It’s probably happened to you. You’ve finally gotten into a steady routine at the gym, showing up like clockwork every evening at 5:25 p.m. It’s taken you about a month, but your squats have been feeling great, you’ve managed to go a whole week without getting sore, and you swear your shoulders are looking more toned.

Maybe you’re thinking you should just skip the gym tonight. After all, why are you worki...

As it is with everything in life, there are two ways to do things - do it as everyone else is doing it without questioning, or try to get the maximum output for the efforts you put in. When it comes to weight training, sadly most people don't have a clue about how to train.  #1 . The specific order in which you perform your exercises directly affects the order of muscles you fatigue, which greatly influences your gains from the whole ordeal. And if you want your overall size and power to grow, you’ll need to emphasize the big muscle groups. A good rule of thumb is to hit the smaller muscles only after you’ve finished with the heavy lifting and drained all energy from the big ones, so never place isolation movements which tire out the small muscles before compound exercises. #2. Always place weightlifting before cardio. If not, long cardio sessions will use up most of your strength and fatigue your muscles before you even touch a bar. Keep in mind that this rule also applies for th...

  In fact, I recommend that anyone wanting to lose body fat should incorporate resistance training into their regular routine.  The importance here is one of metabolism.  When you get metabolically active tissue (muscle) active on a regular basis, you will increase your metabolism, enhance the way your body utilizes calories and lose more fat.   This can have an impact by allowing your body to burn more calories even after you have stopped exercising, as your metabolism can be elevated for hours post-exercise.  In addition, elevating your lean mass (increasing muscle tissue through resistance training) will elevate your metabolism even when your body is at rest.  Resistance training is a must to improve fat loss success. What Is Resistance Training? Simply put, resistance training is any kind of movement of your muscles against an external resistance like free weights, weight machines, exercise bands, or even lifting rocks, that causes your muscles to ...

If you glance in the mirror after doing a set of push-ups or curling a set of weights, it might look like you managed to build muscle instantly. But that short-term pump is temporary, thanks to increased circulation in your muscles. Building permanent, measurable muscle gains takes a few weeks. Tip You may notice your weight-training exercises getting easier within a few weeks, thanks to neural adaptation. But real, long-term gains in muscle mass usually take about two months of consistent training. When you see someone pushing forward towards their goals, you are probably wondering how long it will take you to get to where you want to be. Of course, there is no single rule that applies to everyone, so if you want to know the answer to this question, you’ll have to dig deeper and explore a multitude of factors. First of all, you need to know what your goals are. If you want to lose weight, pack on lean muscle mass or completely change your body is a key determinant in how you want to...

There are some secrets in natural bodybuilding that easily get missed or even overlooked in the never ending bombardment of information through the net, magazines and gym gossip. So where do these gems really lie? The secrets for the most part, get missed or left out because they're obvious and in plain sight, as a natural bodybuilder, you need to come to grips with training smarter, harder and be more patient with yourself from that of a drug-induced bodybuilder.  Proper training When you are a beginner it’s natural to believe that more exercise will yield better or faster results. This is not true in bodybuilding. Over exercising results in exhaustion and injury to muscles. During training the muscles are worked out but they do not grow. They grow when you rest and so it’s important to give your muscles that resting time to grow and develop. Regular workouts For a complete bodybuilder it’s important to work the whole body out. Exercise on a daily basis will include...

Do you eat, eat and eat, but it never goes anywhere? Why can't you seem to put on muscle fast enough? If this sounds like you, then your body type is most likely an 'ectomorph'. Hallmarks of this physique are long thin limbs, narrow shoulders, fast metabolism, low body fat, and narrow hips and glutes. Very different than your naturally larger endomorph or mesomorph with a symmetrical physique. While others may envy your lightning-fast metabolism and slender frame, you may view your ectomorph 'blessing' as a curse! If you’ve failed every attempt to put on lean muscle, it’s time to try a different line of attack using a training and nutrition plan that is suited to your unique body shape.  Home > Build Muscle > How to build muscle for ectomorphs How to build muscle for ectomorphs What is an ectomorph? The ectomorph is one of the three most common body types (somatotypes), characterized by a “thin frame” and difficulty to gain muscle mass as well as fat. Peo...

Would you be rather be told wrong information that would make you happy rather than being told less pleasant information that would help you reach your goals?? of course you want to know the truth and the truth is that body building takes time. Don't expect to see amazing results after a month or even three months. Body building is not the type of sport that can help you change your body shape by exercising at the end of April in order to look good in summer. I know tens of people who come to the gym 2 month before the summer hoping to be in shape then leave disappointed at June when they found that nothing changed. What is the best way to build muscle? Incorporating strength training into a person’s workout is a great way to build muscle tone, strength, and overall fitness levels. Strength training involves using weights, although this does not have to mean dumbbells, squat racks, or machines.

A common knee injury is the meniscus tear. The meniscus is a rubbery, C-shaped disc that cushions your knee. The knee has two menisci, one on the outer edge of the knee and one on the inner edge. The menisci keeps your knees steady by balancing your weight. A torn meniscus can prevent your knee from working correctly. A tear is usually caused by twisting or turning quickly. Meniscus tears can occur when you lift something heavy or play sports. Unfortunately the older you get, your meniscus gets worn. This can make it tear easily. There are three types of meniscus tears: Minor tear, you may have slight pain and swelling. This usually goes in 2 or 3 weeks. Moderate tears can cause pain at the side or centre of your knee. Swelling gets worse over 2 or 3 days. This may make your knee feel stiff and limit how bending your knee, but walking is usually possible. You might feel a sharp pain when you twist your knee or squat. These symptoms may go away in 1 or 2 weeks but can com...

As a way to build up muscle mass, you are likely to subject the body to a few really high intensity fat burning wor...

For some guys, the answer to the exercise question will always be that they're looking to put on muscle. Whether you have a very specific goal, like getting into figure contests and bodybuilding, or you just want to fill out a t-shirt, you have to start somewhere, even if you've always struggled to add and keep weight onto a skinny frame in the past. But forget about your alleged high-revving metabolism, says Doug Kalman, PhD, R.D., co-founder of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN). “Most lean men who can’t gain muscle weight are simply eating and exercising the wrong way,” he says. Here’s your fix: Follow these 7 principles to pack on as much as a pound of muscle each week, especially if you're just starting to train in the weight room. Eat meat You need at least one gram of protein to gain one pound. This is the maximum amount your body can take in 24 hours, based on a study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology. Assuming you weigh 160 pounds...

Dumbbells are the most accessible free weights so they’re the first most people tend to try, either in the gym or as part of a home workout. They’re also among the most versatile weights you can use, and even if you usually gravitate towards the barbell to tackle big lifts like the back squat, deadlift and bench press, there are plenty of reasons to make sure you also find time for dumbbell exercises. “When using a barbell, your weaker side can get an easy ride,” says PT and Multipower ambassador Ant Nyman. “You can move the weight predominantly using your stronger side, meaning one side will always lag behind. Using dumbbells nullifies this problem because each side has to work individually, meaning you’ll develop strength and size evenly on both sides. “The unstable nature of holding dumbbells also ensures that your stabiliser muscles have to work hard to keep you steady while you perform the movement. Without realising it you’ll be strengthening your core and other stabiliser mus...

How Do You Actually Build Muscle? Before we discuss the nuts and bolts of how to build muscle, we need to run through the basics on muscle physiology so that we’re all on the same page. When someone lifts weights, they create trauma within the muscle fiber by generating micro tears. Once damage occurs, a cascade of biochemical signaling takes place and satellite cells become active. These cells actually bind to muscle cells in order to repair the damaged areas and help to synthesize new contractile components. When these components increase in cross sectional area, you experiences the phenomenon commonly known as muscular hypertrophy. Essentially, you must remember the goal of training is to stimulate protein synthesis but the key to building muscle is cellular repair, not damage. Now don't get me wrong, there is some truth to the saying, "stimulate, don't annihilate." But, to quote supergenius and performance specialist Alex Viada, "Adaptation requires pushing ...

There has been much debate about the exact role of overtraining and resistance exercise. Some, such as Mike Mentzer, thought that just about all bodybuilders were overtraining—and yet there were many scientists who overwhelmingly concluded that individuals could never reach a true overtraining state. Researchers were interested in a controlled study standardizing the diet and training with excessive training load and insufficient recovery time between bouts on muscle markers of anabolism and catabolism. Male rats were randomly assigned to either a trained or a sedentary group.   The parameters of this study were strictly controlled, with the subjects going through a standardized diet and working out excessively with heavier loads than normal, as well as shorter recovery times in between sets and muscle activity fluctuations between their anabolic and catabolic states. This study was performed on male rats, and they were assigned to a trained or a sedentary group, after which t...

the barbell shrug is one of the most commonly used exercises when people are looking to build the trapezius; whether it be from an aesthetic approach or from a functional strength approach. Being an isolation exercise, the shrug applies only the trapezius muscle and therefore is an extremely efficient exercise when looking to target just the trapezius. Using almost any equipment in the gym (Barbell, Dumbbell, Cable, Kettlebell, Weight Plate); the shrug is one of the most simplistic and easy exercises to perform. This is the traditional way of doing the shrug and it is an effective traps builder. Now, I’m going to pass on a tip that will make this exercise so much more effective. Before I give you the tip, the next time your looking at the muscle magazines, take a look at how some of those pro’s perform the shrug. This little movement is very subtle but it makes a world of difference in the results from the shrug exercise. What I’m talking about is making the shrug exercise a little ...

Building muscle primarily takes place in two places: the kitchen and the gym. If you’re a seasoned lifter, you know the importance of properly fueling your body in order to get results. You need to have high levels of protein intake, for example, and low levels of sugar and carbohydrates. As for the gym, your workouts should probably be built around the three primary lifts, with plenty of auxiliary exercises rotated in.  Pre-Workout Stretching: Pre-workout stretching exercises prepare the body for the workout it is about to do. The stretches are normally held for just 5 to 10 seconds. The reason of vivacious exercise is to boost movement of the joints through a particular range of motion. This surely helps to boost core temperature and blood flow in your body, and stir the central nervous system. Study has shown that energetic stretches particularly improve force production and fiery power. They can also help out to increase body consciousness, and help with solidity and balance...

Whether your goal is to get bigger and stronger, or improve power and explosiveness for sports, you want to see progress — and pronto. But building muscle efficiently requires more than just putting in time at the weight rack. Along with your strength training regimen, diet and lifestyle choices all play important roles. Before you even start thinking about how to build muscle, it’s instructive to know the primary factors that determine just how much of it you can gain. 3 Factors Affecting Muscle Growth These are the main criteria dictating increases in muscle size, or hypertrophy — and two of them are outside your control. Sex Simmer down — we’re talking gender. The male persuasion unsurprisingly has a decided advantage when it comes to building muscle. That’s due in large part to far greater levels of testosterone and a higher red blood cell count among men than women, who typically have to go to more extraordinary lengths to gain size. Genetics Similar to the way it governs how muc...
