Six “Little-Known” Muscle Building Tips Part 2

July 13th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

So you think you have heard everything there is to know about muscle building? If you have read everything, tried everything and heard everything about muscle building but still resemble the silouette of a Calvin Klien model instead of a buff fitness model than I promise these next three ‘little-known’ muscle building tips will accelerate your muscle gains immediately!

4. Never Train More Than 2 Days Consecqutively

But the bodybuilding magazines say to split up my program into 5 seperate days… Yes, I am more than familiar. I call these 5 day splits ‘drug programs.’ They treat your body simply as a ‘muscular system’ and neglect the other systems such as your central nervous system, hormonal system and immune system. Each of these systems have a unique part in muscle growth. Not to mention that these ‘drug programs’ only work if coupled with a few thousand dollars a month on drugs.

Just because you trained your chest on Monday does not mean your immune system, or hormonal system or central nervous system has FULLY recovered. What happens when you return to the gyn NOT FULLY recovered? Will you be able to lift more weight?

If you are not able to lift more weight than guess what happens to your level of fitness? It certainly will not go up because you will be depleting your energy reserves further into a deep, dark hole called ‘over-training.’ If you can not lift more weight or ‘out-do’ yourself from your previous workout than how do you expect to create any NEW muscle? It is literally impossible. Taking a full rest day every two days will minimize the chance of overtraining and ensure your energy reserves are replenished.

5. Go Home If You Are Not Stronger Than Last Workout

Multiple choice question:

Q. You train your chest on Monday and you averaged 4 sets of 8 with 225 pounds on bench press. This workout would be considered a personal best. Your following chest workout, let’s say five days later, you come to the gym with great anticipation to out-do your last workout. To your disappointment you discover that you can barely do 4 sets of 8 with 185 pounds this week. What happened?

A. Your body had not fully compensated from the previous workout and required a longer recovery period.

B. Who cares! You toughed it out and made the most of the workout.

C . Complain to the gym owner that his weight plates are messed up and you want a refund on your gym membership.

If you picked A than say hurray and pat yourself on the back. The rational decision would be to admit the recovery error, assess the factors that could of resulted from not fully recovering (did you take all your supplements, did you sleep enought, did you follow your nutrition plan etc) and plan for success next time. This is the ‘trial and error’ process.

The emotional and irrational trainee would take option B and slug it out. Consider what is actually happening when you take this approach to your workouts:

1. You will be using weights within your threshold so your muscles will simply laugh back at you because there is no new unaccumstomed stress on your muscles. Remember, your muscles only grow if you give them a reason to.

2. You will be training in the hole and prolong the period of time that it takes to come out of the hole and supercompensate.

3. You will have no new muscle to work with because you have not fully recovered or grown bigger so it will be literally impossible to lift more weight or more reps.

4. You will be using your precious energy reserves, that could be going towards building muscle, instead to fueling an useless workout.

5. You will lose motivation and grow frusturated and confused because of your lack of progress.

This is a very tough and mature training decision one must face. After commencing a workout, if you discover after a few sets that you are on tract for a crappy worout than I would suggest to drop the workout and go home. Plan to come back the next day. If your goals are to simply train to train, than you will probably not follow this rule. However, if your goal is to get huge muscles and pack inches of new muscle onto your frame than this is a critical training decision.

To ensure your trip to the gym does not go in complete vain – have a flexibility session to make use of the time and than try and pick up the cute receptionist phone number on your way out!

6. Find a mentor

What does this have to do with muscle building? Everything – finding a mentor can make all the difference in how much muscle you build! If you plan on becoming successful in the gym than surround yourself with someone who has already walked the path. Would you agree that the quickets way to achieve success is to find somone who has gone before you and done what you want to do – and model them.

So why do millions of fitness enthusiasts wander aimlessly following generic advice in text books, magazines or websites? Although these methods of learning can provide a theoretical perspective, they are absent in accountablity, a formal system, time and financial comittment and assessment of performance.

A wise mentor will guide you step-by-step of the way with a formal system that includes a higher level of comittment and accountablity on your part. You will be required to fulfill tasks, change habits, meet deadlines and perform at a higher level than you would without a mentor.

The premise of having a mentor is that he has been there and done that. He has walked in your shoes and will give you the appropriate advice in a timely fashion. If you do not perform and follow the advice than you are wasting the mentor’s time and he will ‘fire’ you! If you do perform and follow his advice than you will be successful and build the muscle you deserve in less time!

Serioulsly consider hiring a fitness coach, a personal trainer or anybody who has done what you wish to do and be prepared to elate the same results!

How To Maximize Your Muscle Growth – Part 3

How to get Avoid Over Training and How to Maximize Your Muscle Building Program.
How am I able to Stop Over-training?

In order to elude over-training, you want to take a multi-facited approach. Determining the right coaching volume and intensity, eating the right foods, and getting the correct amount of rest and recovery must all be taken in to consideration.

Determining the right coaching volume can be troublesome, particularly when you are first starting out.

You need to use your own judgment in this case, based on your recovery strategies. Remember that the goal is that you improve every single workout, and if this isn’t taking place, you have to decrease the intensity of your workouts.

This is where many folks go screwy though . You start your workout and notice that you have not fully recovered.

Just turn around and go home! Your body is telling you that it wishes more rest, and you must listen to it!

There is no point in training at a lower intensity, further breaking down the muscle tissue.

Proper Nutrition

It helps regulate hormone levels, provides energy, and provides the raw building blocks that are used to create new tissue.

Here are some diet suggestions that will limit the possibility of over-training :

* don’t skip breakfast. Skipping breakfast is really catabolic, and can promote muscle loss.
If you are trying to build muscle mass, you have to continually feed your body quality foods so that it never has the chance catabolize muscle tissue.
* Unless you are trying to build muscle and lose fat, ensure you have eaten previous to your training session and are not hungry.
* Have the biggest meal of the day inside an hour after your workout. * Consider taking proved additions like creatine, and antioxidants to increase performance and fight free radicals.
* Eat every 2-3 hours to guarantee that your body remains in an anabolic state.
* Keep glycogen levels at full capacity to inhibit muscle tissue breakdown.

Rest & Recovery

Rest and recovery is crucial when it comes to avoiding over-training. Make sure that you get at least seven hours of sleep each night, and you are on a consistent schedule. As for recovery time, it’s important that you have days off between weight training workouts. Try to have one rest day between weight training workouts, and never train the same muscle groups on consecutive days.

How to Maximize Muscle Growth – Part 2

How To Avoid Over Training – The Secret To Maximize Your Muscle Building Program.
So you need to get the point by now… Over-training effects the complete body, and can seriously impact the results of your muscle building program.

Is it Worse to Over-Train With Cardio or Weight Training?

Any form of over-training is a bad thing, however, I have experienced both types of over-training and can truthfully say that over-training in the weight room is much worse, and lots more prevalent than over-training through heart training.

Here are just some of the explanations why :

* In order to grow, muscles must totally bounce back from their last workout, each workout. If you are over-training and work the muscles before they have absolutely recovered, you may break down the muscle tissue before it has rebuilt-making it impossible to build muscle!

* It can lead beginners down the inaccurate trail, maybe wasting cash on needless additions, or worse, steroids.

I personally believe that only competitive athletes such as swimmers, runners and bikers run a significant chance of reaching a state of cardiovascular over-training, since there are frequently coaching for 2 or more hours daily.

The bottom line is that it is much easier for the typical person to over-train while weight training than while cardiovascular training, and I think the effects can be more serious.

How do I Establish if I’m Over-training?

If you are losing interest in workouts, are having trouble sleeping, and feel feeble and irritable, you may be in a state of over-training and should take a week or more off.

If you are experiencing 2 or more of the symptoms revealed earlier in the article, this should raise a red flag.

Another variable you may use to determine if you are over-training is by tracking the performance of your workouts.

Has your physical performance improved compared to your last workout?

For example, we could say last workout you were able to perform eight pull-ups using your body-weight, but were only able to perform 6 pull-ups the following week. This suggests that you’ve not “out done” your previous workout, have not absolutely recovered, and so are likely over-training. You nave to re-asses your program and make alterations so that you see progress each workout.

How to Maximize Muscle Growth – Part 1

June 8th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

How to elude Over-training to Maximize Muscle Growth

Almost anybody that is picked up a set of weights has or will experience symptoms of over-training at 1 time in there muscle building program. Over-training can lead to heavy injury, protracted fatigue, and even muscle loss.

Over-training is very common amongst sportsmen and particularly muscle builders, since they figure that coaching as much as humanly possible is the quickest way to massive muscle gains.

Now this doesn’t suggest you do not have to put plenty of effort in to see some decent results…. Whether you are a bodybuilder, sportsman, or just someone that wants to add some additional mass to your frame, you want to train hard and be consistent-that’s a given. In order to get the most out of your genetics, you have to gradually overload the muscles by inflating the weight and / or power of each weight coaching workout.

And that is exactly what I should cover in this article.

The consequences of Over-Training on Bodybuilders

First, let’s take a look at some of the consequences of over-training and how one can stop over-training from occuring in the first place.

The results of Over-training on the Frightened System

Over-training effects both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems in the following negative ways:

* Higher resting heart rate
* Feeble appetite
* High blood pressure
* Weight loss
* Difficulty sleeping
* Increased metabolic rate
* Irritability
* Early onset of fatigue

The results of Over-training on Hormone Levels

Many studies have suggested that over-training adversely effects the levels of hormones, as well as the hormone reply in the body. Since hormones play such a vital role in the muscle building process, this may have a damaging effect on your coaching progress.

Over-training has been show to:

* Decrease testosterone levels
* Increase cortisol levels

The increase in cortisol levels along with the decrease in testosterone levels is a deadly combo, since this leads to protein tissue break down.

The results of Over-training on the Immune System

perhaps one of the most worrying side effects of over-training is it’s negative result on the immune system-you’re bodies first protection against harmful viruses and bacteria.

Over-training can seriously decrease the levels of antibodies and lymphocytes in your body, making you much more susceptible to illness. Simply put, this means that if you are in a state of over-training, you’re far rather more likely to become ill. Since you’ll have to skip workouts while you are sick, your muscle building progress will slow considerably.

The consequences of Over-training on the Metabolic System

* Chronically exhausted glycogen levels
* Slow, feeble muscle contractions
* Used creatine phosphate stores
* Excessive accumulation of lactic acid
* Extreme DOMS (delayed onset muscle tenderness )
* Tendon and connective tissue damage
