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].
While not an article, I'd be remissed not to add that thePTDC in collaboration with a rocket scientist finally released our anticipated 1K Fitness Fans Formula for Facebook ads in the fitness industry. Some of the most successful in the industry are already using the formula including Precision Nutrition and Dr. John Berardi. The course closes Thursday night. Find out more at www.1kfitnessfans.com.
