Fat Loss and Head-Turning Body Secrets…

Posted by muscled1 on 15th May 2008

…That You Must Understand If You Are Ever Going To Lose That Stubborn Body Fat & Get A NEW Killer Body With Tight Sexy Abs…

By Rob Poulos, Fat Loss & Fitness Expert & Author of “Fat Burning Furnace”

1 Long cardio or aerobic workouts several days a week ARE NOT the best way to burn fat. I’ll show you how to triple your fat loss by exercising in the complete OPPOSITE manner easily in only 15-26 minutes, 2-3 times per week…

2 You WON’T lose fat or look your best by just eating low carb or low fat diets. The truth is, fat loss comes down to how much you eat. I’ll show you an easy way to trick your body into eating less with delicious foods that satisfy your hunger cravings…

3 1000’s of crunches, sit ups, or those crappy infomercial abs gizmos WILL NOT burn your belly fat or give you those six pack abs. I’ll show you the fastest way to get a six pack is by using certain exercises that don’t actually target your abs at all…

4 Your heart rate SHOULD NOT be in the “fat burning zone” if you want to burn the most body fat in the least amount of time. I’ll show you the 20 minute workouts that will burn your stored fat and calories for up to 48 hours AFTER you’ve finished…

5 You DON’T need separate cardio AND strength training to lose the most fat. This keeps you working out 4-6 days a week…too much for busy people. I’ll show you how to get the best of both with 1 efficient fat burning workout…CLICK HERE

“Raw and uncut. That is how Jay Ferruggia brings it. If you’re looking for another ‘3 sets of 10, eat chicken breasts and yams, how-to-be-a-fitness-model’ program, then forget about getting it from Jay. From his politically-incorrect no-BS eating program, to his workout routines that he’s used with hundreds of athletes, powerlifters, and strongmen, Ferruggia truly is relentless when it comes to putting together the ultimate muscle building program. And I’m no armchair quarterback when it comes to Jay’s workout advice. Jay is the coach that finally got me to smarten up and train right. As a result, I’m stronger, less tired, less beat up between workouts, and my workouts are of the highest quality. This is the only muscle-building program out there that will give you the results you’ve been after forever, while making you laugh, and firing you up like never before, all at once. Get it, or get left behind again, just like you were last year.”

Body Building for the Real Man

Posted by muscled1 on 21st March 2008

Author: The Bodybuilding Trainer

Body building has always been thought of as a man’s sport. It’s true that most top-notch body builders are men. If you are a man interested in body building, you really have some advantages that can help you tone and sculpt a beautiful body.

The first thing you need to keep in mind is that you are naturally able to mold an amazing body. As a man, your body building goals are already enhanced because of the natural hormones that your body produces. Testosterone helps you have more effective workouts and also helps you work out longer. This gives you a bit of an edge over your female counterparts.

When you are undertaking a body building program, a real man does his research and knows what exercises will maximize his body mass. He then works hard to make sure that he can achieve the goals that he has set. Building muscle mass requires some hard work and the old phrase “no pain, no gain” takes on a whole new meaning for the real man who is interested in body building.

You need to focus mainly on an intense workout that will tone and sculpt the specific muscle groups that you need to work on. Focus on varied exercises that will provide a great workout for various muscles. You need to be sure that you aren’t neglecting any areas during your body building routine.

Nutrition is also a very important component of a body building routine for a real man. If you aren’t getting the nutrient you need, you won’t be doing yourself any favors. You must make sure that you have adequate protein as well as carbohydrates that provide you with energy to work as hard as you need to.

Getting plenty of rest is also very important. Your muscles grow while you’re sleeping. But your muscles also repair themselves at night from the damage you’ve done to them during the day. When you get an adequate amount of rest, you will be doing yourself a real favor when it comes to your body building routine.

Body building for the real man doesn’t always mean grunting and straining to lift big weights. What it does mean is that you are trying to sculpt your muscles so that they become everything you always dreamed they could be. Yes, body building is a difficult undertaking, but when you see the end results, you will be more than satisfied.

Building Massive Leg Muscles Without The Squat

Posted by muscled1 on 20th March 2008

Building Massive Leg Muscles Without The Squat

by Darren O Connell

The squat is considered the king of all exercises when it comes to building muscle. When done correctly with heavy weights and for the right amount of reps usually 8 to 12, it is the most effective growth producing exercise you can do, along with the dead lift and very heavy presses. If you are on a muscle-building routine that does not involve the squat then you are not really on a muscle-building routine. So is there anything else you can do if you just do not want to squat or you simply don’t like the exercise? Can you still build massive legs without the squat? Yes you can but you will still need to work as hard and sometimes even harder if you are not squatting. There is no getting around the hard work for massive legs.

If you want to avoid the squat and still build up those legs, here’s what you can do: Start doing giant sets as your leg routine using the leg press. Here’s a giant set leg routine:

Leg extensions           1 set 12 reps 1-minute rest
Leg Curl                      1 set 12 reps 1-minute rest
Standing Calf raises  1 set 12 reps 1-minute rest
Leg Press                    1 set 12 reps 5 minutes rest

Leg extensions           1 set 10 reps 1-minute rest
Leg Curl                      1 set 10 reps 1 minute rest
Standing Calf raises   1 set 10 reps 1-minute rest
Leg Press                     1 set 10 reps 5 minutes rest

Leg extensions            1 set 8 reps 1-minute rest
Leg Curl                       1 set 8 reps 1 minute rest
Standing Calf raises    1 set 8 reps 1-minute rest
Leg Press                     1 set 8 reps 5 minutes rest

Things to remember: Warm up sets for the above are not included. On your 12 rep sets you should be able to get 12 without much difficulty. On your 10 rep sets you should just about be able to get 10, maybe 11 if you wanted to. On your 8 rep sets you should only be able to get 8 reps. The Weight should be heavy enough to allow only 8 reps. These are the sets that will induce the most muscle growth if done correctly. You should not be able to get 9 and 10 reps, but on those 8 rep sets you should always be pushing to get as many reps as you can. If you find yourself able to get more than 8 reps then you need to increase the weight for next time and continue to push for more than 8 reps increasing the weight again until you absolutely cannot get more than 8 reps for those muscle building sets. You must keep in mind that it is the 8 rep sets that are the muscle builders and give an all out effort to get those 8 reps and to go beyond 8 to see if the weight is really heavy enough. If you do decide to attempt the above you should get the go ahead from your GP or Health Practitioner before doing so.

There are many reasons why some people avoid doing the squat when it comes to muscle building routines. Some people have lower back trouble, some people believe they are too tall for squats and some just don’t want to bother with the squat because it’s just too stressing for them. The Squat continues to reign as the king of all exercises for massive muscle building, but at least now you know that there is a way around it, and that is to pre-exhaust the thighs, hamstrings and calves before the mass building leg press. Just like the giant set routine above. Yes you can build Massive Legs without the Squat.
