So What Is The Routine Already?

Walk your way thin

Friday, November 21st, 2008

For some people this has worked really well and I have tried it although I need more than just a long walk to help me out. I tend to tire of it quickly because there really isn’t that many places where I live to keep me interested in walking. For those who live somewhere out in the country it is a perfect work out because you have great views and fresh air to help you breath. Some of course are less fortunate and have strip malls around them so it really isn’t’ that great of a walk but whatever you can do helps.

This is a great way to get in shape though because it tones your muscles and it is cardio so it helps you to burn more calories. It really isn’t that stressful a workout so you won’t wear yourself out too quickly and you can choose to walk as little or as much as you want. There is not really any instructor yelling in your ear pushing you to do one more mile or your a weakling. That is just too much to handle for some people and that is understandable not everyone is meant to have a personal trainer screaming in their ear. So for all those who are walking their way to fitness keep moving and never give up, the results are extremely worth it.

How to Loyally Exercise To Build Muscle

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

It can be really hard to make yourself go to the gym after a full 8 or 9 hours in the office. Don’t trick yourself into it, don’t guilt yourself into it, start exercising the smart way, and you’ll want to go to the gym every time. Take a note of what you like to do at the gym. Leg presses, arm curls, running? Make that your last exercise and treat yourself to it when you complete all the other aspects of your regime.

Are you the procrastination king or queen? The best way to end that vicious cycle is to stop everything in your life that is a distraction. Turn off your TV or disconnect the cable. Turn off Facebook and hide your cell phone. Unplug from the world and plug into fitness. When you read about how lack of exercise can cause any range of problems from osteoporosis to arthritis and heart disease, you realize how incredibly important it is to make the most of your day, and your life by proper exercise.

Muscle Building and Size

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

There’s a much seen BowFlex commercial that poses the question at the beginning “Does size matter?”, in regards to muscular development. This is the exact question that just about every hardgainer or naturally skinny bodybuilder loudly answer “Yes!”. It almost seems like no matter what these individuals try they just can’t seem to build muscle mass naturally and gain weight fast.

However, more than likely the problem lies in two things: they are using the wrong workout routine and are not eating correctly or enough. 99 percent of all progress in “bulking up” comes down to one of these two factors. Many are unknowingly performing routines that are truly designed to build strength and power but are pawned off as “mass building”, when in fact it isn’t. Or, because of the whole carb scare or fast food phobia, you may not be giving your body the amount of calories it needs to get big.

Are Fast Reps Good For Muscle Building Purposes?

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

Speeding up how fast you do your reps during muscle pumping sets are becoming a hot topic lately. For years it had been pretty much accepted and understood that you should do your reps at a “slow and controlled cadence”, some even suggesting to go really slow. But now many are beginning to change their tune, claiming that fast reps can actually be advantageous. So, what is it? In this new article I’ll discuss two of the points:

Do Faster Reps Build More Muscle Mass?

Training Splits For Building Muscle Mass

Friday, September 19th, 2008

A workout training split is when you take your entire body and divide it up into different training sessions. Some training splits are designed with muscle building and weight gain in mind, others for cardiovascular endurance, and others for a specific sport. There are tons of ways to create your workout program’s split. Some very popular ones are “whole body splits”, in which you basically, as the name implies, train the entire body in that session. Another well known split is the “upper body / lower body” split, which you train in one session the muscles in the upper body, and in another session the muscles in the lower body.

Some also love the “push / pull” split, where you work out muscles that are “pushing” muscles, such as the chest, triceps, and shoulders, and at another training session you would train the muscles involved in “pulling”, as is the case with your lats, biceps, and forearms. And on and on. Now, which workout is best to perform will depend on what you’re aiming for. In this case, if you’re reading my site, you’re mainly after straight up hypertrophy, aka gaining weight, size, and muscle building. You’ll have to take into account that you can’t group together too many muscles in one session since that would make it hard to get in the amount of volume, sets, reps, and time that it takes to properly stimulate a particular body part to grow in size.
