Matters that are quite serious for example bodybuilding need to be approached from a careful angle. It is wise to know where your information is coming from. Some of the more common pieces of advice that are put on the net are written by inexperienced teenagers whose bodies are spewing testosterone and in some cases they may have already gotten started on steroids and other muscle-building drugs. Most of this information is inaccurate and misleading. In addition the information may just be based on gym myths and can therefore be quite misconstrued. It is possible for everyone to make strides in muscle gain. The problem is that the information being given out makes assumptions that only seem to suit certain body types. Everyone is different. It therefore follows that body development will be different. There are training methods that provide really discouraging ...

This is a question which has troubled a lot of skinny people who are out there. Many people believe that losing weight is hard, well think gain because trying to gain weight is even harder. I say this because I used to be a skinny and all my efforts to gain weight were fruitless since I was what the fitness industry refers to as a hard gainer. I was willing to try out almost anything just to add a few pounds, but I finally hit jack pot when I went to a very informative seminar which actually changed my life. The information I got out of that seminar was quite powerful and that is what I am hoping to share with you in this article. My main drive in writing this article is because I know the feeling you get when ...

Open up any bodybuilding magazine (any publisher from any year), and you’ll very likely see two things. First, you’ll see a lot of advertisements for protein supplements and weight gain/loss supplements. Second, you’ll see a lot of ghostwritten articles by pro bodybuilders in which they espouse their own use of 400+ grams of protein daily. You’ll see some training articles and show coverage as well. But the importance of protein will be the number one focus in every single issue, from 1950 until 2050. It’s true that protein is important. You need it to make gains in muscle mass. You stimulate the muscle fibers with training, and then your blood delivers blood rich in amino acids to these muscle fibers, which allows them to grow while you sleep.

Caffeine is a drug that is used daily by 90% of Americans. The advantages for most include alertness and increased energy. It has been tested for decades, and aside from obvious abuse at levels of greater than one gram per day, caffeine is relatively safe for most of the population. But there are some side effects which might affect bodybuilders more than others, both negatively and positively. Fat Burning Caffeine is an excellent fat-burner. Many bodybuilders stack caffeine with ephedra and aspirin for the very effective ECA stack. Even alone, caffeine is very effective at leading to increased oxidation and a desired thermogenic effect. Use 200 mg, twice per day, to assist with diet and cardio for losing body fat. Limit weight gain This can be a double-edged sword for bodybuilders.

Q:  Is there any study out there that looks at the relationship between regaining body fat from specific diets? I'm on a ketogenic diet and everyone says I'm setting myself up for a massive weight gain if I ever eat normally again. I don't want to risk packing on fat with this sort of diet if I don't eat perfectly in the future. A: There are non-scientific studies that exist on that subject, but most science would focus on the effects while in a ketogenic state, not what happens after. I will tell you that you definitely run the risk of regaining weight rapidly after ceasing a ketogenic diet, but that's only if you totally suspend the diet and go back to old ways of eating abruptly. I have very successfully transitioned - via phases - from a total zero ...
