Positive pressure can be a great ally in your quest to making awesome bodybuilding gains. Positive pressure can be created by giving yourself a clear deadline by when to achieve your bodybuilding goals. For instance, setting yourself a goal to lose 20 pounds of fat while maintaining, or even increasing, your muscle mass in the next twelve weeks is a great way to create positive pressure.
Why Is Applying Positive Pressure So Effective For Enhancing Bodybuilding Gains?
I am frequently asked what are some bodybuilding tips that I can share in order to accelerate musclebuilding and fat loss. As a result, I decided to put this small article with a few tips that bodybuilders from all levels can use to build muscle and lose fat:
1) Never sacrifice form to lift more weight. We are in the business of stimulating muscle so weights are just the tools we use to induce stimulation; we are not powerlifters. Also, focus on really squeezing the muscle you’re training. The way I see it, focusing and squeezing is much more important than the amount of weight used, and with that manner of execution you can’t use really heavy weights.
Fat loss is not rocket science. However, various infomercials will have you believe that losing body fat is some sort of occult science composed of many complex secretive principles that only a few enlightened ones have access to. You too, however, may have access to this information but only after you pay the three small installments of $49.95; according to the infomercial anyways.
If you are confused about how to lose body fat, please do not feel bad; many years ago I was in your shoes too. Because of that, I will share with you my 8 Fat Loss Directives. These directives are 8 simple rules that will guarantee that you start losing body fat now. In addition, I have included a Fat Burning Workout as well so that you can print it out and take it to the gym with you.
The 8 Fat Loss Prime Directives
Research indicates that when you don’t track your food intake you are very likely to overestimate or underestimate the food you eat in your bodybuilding diet. Even with someone like me who knows by heart most of the nutritional values of food, if I start estimating my food intake without recording it, eventually I reach a point when bodybuilding results stop to come. When that happens, I immediately start to track my food and find that I am either under eating or over eating.
These 3 foods in particular have been known to many dieters as being great to lose weight, when in fact they are not! A majority of the people are eating these 3 foods not knowing the potential harm they can be doing to their bodies and the destruction they can bring upon their fitness and weight loss goals!
Arguably the #1 weight loss question I get asked is, “How many calories should I eat to lose weight?” I simply tell them what my advanced accounting professor told me his favorite answer to every accounting question is: IT DEPENDS!
It all depends on what ratio of macronutrients you consume on a daily basis. Yes, it is that easy! Do not sit there and beat yourself on the head placing all of your diet endeavors on calorie counting. The truth of the matter is that macronutrient management is the key to making your fat extinct once and for all!
As you probably already know, losing body fat has to be one of the most challenging , if not most misunderstood, endeavors that any bodybuilding aficionado can undertake. Losing body fat is not rocket science, although in our society you’d think it was, with the legion of rip-off infomercial shape-up gizmos, the monthly “diet of the month” book releases, and the abundance of weight loss pills being pushed by pharmaceutical companies.
Putting on muscle is easy if you have the know-how and combine it with hard work. But even if you have the right training program and work hard, staying on course can be challenging at times. (more…)

Nothing brings the fitness community together like a bodybuilding competition. Besides providing an outlet for competition, bodybuilding contests serve an important social function. Because bodybuilding is an “individualist” sport, its aficionados have limited opportunities to come together en masse. Sure, you see your buddies in the gym, but there’s nothing like a good bodybuilding competition to bring together bodybuilders from far flung places. Bodybuilding shows are like big parties! (more…)
Bodybuilding has helped me through various aspects of my life. One area that bodybuilding has affected help change my life forever. I have always done pretty well in school, but I never did anything that was extraordinary. I simply did what was required to get by and never went out of my way as I never felt there was a need to so. However, after my first bodybuilding show, I possessed the 3-D’s that has helped bring my education to a higher level. After completing three months of strict dieting and intense training, I literally felt that I could accomplish anything. From the day after my show to where I currently stand, I have carried over the discipline I received from bodybuilding and applied it to my studies. The 3-D’s has helped me go from the average student to making all A’s with an occasional B every once in awhile. Now that you have heard what the 3-D’s have done for me, I will give you some basic rules that can be applied to ensure better results in the class room. (more…)
