Muscle and Fitness -- The First Key To Achieving Your Goals


Lets discuss what I term as Muscle and Fitness -- The First Key.

Maximum Muscle Development with Chaos Training


Chaos is the scientific study of orderly disorder. It offers a way of seeing order and pattern where formerly only the random, the erratic, and the unpredictable (viz., the chaotic) had been observed. If a rock cliff is inspected, with its many jagged and irregular patterns splitting off in all directions, it can be concluded that the rock?s pattern appears the same whether looking at 100 square feet or 1-square inch of area. Hence, although the overall structure appears different, i.e. the divergences and measure of rock cut, the fragments that constitute the composition maintain close resemblance. Consequently, although chaotic in appearance, its nature is predictable and purposeful. Similarly, exercise can be very chaotic yet predictable, ever changing from one workout to the next but with direction... extreme variety coupled with standardization for purposes of sufficient measurement and comparison.

Ace Abs Without Crunches, Cradles, Or Sit-ups!


I know what many of you are thinking reading the title of this article. I also thought the same once. It cannot be done! Attaining a stronger, visible, set of abdominal muscles has always been a common goal in people?s fitness training programmes and yet, paradoxically, many (most) of these people never actually achieve this goal.

How to Gain Weight and Build More Muscle!


For many thin guys around the world, gaining weight without using illegal steroids has been a challenge. For thousands of lean young men, the dream is to gain weight, but no matter how much they eat they remain thin. Some people are naturally thin; that means their genetic makeup is in such a way that the body burns more calories than others. The very basic method of weight gain is to eat more calories than your body burns off. By providing the body with more calories, this balance can be altered and body mass can be increased. Weight training is of great importance in this context, which enables the body to absorb more nutrients from the food by increasing the level of certain hormones and increasing the muscle mass.

Before and After Photos in Fitness Magazines


Some supplement companies will go to any lengths to prove their products? effectiveness. But sometimes the evidence isn?t quite what it?s cracked up to be. Before and after photos are the most compelling means by which to convince a person of steroid-like gains.

What Is Strength Training?


Traditional strength training consists of performing one to three (or more) sets of exercises on a specific, isolated muscle group. One rep, or repetition, equals one complete movement of the exercise from start to finish. For example, for a bicep curl you might begin with your arm extended down by your side holding the weight, say a dumbbell, curl the weight upward to your shoulder by bending your elbow, and then lower the weight back to the starting position. That?s one rep. Do that 8-12 times and you?ve completed one set of bicep curls. Rest for 30 to 60 seconds to allow your muscle to recuperate and you?re ready for the next set.

Are You Over Training in the Gym?


Every set was taken to positive failure, with three or more forced reps on top of that and if that wasn't enough I would throw in a few negative reps to top it off. This type of training would leave me totally exhausted and render me sore for days after every session.
