Have you found an effective way to develop those muscles and keep them as is? It’s up to you to decide to go straight to the gym and engage yourself in a weight lifting program available for you. You may definitely get yourself hurt in the end. You will need to pay so much more or might end up giving more of your time for it if you finally decided to get help from that gym’s personal trainers. They need to attend to a number of people who paid for the same kind of services as you do. Reality is, not all personal trainers you can find in a gym are equal since they can’t possess the same level of competency and skills needed to match your time and effort. Having sufficient or some background knowledge in muscle building can at least help you evaluate whether or not you’re going to take the advice of your trainer. After all, it’s your body and if you’re going to change it, you need to invest knowledge in making sure it’s going to go through those changes safely. You can do that through Muscle Gaining Secrets by Jason Ferruggia.

Muscle Gaining Secrets provides you the best kept coaching techniques by Jason Ferruggia, the country’s prime strength training coach. He has been in the industry for quite some time now and while he is running his very own gym, he manages to write content at the same time for some well known publications such as MMA Sports Mag, Muscle & Fitness, Men’s Health and Men’s Fitness. Jason considers himself as a hard-gainer, so if you regard yourself as such then you have him on your side, too. The No Nonsense Muscle Building Review will give you more details about Jason’s bio.

When you finally decide to take on a muscle building program for you, one advantage you get is that they give you a concrete diet plan that you should follow. Often you will find them giving you more than just cover the reps and the sets of your strength training, they will also tell you a word about the number of rest days you have to take, how many hours of sleep you must get, supplements you should have and give you a solid meal plan to follow. You get yourself a chance to be abreast of the latest updates in strength training in their newsletters. Choosing the top selling books like No Nonsense Muscle Building by Vince Delmonte will give you expert advice from the writers of the books itself. This one sounds good for one-on-one training.

Why It’s Important to Have Solar Power Training

Article by James Copper

Electricity and utility costs have almost gotten the better of all of us. Each month it seems as though the rates are going higher and higher. If our satellite bill is too high, we can make adjustments to our package and get a smaller one that’s more affordable. If we’re using too much fuel in our car, we can car pool or consolidate our trips to save gas. Our utility bills can only be cut back so much, especially when they keep going up. A solution that’s been very helpful and economical for many is switching to solar power.

Solar power comes from the power we get from the sun, which is used to give us energy. The energy that the entire world needs in an year is emitted from the sun in one day so you can see there’s definitely enough to go around. It’s just a matter of putting it to good use for you. If you’re unfamiliar with solar energy and how it works, you may know someone that has had some solar power training. You can also choose to take solar power training yourself so you can learn ways to implement it into your home to help save on energy costs.

Solar cells, also known as photovoltaic cells, are used to product solar power from the sun. You put the solar cells some place where they’ll be underneath direct sunlight. Each time the sun’s rays hit the photovoltaic cells; there is a chemical reaction that causes an electric current, which is turned into electricity. If you have enough solar cells in your home and a lot of sunny days, you’ll have enough electricity stored up to get your through night time and cloudy days when there is not sunlight. Solar power training will teach you everything you need to know to properly install solar cells in your home as well as how to get the most benefits from them.

Solar power training will also teach you about the different types solar power; active solar and passive solar. The difference between the two methods is that only active solar involves the installation of solar panels or solar cells to convert the sun’s rays into electricity. When it’s first converted to electricity, it’s DC (direct current) and then it’s later transformed to AC (alternate current). Passive solar does not involve solar panels. Passive solar is obtained, for instance, by building a home with all the windows facing the direct sunlight or using tanks or other structures to capture the sunlight. Passive solar is often used to provide homes with heat and hot water.

Although the initial cost of switching to solar energy may be expensive, if you have solar power training, you may be able to install as much of the solar system as possible into your home and save on labor costs. The cost of the solar panels as well as the batteries is expensive; however, the savings you’ll see over time will make them more than pay for themselves. Consider checking into some solar power training courses in your area and learn all you can about this new method for our utilities.

This video shows a sample of the power training exercises that we use to help develop power in our athletes.

Sprint Training And it’s Main Benefits

Article by James Davis

A really good way to start and improve your physical conditioning is sprint training, it really is one of the better methods out there.It is also one of the better methods because it also takes up less time than many other forms of cardio training.

The great thing about sprint training is the EPOC effect you receive after it or excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, this is basically where your body even after training will still continue to expend many hundreds of calories trying to get the body back to its natural state. So make sure you include some serious hill training to your workout to get the full benefits of EPOC.

Another good benefit of this is that your body will up regulate it’s abilities to produce enzymes that get to work at increasing the storage capacity of the muscle for energy substrates such as ATP.The good side effect to all this is it will allow you to work out even harder and for longer next time without the fatigue kicking in to early, also understand that although this is occurring you are still working on the aerobic side of things, so although very intense, you are still utilizing oxygen, if you weren’t you would only be able to last around 10 to 20 seconds no matter how well conditioned you have become.

Another great benefit you will get with your sprint training is it’s effect on phosphate metabolism. Phosphate creatine stores comprise a major component of the body fuel source for all muscular activity, so obviously anything you can do to increase this will be extremely beneficial.

Myokinase is an enzyme that is responsible for resynthesizing the energy from phosphate creatine, and with sprint training, it will increase its concentration within the muscle tissue by up to 20%. The next adaptation that will occur after you’ve been doing sprint training for a period of time is that of glycolysis. This is the primary form of metabolism used during a 10 second all out sprint and contributes between 55 and 75% towards energy production during exercise.

Phosphofructokinase (PFK), an enzyme that catalyses the phosphorylation of the glycolytic intermediate fructose 6-phosphate), has also been shown to increase when sprint training is performed, along with the enzymes of lactate dehydrogenase and glycogen phosphorylase (other enzymes responsible for the glycolysis system).

Intramuscular Buffering Capacity

Finally, the last adaptation that’s seen with sprint training is the buffering capacity of the muscle. During glycoglysis, various byproducts are created such as lactic acid, and when these accumulate, it causes the extreme feelings of fatigue in the muscle tissues.

This then forces you to stop exercising as the fatigue sets in and often will be the end of your workout.

Overtime, sprint training will increase your ability to buffer these byproducts so that you can then workout for a longer period of time while maintaining that intensity.

So, next time you’re debating about whether to do a sprint training session or a moderate paced cardio session lasting for 40 minutes or so, opt for the sprint session.

The benefits you’ll receive are far more numerous and fat loss will be kicked up a notch as an added benefit. Keep in mind that for these type of benefits to occur, you want your sprints to last somewhere in the neighbourhood of 20 seconds to 40 seconds, with a work to rest ration of about 1:2. Repeat this process a total of 6 to 8 times and begin and end with a five minute warm-up and cool-down.

My Body is Not Who I am… It’s Just Where I Iive.

Article by Craig Harper

It seems to me that many of us don’t really know who we are.We have our very own personal identity crisis.

We spend our very busy lives doing stuff, achieving stuff…. but still not really knowing who we are.

What’s you’re identity?

Who are you really?

If we take away all your stuff… then… who are you?Yeh, we know what you do for a job, we know what you look like, we know what you drive, where you live and what you’ve done… but who are you beyond all that?

Are you the sum of your achievements and possessions… or are you something much greater?What are you known for?What will you be remembered for?Have you thought about it?Do you care?

How do others see you?

When people (who perhaps don’t know you intimately) refer to you, what’s your label?

“Oh, you know Todd; he’s the surfie guy with the Brad Pitt body and the killer blue eyes.”

“Sure you know Sarah; fifty-ish, heaps of money, owns that kid’s clothing label, drives a Porsche…. blonde hair”

“Simon?… oh yeh, he’s that arrogant, how-good-am-I bodybuilder with the gigantic arms, tiny head, bad skin, horrible breath and no self-esteem.”

And waddabout your family and friends; what kind of identity do you have with them?

“Yeh, dad’s kinda… well.. I guess he does love us….I think… he’s pretty moody though… but it’s probably because he’s tired, being the workaholic that he is… and anyway… as he always says; he’s doing it all for us kids….. funny, doesn’t feel like it sometimes”

For some people, their identity is their body (a body builder maybe, a model perhaps), or part thereof (the flat-chested girl who ‘buys’ herself some gigantic breasts).I see this (my-body-is-who-I-am syndrome) a lot in my work, and as ironic as it may seem, I actually spend most of my time helping people develop anything but their body.

When our total identity (who we are) is something external (to our mind, our spirit, our nature – the essence of who we really are), then we set ourselves up for pain, disappointment and anxiety.

As long as our identity is rooted in something which can be taken from us (looks, jobs, money, toys), we’ll always be insecure.

For some people their identity is their career… “did I mention that I’m a CEO now?”Their car… “wanna go for a spin in my….?”Their house….”yeh, I probably don’t need the thirteen bedrooms but…”Their money… “got most of my money tied up in property, shares and a few others strategic investments…”Their academic achievements… “yeh, just finished my Phd”.. (great achievement but it’s not who you are… it’s a thing you did!).Their fearsome reputation… “I’ve got seventeen black belts, I bench press a thousand pounds and I eat live chickens for breakfast”(and I’m an insecure idiot who desperately needs your approval).

Whatever their identity is….it’s the thing which gives them (a level of) confidence and self esteem (in front of others anyway)… makes them feel more secure, safer, happier, better about themselves (for a while).

Earlier this week I went to a funeral to celebrate the life of an amazing woman.And while she had done much in her life (practical stuff, career stuff, sporting stuff), her children (all seven of them) got up and spoke about who their mother really was.

Her identity.

And this wasn’t just some feel-good, emotional fluff… no, they painted an accurate picture of who this woman was.She wasn’t a job, or a possession, or a body, or an achievement… although she had ‘achieved’ much.No, she was a selfless, loving, caring, generous, passionate, strong individual who influenced and affected many… and left the world (or her part of it) a better place.

As I sat in that service with tears rolling down my cheeks (there goes my wanna-be-alpha-male identity), I thought to myself… I hope there are a few people present saying similar things when I’m done down here on the big blue ball.

It’s great that we set goals and it’s great to strive to be a high achiever (I do).And there’s also absolutely nothing wrong with being wealthy, having a great body, an incredible career, a great home, practical goals (financial, physical, competitive, career) and even a few toys…

… as long as what we do, what we own… or what we look like… hasn’t become who we are.

And as long as we are not the sum of our achievements and possessions but in fact, something much greater.

Who are you?

A Good Bodybuilding Training Program: It’s All a Question of Balancing Your Methods

Article by Karan Naidoo

Bodybuilding training provides two ways to build your body strength, muscle definition and an attractive, fit look. One training technique increases your muscle mass, while another method strengthens the muscles you have, as well as increasing muscle definition.

A third way available in your bodybuilding regimen combines the efforts of the first two, increased mass and definition. By far, most body builders prefer mass and definition, although mass is generally not what the female bodybuilder wants. Bodybuilder competitions always assess both muscle mass and muscle definition, and most people find mass, with definition most aesthetic.

If you’ve new to the bodybuilding training programs, you’re in the perfect position to start a balanced weight training course of mass building, followed by definition building, followed by mass building, and so on. Intentionally shifting between the two training regimens is the trick to that sought after balanced look that wins, both in competitions and your general physical appearance in public settings.

When you begin training, keep a careful record of your body measurements, as tracking this is important in optimizing your results.

When you first start adding mass, you want to keep piling it on until you’ve got the body of the Hulk. Ironically, you gain muscle mass by breaking down muscles! This means incrementally lifting heavier weights after your muscles have healed from the tearing that the last bodybuilding session caused.

You have to give a day of rest between each mass building session, to give the muscles time to heal. If you’re lifting every day but the muscles aren’t getting any bigger, this is why. Tear down that muscle as well as you can one day, rest the next day, and go to your bodybuilding training session the day after your rest. Three times a week of heavy lifting will increase your muscle mass steadily.

Now, when you’ve added a sixth of an inch, or, you’ve been bodybuilding training for muscle mass for three months, stop increasing the amount of weight you’re lifting, but do start to increase your repetitions. Continue with this regimen for a third of the amount of time that you spent building muscle mass. For example, if you spent six weeks in mass building, spend the next two on definition.

Bodybuilding training is taken up for many reasons, including increasing the attractiveness of your body, as well as for health purposes. Most people can use a little more muscle mass, so whatever your reason for bodybuilding training, when you start, start by putting on a little mass and increasing your strength and stamina. It’ll give you the energy you need to get through the day painlessly, and the ease with which you can do muscular activity will make your efforts enjoyable. Women, of course, may want to watch carefully how much mass they’re putting on. Set your goal and don’t exceed it.

Men, for whatever reason they take up body building, tend not to know when enough mass has been added and the time for definition has arrived. It’s somewhat like an addiction. You simply need to discipline yourself and force yourself to give some time to the important task of definition. Too much mass, and your muscles just look fat! Remember, definition of that mass is what your bodybuilding training is all about.
