8 Reasons you are not losing weight

1. You are not doing a real exercise program Doing a couple of exercises without a plan or schedule won’t produce good results. For the best results, you should design a detailed workout plan. Join a gym or use a facility with enough equipment to work every angle of your body. 2. You are on a diet without exercising You must combine a good diet with exercise. A diet alone may help you lose weight, but eventually you will gain it back. Exercise helps tone your muscles and raises your metabolism… Continue

Workout Program

Click on the link below to view an excellent workout program. It is one that I used and helped me lose 20 pounds and become more shredded than I have ever been. To help with the process, superset the exercises with only 1 minute rest in between each set. Aim for around 12 to 15 reps per exercise. For size gains, add more weight and only do around 8 reps per set with 2 to 3 minutes rest in between each set. For a hardcore burn you can still superset your sets.… Continue

Squat

Hello everyone, I'm glad to be here with all you guys. I have a little problem though. I've been working out for a few years now but I've never had the chance to learn how to do a proper squat. Well at the gym today I took the dive and attempted to try it out. Well, it didn't quite work out. My shoulders felt real tight from holding the bar and I felt it more in my lower back than in my legs. If you guys have any suggestions let me know. Thanks. More pictures to come. TJ Continue

Dieting Essentials for Weight Gains

When it comes to weight gains in the form of muscle mass, a combination of diet and progressive resistance training is essential. Muscle tissue is made up of 70% water, 22% protein, and 8% fatty acids and glycogen. If all the extra calories consumed are used for muscle growth during weight training, then about 2,500 extra kilocalories are required for each 1-pound increase in lean tissue. This includes the energy needed for tissue absorption as well as energy expended during weight training. The… Continue

Making Your Decision

The hardest thing about getting in shape is simply making up your mind, and making your decision. Once you have made your decision and gotten yourself into a routine, the rest is easy, and you’ll be glad that you did. When you exercise, your body releases all kinds of chemicals. One of these chemicals is called endorphins. Endorphins are the “feel good” chemical produced in the brain to reduce pain. Endorphins are the reason you are in a good mood after a great workout, or after hearing a funny… Continue

Sufficient Protein

Protein is the most important thing for gaining muscle. It is made up of amino acids. I generally try to take in one gram of protein per pound of body fat. However, when choosing the right foods to eat make sure not to forget about how much fat and calories are in those foods. For example, a steak might be high in protein but it is also high in fat and calories. Fish, chicken, beans, nuts, and whole grains are some very good sources of protein. Fish also contains heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acid… Continue

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA's)

BCAA's are essential when it comes to gaining muscle. They are necessary for optimum nitrogen retention and protein synthesis. BCAA's make up 1/3 of muscle protein and exert an anticatabolic (breakdown of muscle tissue) effect by reducing the breakdown of muscle protein. The more you can keep your muscle in an anabolic (muscle growth) state and not in a catabolic (muscle breakdown) state the faster you will achieve your weight lifting goals. Continue
