it doesn't have to be this way. Below are some things you can do to spice up some of your daily meals. Throw in some peppers. They go with most meals and you can try any type - black, green, red, yellow, or orange. Garlic is a good flavour-enhancing ingredient and can be used in many meals (i.e., potatoes, meats, poultry, etc). Try out various seasonings and dressings to make dry salads and tuna taste more enjoyable. |
