Bodybuilding Products That SHOULD Be Invented

Posted by muscled1 on 19th February 2008

Bodybuilding Products That SHOULD Be Invented
By Nick Nilsson

Somebody has yet to fill in these “important” gaps in the
bodybuilding product world. Enjoy a humorous look at products
that will probably never grace any store shelves but really
should.

If you’ve been training for any length of time, you know there are certain shortcomings in the products that are available at the moment. The following is a list of products that I think someone someone should invent. I think a person could make a million dollars with these ideas!

1. The Gasless Protein Shake

If you’re familiar with the gastric rumblings that occur soon after taking a big protein shake, you know how popular this item would be. It will also keep those pesky Environmental Protection Agency people off your back with their “industrial emissions violation” warnings.

2. Bench Press Air Bag Shirt

For the bouncing bencher…helps prevent rib crackage. The air bag inflates automatically when it detects terminal velocity on the bar.

3. The Sweat Alarm

Most useful in a commercial gym, simply attach one of these to each machine. When the electrodes detect sweat left on a machine after a person is done and that person starts to walk away, a loud alarm goes off and pepper sprays them.

4. Self-Cleaning Spit Mirror

This mirror is most useful in front of the squat rack. When a set is done, sensors determine the amount of spit that has appeared on the mirror then sends a squirt of cleaner and a squeegee down the surface.

5. Lister-prot-ine

A combination of Listerine mouth wash and protein powder, this supplement leaves your mouthy minty fresh instead of tasting like nasty rotten milk. Your friends and loved ones will thank you for it!

6. The Smart-A** Weight Belt For The Dumb-A** Trainer With Optional Shock Attachment

Simply put on this belt and sensors with pre-recorded messages tell you in no uncertain terms when you’re doing something stupid that you’re going to hurt yourself with. The optional shock attachment works like the invisible fence shock collar you put on a dog to keep in in the yard. When you break form, the belt tells you what it thinks of you then sends a sharp shock up your spine. You’ll never round your back over when doing squats again!

7. The Timer-Spray Fountain With Backwash Detector

Tired of people taking way too long at the water fountain when there’s a line? Tired of people backwashing into it? Fix that with the Timer-Spray Fountain with Backwash Detector. If a person takes too long or if the fountain detects backwash, a spray of water shoots out at the person to make it look like they wet their pants. Curbs annoying behavior very rapidly!

8. The OverFragranced/B.O. Biohazard Shower

This machine operates much like a metal detector/electronic sniffer. As people leave the changeroom, the machine determines whether they’re wearing too much cologne or perfume, if they’ve got rampant B.O. (or Beyond B.O.), or some eye-watering combination of both. Powerful jets of water immediately rinse the excess aroma away.

9. Barbell Curl Rack

This unique rack gives the barbell curlers an option instead of hogging the squat rack. Because it’s just too hard to pick up that dang heavy bar all the way from the floor…

10. Ego Alert Siren

This clip-on attachment for barbells (most useful in the bench press) automatically detects the speed of the bar on the way down. If the downward velocity exceeds a certain pre-set limit, the Ego Alert automatically goes off, alerting everyone in the immediate 10 square mile radius that you’re trying to use more weight than you should be. Also available: optional laugh track to discourage further Alerts.

11. Chicken Leg Filler Pants

Designed for those sporting the always trendy “riding-a-chicken” look, these pants for the “upper-body-only” trainer are stuffed with high-density foam padding to make your legs look proportioned to the rest of your body. Great for fending off attack dogs, too.

12. GPS Workout Enforcer

This gadget utilizes Global Positioning satellites and beacons attached to the equipment in your gym to track your location in the gym and remind you when you’ve been neglecting certain tiny, little nuisance bodyparts such as your entire lower body.

If you do happen to take any of the ideas and run with them, you’re certainly welcome to share the proceeds!

Meal Frequency and Performance

In my last column I discussed how eating more frequently could be better for weight loss. While this may be important to many of you, others may be more concerned with enhancing performance, strength gains, and gaining lean body mass. It is those of you for whom this article is geared towards. This week I’ll discuss why eating the right foods more frequently will undoubtedly make you bigger and stronger—and this isn’t some over hyped ad; it’s real life, based on science.

Makes Looking Great Naked Easier Than Ever…

Posted by muscled1 on 19th February 2008

I want to share an e-mail that I received from Ryan Lee, one of the creators of the new Prograde Lean Meal Replacement Drink, with all of you;

Dear Philip

I admit it, I’ve never been a big fan of meal replacement drinks.

Most of them are filled with too much sugar and not enough protein. Plus, to put it bluntly, most taste like classroom chalk.

So when we went to work on a new meal replacement drink over 9 months ago, we had some specific criteria our drink must meet:

-At least 30 grams of protein per serving (it has 35g)

-It must have enough calories to qualify as a true meal “replacement”, but not so many that you’ll gain weight (it has perfect 270 calories)

-Must have at least 5 grams of fiber (it has 8g)

-Must have less than 20g of sugar (it has only 13g)

-And most importantly, it must taste great (it rocks)

Let me tell you, creating a meal replacement drink from scratch was more of a challenge than any of us thought it would be.

Too much protein - and it tastes awful.

Too much iron - and it tastes metallic.

And we had to do all the nutrient blending, plus make it taste good without adding unnecessary sugars.

I now understand why so few companies create meal replacement drinks. It’s tough work and we almost gave up on the drink about 7 times.

But we didn’t give up. Quit is just not in my vocabulary.

So after 9 months and taste-tests that were through the roof at over a dozen health clubs, I am pleased to present for your meal-replacement pleaure:

Prograde LEAN

Stay strong,
Ryan

You Can Have A Six Pack Faster Than You Think…

Posted by muscled1 on 19th February 2008

With the right training and nutrition, you can have a six pack faster than you probably think… even if you have less-than average genetics and minimum time available.

From The Desk Of: Ray Burton
I.S.S.A. Certified Personal Trainer

Getting a flat stomach can be a lot quicker and easier than most people are going about it..

If you’d like to get a six pack while quickly losing fat over your whole body, using your body’s natural fat burning abilities to help you get a firmer, flatter stomach, then this will be some very interesting info to you!
Do You Know The Differance Between Intensity And Volume?

Endless hours of cardio or expensive abdominal equipment is not the answer to rapid fat loss leading to a flat stomach. When you train correctly, you see changes to your abs on a daily basis and these changes don’t take hours to create. Believe it or not, you can pump out a highly effective workout in under 20 minutes…

This has been scientifically tested and proven both in the lab and with my personal training clients. You can experience the amazing feeling of lifting up your shirt and flashing a six pack too, because everything I know about getting a six pack fast, I have translated into a simple, practical, step by step program for developing strong, rock-hard set of abdominals… that can be used by anyone…anywhere!
