Protein Powder for the Body
March 15th 2010 14:28
I talked to a friend of mine who was contemplating increasing her protein in her diet, heading for a strictly high protein diet. She’s not a bodybuilder but wants to change the way her body looks.
She asked one of the young employees at the Racquet Club how much protein he takes a day for his sport. He told her 200 grams a day. This shocked my friend for she could not fathom how to get that much protein her body.
Obviously, protein is a requirement for a bodybuilder. 200 grams a day vastly exceeds those of the sedentary individuals. The reason being is that bodybuilders are relentlessly taxing their muscles by diet and training.
Hence, they must be aware of proper nutritional balance for recovery and growth. Protein Powder does that easily. It’s important to use strictly protein powder with no fillers, no carbs and no sugar.
Based upon what my friend told me about the young bodybuilder make sense. The young man must weight 175; I believe he is a light-weight. So, he aims for 1 ½ to 2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight per day.
Now some might say per pound of "lean body weight" per day. Since most bodybuilders try to stay on the lean side even during the bulking phase, this adds up. All in all, protein powder is a necessity for any bodybuilder.

Avoid Overtraining
March 12th 2010 07:49
Overtraining can happen to bodybuilders and athletes; therefore, in general they need to be cognitive of overtraining the body. Anyone who has ever been a bodybuilder or competitive athlete has some time in their sports career experienced overtraining.
It happens frequently in athletes who train for competition or a specific event. They train further than their bodies are capable of recovering. This is an effective way to train in order to achieve success in their competition, but when overtraining is frequent or happening on a regular basis, then it’s time to chill.
Athletes regularly exercise longer and harder with the purpose of improving their abilities. There is nothing wrong with this type of training. Yet, if athletes train without sufficient rest and recovery, these training programs flop and in reality reduce the body’s strength, immune system and overall performance.
Training means conditioning the body, which requires a balance between overload and recovery. Every athlete needs to watch for too much overload and not enough recovery, which results in physical and mental exhaustion.
A few symptoms are:
Irritability
Tiredness
Frequent Colds or Flu Like Symptoms
Restless Sleep
Increase in Muscle Pain
I like my kickboxing instructor's advice -- "Listen to your body!"

Morning Workouts Best
March 7th 2010 03:47
The first thing in the morning is the best time to work out and lose fat because your stomach is empty. You will burn stored fat and calories. If you do it later in the day after eating a meal or two, your body will only burn the recent meals not the fat on the body. It something to think about next time you schedule cardio workouts

Legs and Back=Conditioning
June 28th 2008 13:50
The simplest observation in the gym last week reminded me of the most fundamental principles in using weight training for fitness. I had worked my chest pretty hard with a continuous series of giant sets whereby my chest was hit over and over with very little time to rest. When I finished, I immediately started a hamstring session by taking a couple of dumbbells off the rack and doing a set of stiff-legged dead lifts. As I finished and started to cross the gym I noticed that my breathing was elevated enough that a little voice(which I ignored) began to tell me that I should wait a little before doing the set of leg curls I was intent upon doing.
Then it ocurred to me: I had worked my chest with relatively heavy sets in rapid fire order and I had stimulated less of a breathing response in all of that than in one set of stiff-legged deadlifts. The principle is clear. Big muscles condition the body[ Click here to read more ]

Women: No Bulk-No Fat-Lotta Shape
June 25th 2008 12:46
Today I set out my assumptions before I enter into the text of my argument. I assume that a maturing female does not want to carry around bodyfat that she doesn't need to carry around. I assume that she would like to be of an ideal scale weight and yet maintain a feminine shape. I assume that she does not want to appear bulky in her clothing whether she is carrying any extra bodyfat or not. I assume that a diet-exercise program which leaves a woman lighter on the scale but lacking her feminine shape would not exactly please her even though she might be overjoyed with a desired weight loss.
Is there a way for women to remove bodyfat and still keep a pleasing shape. Is there a Goldilocks fitness program that removes and keeps off fat and does not strip away shape or add muscle that can easily be taken for fat when it is beneath clothing? If you have read my last couple of posts you know that I don't think intense dieting or dieting intense cardio like running or hour long elliptical sessions are the method. They destroy muscle and less muscle means less shape and less caloric demand[ Click here to read more ]

Lose Weight? Lose Muscle!
June 23rd 2008 12:59
We continue to counteract the irrational with the factual today and that is never an easy way to go. The fear that women have of bulk is irrational and even a tiny bit of commonsense will prove that,but it does not mean that the fear will disappear. We make the attempt nevertheless. In this post I intend to challenge the methods used by many dieting women and in the next give my pitch for what will really work long term.
If you are a lady and you are not happy with your shape and/or weight there are a number of routes you can travel to try to change the situation. You can diet down to a few hundred calories a day and you will lose weight for awhile and a goodly portion of this weight will be muscle. That is the way that the body does its business. It shepherds fat and throws aside muscle and, while the starving person continues to weigh less, there is no likelihood that she will be shapely. What we can assume is that once a scale weight goal is reached there will be a period when reality sets in and the starver will have to realize that her reduced muscle mass means futher weight loss will be nearly impossible or that normal calorie consumption will bring about rapid weight gain. Muscles burn calories[ Click here to read more ]
