The Formula For Bodybuilding Success
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010Achieving bodybuilding success has a different meaning for every person. For some bodybuilders success is measured by their ability to win bodybuilding competitions, while for others, bodybuilding success is simply losing a couple of inches off the waist, firming up the muscles and feeling more energetic and positive about life. My personal definition of bodybuilding success, for instance, is to achieve the most symmetrical, defined and balanced physique that I can while building and maintaining a high degree of muscle mass that looks good (which is a matter of personal opinion) on my 5′4″ frame.

10 Commandments for Avoiding Weight Room Injury
Monday, April 5th, 2010Top 10 Rules To Get The Most Out Of Your Bodybuilding Program…Safely!
Injuries are a bodybuilder’s worst enemy and need to be avoided at all cost. They not only cause pain and discomfort, but also can potentially take you out of the gym for a few days and impair your ability to perform certain exercises. In addition, once injured, it is very easy to get re-injured again on the same area. While the tips below may seem very simple and basic, even the most advanced of us tend to forget a few of these at one time or the other and that is when trouble can happen. (more…)
Weight Gain And Bulking Up Rules for the Natural Bodybuilder
Monday, April 5th, 2010Gain Weight And Muscle Mass As You Minimize Body Fat
While most of us who practice bodybuilding are trying to lose fat as we gain muscle, there are some people who are interested in just bulking up; which in simple terms means eating more and training heavier in order to gain muscle weight.
There could be many reasons for this:
1. A bodybuilder whose metabolism is so great that requires a plan just suited for exclusive muscle gain; the so called hardgainer.
2. A person who practices a sport, such as football, that may require a certain weight.
3. A bodybuilder who simply wants to go up a weight class (if he or she competes) or who simply wants to go on an exclusive muscle gain phase (like most bodybuilders do during Winter).
Like everything, there is a right way and a wrong way to do things.
Aerobic Exercise Basics – Aerobics for Fat Loss
Saturday, April 3rd, 2010Aerobic exercise such as walking, riding a stationary bike, or running is a good way to accelerate the fat burning process, as long as it is not overdone and as long as it is used only in addition to a good weight training program. It should never be used as a substitute for weight training since it does not permanently increases your metabolism and since it does not has the ability to re-shape your body.
Fat Burning Zone
In order for aerobic exercise to be effective, it needs to be performed within the fat burning zone. The fat burning zone is the zone at which you are doing enough work to burn fat. Your pulse (how fast your heart is beating per minute) determines this zone.
The fat burning zone formula is the following:
Which Bodybuilding Supplements You Need to Use and Why?
Saturday, April 3rd, 2010The Basics of Bodybuilding Supplements
When it comes to gaining lean muscle mass, most people think that bodybuilding supplements are the most important part of the equation. However, this could not be any further from the truth.
Supplements are just additions to an already good nutrition and training program. Nutrition and training are the most important components of a bodybuilding program, with rest and recovery next to them. Once all of those aspects of your program are maximized, then you can start thinking of adding bodybuilding supplements to your program.
Please understand that supplements do not make up for improper training, or lack thereof, or a low quality diet. Supplements only work when your diet and your training program are optimal.
