Listen to the Body Signals

It is important that you as a bodybuilder learn how to listen to your body’s signals and understand what they are all about. The ground rule here is that pain is negative because pain will reduce what you possibly could have gained. This can also damage your body and give you even more pain, so I am not all in for the well known “no pain no gain” line. The bodybuilders in today’s society is training way to hard this results in that they use longer time to regain there muscles and they cannot train as often as they should. The pain only belongs when you are in a competition when you give everything your body can handle. On a normal training session you should however not train until your muscles starts to really hurt.
You only have to use common sense when you think about what pain gives you. The body gives the builder pain because it does not want to continue with what you are doing. In many cases the builder understands this but still they push their bodies to the limit on each training session. This can work fine a few times but if you do it often it will stop your progress and cause more pain, damages and other nasty things. If you are one of the pushing types try to take it easy on your body for a while and you will see a lot more progress, because your muscles will be able to heal and regain completely

Muscles are Cool but be Careful


As we all know muscles and big bodies are in trend and especially when it comes to summer and party time. I mean who don’t want a hot body to show the girls right? The problem is that everyone wants this and they don’t care what they have to do to get it. A new coming trend is to pump oil injections straight into your muscles. If you do this in biceps it will increase with 5 cm over a few minutes. This is very popular now and especially at parties. What people don’t know is that if you hit a blood vane you could die or cause a lot of pain and damages to your body.

A oil called Synthol is the most popular oil, this oil is mixed between several other oils and contains 7,5 percent lidokain which will make it lesser painful to do the injection. Only 30% of the oil you inject into your body will go away, the rest of the oil will stay there for many years. The 70% will remain into your muscles and each time you take a new injection your muscles will get bigger and bigger until they blow apart and you have to lay down in a bed at the hospital without being able to move your body for the rest of your life. So for the teens that read this and think it is so cool to be big I suggest that you think twice before you do this.

Get Stronger With Mind Power

Your thoughts control a lot of your progress and experience as a body builder. First off you have to start think positive about yourself. Once you do this you have to start dream positive about yourself. You should do this as much as you can, for example when you take the bus you should dream about how you want to be and look like in the future and get positive thought to it because with positive thoughts comes positive actions. Another thing I recommend that you do is to make a plan where you write down what you will do better tomorrow. I can give you an example of a plan here:
• Tomorrow I will only drink water because I don’t want to drink soda
• I will lift 2 kilo heavier tomorrow in the gym
• I will run 90 minutes cardio tomorrow
• Cakes tastes like dog shit
• I will have extreme amounts of energy tomorrow
This way you will improve you body and your mindset and it will make it easier for you to reach your goals. You just have to collect positive energy for the things you want to complete. If you want muscles it is important to attract everything that has something with muscles to do. Read about it and study it, set goals and work hard

Hardcore Chest Training


I wanted to start things with a bang, and even if I do not feel it is the most important body part, it is that I get the most questions about. It is considered one of the “showy” muscles, and most certainly the group of muscles that most people are trying to develop fully. Some of you might be thinking biceps, but today we will take a look at the chest, or pectoral.

Everybody wants a big chest. It is all too common to see novices lifters hard on the chassis endless series of presses and cable crossovers in search of full employment, thick pecs. It is also used as a reference point for the strength (although it should not be). If I had a penny for every time I heard someone ask this question, we all heard a million times, “How do you bench?” I would be rich. Anyway, the It is a fact that the chest is a very important group of muscles of the upper body to give the appearance of thickness of the upper body.


10 Quick Tips to Build Mass Part 2


You will never arrive at a positive nitrogen balance with a diet low in calories. It takes raw materials - carbohydrates, protein and fat - to build new muscle mass and support recovery. Increasing your calories by 50% (from 3.0000 to 4500 per day, for example) for three days can stimulate growth while adding little or no bodyfat. The key is to limit the increase in calories a period of three designated days, you will be able to stimulate growth by enhancing insulin sensitivity of muscles, and by giving more carbohydrates for the storage of glycogen. If you are in a state overtrained - and if you do not earn any new muscle mass, which is certainly the case - the extra calories encourage anabolism before storing fat can kick in That’s why you want to limit the increase to 50% within three days. After this period, your return to the typical dose of daily calories, you have stimulated new growth without adding unwanted fat.

Anabolism depends on an excess of calories. As you know, bodybuilders eat four to six times a day to increase the absorption of nutrients and to provide an influx of carbohydrates, protein and fat. Expansion on the four to six meals a day is expected to include a protein drink in the middle of the night, which can encourage additional growth. Glutamine EFX, supplying 30 grams of protein and carbohydrates as well as the “big three” (see tip # 10), is a good option for this late at night, the infusion of nutrients.

Your muscles respond to the formation of three ways. When you lead with many reps (over 15), there is an increase in stamina, without a substantial improvement in the size or strength. The six to twelve rep range - the range that all major bodybuilders rely on - favours an increase in the size and strength. Powerlifters generally remain low with representatives from two to four per package, which supplements the force with slight variations in size. However, if you set aside a week of training on the job with the weight of weak representatives from the improved strength will make you stronger when you return to the six and twelve representatives routine. The formula is: More power, more tension in the muscle equals more growth.
