The Ultimate Muscle Advantage

Posted by muscled1 on 7th August 2008

Hi, it’s “Skinny Vinny” here, and before I tell you how I got rid of this cursed nickname I suffered with through university, I have some questions for you:

* Do you know how to get rid of the body fat around your stomach while gaining muscle at the same time?

* Do you want to build total body, functional strength while gaining muscle and losing your pot belly?

* Do you have the right program, based on your age, to maintain all your muscle mass and strength while getting leaner?

* Have you ever been hurt or embarrassed in public by someone who made fun of how skinny you are?

* Are you frustrated because you eat “good foods” and you “eat healthy” but still can’t gain muscle mass or get rid of that ugly stomach fat?

* Have you ever felt fearful that everything you are doing in the gym is completely wrong and totally off track for your age, sex and goals?

* Have you been killing yourself looking for the perfect muscle-building formula and still have nothing to show for your efforts of learning all “this stuff?”

* Have you felt like just throwing in the towel and giving up because it seems like “NOTHING will work” and you should just accept it?

* Would you like to have a rock hard, muscular physique that does not look like you are “juicing’ but that still gets attention from the opposite sex, but you have no idea where to start?

* Do you feel like you are not my “ideal target audience” because you are over 40 or over 70, or you’re a female, and have been looking for info and plans for your goals?

* Are you convinced that you have the worst genetics in the world and your metabolism has no interest in helping you get into your favorite set of clothes?

If you answered “YES!” to any of these questions, then I have some important news for you…

You’re NOT alone. In fact, that list of questions was created during the days of “Skinny Vinny” and from my own muscle-building quest.

If you’re tired of being a struggling “hard gainer” and ready for NO-NONSENSE MUSCLE BUILDING, then what I’m about to tell you about could help you get a world-class body FAST.

Body Shaping: How to build a Nice Butt

Posted by muscled1 on 20th February 2008

by Scott Abbett
The late Vince Gironda, a legend in bodybuilding circles, had some eccentric opinions. It’s said that his gym in Studio City, California was devoid of free weight squat racks because he believed squatting exercises only created “turnip thighs” and a big butt. Well, what on earth is wrong with thighs that are big near the top (as long as it’s muscular size) and a booty that has a protruding contour? These are muscles as deserving of respect and attention as any other. And in the case of the gluteus maximus; it possesses the potential to carry more power and size than any other muscle in the body.

Why People Flex Muscles And Pose In Public Gyms - Isotension

Posted by muscled1 on 4th February 2008

by Chris Chew

When you are working out at the gym, did you notice that some people will pose and flex their muscles in front of a mirror after every set of exercise? Why are these people these narcissistic and shameless show offs, you must have wondered, didn’t you?

Let us pause for a moment and think again. Have you ever wondered why these show offs have bigger muscles and their overall muscle definition is more ripped than the other guys in the gym? There must be a reason for that don’t you think so? Is there something they knew about flexing their muscles and posing that you don’t? Yup. Spot on. They know what Isotension can do to their muscles.

What is isotension

Isotension, when incorporated into your weight lifting routine, can help you to get that ‘ripped defined musculature’ appearance with muscle cuts, clear vascularity and striations visible. Many professional bodybuilders swear that isotension is one of  the best way to increase your muscle hardness and definition.

What is isotension? Isotension is the contraction of muscles without using weights. You just pose and flex your muscles hard. For example, if you flex your abs hard and hold it in the flexed position, you are performing isotension exercise.

The best time to perform isotension exercises is during your workout sessions. When combined with high-intensity weight training, the results you get from isotension training can be astounding. Do it and see what happens to your body just in a few weeks time. You will see your muscles much more defined than could have imagined.

Why is isotension conditioning so effective for getting harder and ripped muscles?

This is because Isotension enhances muscular shape and separation. It is through hard contraction of muscles that forced increased blood flow into your muscles and forced excess water out resulting in a reduction of water retention in the muscles. That is why your muscles look hard and solid because of lesser water retention.

Isotension increases muscle surface vascularity by maintaining increased vascular blood pressure. Isotension also help to improve mind and muscle connection. It conditions your mind to exert maximum pressure into the contraction of a muscle resulting in the  development of mind and muscle connection. A good mind to muscle during weight training can help you to isolate your target muscles much more effectively and this is important in targeting the muscle being exercised.

Many people may feel uncomfortable posing and flexing their muscles in the gym when there are other people around. If you are one of them, then it is up to you to decide what do you want. Do you prefer to preserve to your modesty or use isotension to get that ripped defined body that you have always yearned for? The choice is yours.
