Carb Backloading Results

Welcome to My DoFollow Blog! As a Big Thank You, I'd Like to Give You FREE Access to my "19 Tips to Build Muscle & Gain Weight" Report That Gives You The Key Ingredients For Success in YOUR all your workouts! ~ Marc David; CPT


I think I got a few raised eyebrows when I quietly announced I was going to try Carb Backloading.  There was a little bit of a shock factor.
There’s something so glamourous about swimming upstream contrary to the popular opinion and there is perhaps something unglamorous to being moderate or preaching the current theme of the decade.
But I sure am having fun with it!  So I figured I’d document and post my carb backloading results including a photo, blood work and body composition using the hydrostatic method.
A wise man once said “Results speak for themselves.

This should compliment my previous carb backloading review which goes into the details of the program.
What kind of results can you expect from carb backloading?

The gold standard for body composition has been the hydrostatic method.  I took the test at the end of the 10 Day Prep Phase (highly recommended for my situation according to the book)
and as you can see below.

Pre-Carb Backloading: 11.4% body fat
Post-Carb Backloading: 14.4% body fat; 10.55 lbs of muscle
My goal was to put the pedal to the metal and push the muscle building efforts to the maximum.  When you are in a daily surplus, short of taking drugs, you are going to gain fat. I wasn’t looking to do a body recomposition but get myself to a solid 200 pounds without getting too fat or putting on more fat than muscle.
Are you serious?
10.55 lbs of muscle in 4 months?  

Those are drug like results for an individual who’s been working out for 20 years.  Most people are very happy with 5 lbs of lean mass in a year.
I think my carb backloading results speak for themselves?

When I started to explain how this would work to friends and family, not a single person would seriously listen.  They just couldn’t condone eating bacon for breakfast or sugar sweets after a workout.  In effect, they had been brainwashed into thinking that health is black and white.  If you are curious, check out the carb backloading meal plan post which gives insight as to what I ate during this experiment.

Carb Backloading is…
Shift calories to later in the dayEating lighter in the morning and early afternoon, andFeast at nightAwesome for skinny people who can’t gain weightThis may include skipping breakfast
Carb Backloading is not…
an excuse to eat junk food all dayfasting
Nobody I talked to had a baseline blood test in which to measure any concept of health.
Frankly, people don’t know what it is to be healthy and if I learned one thing during my carb backloading experience, it was that definition of health is not black and white nor is it so simple to define.
While I admit to having a lot of leeway on this program, you do not have to eat junk food. The program allows you to do so without much consequence but there’s no reason why you cannot eat very “healthy” foods that are high in carbohydrates (grapes, white potatoes, jasmine rice) and steer clear of refined sugar items.

The carb backloading diet is all about timing.  In this case it was everything.  Waking up and having a sugary cereal for breakfast is an entirely different context than working out intensely in the late afternoon and having that same sugary cereal.  Same foods, entirely different results.
I used my blood work from 2010 (following a very strict and healthy typical bodybuilding diet).  I compared that to 2012 after I’d been doing carb backloading for 4 months.

Blood Work 2010

and my Carb Backloading Results Blood Work 2012

Check out this before and after:

83 after
Total cholesterol/HDL ratio
2.7 before
2.6 after
(I’ve been told this ratio is the most important indicator of potential cardiovascular problems)
Reference: Finding the Ideal Cholesterol Ratio

In my non-medical opinion, my carb backloading results seem to say I’m doing better now than when I was into a strict, lower fat, high protein, moderate carbohydrate diet.  In no way am I saying this method of eating is healthier than another when properly done.

If I had to adjust anything, it would be to add more healthier fats.  That might lower my LDL and bump up my HDL  I’d get more fats but increase the good sources.  The next round to improve my carb backloading results, I would ditch any refined sugars and just load more healthy carbohydrate sources and not eat so much junk food.
I admit to not being strict about taking my Omega-3 Fish Oil on a daily basis.  I do eat fish but 3-6g a day of Omega-3 would help.  I’ve switched to walnuts and lowered the amount of almonds.
I picked this quote up from a blog I follow which defines health as more than being free from disease.

Health: “A life of ABUNDANT energy, vitality and strength.” ~Shawn Phillips, author of Strength for Life

At this time, I believe I meet that definition.  10.55 lbs of muscle in 4 months is incredible.


Be Fit, Stay Strong!

Can Bodybuilding Supplements Offer the Easy Road to Muscle Building Results?

Often when the term "natural bodybuilding" is thought of, those who participate in such a hobby contemplate intense weight training workout sessions and structured bodybuilding diet plans, but one additional element, supplementation, is deemed a requirement for any individual to succeed in building muscle mass to his or her natural bodybuilding genetic potential. Since using steroids is avoided due to their serious health risks, bodybuilding supplements become the "safe" and legal drug alternative that bodybuilders feel compelled to pursue.

Because so few who experiment with bodybuilding supplements have performed their weight lifting routines without using such products, they are unable to analyze the true effectiveness of the bodybuilding supplements they are constantly consuming, and therefore, mistakenly attribute any fat loss or muscle building to these products, even when making changes to a weight lifting or diet plan that, in fact, is the foundation for any successful fat loss or muscle building pursuit. Instead of conducting legitimate testing to note muscle gain or fat loss with specific bodybuilding supplements using an identical weight lifting and diet routine, many tend to become frustrated with their muscle building or fat loss progress, and once they return from a break with renewed weight training enthusiasm, they not only search for a new weight training workout plan and diet, but also purchase several bodybuilding supplements to use simultaneously, and if they build muscle or burn fat, they rarely credit the weight training workout or diet, nor do they factor in the ease of muscle building following a layoff with nearly any marginally potent routine, but rather feel that the bodybuilding supplements are responsible for any positive change, even when this progress is only temporary.

This biased hypothesis leads weight lifters of all ages to believe that bodybuilding supplements are a prerequisite for impressive progress, and popular bodybuilding magazines, most of whom generate the vast majority of their advertising profits from bodybuilding supplement manufacturers, also convince the readers that they must, without question, rely on bodybuilding supplements as the weapon of choice to maximizing muscle gains, especially when champion professional bodybuilders are pictured holding the latest bottled craze (of course, he fails to mention that his results are due to steroid abuse as opposed to supplement use!). Nevertheless, the overwhelming message sent by the bodybuilding industry that these products are the natural key to dramatic muscle gains fuels most to accept this as truth, and the bodybuilding supplement industry benefits as a result.

But what's the truth behind the bodybuilding supplement craze? I have been involved in weight training for well over a decade, and through my own experimentation, along with emails sent to me by those who are frustrated with their own results, despite the use of bodybuilding supplements, and have therefore devised a standard of thinking that I hope all reading this article will decide is logical enough to consider adopting for their own muscle gain or fat loss pursuits. Most bodybuilding supplements do not offer advertised muscle gain or fat loss results, and you will spend thousands (or may already have) proving this to be factual, but even if you were to stumble upon a bodybuilding supplement that allowed you to gain muscle or lose fat quicker than is possible through a properly designed weight lifting workout and bodybuilding diet, you will then potentially harm long term health. The only method of knowing for certain whether an artificially induced product will harm long term health is with an extended (several decade) controlled study as to its impact, and because no such long term controlled analysis will ever exist on any bodybuilding supplement, you cannot be certain of their safety since, as we realize with smoking, legality does not ensure safety, and, in the long term, there are serious concerns that bodybuilding supplements can lead to cancer, organ failure (due to unnatural stress on the kidneys, liver, etc), endocrine damage, and premature death.

For the many bodybuilders who wish to produce maximum muscle building and fat loss, yet value the term "natural" due to its connection with preservation of health and clear rejection of all potentially harmful external aids towards such progress, bodybuilding supplements that promise quicker muscle gain or fat loss than is possible through weight lifting and diet alone are a contradiction to such a philosophy. You can either heed my warning, or waste large amounts of money as do so many each year searching for the ultimate steroid substitute that offers complete health preservation, when this, in fact, is an oxymoronic fantasy that has no chance of becoming reality.

Body Building Diet Tips - Amplify Your Results With Precision Nutrition

Body building diet and nutrition meal plans should be designed to precisely fortify your body with power nutrients to build muscle fast. If you follow the right body building diet, you can quickly drop body fat and build muscle mass in a short period of time. Are you ready to learn how to get ripped and build a rock-hard physique? Here is what it's going to take:

Many people think that building a ripped body means you have to spend 2 to 3 grueling hours in the gym everyday and eat a specialized body building diet packed with expensive body building supplements, but that just isn't the case. The truth is, you can build a lean strong body by eating a clean, precisely fortified diet while spending only an hour or so in the gym each day.

Building muscle is all about training smarter, not harder. If you want to build a ripped body, you need to focus your attention on what you feed it, not so much on how hard you can shred it. Body building champions spend 80% of their efforts on feeding their bodies a clean body building diet and only 20% of their effort is spent in the gym executing their body building workouts.

The best body building diet plans start with eating frequent meals providing the body with the correct ratio of protein, carbohydrates and fats at regular intervals throughout the day. Eating small meals several times a day raises your metabolism and increases the rate at which your body burns fat. It is exceedingly important to keep your metabolism regularly fed, without regular intervals of nutrition, your body will switch to a fat storage machine rather than a fat burning machine.

Your body has a survival mechanism which automatically switches to the fat storage mode if you leave it unfed for more than three or four hours. Fighting for survival, it starts feeding on lean muscle tissue for energy and storing calories as fat. That is why it is vital that you begin your body building diet with a strict regiment of six to eight meals per day spaced out no longer than 3 hours apart, two hours apart is ideal.

Your body building diet meals must include a balance of carbohydrates, proteins and fat. These are the macronutrients that must be present in order for your body to effectively build muscle, burn fat and repair itself. Eating a meal that is not balanced, for instance all carbs and no protein or fat, will not give you the muscle building results you are after. If you eat a meal consisting of only carbohydrates, your energy levels will crash and your body will store any unused carbs into fat. If you eat a meal consisting of only protein, you will lack energy and your body will not be able to turn the protein into muscle because it is difficult for your body to absorb protein without carbohydrates.

It is absolutely vital that you include a balanced meal every two to three hours to fortify your body with the nutrients it needs, but how many ounces, grams or servings of protein, carbs and fat is right for you? It all depends on your bodybuilding goals, do you want to build muscle and lose weight at the same time? Or do you just want to build muscle mass as quickly as possible?

Precise nutrient measurements are imperative to your success, you could base your body building diet on the standard 40% Carbs, 40% Protein and 20% Fat; or you could let a Natural Bodybuilding Champion show you exactly how to build a personalized diet plan that will deliver the powerful muscle producing results you are looking for at RippedNaturalBodybuilding.com

Keep a Food Journal For Fast Bodybuilding Results!

One of the most powerful tips that I can share with you for fast bodybuilding results is to keep a food journal. You can either use pen and paper or a program like Microsoft Excel (which is what I use). But being able to know what foods you eat and in what quantities is what differentiates the people that make the quickest bodybuilding results from those that do not. By having a food journal you can keep track of how many protein, fats and carbs you take in on a daily basis and thus, you can start adjusting your nutrition in order to make gains in muscle without gains in body fat, or in order to lose body fat while gaining muscle. You can also make notes as to which foods your body responds better.

At first, it takes work to set the journal up and you may not be used to measuring your food and then writing down the proteins, carbs and fats of every item but I promise you that the work is well worth it (as any competitive athlete can tell you) and it gets easier with time. So even if you don't do bodybuilding competitions but want to get in the best shape possible, implement this tip that us competitors use and you will see the difference that it makes!

What's The Optimal Bodybuilding Workout Time for Best Results?

For optimal bodybuilding results, you cannot stay in the gym longer than an hour as otherwise your cortisol levels will go through the roof and your testosterone levels will drop! Do yourself a favor and focus during your workouts so that you can get the work done before the hour expires.

Most of my workouts these days are done in 45 minutes tops!

Again, I think I will need to clarify (as I get this question all of the time) that this short workout rule is not only for "advanced bodybuilders who have good mass already". This rule applies to everyone across the board. Studies on hormonal activity during training show time and time again that bad things begin to happen in the blood chemistry when workouts are too long (testosterone and GH levels drop while cortisol increases). Thus, no time to talk in the gym nor socialize. Get in, stimulate the muscle, and get out!

Up The Exercise Intensity For Mind-Blowing Results

Millions of people commit many of hours out of their schedules at health clubs working out. The sad fact is, most fitness enthusiasts who regularly visit gyms know little about what makes up an effective workout system. In this article, I want to dispel 90% of the hype and help you understand exactly how to build your routine so it will guarantee that every second you spend in the gym will help you get stronger. After all, you spend a lot of time lifting weights; don't you want to make sure your workout time is spent as efficiently as possible?

With so many strength-training systems on the market today, it becomes difficult to cut through all the noise and find a training system that is based on solid science. A good indicator that a strength training system is less effective is if it uses a one-size-fits-all approach. Your body is unique. You are different than anyone else. It simply doesn't make sense that if you do exactly the same thing in the gym as everyone else, you will get the same results as everyone else. To get the best results, you must understand your body's individual needs. If you can give your body exactly the exercise it needs, nothing more or less, you will maximize your training results while not wasting even a second of your valuable time in the gym.

Another solid indicator that a strength training system is bogus is whether it is based in biology. Many strength-training systems are simply anecdotal. Some fitness gurus peddle their opinions, passing them off as training gospel just because it feels right to them. Be careful. A good training system should be backed up by the physiology of the human muscular system. The more a strength training system is steeped in the actual workings of the human body, the more customized it will be to your body type and the better it will work.

Now that we have explored a couple of indicators of less effective strength training systems, lets take a look at a system that IS based solidly in physiology and IS completely customized to your body.

Scientifically steeped high intensity training (HIT) power-packs your strength training routines. HIT training teaches that muscles grow and adapt more efficiently if they are worked intensely for short bursts of time on a relatively infrequent basis.

Three elements make up an effective HIT workout regimen; slow lifting cadence, timed sets, and adequate rest and recovery time between workouts. Lets take a closer look at these three elements.

Slow Lifting Cadence

Cadence, as related to strength training, is the time it takes to perform one full rep of exercise. Use of a slow lifting cadence is an excellent way to make every second of your workout count.

Fast, explosive weight lifting introduces many problems. First, it is less effective. Your goal, during a set of exercise, should be to spend every available ounce of muscular energy; you can't hope to accomplish this goal if you continually throw the weight past the most demanding parts of the exercise. Second, explosive lifting is dangerous; you can expose yourself to hazardous acceleration, velocity, and momentum spikes. These spikes can lead to loss of control of the weight, causing painful, and possibly permanent, injuries.

To get the most out of your workout, use a slow lifting cadence with every exercise. Each exercise should be divided into 3 lifting phases; move:hold:move. As a rule of thumb, use a 5:2:5 lifting cadence; 5 full seconds to move the weight from an exercise's starting position to its fully contracted position (the most difficult position at which to hold the weight); 2 full seconds to hold the weight in the fully contracted position; 5 full seconds to move the weight back to starting position. It should take a total of 12 seconds to perform one rep of exercise. If you lift enough weight and use a slow cadence, you can be sure that you are firing as much muscle fiber as possible.

Timed Sets

By timing your sets, you can determine the correct weight to rack up for each exercise. You can also be certain that your muscles are sufficiently spent during each set.

We have long been conditioned to break weight training exercise into sets and reps. Many strength training systems prescribe a consistent quantity of sets and reps for every person, regardless of sex or body type. This one-size-fits-all approach might not be optimal for you. Your muscular system is different than anyone else's. It's important, if you want big-time training results, to adapt your exercise regiment to your body's specific needs. Timed sets is the best way to determine how much exercise is best for each of your muscle groups.

To time your sets, you will need a stopwatch. At the beginning of each set, start the clock. With the seconds ticking, perform the exercise until you hit muscle failure. Don't worry about counting reps; complete muscle failure is your objective. Lift until you can't move the weight another inch, then try one more rep. After you have spent every ounce of your muscular energy, stop the clock. Your final seconds count is called your time under load--the total time spent performing the exercise.

A good set of exercise is not made up of a quantity of reps; it is made up of 30 to 60 seconds of high quality, slow cadenced exercise, with muscle failure at the end of the set. As you gain muscle mass, you will have to increase the weight you lift to keep your sets at between 30 to 60 seconds.

Adequate Rest And Recovery Time

With adequate rest and recovery time between workouts, you will hit the gym mentally and physically ready to workout with precision and energy.

Overtraining is a chronic problem among gym rats. Too often the success of a strength-training regimen is measured by the quantity of hours spent in the gym. Each time you workout, you spend a tremendous amount of muscular energy, leaving your muscles in a state of controlled shock. It takes a number of days to fully recover. If over-trained, muscles can remain in a continuously weakened state--a state at which they cannot perform beyond their usual, daily workload. Unless muscles are trained at a level far beyond what is usually expected of them, they cannot adapt by growing, hardening, and strengthening.

You must allow your muscles to fully recover between workouts. This means your strength-training regimen should have more off days than on days. To start, take 2 days off between workouts. As you gain muscle mass, you will need to add additional rest and recovery days. If you experience a stall in your strength gain progress, take a full week off from training so you can hit the gym recharged and strong. Often, the best way to break through a training plateau is to workout less frequently, not to increase hours spent in the gym.

When it comes to workout frequency, don't fall victim to the more is more mentality. Your strength gains stay with you for months before beginning to fade away. As long as you stimulate your muscles into growth and adaptation on a regular and relatively infrequent basis, you will make steady, satisfying progress.

There you have it. If you are after tremendous muscle mass gains and satisfying fat loss, high intensity training is the key. With a relatively infrequent, hard-hitting strength training routine, using slow lifting cadence, you can skyrocket your training success into the stratosphere.

Ready to Shock Your Friends? Here's a Weight Lifting Schedule Which Will Guarantee Results - Fast!

Looking for a good weight lifting schedule to follow?  If you're going to lift some weights you need a plan as to when you're going to work what body parts and what exercises you're going to do, if you don't , you'll see sub-par results. 

With that in mind, here's a look at a good weight lifting schedule you can implement which will yield great results:

1.     Monday - Pecs and Triceps

Start off your Monday by working on your pecs first and foremost.  You want to tire out your major muscle groups before working on your minor ones, such as your triceps.  Do this by doing some flat and inclined bench press as well as dumbbell flys.

When it comes to the triceps, try the tricep pulldown and skullcrushers.

2.     Wednesday - Quads and Calves

You want your next session to be your lower body so you give your upper body more time to recover.  This will be the day in which you implement both squats and the leg press to workout your quads.  Nothing beats squatting for adding mass so make sure your emphasis is on that exercise.

For calves, you can utilize the leg press to work them as well, or you can try the seated calf raise.

3.     Friday - Back, Shoulders and Biceps

This will be a heavy day for you, to start things off, you'll want to do some deadlifts to build a thick back and pull ups to get a larger "V" taper.

As for your shoulders, do some dumbbell or barbell shrugs and some shoulder presses.

Finally for your biceps, some curls and hammer curls should round things off well.

Now this weight lifting schedule should be enough to get you started, but to really succeed, you're going to want a proven plan and diet to follow for maximum gains.

Now, if you've tired of spinning your wheels and making no progress pay close attention! Fast muscle building tactics are about to be revealed to you. Discover the shocking truth about how anyone can obtain the ripped, smokin' hot body they desire. Listen to one rogue bodybuilder while he reveals all by clicking here: How To Gain Muscle Mass

Weight Lifting Techniques - Learn the Right Routines to Get Results From Your Workout

There are a million exercises for weight lifters. They range from simple to complex. Many believe the more complex the exercise the more effective the results. This isn't always the case. What is important is that these exercises should be done properly in order to derive the maximum benefits they have to offer. That is why you should always use the right weight lifting techniques during your workouts.

How to get the right techniques

The best way to learn the right weight lifting technique is to be taught by a professional. There is no better way. Many people rely on their friends and family members to teach them how to perform certain exercises. While you may save time or money, you'll end up paying for it later on. The best way to learn how to drive a car is to go to a driving school. The same applies for weight lifting too.

Another way you can learn the proper weight lifting techniques is to read a well illustrated workout book that shows you the various movements involved in doing particular exercises. You need to keep this book with you when you visit the gym, especially when you are going to try a particular exercise for the first time. After a while, you'll know the exercises by heart.

When learning weight lifting techniques, you must not rush. It is better to start slowly so that you can master every movement perfectly. Again, you must start with lighter weights before moving on to heavier ones. It will be more difficult if you try a new technique as though you have already mastered it.

Why you must take time to learn

The first reason is to learn techniques is to avoid getting injured. This could be very serious if you don't learn the techniques properly. The effects of injury can be disastrous so you must do everything to avoid it.

When you take time to learn, your workouts become more effective as you get to target the right muscle groups. You also focus better during the workouts than when you rush through the learning process. By working hard and working smart, you'll see the best results.

It is important to know that weight lifting techniques vary from one type of exercise to the other. But you need to follow the rules of safety. And here common sense comes to play. When you realize that you might get hurt by what you are trying to do, just stop. Unnecessary risks are not worth taking.

To get big quick, you must do the correct weight lifting techniques. To learn some simple tips and tricks that helped me pack on muscles, click here.

How to Keep Getting Results From Your Weight Lifting Program

If you have been lifting weights for any length of time then you know after about 3 to 6 months the results and gains will end. If you are new to weight lifting you have probably experienced this and don't know what went wrong.

When you begin a weight lifting routine you will notice maximum results in the first three months. However, your results will begin to stop within three to six months. The reason this happens is because your body and muscles get used to the routine and stop responding to the exercise. So if you notice that you are not getting the results like before it's not because you are doing something wrong.

The best way to combat this is to switch up your routine and do different exercises on different days. For example 1 week do short bursts of low repetition heavy weight lifting. For a low repetition heavy weight routine you want to make sure you are lifting 80% of your 1 rep max. The following week you might want to concentrate on mixing up your routine. Isolating one muscle group in a workout session then on the next session isolating another muscle group. You may also want or need to increase the weight you are lifting. The idea is to not let your body or muscles get used to one exercise routine. You have to constantly shock your muscles into growth.

You also might want to consider adding to your caloric intake. Preferably your protein intake. Proteins are the building blocks for muscle gain. I don't advise upping your calories drastically. Start small 5,10 15 or 20 until your body gets used to consuming the extra calories. Watch your carbohydrate, fat and sugar intake and be sure to include some cardio exercises into your routine.

If you do all that is advised in this article you should once again begin to see results in your muscle mass and gain.

To your health,

D

Weight Lifting Routines - Do You Really Know the Basics You Need For Maximum Results?

Weight training should begin with determining if medical clearance is warranted; if so, obtain it before you start a program. Sound training technique requires a proper grip and a stable position from which to lift. You must keep the object being lifted close to your body and use your legs rather than your back.

Remember, hips stay low as the legs straighten. This is true regardless of whether you are lifting a barbell or a box off the floor or spotting an exercise. Developing good fundamental techniques will help you avoid injury and work your muscles in ways that produce optimal results in weight lifting routines.

Once you have learned about and practiced fundamental lifting skills and proper breathing and spotting techniques, you are ready to move on learning how to perform and use the weight training exercises that will make up your new program.

Breathing

The best time to exhale in most exercises is during the sticking point, or the most difficult point in a repetition. Inhalation should occur during the relaxation phase, or easiest point in a repetition. For example, in the upward movement of the biceps curl, exhalation should occur when the forearms are parallel with the floor (the most difficult point). Inhalation should occur as the bar is being lowered (the easiest point). In exercises in which upper-torso stabilization is needed to help maintain a correct lifting position, such as in back squat or hang clean, breathing should occur at the end of the sticking point.

Be aware that in most exercises you will have a tendency to hold your breath too long. This should be avoided because it is dangerous! By not exhaling, you reduce the return of blood to your heart, which in turn reduces the blood flow to the brain. If the brain is deprived of oxygen-rich blood, you will become dizzy and may faint. Holding the breath too long is especially dangerous if you are performing overhead free-weight exercises. If you have high blood pressure, consulting a physician before you begin a weight training program is imperative; once training, you must exhale through the sticking point in each repetition.

Weight Lifting Tips - 2 Absolutely Golden Rules For Ultimate Results!

Whether you're lifting weights to bulk up or whether you're lifting weights to burn fat, whether you're male or female (Yes, if you're female you should be lifting weights!), then you obviously want to get make sure that you're lifting them optimally and getting the results you desire as quickly as possible!

No use wasting more time, right? Gaining muscle or burning fat take long enough as it is without you slowing your progress by using the wrong weight lifting exercises or incorrect technique so here are the most important weight lifting tips that you should be following! Be ready to take some notes..

1) Exercise Selection - Use compound exercises!

Before I get into compound exercises, you should make sure that you have a goal established!

The most common are gaining weight or losing it. This tip applies to both. In fact, this tip applies to you even if you're looking for sports specific power or speed as well.

You must use compound movements! What are these? You know those little exercises you're doing at the moment? Tricep kickbacks, bicep curls, leg extentions, leg curls? These AREN'T them!

While there is a place for these exercises, they're inefficient! Men over use them as well, but ladies sorry, you guys are the biggest culprits for getting a teeny pink dumbell and kicking your arm back until the cows come home!

If you want to build maximum muscle or burn the most calories/fat in the shortest period of time, you MUST use BIG exercises! I'm talking squats, lunges, deadlifts, bench presses, dips, pull ups etc!

How does that work? Simply because you are using more muscle groups in one exercise!

2) Are You Using Sufficient Weight?

Now I ask this with caution because I don't want my readers running off piling on tons of weight to their barbell while their exercise technique takes a nose-dive rendering it ineffective, or worse, causes an injury.

However, if you are using those baby weights and can do a million repetitions until night becomes day, then you're not lifting heavy enough! Again, this applies to both genders!

Think of your body as a survival vessel. Your body will only adapt and make changes to your body to ensure your survival.

Now if you were your body, do you really think those teeny pink dumbbells are a threat to your existence?? No? How do you expect your body to change then?

Now this sounds extreme and it sounds like I'm asking you to give yourself a near death experience! Not so but do give your body a reason to change by lifting CHALLENGING weights! You won't grow muscle if you aren't sending your body the signal that they need to be bigger in order to handle the heavy weights.

If your goal is to burn fat, you must provide as much stimulation as you can to preserve your muscle tissue! If you lose muscle tissue, your metabolism will slow down which means...Hello fat gain!

A good guideline is to ensure that the last 2 repetitions of your exercise feel like you're using every last muscle fiber in your body to complete the rep. (depending on the kind of training you're doing)

I sincerely hope these 2 weight lifting tips have helped move you forward and closer to your fitness goals - Don't over complicate things, just take action!

Is a Workout Meal Prior to Weight Lifting Beneficial in Boosting Muscle Building Results?

Nutrition is one of the most confusing muscle building subjects, and many bodybuilders achieve terrible results specifically due to serious diet errors. Those who wish to gain muscle mass are often wondering exactly when they should consume meals, especially in relation to the weight training workout itself, with some aiming for a complete meal prior to performing a workout, and others avoiding food before a grueling bodybuilding session, with a feeling that more fat burning will occur when food is restricted prior to an exercise period.

Obviously, these wide range of opinions create much frustration for the bodybuilder who is seeking maximum muscle gain, but there is a clear answer pertaining to eating before weight lifting, in that doing so is extremely beneficial for muscle building. In fact, intensity must remain extremely high for a workout to consistently enhance muscle mass, and this becomes difficult if not impossible for most when attempting to perform a bodybuilding session on an empty stomach. For those who plan early morning workouts, this becomes especially problematic, as energy levels are low due to the evening fast, and even though performing a weight training workout in such a scenario is clearly possible, intensity will greatly decline, which leads to disappointing muscle gain.

The best method is to fuel the body with a correctly balanced protein and carbohydrate meal prior to a bodybuilding session, as protein is always used by the body for recovery and to build new muscle mass, while carbohydrates are the chosen energy source for intense workouts, and designing a meal with ample carbohydrates preceding a bodybuilding workout will allow energy levels to significantly improve intensity, propelling muscle growth to new heights. Some tend to experience feelings of sickness when consuming a meal in proximity to weight lifting, but this does not necessitate performing a workout on an empty stomach, as the spacing between the workout meal and training can expand to the minimum necessary for a bodybuilder to train without experiencing feelings of nausea, which will greatly improve results.

There are bodybuilders who must perform their bodybuilding sessions prior to work, otherwise they will either not have sufficient time for a workout, or are likely to become busy later in the day and neglect their weight lifting obligations, therefore, in such scenarios, it's far better to perform a workout in the morning without the benefit of a meal preceding such a session than to become inconsistent, but if there is any possible way to consume a meal at minimum 30 minutes prior to a weight lifting workout (60-90 minutes is best), then doing so will greatly assist in improving long term muscle growth.

Bodybuilding is not the most enjoyable activity, but the progress achieved when following a potent training and diet plan are motivational, extremely worthwhile, but many experience a sense of negativity towards their workouts that encourages inconsistency specifically due to poor nutrition, as the absence of an energizing meal prior to a bodybuilding session can eliminate all motivation to train. Even those who seek fat loss benefit from consuming food before their workout, as a properly structured meal will not interfere with fat reduction, and in fact, avoiding food can slow metabolism and increase the risk of muscle loss, which harms physical appearance, and will adversely impact the overall speed of fat loss. Since many accept incorrect muscle gain or fat reduction diet advice found on Internet fitness sites, they believe that certain methods, such as skipping food before a bodybuilding workout, is beneficial to progress, when in fact, such methods are the very reason why numerous bodybuilders gain muscle mass at a slower than expected pace, and those seeking fat loss burn muscle at an alarming rate, or find that fat reduction is far less visible and captivating than they had hoped.

Do not allow hunger to become the barometer for whether you consume food prior to a bodybuilding session, as even those with tiny appetites are in need of nutrition before a workout, and there are a wide range of convenient, easy to consume and quick to prepare protein and carbohydrate sources that will make a feeding prior to weight lifting enjoyable to consume, and simple to digest.

How Long For MT-2 Results?

Arguably one of the most asked questions seen time and time again. Prospective MT-2 users should be well read on the topic before melanotan peptide experimentation. Results in terms of MT-2 use varies from person to person. Some folks use melanotan peptides as they are very fair skinned and lack in quantity and affinity to alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone (a-MSH). Others utilize efficient melanotan peptide (MT-2) in order to cut back on ultraviolet radiation at the same time achieving a dark glowing tone - amplifying their already melanin savvy melanocytes.

What is a melanin savvy melanocyte? I am not sure. However a MT-2 user needs to access what superphysiological a-MSH will do to the skin. Will your skin turn brown, black, red, orange or freckle is the critical question to address.

One key is to find a credible before and after photo who matches your individual skin type. Hopefully a corresponding user log will be available. There are so many wonderful resources available today with knowledgeable users sharing their experiences there are no excuses to go into this research blind. Diligently seek the council of others before and during melanotan peptide experimentation. One should pay attention to the reasons why folks use, what advantages and disadvantages the peptides offer. Valid information is spread out in various communities since 2003ish. Many anti-aging, bodybuilding, and performance enhancement communities were first to guinea pig the products. Google Melanotan 2 before and after photos.

With so many success stories and demand so high for melanotan peptides, information and council...the current trend may be moving towards the awareness of who is NOT a good candidate. Establishing whether or not one is a candidate is extremely challenging and individual. Those with sun damaged skin (moles/freckles) are the ones who need to may particularly close attention to the negative stories out there. Not many out there seek out melanotan peptides to find themselves at a dermatologist or plastic surgeons office a year later to have a body of moles removed...leaving scars and areas even more susceptible to UV ray sensitivity.

Imagine yourself with your skin tone the way it is at the present. Imagine what your skin would look like with your current freckles a deep dark brown...almost like a Dalmatian in contrast. Envision what it will take in order for your skin to handle super levels of melanocyte stimulation and spread the tone pleasantly throughout the body. Initiating a melanotan cycle is not something to casually take on. Melanotan success will need to be planned. Melanotan is a life changing peptide which opens many doors and opportunities. Melanotan helps a very specific niche market and is not for everyone.

Different areas of your body respond differently to sunlight/UV rays. Melanotan users, as we touched on earlier, are very individual. Each researcher needs to be in tune with their body...and listen to it! You know your body best, not many melanotan users can seek the council of a knowledgeable MD. A man who has worked outside with a history of a farmers tan will find himself amplifying his farmers tan considerably if measures are not taken to counter the extreme melanocyte activity brought on via a-MSH. All variables left the same; UV exposure to his face will have a greater impact than his stomach. Throughout his life his face has seen much more exposure and his melanocytes have been activated and put to work, whereas his belly remains white and melanin challenged. Melanotan users who know and understand their arms and face (whatever is routinely around the sunlight) will darken/pigment at an increased rate will need to use extra protection in those areas in order to develop a uniform consistent tan. This means that if you are out in the sun, where sunscreen and cover up. This means if you want to bring up your pale areas you will need to exposure them to UV and be conscious of protecting your skin. Avoid burning, use tanning lotion, supplement anti-oxidants & vit D etc. Do not casually or carelessly encounter sun exposure on MT-2.

So how long before MT-2 results you ask?

For the ill-prepared MT-2 user, QUICKLY. There is a stage all melanotan users go through in the initial process where areas of sun damage show melanin activity while the remainder of the body lags behind. Generally speaking the first two weeks of melanotan use can show the challenges and overcome the physical and emotional hurdles.

Hopefully the tone of this thread can pick up. Would love to hear user stories and feedback on the subject - everyone who has used Melanotan has a story. I have plenty bias, lack in the natural level AND affinity to a-MSH & am one of the ideal candidates for the products which I have such a passion for. Melanotan peptides have changed my life, lifestyle and cannot praise them enough.

Getting Rapid Results From Body-Building And Exercises

It has been proven that women who exercise regularly have a 20% less chance of developing breast cancer, a 30% less chance of suffering from heart disease, and a high 50% less chance of developing diabetes. And the statistics in men: 50% of all deaths due to chronic diseases are caused by a lack of physical exercise. Now, don't you think theses are some compelling reasons to exercise more regularly?

There are several exercises that help in achieving your desired physique, but it really doesn't matter the exercises you decide to do. As long as you can reach an optimal level of physical exertion that will stimulate your body to burn excess body fat and increase its metabolic rate. Some people all this optimal level of physical exertion the 'proper zone'

In order to do this, it is best to exercise for a minimum of 30-40minutes, 4-5 times a week, with your heart rate around 70-80% of your maximum. When you exercise with your heart rate below the70% low range, it's still healthy but it is not enough to make a noticeable change in your body physique. On the other hand, exercising with your heart rate above your 805 high range is unhealthy and burns muscle rather than body fat. So stay above or at the 70% and never go above your 80% target.

And if you are thinking that you don't have 30miutes to spare 4 times a week to do your workouts, you really have to start now. Just start slow! Start now! The key to success in exercising is consistency. If you cannot do 30-40minutes, then start with 15minutes, and then do it twice a week if you can't do it 4 times. Then as time goes on, you will find it easy to increase your exercise time

Body Building Diet Tips - Amplify Your Results With Precision Nutrition

Body building diet and nutrition meal plans should be designed to precisely fortify your body with power nutrients to build muscle fast. If you follow the right body building diet, you can quickly drop body fat and build muscle mass in a short period of time. Are you ready to learn how to get ripped and build a rock-hard physique? Here is what it's going to take:

Many people think that building a ripped body means you have to spend 2 to 3 grueling hours in the gym everyday and eat a specialized body building diet packed with expensive body building supplements, but that just isn't the case. The truth is, you can build a lean strong body by eating a clean, precisely fortified diet while spending only an hour or so in the gym each day.

Building muscle is all about training smarter, not harder. If you want to build a ripped body, you need to focus your attention on what you feed it, not so much on how hard you can shred it. Body building champions spend 80% of their efforts on feeding their bodies a clean body building diet and only 20% of their effort is spent in the gym executing their body building workouts.

The best body building diet plans start with eating frequent meals providing the body with the correct ratio of protein, carbohydrates and fats at regular intervals throughout the day. Eating small meals several times a day raises your metabolism and increases the rate at which your body burns fat. It is exceedingly important to keep your metabolism regularly fed, without regular intervals of nutrition, your body will switch to a fat storage machine rather than a fat burning machine.

Your body has a survival mechanism which automatically switches to the fat storage mode if you leave it unfed for more than three or four hours. Fighting for survival, it starts feeding on lean muscle tissue for energy and storing calories as fat. That is why it is vital that you begin your body building diet with a strict regiment of six to eight meals per day spaced out no longer than 3 hours apart, two hours apart is ideal.

Your body building diet meals must include a balance of carbohydrates, proteins and fat. These are the macronutrients that must be present in order for your body to effectively build muscle, burn fat and repair itself. Eating a meal that is not balanced, for instance all carbs and no protein or fat, will not give you the muscle building results you are after. If you eat a meal consisting of only carbohydrates, your energy levels will crash and your body will store any unused carbs into fat. If you eat a meal consisting of only protein, you will lack energy and your body will not be able to turn the protein into muscle because it is difficult for your body to absorb protein without carbohydrates.

It is absolutely vital that you include a balanced meal every two to three hours to fortify your body with the nutrients it needs, but how many ounces, grams or servings of protein, carbs and fat is right for you? It all depends on your bodybuilding goals, do you want to build muscle and lose weight at the same time? Or do you just want to build muscle mass as quickly as possible?

Precise nutrient measurements are imperative to your success, you could base your body building diet on the standard 40% Carbs, 40% Protein and 20% Fat; or you could let a Natural Bodybuilding Champion show you exactly how to build a personalized diet plan that will deliver the powerful muscle producing results you are looking for at RippedNaturalBodybuilding.com
