How to Gain Weight

November 14th, 2008

Until I started following a routine to eat, my gains were minimal. Once I set my eating times to a specific time during the day along with a protein boost, I could see the gains immediately. This sample program is a quick way to get your protein WAY up and generally increase your food intake. But it doesn’t require the traditional sit down 6+ a day to eat 30 chicken breasts and spend all day cooking. I’ve got a full-time job at a corporate office. Cooking isn’t an option. Nor is eating 6+ times a day involving meals with Tupperware and the likes. I need food and I need it fast. Try this program on for size and notice the size you just might see.
Meal 1 - 7:00am
â?¢ 1 packet of a meal replacement with 16 ounces of skim milk
â?¢ 1 serving of whole grain cereal
â?¢ 1 cup of non/low-fat yogurt
â?¢ 1 piece of fruit
Meal 2 - 9:00am
â?¢ 1 serving of whey protein mixed in 10 ounces of water
â?¢ 1 large apple
Meal 3 -12:00pm
â?¢ 2 grilled chicken breasts
â?¢ 1 serving of brown rice
â?¢ 1 cup of low-fat yogurt
â?¢ 1 serving of whey protein
Meal 4 - 3:00pm
â?¢ 1 packet of a meal replacement with 16 ounces of water and 5-10 grams of L-Glutamine
â?¢ 1 large banana
â?¢ Pre-Workout
â?¢ 1 workout bar of your choice (preferably some carbs and 20+ grams of protein)
Meal 5 - 6:00pm (Post-workout)
â?¢ 1 serving of whey protein combined with 1 5gram serving of Creatine mixed in kool-aid. (This is an important meal and is designed for an insulin spike at just the right time to increase creatine and amino acid uptake by the muscle cells).
Meal 6 -7:00pm
â?¢ 8 to 10 ounces of a lean round or flank steak
â?¢ 1 serving of rice
â?¢ 1 medium baked potato
â?¢ 1 large green salad
Meal 7 - 10:00pm
â?¢ 1 packet of a meal replacement with 16 ounces of skim milk
â?¢ 1 large banana
â?¢ 3 to 5 grams of L-Glutamine
And that’s about it. Simple? You will be significantly increasing the protein uptake. Which means you should be increasing that water consumption as well. I’m not a fan of waking up at 1:00am to get more protein and therefore, I did not include anything beyond 10:00pm. I’ve noticed some significant gains from this program. My workouts were hardcore but my nutrition was lacking. By putting my eating times to a set schedule, I felt better during the day and was even more ready to tackle that workout later in the day.
Good luck,

The Various Categories Of Bodybuilding Supplements

November 8th, 2008

The new millenium has seen a dramatic increase in the usage of supplementation by bodybuilders and those wishing to gain weight, helping them to attain the desired physical effects in a more drastic way and at a faster rate. It has almost come to the point now where there are so many different kinds of supplements available that a gym junkies choice lies not in whether to use supplements but which supplements to use and which ones are really required for their own personal needs.

Basically there are a few categories of bodybuilding supplements. Each of these play a certain role in the process of breaking down then building up those muscle tissues for the attainment of that perfect physique. The main categories are as follows:

Weight gaining supplements

Weight gainers are usually comprised of protein and carbs to help you stack on quick mass, both muscle and fat. The more advanced kinds come with amino acids that perform certain functions too but for the most part these supplements are simple powders containing the ingredients we know we need. I mean let’s face it, if you aren’t taking in huge amounts of protein generally in the form of a protein shake you probably shouldn’t be at the gym. For this reason this category of supplements unlike the others are essential assuming you are looking only to lose fat. You have to use a protein based weight gaining supplement unless you are eating like a swedish mountain goat.

Creatine based supplements

Creatine now is on the border of reaching a level of acceptance where it can be said that if you are training for strength and size, you NEED to be taking it. Numerous studies have now proven the benefits to both lean muscle mass and during workout energy levels through creatine supplementation. As a result creatine has become its own market of supplements as it is able to be purchased with your protein and carb formulas, combined with various amino acid chains to enhance effectiveness, in liquid, caplet or powdered form. While not necessary it is becoming a staple of more serious athletes.

Fat burners

The name is basically self explanatory here. These supplements are used by bodybuilders through the cutting down phase to reduce body fat levels while attempting to maintain an optimum level of muscle. These supplements are generally targetted to more hardcore bodybuilders and athletes as let’s face it, there are more skinny people wanting to be big than big muscly guys who want to lose some fat and get ripped. These supplements again are not essential but come available in diverse natures with varying benefits.

Supplements X

I call them supplements X because I really have no way to describe what this last category of supplements do. They are very new to the market because they have been being developed over the last 8, years as documentation suggests. Basically they are supplements different from all above as they actually act on biochemical processes within the body to cause muscle gaining, recovery enhancing, fatigue reducing, workout power boosting effect at rapid speeds that are seemingly unavailable through every day supplements. They are generally more expensive and taken only in tablet form but some examples of which being Muscletech’s Gakic or Leukic. These are not steroids although are shown to be anabolic compounds and hence very powerful.

Do your research and learn what supplements are correct for your needs but no matter what make sure you take action. With new technological advancements constantly occuring the increases in performance through supplementation is an advantage you can’t afford to miss out on.

Xenical: the Fat Eliminator

November 8th, 2008

An obese knows what is beneath his skin providing him a bulky look. You have guessed it rightly it is only fat which is providing you an irregular body shape. Gradual supply of fat by your food to your body paves the path for bulkier look. To become slim and trim is a dream of every obese, because only an obese knows about the physical and psychological pain related to obesity. Slim and trim figure cannot be achieved until you either stop consuming fat rich food or start taking Xenical. Stopping to eat fat is rather difficult as temptation for delicious fried food is irresistible. Xenical is an easy way to come out of this problem, because after using Xenical you will not get any energy from fat even after its consumption.

There are basically six components of a balanced diet namely carbohydrate, fat, protein, vitamin, minerals and roughage. Carbohydrates and fats are the prime sources of energy to the body. Fat gives almost double calories than carbohydrate. Both fat and carbohydrate are digested inside the body to give energy. Many bile and pancreatic secretions accomplish the process of digestion. The process of digestion of Fat is a bit difficult special enzyme is needed for this purpose. Pancreas secretes special enzyme lipase to digest fat in the body. Xenical inhibits working of the lipase so that fat taken in meal comes out of your body with digestion. This can cut-short huge amount of calories and provides an opportunity to your metabolic system to burn fat accumulated in the body.

Xenical is a FDA approved drug which can help in weight loss without putting any restriction on your food habit. After using Xenical an obese can reduce significant weight even after just doing moderate exercising. Xenical reduces consumption of fat soluble vitamin A, D, E and K therefore; it must be taken with supplementary doses of vitamin pills. However, diet rich of green vegetables, milk and fruit can also substitute vitamin pills.

Xenical is an oral prescription drug which should be taken only on doctor’s advice. Generally, Xenical dosages are 120mg pills taken 2 hours before the meal. Xenical should be swallowed; and not be chewed with a full glass of water. Xenical is available through online order on better price. Moreover, online order for Xenical brings it at your door steps.

Some precautionary measures are advised while using Xenical, like driving should be avoided on the first use of it; pregnant and breast feeding woman should not use Xenical, children are not allowed to use Xenical. The drug can produce some mild side effects like anxiety, nausea, oily discharge and vaginal inflammation in women. These side effects are benign and these will disappear after body’s adjustment to the drug.

Obesity gives people many harmful diseases like heart failure, brain stroke, kidney failure, arthritis most of them are fatal. Xenical saves live from these dangerous diseases by elimination of extra fat from body that too without any harmful effect to the body.

Losing Weight the Natural and Most Effective Way

November 8th, 2008

Like many people around the world, you may have a problem with having too much weight. But did you know that when you attempt to lose weight in a healthy manner, in short, via educating yourself instead of trying some fad diet, you are actually trying to lessen the amount of body fat you have?

To lose weight fast and for good, you must boost your metabolism. This is considered the quickest way to lose weight, as is evidenced by the numerous bodybuilders who possess very lean bodies.

The problem with trying out a fad diet is that these do not hasten the metabolism. Rather, they force your metabolism to slow down which in turn stops you from losing weight. To push himself to lose more weight, a dieter may cut down some more on food consumption but this is fruitless.

Why? The net loss of protein further slows down your metabolism and your body will attempt to compensate for the lower calorie intake. Even trying to exercise at this point will not solve the problem and may even worsen it. Some people may even re-gain the weight they lost as their metabolism slows down.

The reason for this weight gain is the fact that the more protein you lose from muscle then more fluid is lost. The weight you actually lost during the first few weeks will be mostly water loss. Thus your body attempts to compensate for the loss of fluid by slowing down the metabolism.

The best and permanent way to lose weight is to boost your metabolism beyond the normal range.

Boosting your metabolism would make you lose weight at a slower, more gentle pace of one to two pounds every week while gaining water. It allows the body to hang on to its protein stores thus minimizing water loss.

In addition, should you lower your calorie intake to too low a level, you can lose valuable protein, even when exercising. This is because exercise requires the intake of extra carbohydrates for fuel. Without carbohydrates, the body has to rely on protein stores to change into carbohydrates.

An exerciser who is not in good shape will need more carbohydrates since he has an untrained cardiovascular system. This untrained cardiovascular system cannot provide the necessary oxygen to allow cells to convert fat into energy needed during exercise. Doing exercise even if you are unfit or overweight can boost your metabolism. However, it is necessary for such individuals to do the right exercise for their particular body type, without reducing calorie intake by too much or before it is required.

You must boost your metabolism first prior to reducing your calorie intake. This allows the body to prepare a major fat-burning energy metabolism that doesn’t involve so much protein metabolism.

By boosting your metabolism, you don’t need to exercise so much as often, which gives you more time to do other things. It is not necessary to put in as much effort into exercise then. It is less likely for you to regain the weight afterwards. With a fast metabolism, your diet need not be inflexible, allowing you to enjoy certain foods as well.

You don’t need to work at preparing low- or non-fat food for yourself so much, nor do you need to buy costly low-fat varieties of food. The last, but surely the best benefit, is that you have a higher percentage of fat loss compared to fluid loss.

How Building Muscle Helps You Lose Fat

November 8th, 2008

Want to lose some of that unwanted body fat? If so, you may want to start hitting the weights.

That’s because the more lean muscle tissue you have, the more calories you burn at rest, as well as when you’re active. The more muscle tissue you possess, the more energy your body will require to maintain that muscle.

It gets that needed energy from burning and utilizing calories. And again, the more calories you burn, the more likely fat loss to occur.

Muscle is a very metabolically active tissue. It takes a lot of work for your body to maintain it. Fat, on the other hand, takes no work to maintain. It just sits there, lumped together like, well, fat.

This is an important concept in fat loss because the more lean muscle tissue you can build, the more calories that will be burned off, without you having to do any extra work. Your muscle will burn off more calories 24/7 than if you didn’t have that extra lean muscle.

This makes the case for why weight training, also known as resistance training, is so important to include in any weight loss program.

So if you can add a couple pounds of lean muscle to your frame, you’re going to burn off more calories, even while sleeping, than if you didn’t have that extra muscle.

The more calories you burn off at rest, the more likely that the calories burned off during exercise will create a calorie deficit in your body. A calorie deficit is a must for weight loss to occur.

Weight gain occurs from consuming more calories than your body burns off during the day. Since there is no deficit of calories, your body does not have to dip into stored body fat to get energy. In fact, due to the surplus, it stores the extra calories as body fat.

If you create a calorie deficit, meaning, your body has used all of the energy from calories it has received from food and it still needs more (like to support muscle tissue) it is going to go after your fat stores to get that energy.

Fat is a highly condensed form of energy. So, when your body starts taking fat from fat stores to use as energy, that is how weight loss occurs.

Weight training may benefit any weight loss program, possibly more than any other component.

Weight training can be a future investment for permanent weight loss and weight maintenance because as you continue to lose stored body fat and gain lean muscle, your muscle will continue to aid in the calorie burning process.

As there becomes less stored body fat to use as energy, the muscle tissue will start to directly utilize the calories you consume on a daily basis.

Since there is now more muscle tissue than there is fat to utilize calories, chances of storing any excess calories as body fat is greatly reduced.

Resistance training may offer the most benefit of all to women past the age of menopause. It can help prevent or reverse the effects of osteoporosis by strengthening and maintaining bone density often lost by diet alone.

So how much resistance training is necessary for long-term weight loss to be successful and to increase your lean muscle and strength?

Not as much as you would probably think. In fact, any more weight/resistance training than 2 to 3 hours a week may be counterproductive.

The best results I have witnessed while in the personal training field come from 3 sessions a week with weights, less than an hour each session.

Most people like the Monday, Wednesday, Friday approach to weight training. This leaves Tuesday and Thursday for cardio, which should be done separately from weight training.

The key to proper weight training is to establish a good foundation in which to build upon, much like building a solid foundation for a house.

So hire a trainer or check out a good program online. You can find my proven muscle building and fat loss program below.

Bottom line, if you want to lose stubborn body fat, start building muscle and you’ll soon see the pounds disappear.

The Ugly Face of Quick Weight Loss

November 6th, 2008

The number of people who are becoming obeseespecially in the United Statesare increasing as years go by. Due to this trend, products and programs that offer weight loss solutions have emerged in the market today. If you visit supermarkets, drugstores, or even websites, you might notice that the most common weight loss products there are include diet pillsboth prescribed and non-prescribedand food or dietary supplements.

Since losing weight has become tiresome and frustrating to most people, they tend to resort to these products that can help them lose weight, safe, fast, and easy. But are these quick weight loss products effective to permanent and healthy weight loss?

WEIGHING DISADVANTAGES OVER ADVANTAGES

Believing that weight loss products today are safe to use because they are often based in natural and organic ingredients, most obese or morbidly obese people take these to lose weight quickly. Although using these products, as a means of losing weight quickly might be convenient, hassle-free, and easy, its effectivity and safety are not always determined or guaranteed.

According to experts, people who are thinking of having quick weight loss and fad diets should think twice before they try taking in any product or engaging into diets. This is because having quick weight loss can be harmful and can severely damage a person’s body. Aside from creating a “yo-yo syndrome” or inconstant weight losing patterns, engaging in quick weight loss may bring about greater health problems in the future.

Although quick weight loss diets can help you achieve you short-term goals, it cannot permanently help you achieve long-term goals of losing weight.

Based on numerous health researches, quick weight lossachieved through improper dietoveremphasizes a particular food type. By excluding a specific food group or a variety of foods, quick weight loss diets violate the primary rule of good nutritionthat is having balanced diet. Sticking to any quick weight loss diet that veers away from having a balanced diet can cause you nutritional deficiencies not to mention several physical discomforts and minor illnesses. Aside from violating the basic principle of good nutrition, quick weight loss diets also breaks the second significant rule, that is enjoyable eating.

Coupled with regular physical activities or exercises that improves cardiovascular health, there’s no way that you cannot lose weight in time.

Amin Acid Supplements

November 6th, 2008

What are Amino Acids?

Amino acids are organic compounds composed of one or more amino groups, and one or more acidic carboxyl groups, and are the basic building blocks of protein. There have been more than 100 amino acids found in living organisms. Only 20 amino acids are commonly found in animals, the others exist in other biological systems, primarily plants.

Amino Acids are used for growth, maintenance, and repair of cells in the body. Of the 20 amino acids found in animals, 12 of them can be synthesized by the body as needed, and these are referred to as nonessential amino acids. The remaining 8 amino acids, cannot be synthesized by the body, and therefore must be acquired from food or supplement, and these are referred to as essential amino acids.

The 20 amino acids are;

Essential: Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, and Valine.

Nonessential: Alanine, Arginine, Asparagine, Aspartate, Cysteine, Glutamate, Glutamine, Glycine, Histidine, Proline, Serine, and Tyrosine.

Why Supplement Amino Acids?

Arginine

Arginine is a nonessential amino acid, and it is responsible for the normal function of the pituitary glands. Arginine is used to compose the compound nitric oxide, which has many beneficial effects. Nitric oxide reduces blood vessel stiffness and increases blood flow, improving blood vessel function. Arginine supplementation is effective for lowering cholesterol, regulating blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, enhancing sexual feeling in both men and women, improving long term memory, and fighting infections.

BCAA’s

Branched chain amino acids or BCAA’s are the essential aminos leucine, isoleucine, and valine. BCAA’s are considered to be among the most beneficial and effective supplements in any sports nutrition program. They are needed for the maintenance of muscle tissue and appear to preserve muscle glycogen stores, and help prevent muscle protein breakdown during exercise. BCAA supplements may be used to prevent muscle loss at high altitudes, prolong endurance performance, and to provide the needed amino acids not provided by a vegetarian diet.

Carnitine

Carnitine is made in the body from essential amino acids, Lysine and Methionine, and is needed to release energy from fat. Carnitine is commonly used to promote growth and development, fat-burning, increasing energy, and improved resistance to muscle fatigue. Individuals, who supplement Carnitine while engaging in strenuous exercise routines, are less likely to experience muscle soreness.

Creatine

Creatine is made up of three amino acids - Arginine, Glycine and Methionine. Our liver combines these three amino acids to make creatine. 95% of the creatine in our bodies is stored in the muscles. Creatine provides instant additional energy to the muscles. Unlike the energy provided by carbohydrates or fats, which take some time to convert to useable energy, the energy for creatine can be converted almost instantaneously. Creatine also increases muscle volume, by pulling water into the muscle cells, and decreases muscle burn during exercise. Creatine also increases protein synthesis, meaning greater muscle gain.

GABA

GABA or gamma-amino butyric acid is a synthetic compound designed to lower fat levels and increase lean muscle tissues by stimulating the brain to secrete more human growth hormone. Studies have shown GABA to be effective stimulating the secretion of HGH, and has been clinically proven to help the pituitary gland secret HGH.

Glutamine

Glutamine is a nonessential amino acid. The body relies on glutamine as cellular fuel for the immune system. After intense work outs, glutamine levels in the body are reduced by as much as 50%. Glutamine supplementation can minimize the breakdown of muscle tissue and improve protein metabolism. Studies have shown that with as little as 2 grams of free-form L-glutamine supplement, growth-hormone levels can increase up to a 400%.

Lysine

Lysine is an essential amino acid. Lysine is important for proper growth and the production of carnitine, a nutrient responsible for converting fatty acids into energy and helping to lower cholesterol. Lysine helps the body absorb and conserve calcium and maintaining the correct nitrogen balance in the body and maintaining lean body mass. Lysine is useful for patients recovering from injuries and recovery after operations, and to help maintain healthy blood vessels. It also assists in fighting herpes and cold sores.

NAC

NAC or n-acetyl cysteine is an altered form of the amino acid cysteine. NAC may assist to break down mucus and used in the treatment of bronchitis - for this reason it is used as an inhalant in hospitals in the treatment of bronchitis. It assists the body in synthesizing glutathione and helps to protect the body from acetaminophen (the ingredient in Tylenol).

SAM-e

SAM-E is a derivative of the amino acid Methionine, and is used in the treatment of many conditions including depression, liver disease, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, schizophrenia, and migraine headaches. SAM-E is also commonly referred to as S-Adensyl Methionine, L-Methionine, Adomet, and Ademethionine. The liver produces as much as 8 grams of SAM-e a day. Liver disease, osteoarthritis, and extensive use of prescription, and over the counter medications, can inhibit the body’s production of SAM-e.

Tyrosine

Tyrosine is a nonessential amino acid. Tyrosine is needed to make epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine, all of which work to regulate mood. Deficiencies in tyrosine, therefore, have been associated with depression. Taken ahead of time, tyrosine may suppress typical bodily reactions and feelings from stressful situations like surgery, emotional upset, and sleep deprivation.

Losing Body Fat By Building Muscle

November 6th, 2008

Most people think of cardio when it comes to exercising to lose fat. That’s because running, biking, or any other form of intense aerobic exercise helps to burn calories, as well as raise the body’s metabolism.

But there are new studies out that show weight training to be better at raising your resting metabolic rate, which is the rate at which you burn calories at rest. This may mean that the best way to burn off unwanted fat is by building muscle in the gym.

There is one requirement for weight training to be effective at raising the metabolism. The weight lifting must be very intense to produce a drastic increase in resting metabolic rate.

Lifting light weights or exercising for too short a time can diminish the results. You need to do 3 to 4 sets per exercise and do an average of 6 to 8 reps for each.

This ensures that each major muscle group is trained intensely. In the studies, it was shown that the test subjects resting metabolic rate was still elevated, on average 21%, even 24 hours after the workout.

It appears weight training can release hormones like growth hormone and norepinephrine that assist in the fat burning process.

Also, removing the lactic acids that’s built up through heavy weight training also requires calorie expenditure.

Finally, the muscle building process of repairing damaged muscle tissue caused by weight lifting can also burn more calories.

Building muscle itself will increase resting metabolic rate, since muscle tissue burns far more calories at rest than fat.

So the more lean muscle mass you have, the higher the resting metabolism. That’s why building muscle through weight training is also a way to lose unwanted body fat.

The best way to lose fat is to combine cardio with weight training, to create a synergistic effect in which both work together to burn calories.

So if you’re currently trying to lose some fat, try to focus on building muscle as well, through weight training, so you can raise your metabolism and burn more calories at rest.

Building Muscle Mass Tips and Secrets

November 6th, 2008

Building muscles mass is an easy task to achieve as long as you are armed with the correct information and knowledge.

Building mass faster, which you thought is impossible, is never far from reality. There are too many trainers and bodybuilders that make the fatal mistake of working out too much. They think, the longer they workout the bigger muscle mass they get.

Even if you want to build up that muscle mass quickly, strength training and weight training for long hours is not that necessary. However, for those hard gainers who are in strength training programs, to gain muscle mass quickly cannot be that detrimental.

In fact, you should never train longer than an hour or half a day according to many bodybuilding experts. There are even instances that you may even lose too much weight doing long workouts and too much time performing weightlifting.

The correct way of gaining muscle mass should be a proper strength training program with three days a week sessions with at least an hour of weightlifting and bodybuilding exercises.

It is important to work on your muscles intensely and focus yourself on getting stronger. You should not be caught up on various bodybuilding programs that allow you to do long hours of working out and lifting. The risk of acquiring injuries is also at high risk.

There are many ways on how to gain muscle mass the proper way. We are not talking here with intensity strength training but a proper way of training to failure that is very efficient to building muscle mass.

Here are some suggested tips:

1. Using a bench press, continue your exercise against the immovable heavy weight for 20 to 30 seconds.

For most hard trainers, they do the wrong way of starting again with the rep and being stuck at the bottom. The weight is dropped against the safety pins.

2. Using the barbell curls, perform a grinding halt about two or three inches into the rep.

When the arms a slightly bent, you have realized that you cannot perform the rep but perform a pull on the bar as long as your strength can.

3. In a bodybuilding exercise, squatting is very effective. It is considered as the perfect exercise in building muscle mass.

While others do intense trainings and bodybuilding diet program for muscle building, an effective squat program can be an effective exercise for muscle building.

4. After your warm ups and performing your squat routines, you may lift weight that you normally perform.

Do 10 reps and rest for a while, you add another 20 reps to have a more efficient and intense weightlifting exercise.

5. Since squatting is the most challenging muscle building routine exercise, you need to maximize all the weight that you can handle.

The squat is also the toughest mental exercise after the physical training exercises that you perform. These muscle building tips are very effective ways to gain muscle mass quickly. They can be important factors to for your weight training program and eventually seeing your muscle mass develop and improve quickly.

Weight lifting is also even more effective for individuals who go through a weight loss program than those who are dieting and doing aerobic exercises.
