No Nonsense Muscle Building Facts

Written by admin on Best of the Web – 5:35 pm -

Quick, what are the three most-cited obstacles to building the muscle mass that you want?

Not enough time to workout properly
Poor genetics and a physical inability to gain muscle
Not enough money for all of the outrageous recommended supplements

All of those can be overcome. Quite easily, in fact.

Scientific fact: you can get the exact same biochemical muscular changes from workouts that are 25 percent of the length of your current workouts. That's the same benefit in one-quarter time. You just need the right workout.

Hardgainers rejoice: everyone can pack on mass, it's just a question of how much mass. Regardless of genetics, you can pack on mass -- you just need the right workout.

Scientific fact: with the right workout, 90 percent of strength trainers don't need supplements.

So if you're looking to pack on mass quickly and you're pressed for time, even if you don't think that you can even build mass, there's hope.

There are countless programs available, but two stand head and shoulders above the rest. They're both reviewed here and they both have their strengths, but my favorite program is Vince Delmonte's No-Nonsense Muscle Building.

First, it's packed with SOLID information. My pet peeve is the latest hot workout trend pushed by folks who are clueless about safety and long-term gains. Vince knows his stuff, and his articles are published in respected men's health journals. It will take you a lot of time to get through all of the content that comes in this course. If you're an information consumer, you'll have everything you need. If you just want to get right to the workouts, they are very well laid out, so you should be up and running in no time.

Second, and most importantly, IT WORKS. But that should also serve as a warning to anyone who is not committed to building muscle: these methods require effort and intensity. Don't expect to just show up for workouts and get the benefits. You've got to focus and bring the intensity with each workout. Personally, I find it easy to workout hard because I know that in under 2 hours total per week, my strength workouts are done.

Another point to note: although the sales copy claims 90 minutes per week, expect at least 2 hours, or maybe even closer to 2 hours and 15 minutes. When I use a stopwatch, I find with the warm-up, cool down, and the increased sets in the more advanced workouts, each workout pushes 45 minutes. I also add a 10 to 15 minute circuit routine to the backend of this for an additional cardio kick.

Give this workout a shot. I'm 36 and have been strength training for 20 years, primarily to keep in shape, not to build mass. But even with that mindset, I dropped 2.2% body fat and gained 4 pounds of lean body mass (as measured by my home scale, so take that with a pinch of salt) in eight weeks. What's remarkable about that is that I didn't change by diet at all, and I actually decreased my total workout time.

This stuff works. So get the program, bring the intensity, and you will get results. Vince's No-Nonsense Muscle Building gets my highest marks. It's total quality, through-in-through.

How To Build Big Defined Calf Muscles? Your Calf Muscle Is Stubborn

Written by admin on September 25, 2008 – 6:19 pm -

Bodybuilders have always complained that the calf muscles are the hardest to build. I am sure you have seen many big guys in the gym with incredibly out of proportion small calf muscle.

Building big strong calf muscles not only will make you lower body more pleasing to the eye, it will also help tremendously in your sports and games giving you more power in your sprints and jumps. You calf muscles along with your quadriceps will also help to support your knee joints, reducing wear and tear.

The great Arnold Schwarzenegger once said, "Everyday you walk around. When you walk you are using your calves. You are pushing at least your body weight every time you take a step. So, when you go to the gym and work out your calves with light weight, are you really stressing your muscles?"

Think about it. Whenever you walk, jump or run, your calf muscles are pushing at least your body weight. That will mean that in order to build your calf muscles, you will have to lift heavy. Real heavy. So the kids gloves are off when you want to build a strong beautiful diamond shaped calves.

The major muscles on your calves are the soleus and the gastrocnemius muscles. The soleus muscles are the wide and flat muscle located on the tibia and the fibula. The gastrocnemius muscles are the large muscles located near the middle and goes to the top of the fibula and tibia.

The gastrocnemius muscle is made up of the medial head (inner calve) and the lateral head (outer calve) muscles.

So what are good calf muscles exercises? Here are 2 of the more common calf muscle exercises.

DONKEY CALF RAISES
One of Arnold's favorite calf muscle exercises is the Donkey Raise. He has 2 gym buddies sitting on his back whenever he does this exercise and you can imagine how big and heavy Arnold's gym buddies are.

Just bend over and support yourself on a bench, have your gym buddy, the heavier the better to sit on your back as if you are a donkey, then raise your heels off the floor, and pause at the top and squeeze hard for full muscle contraction, then return to your original position by lowering your heels almost touching the floor. That will be one rep. If your buddy is not heavy enough, he may carry some weight plates when sitting on your back.

If you do not have gym buddies to help you, there are donkey raise machines which you can use to build your calf muscles.

SEATED CALF RAISES
This exercise is commonly preformed using a machine where you sit, and a padded section is placed above your knees.

If your gym do not have seated calf raises machines, you can still perform this exercise by sitting on a bench and putting a weighted barbell on your thighs, then raise your heels off the floor, and pause at the top and squeeze hard for full muscle contraction, then return to the original position with the heels almost touching the floor. That will be one rep. If the barbell hurt your thighs, put a towel as a cushion on your thighs.

Now remember to use heavy weights. How many sets and reps? Well, those of you who are familiar with my training methods will know that I do not believe in a pre determined number of reps. Just perform the exercises until you just cannot lift any more even if I were to holler at you. That will be one set. As for number of sets, depending on your time and your split routine for the day, do 3-6 sets of calf muscle fatigued reps.
