If your goal is to build a bigger and more perfect melon-shaped muscle ass, then you should perform butt exercises only once per week. Butt muscles are very large and require a lot of rest to recuperate. The glutes also adapt quickly… So your best best would be to incorporate any two butt exercises in addition to squats, and to perform this routine once a week for 2-3 weeks before [...]
When the average person takes a look at a bodybuilder all he sees is a series of lumps and bumps of varying shapes and sizes. Upon inspection he may find these odd protrusions to be fascinating, cool, or perhaps grotesque… maybe even a little intimidating. But little does he know how complex and intricate all these “lumps” really are! Ok, first let’s stop calling them lumps or bumps and refer [...]
There comes a time when trying to stay on that path to achieve your muscle building goals is harder than anything else in the world. Even if you do make it to the gym, you still have to make sure you workout to your fullest… or else you’re just wasting your time. Therefore, you need to follow these simple guidelines to help you stay motivated and positive in the gym: [...]
Whether you’re a pro bodybuilder or just starting out, don’t make the mistake of believing that you only need water when you’re thirsty. Your body can become dehydrated without any symptoms, whether on the hottest summer day or the coldest day of winter. You lose water through perspiration (not just the kind you see, but continual “invisible” perspiration as well), through waste removal and through breathing. Water loss increases with [...]
Good hydration helps your kidneys cope with the extra toxins generated by the extra protein (and, potentially, creatine) that you ordinarily may consume in weight gain diets. These wastes need to be dissolved in water. If the kidneys do not have enough water to handle the waste removal load, they can turn to the liver for help. This is not a good thing as one of the liver’s duties is [...]
The standard recommendation is that everyone should get 64 oz. of water a day. On a high protein diet and participating in an intense weight training program you should try and get even more. But if you’re currently running an anabolic steroids cycle (or if you’re planning to in the future), a good goal to aim for is one eight-ounce glass of water for every 10-12.5 lbs. of bodyweight. So, [...]
What about the Bowflex? Well, on some exercises, machines like the Bowflex somewhat solve the problem of recruiting stabilizer muscles by using cable-systems to simulate free weight exercises. This is an improvement but there is still a problem with workout machines of this sort that rely on rods and bands for resistance… The resistance provided varies depending on the position of the exercise. The greater a rod is bent or [...]
Cortisol is a steroid hormone that is actually very dangerous for aspiring bodybuilders and gym jocks… it can really fuck with your muscle building goals if not addressed properly. In fact, cortisol is termed catabolic as it has the opposite effect to testosterone, insulin and growth hormone in that IT BREAKS DOWN MUSCLE TISSUE! Cortisol, which is naturally released by the adrenal glands under conditions of high mental and physical [...]
