3 Fictions Busted On How To Build Muscle

Written by ama on March 15, 2011 – 1:46 pm -

Nowadays there is no shortage of information about how to build muscle. And aside from a few good sources, most of them are dead ends and do not provide you with any real information.

Over the years I had been exposed to this phenomenon and I have been discouraged and frustrated because of it and that is why I am so passionate about helping you to discover some of the common myths that are being exposed these days on the internet and even in the real life fitness industry.

Alright, time to blow the lid off of 3 myths on how to build muscle.

Myth 1: Supplements Are The Only Way To Build Muscle

How many times have you felt like you are being bombarded on the internet about buying some new supplement out there? I know that I feel that way most times when I read a muscle magazine or if I happen to wander into the local supplement shot to buy some regular protein powder.

The industry is lying to you when they tell you that a supplement can build muscle for you. That is a total load of B.S.

Afore I go on and make enemies from people in the supplement market, let me be honest and let you know that there are some supplements that are essential to build muscle including protein powder, multivitamin’s, fish oils and digestive enzymes in addition to some other one’s if you are a bit more advanced.

But generally I am talking about supplements that claim they elevate testosterone levels by 1800% or that it will help you gain 14lbs in 3 days. C’mon now, get real!

Get the basics, but understand a supplement is just a supplement. It’s an addition that will only have a inconsiderable positive affect whenever everything else is in line such as nutrition, workout and recovery. You’re better off saving your money to build muscle by investing in high quality food.

Myth 2: Training Like A Bodybuilder Will Help You Look Like A Bodybuilder

If a guy like Arnold or Ronnie Coleman works out for 3 hours a day, then why shouldn’t you?

Well because, if you are a natural trainer (steroid free) you cannot expect to follow the same routine as someone who is un-natural and get the same results.

It just doesn’t make sense. You need to train like a natural athlete and that means keeping the intensity high and the workout time to about an hour a session and only about 4 workouts per week works best.

Besides, even if you were taking un-natural supplements (which I do not recommend) you still need to walk before you crawl or walk before you run. It’s about progression and even when natural you should gradually ramp up your workout time until you can have a 1 hour intense workout session.

You will be limited in your results while staying natural but research has proven you will be far better off in the long run with much less side effects.

Myth 3: Carbs Will Make You Fat

Carbs have gotten a bad rap in the past decade and its really for no good reason.

Yes carbs can make you fat if you consume the wrong types and in a surplus. But then again, so can fats and to a lesser extent protein’s. Anything in excess will cause fat gain.

You might think consuming carbs will lead to fat gain, but when you want to build muscle you really want to focus on having 50% of your calorie intake come from carbs.

Of course, be sure to include the clean sources (yams, brown rice, oats and veggies) and it will provide constant energy in your everyday activities as well as help you build muscle by being stronger in your workouts.

So go ahead and eat those carbs! Above all if you are a Hardgainer and you long to build muscle.

Building Muscle In 3 Hours A Week

Written by ama on December 27, 2010 – 7:49 pm -

Many people are training today up to 2 hours a day and many are training even more than this! Is it really necessary to train this amount and also is actually feasible for many that want to achieve their ideal body to be training this much? No is the quick answer to that! Many people read the articles and magazines of Arnold Schwarzenegger or the current top champions and fitness models. Many of these training programmes promote workout after workout day after day hour after hour, however this seems to be absolute garbage. Please be aware of the main goal of the articles and training routines your be reading, unless the article is backed up with solid exercise science why continue to read it, there are alot of variables involved in it?

What we are discovering in modern exercise science is the fact that testosterone and growth hormone levels start to dramatically drop after 50 minutes to an hour of working out. If one continues exercising beyond 50 minutes the body will become catabolic and testosterone levels start to become depleted. This is resulting in the exact opposite effect of what we are aiming to achieve with our workouts.

The routines in magazines shouldn't really be duplicated by any means, because they are individual to whoever used them, and usually they have got.. Genetics. Someone who has fantastic genetics will be able to tolerate a lot more exercise volume than someone with poorer genetics. If your looking for help in your training you have got great genetics, bottom line. they have the best genetics, which means training and growing muscle is something they don't have to work at as much. The difference is that anyone reading this hasnt got superior genetics i would tend to guess and in order for them to achieve their ideal body stop following the advises of the top top champs and listen to the real experts.

Many of you reading this are wondering what's the best way to build slabs of muscle at lightening quick pace. The best way for someone to build muscle right now is to have 3 workouts a week. Each lasting no longer than 50 minutes and picking compound movements for each muscle group. The body works with the use of supporting muscle so this means that during any back move biceps and forearms are also involved. This means to build muscle focus entirely on compound and forget isolation moves. The bottom line with HIT is to start of with 6 intense worksets for the big muscle groups and then focus on 4 worksets for the smaller muscle groups, pick a selection of compound moves. Failure means you cannot perform another rep on the pulling or pushing phase of the move. Absolute failure with training is something that's vital to get used to.

Implement the tips and strategies i have added within this article and i will guarantee to you that your add a pound a muscle a week for the next 2 months, as long as your nutrition is good also.

Supplements, Health And Nutrition

Written by admin on July 21, 2010 – 12:18 pm -

2 Supplements, Health and Nutrition Weather you're a beginner or someone who's been working out for a while, but still learning, then one thing that you need to know the importance of is diet. To achieve any level of fitness usually takes at least some form of diet adjustment to get your desired results. Without adjusting your diet along with your activity level you'd just be wasting your time. A lot of people give up on trying to get in genuinely good shape or trying to reach thier goals because they get discouraged about being unable to attain their goal as easily as they want to. But what they obviously fail to realize is a fact of life; Nothing worth having is attained as easily as one would want it to be. That's where hard work and dedication comes in. Even if you're in good shape already, you're not going to be able to even keep your health unless you work at trying to maintain it. And while maintaining what you have takes work of it's own, there's little that can compare to the amount of work that someone has to go through to get in good shape once they've let themselves get in bad shape. Take it from me, when it comes to getting in shape, climbing up is harder than staying up. But all of it takes hard work and dedication. And more dedication than most are willing to have. But the ones who do have it know it and can be proud of the hard work that they've put in to their bodies. And coupling nutrition with exercise is essential for maximum benefit (and sometimes for any visible benefit at all).

First and foremost, the thing that you'll need to look into is calorie intake based on your present weight and what is considered a healthy weight for your height and gender. The most accurate way of doing this is getting your body fat percentage tested and then having yours compared to what is considered healthy for your height and gender. But the easiest way is to just use your best, and more importantly, your honest judgement of your own visual assessment of yourself. There's no room for delusions here if you're trying to make real changes to your body. You must put aside your insecurities or false pride and trade them in for honesty. Then you can experience the sweet and the sour of the truth about your figure and physical progress instead of just feeling an unconstructive amount of shame that's compounded by inaction or an undeserved amount of pride for what is essentually nothing worth bragging over. Once you've done that you can narrow the rest down from there and begin making the changes that you want to make to your body. Nomatter what changes you want to make to your body, it's best to be realistic about how long it will take. Never assume that your goal will come quick, but do keep track of the progress you're making and make adjustments to your diet or activity accordingly. You'll also want a crash course in general nutrition and get a basic idea of how everything you put in your body is going to be used.

Next, if you've not already started, after a crash course in nutrition you'll want to start exercising immediately. Don't worry so much about doing one specific type of workout, the key is to always do something. Even if you're just jumping rope or doing jumping jacks, doing pushups or doing crunches every day, nomatter what you're doing when you first start, the key is to get used to doing something. Putting off what you could be doing just because it's not what you'd prefer to be doing is just an excuse that will soon make you drop the idea of getting in better shape at all. One excuse will lead to another and before you know it you'll be in even worse shape and looking for ways to lie to yourself just to keep putting it off. The hardest part is getting motivated, the easiest mistake you can make is to not find a way to be. But once you've started just keep on going, the more you do the more used to it you'll get. Always be willing to introduce new things in to your routine. This will not only keep you from getting bored with your workouts, but will also keep you getting good results as your body won't have time to get used to the same old thigs and will always be forced to adapt.

I advise anyone who's interested in being fit to stick with it. Just remember this, your hard work may yeild quick and great results or it may yield very hard earned results that bring you to your goals slower than you would like. Either way, just remember this, doing nothing at all won't yield any positive results.

Note: I am not a doctor, nor do I make any claim to be. I take no responability for your personal decisions. You're in charge of your health. It is always best to consult with your doctor about anything that you're unsure about pertaining to your health.
