by admin on Nov.18, 2011, under Intra Workout
Lately I haven’t been making my usual gains. to be honest i nearly started to consider steroids! I spoke to my freind about using them and he was in shock! He told me not to juice, he went over my diet with me and pointed out some stuff, harshly. He said im missing out on my calories extremely. I was confused I though I was eating loads but obviously not! So he recomeneded me to take Maximuscle cyclone. So I went out and got some. Rich in glutamine
To aid muscle repair and recovery, cyclone contains 10g of glutamine per daily serving. Glutamine is considered by many nutrition experts to be essential for anyone exercising regularly. Glutamine reduces the risk of overtraining as well as supporting your natural immune defences and is the most abundant amino acids in muscle tissue.

Lately been lagging in the gym. Had no clue what to do until the boss of the gym gave me the Bsn Syntha 6 to try. Not only I have done my whole workout in 30 minutes but have brush the whole gym as well. Than I went to the toilet and cleaned gyms toilet as well. Hope the boss will give me more bsn syntha 6 in the future. Have never felt so powerful and energized in my life. Contains 6 separate high-quality protein sources that maximize lean muscle development and strength acquirement, fortified with BCAA’s and glutamine peptides for maximum recovery and tissue repair.
Gaspari Nutrition

Been looking online at some products, see what’s new. Haven’t trained in a few years and thinking of getting back in the gym! I only ever used pre workout supplements before so I thought of starting of with that! So I order some gaspari superpump max It come through the post few days ago, it taste pretty good to be honest! Gaspari superpump is not only good source of ingredients concentrate but it contain a big amount of amino and creatine therefore it is nice all in one kind of shake. Gaspari Nutrition doesn’t rely on cheap stimulant laden formulas, cleverly crafted to claim they contain high concentrations of efficacious ingredients in order to win your support. Those do nothing more than get you buzzed like a junkie and that’s about it. We rely on the ingredients backed by CLINICAL RESEARCH and actually use them in the doses VALIDATED by that research.
Good weight gainers
by admin on Nov.14, 2011, under Mass Gainers
Been on some pretty good weight gainers. Recently thought I would try some pvl mutant mass. Never used it before, but my friend has. He said he got some really good gains of it. And to be perfectly honest it shows. But he is also a juice head, so I am not to sure witch it is that’s getting him so big. So I went for it anyway, what did I have to loose! We will see in the future how that will go. Muscle tissue is almost all protein. But when you are training hard and trying to add slabs of strong, sinewy muscle, you have to make sure the protein actually gets to the muscle! For that majority of people having problems putting on mass, valuable protein is being wasted and used up for energy before it can even get to the muscles.
New moms

They examined 261 women aged 35-46 who had low blood levels of testosterone and complained of reduced sexual arousal. Drugs such as Viagra can also improve short-term and long-term blood flow to the penis. (Annals Internal Medicine, 148: 569-577, 2008) Masturbation prevents prostate cancer Every bodybuilder knows that you must use it or lose it. blood fats) also increases the risk of ED. Physicians have successfully treated PE with anti-depressant medicines such as Prozac. An incredible 34 percent of new moms admitted to having an affair after giving birth and 53percent thought about it. (New York Post, May 2, 2008) Caffeine might help you get it up! Most men have trouble with erectile dysfunction (ED) some time in their lives. What do you think the average new mom thinks about after giving birth to her first child? Sex! A survey of 10,000 women entitled “sex and the American mom” conducted by cookies magazine showed that before kids, most women dream of having a cozy little family with little babies romping in the living room. They liked Obama because they perceived him as a good father and family man. It is most prevalent in men aged 18 to 40. Factors increasing the risk of PE include past history of sexually transmitted diseases or urinary tract infections, poor health, emotional stress, loss of income, past history of same sex activity, history of sexual harassment and childhood abuse. The results of the study showed that women suffering from poor sexual arousal might be better helped with psychological counseling rather than testosterone supplements. Diabetes increased the risk of ED by 176 percent. Frequent sexual intercourse did not have the same effect on the disease, possibly because of the increased risk of sexually transmitted diseases that promote the risk of prostate cancer. Factors decreasing the risk include daily alcohol consumption, circumcision and greater sexual experience. (Journal Sexual Medicine, 5: 1230-1236, 2008) Penis injuries The penis is ot a bone, so it can’t be fractured. According to researchers from the New Jersey Medical School in Newark, help may be on the way. Enzymes called phosphodiesterases (PDE) promote cell inflammation, suppress cyclic GMP (important for tissue blood flow) and trigger erection problems in diabetics. The researchers speculated that frequents masturbation flushes out cancer-causing toxins that promote the disease. Testosterone supplements increases sexual arousal in postmenopausal women. Nearly 80 percent of new moms said they wanted more sex and 29 percent said they’d rather get more action than lose 10 pounds. It is not known whether caffeine can promote erections in human diabetics or metabolically normal men. The risk increased by 321 percent if the men also had high blood pressure and abnormal blood fats. Sex makes you feel better about yourself. Men with strict religious backgrounds who view sex as a sin or lack attraction for their partner also have an increased risk of PE. Many women use testosterone creams and gels to boost sexual satisfaction. New York found that ED was an important predictor of serious health problems such as diabetes, heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, abnormal blood fats and angina (chest pain). Cells lining the arteries in the penis called endothelial cells release a chemical called nitric oxide (NO), which controls blood flow and erections. ED is an important indicator of cardiovascular and metabolic disease. ED is frustrating and depressing, but it is only the tip of the iceberg for serious health problems. Sex helps you sleep better. Sex decrease pain. They found that fractured penises were more serious when they included injuries to the urethra the tube leading from the bladder to the outside. (Journal Andrology, in press; published online April 17, 2008) New hopepremature ejaculators Premature ejaculation (PE) is the most significant sexual problem in men. They compared the sexual habits of 1,000 men with prostate cancer against 1,250 healthy men who did not have the disease. The risk of ED is much greater in men with diabetes or coronary artery disease and is linked to cell inflammation. cold compresses, pressure wraps, splinting and anti-inflammatory medications). After kids, their mind turns to the bedroom. Viagra works by increasing the secretion of a chemical called nitric oxide, which increases blood flow to the penis. Sex takes the concept of “up close and personal” to a new level 7. Regular sex reduces the incidence of colds and flu 3. Also, the Viagra produces a firmer erection, which given men more confidence and control. Lack of exercise, obesity problems with insulin metabolism and smoking can interfere with normal NO metabolism and lead to erection problems. See your doctor immediately if you have a serious injury to the penis. Researchers from the cancer council of Victoria in Australia found that men who masturbated five times a week or more decreased their risk of prostate cancer by 33 percent. Physicians sometimes use PDE inhibitors such as Viagra to treat ED in diabetes. They developed a health risk calculator that considered health status, waist size, the severity of the ED and having or not having a sexual partner. They asked the experts their perception on the ideal length of time the penis should be in the vagina during intercourse before ejaculation. Chinese researchers found that administering caffeine to diabetic rats inhibited PDE, increased cyclic GMP and improved erection quality. However, these treatments are often accompanied by side effects such as increased facial hair, deepening of the voice, and clitoral enlargement. It is an important regulator of energy metabolism, protein synthesis and other hormones. Of course, you burn more calories if you are a sexual gymnast than if you have rigor mortis sex 4. Men with triglyceride levels above 500 milligrams per 100 milligrams of blood increased their risk of ED by 100 percent. Israeli scientists found that high blood triglyceride levels (ie. They rated sex lasting 3 to 7 minutes as “adequate;” 7 to 13 minutes as “desirable;” and 1 to 2 minutes as “too short;” and 10-30 minutes as “too long” The results were consistent among therapists and were not affected by geographical location or personal sexual experience. Sex increases intimacy. Administering Viagra with the antidepressant Paxil not only improves erections, but prevented premature ejaculation. It can also result from blunt trauma to the erect penis while falling out of bed or rolling over during sleep The injury is a medical emergency that can lead to abscess, permanent curvature of the penis, pain during erection and sex, erectile dysfunction and hardening of the penile arteries. Endorphins released during sex reduce pain associated with headache, arthritis and intense training 8. Unfortunately, these drugs can also cause impotence in some men and increase the risk of suicide. Give it a try and see if it works for you. Sex boosts cardiovascular health. ED is linked to other important heart disease risk factors such as total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. The pain-relieving drug tramadol also shows promise in treating PE. Men with ED increased the risk of high blood pressure by 47 percent, cardiovascular disease and stroke by 80 percent and peripheral blood vessel disease by 85 percent. A fractured penis refers to the rupture of the corpus caver-nosum the sponge-like tissue in the penis that collects blood during an erection. (Journal Sexual Medicine, 5: 1237-1243, 2008) High triglycerides linked to erectile dysfunction Erectile dysfunction (ED) is an important warning sign of serious diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure. The women applied daily doses of testosterone or placebo to the skin for 16 weeks. Sex enhances the immune system. Getting it on makes you feel like King Kong 6. About 25 percent said that porn helps satisfy their sexual needs and 21 percent used alcohol to take the edge off their burning sex drives The take-home message is that MILFs are fertile ground for young players, particularly guys who project the image of good family men. A study of nearly 30,000 men by researchers from the Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn. Tunisian researchers concluded that surgery is the preferred method of treatment for serious penile ruptures because it results in fewer complications than conservative management (ie. Also, prostate cancer was not linked to the number of sexual partners or the average number of ejaculations in 24 hours. Bodybuilders should not self-medicate with thyroid hormone because it could cause erection problems. The injury often occurs during intercourse when the woman is on top and the penis slides out of the vagina and slams into the “taint” (the perineum the region between the vagina and the anus: taint ass, taint vagina). Sex burns calories and helps cut fat. Sex strengthens the pelvic floor muscles. Regular sex lowers blood pressure and has a calming effect 2. See your doctor if you have problems getting an erection; you might also have other serious health issues. (Journal Clinical Endocrinology Metabolism, 93:1815-1819, 2008) Testosterone spray no better than placebo for increasing sexual arousal in women Reduced sexual arousal affects more than 50 percent of women ages 25-50, but physicians have few options for treating the problem. While masturbation is more effective than intercourse, any king of sex helps keep the prostate gland healthy and viable 9. Caffeine also inhibits PDE and might serve as a poor man’s Viagra or help you get it up when the blue pills are in short supply. The calculator could predict serious disease 86 percent of the time. (Journal Sexual Medicine, 5: 1037-1050, 2008) Erectile dysfunction is a warning sign for serious health problems Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects as many as 50 percent of men over 40 years of age. Improving thyroid function also improves sexual function in every case. The most important thing in the sexual Olympics is not winning, but taking part. Their leading celebrity fantasy affairs include George Clooney, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Barack Obama. Most guys like to fall asleep after sex if they can get away with it There are countless other reasons why sex is enjoyable and healthful, which explain why it is man’s favorite sport. Sex reduces stress. Australian researchers, spray was no more effective than plain water (placebo) for boosting sex drive in younger adult women. It appears that this advice applies to the prostate gland as well. (Journal Sexual Medicine, in press; published online April 2008) Ten reasons for having sex Every evening, David Letterman gives us his “list of top 10 reasons” Here is a list of reasons why sex is good for you from Web MD; 1. You are a sexual Olympian if you can sustain sexual intercourse for 3-13 minutes. As woody Allen said, “don’t knock masturbation; it’s sex with someone I love” (British Journal Urology International, 92: 211-216, 2008) Are you a sexual Olympian? Most men think of themselves as gold medal winners in the sexual Olympics, but are you a sprinter or a distance athlete? Perceptions about sexual staying power vary greatly and are the subject of urban legend. Regular exercise and weight control help assure lifelong sexual health. Both groups reported improvements in sexual satisfaction, but there were no differences between groups. This improves urinary tract control and can even prevent back pain 10. Men who have sex at least twice a week have 50 percent fewer heart attacks 5. British researchers found that men with either overactive or under active thyroid glands showed impaired sexual health- most commonly mild erectile dysfunction (ED). High levels of nitric oxide interfere with ejaculation, which prolongs the sex act. (International Journal Research, 20: 111-114, 2008) Poor thyroid function causes sex problems The thyroid is a vitally important hormone – secreting gland located in the neck just below the Adam’s apple. ED was more prevalent in men with depressed thyroid function compared to over active thyroid function. Half of new moms thought their husbands were also having affairs. Thyroid hormones promote fat burning, so it is not surprising that thyroid supplements are very popular with bodybuilders. What do the experts tell us? Researchers from Behrend College in Erie, Pennsylvania found out by surveying Canadian and American members of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research. Sex reduces the risk of prostate cancer.
Alkaline diets linked to greater muscle mass
by admin on Nov.10, 2011, under Articles
The soldiers exercised intensely for long hours and got little sleep or food. (Paper presented at Endocrine Society Annual Meeting, June 2008). (Journal Applied Physiology, 105:58-64, 2008) High-sugar diets are bad for you Americans eat about 300 more calories per day than they did 25 years ago-mostly in the form of high-sugar drinks and processed foods. Diets high in simple sugars promote cell inflammation, which might increase the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and coronary artery disease. Chemicals called ribosomal protein S6 kinase and the target of rapamycin (mTOR) are important cell signaling molecules that are sensitive to small changes in energy status and are major forces in protein synthesis. You might prevent prostate trouble as you age by eating diets low in fat and red meat and high in vegetables. (Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 11: 222-226, 2008 Eggs reduce the negative effects of low-carbohydrates diets Low-carbohydrate, high-protein diets speed fat loss and maintain muscle mass, so they are popular with bodybuilders. We are also in the midst of an obesity and diabetes epidemic that seems to have no end in sight. (International Journal of Cancer, 122: 2581-2585, 2008) Eggs aren’t so bad, after all Back in the 1950s, the bacon-and-egg breakfast was standard fare. Brazilian researchers, in a review of literature, concluded that the optimal intake of leucine was different in anabolic (building) and catabolic (breakdown) states. Is there a relationship between the consumption of high-sugar foods and our creeping waist-lines? Australian researchers found that eating high-sugar foods (glucose or white bread) increased chemical markers of inflammation three times greater than eating complex carbohydrates (pasta). A University of California, Davis study led by Peter Havel, found that overweight adults gained abdominal fat when 25 percent of their calories came from fructose. Eggs also increased levels of adiponectin, which is an important marker of blood sugar control. A Japanese study found that coenzyme Q10 (100 or 300 milligrams per day for eight days) improved performance and reduced perception of fatigue during intense endurance exercise and interval training. Eating eggs as part of a low-carb diet increased HDL-cholesterol and reduced chemical measures of inflammation. Include eggs in your diet, particularly when you are eating low carbohydrates, high-protein foods. The optimal leucine dose for bodybuilders depends on training status and might be different when building mass than when cutting for a contest. It is more common in the United States and Europe than in Asian countries, which suggests that lifestyle differences might influence who gets the disease and who survives it. It seems as though every week we see a new study that provides contradictory information. Micah Drummond and Blake Rasmussen from University of Texas Medical Branch, in a review of literature, concluded that after weight training, feeding a supplement high in leucine-rich essential amino acids and carbohydrates activated protein signaling molecules that promoted protein synthesis and muscle growth. (Journal American dietetic Association, 108: 1178-1185, 2008) Zeroing in on leucine intake Many bodybuilders take leucine supplements to build muscle mass and prevent atrophy. Eggs are high in cholesterol, so they have been on the “don’t eat list for more than 30 years. Prostate enlargement causes frequent nighttime urination, urinary tract pain, urgent painful painful frequent burning urination, a weak urine stream, erection problems, premature ejaculation and increases the risk of prostate cancer. Conversely, leucine promotes muscle protein synthesis and prevents breakdown in rested athletes. The subjects were lean, healthy, young adults, so the negative affects might have been even greater in obese people with diabetes. The addition of high-fructose com syrup (HFCS) to soft drinks makes them high-calorie, low-nutrient foods. This makes sense because this key amino acid is an important signaling chemical that turns on protein synthesis and suppresses protein breakdown. The larger dose produced the greatest effects. However, consuming the supplement for 10 days had no long-term effect on performance. They work like biological computer programs to line up amino acids needed to produce new muscle tissue. Coenzyme Q10, particularly in doses of 300 milligrams per day, might prevent fatigue and boost performance during intense sprint exercise, but we need more research before we can recommend it as an effective performance-enhancing supplement. High-energy expenditure and low energy intake causes rapid fat loss, but also triggers muscle atrophy and decreased levels of anabolic hormones. It adds fluid to semen and increases semen ejection pressure during ejaculation. (American Journal Clinical Nutrition, 87: 799-800, 2008) Diets that prevent prostate enlargement Men who eat red meat, consume few vegetables and don’t drink alcohol have an increased risk of prostate enlargement. That’s changing. Unfortunately, people are gravitating toward less healthy farmed fish, such as tilapia, because they are inexpensive. Egg eaters were more overweight, exercised less smoked more and had higher blood pressure, so it’s difficult to say whether eating eggs is bad for the health or if their results were coincidental. 05 or 09g of protein per kilogram bodyweight per day had no effect on IGF-1, free or total testosterone (anabolic hormones), and fat and muscle loss in soldiers participating in an eight-day military exercise. Fruits and vegetables containing fructose are healthy foods because they are high in volume and nutrients and low in calories. The physician’s health study of more than 21,000 men showed that eating more than seven eggs per week increased the risk of premature death by 23 percent. Many scientists blame the current obesity epidemic on the high intake of HFCS. That changed as scientists linked high blood cholesterol with an increased risk of heart attack. This information has caused explosive growth in the fishing industry. Fish high in omega-3s include mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tune and salmon. Just when you thought you were totally confused about the ideal bodybuilding diet, scientists from Tufts University muddied the water even more. These observations might apply to over trained athletes or bodybuilders preparing for a contest. As with most things in life, moderation is the key. Bodybuilders should consume carb amino acids supplements high in leucine before and after training to maximize protein synthesis. Maybe they should eat a cold slice of watermelon. The risk of heart disease decreases by 7 percent for every 20 grams of fish consumed per day. Researchers from the University of Connecticut at Storrs, led by josephs Ratliff, found that eating eggs as part of a low-carb diet increased HDL-cholesterol and reduced chemical measures of inflammation. However, eating an egg a day increased the death rate by 100 percent in men with diabetes. To make matters worse, tilapia contains few heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which is one of the reasons for eating more fish in the first place. Some athletes experience coenzyme Q10 depletion during training and might benefit from supplements. (American Journal Epidemiology, 167: in press; published online February 7, 2008) Coenzyme Q10 increases sprint capacity Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like chemical that helps supply energy to the cells. Its high lycopene and beta-carotene content fights free radicals produced naturally during metabolism that are linked to aging, heart disease and immune system breakdown. High intake of fat, red meat and polyunsaturated fats increased the risk by 31 percent or more, while consuming two alcoholic beverages per day or four servings of vegetables per day decreased the risk by 30 percent or more. It works like a natural Viagra by increasing the secretion of the blood flow-regulating chemical nitric oxide (NO). Researchers from the University of Texas Anderson Cancer Center in Houston reported that prostate cancer was more likely to progress in men who ate foods high in saturated fats, such as steaks, burgers, ice cream, mayonnaise and salad dressing. Blood cholesterol often went through the ceiling- not to mention an increased risk of salmonella poisoning. The study showed that nutritional intervention could not make up for the extreme physical challenges of prolonged, intense exercise. Many health experts, however, recommended that people with high blood pressure or diabetes should limit weekly egg intake to four or less. Older adults who consumed more grains and meat and fewer fruits and vegetables had lower levels of potassium and ess muscle mass. NO plays a vital role in sexual performance, adaptation to exercise, prevention of heart disease and diabetes and maintenance of normal energy levels. They found that high acid diets might cause muscle wasting. Fructose in HFCS is highly concentrated, difficult to metabolize and promotes obesity and heart disease. Subjects given glucose gained the same amount of weight, but it was more evenly distributed throughout the body. (American Journal Clinical Nutrition, 87: 662-665, 2008) Are eggs bad for you? Twenty-five years ago, it was not unusual for bodybuilders to drink shakes containing 10 raw eggs mixed with protein powder and whole milk. Watermelon is also one of the best immune-boosting foods on the planet. Those eating more fruits and vegetables had the highest levels of lean body mass (fat-free weight) We don’t know if these results apply to young, healthy bodybuilders, but eating plenty of fruits and vegetables is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. They activate signaling pathways inside the cells that promote protein synthesis in the muscles and modify muscle protein breakdown, remodeling and repair. The high-fructose loads from HFCS are processed by the liver and end up largely as triglycerides (fats) stored in the fat cells, which promotes obesity. Egg consumption was not related to heart attacks or stroke. Each year the disease kills nearly 30,000 men and physicians diagnose nearly 200,000 new cases. (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 87: 1188-1193, 2008) Watermelon is the new love food Most guys pop a Viagra or Cialis pill when trying to put a little lead in their pencil. Eggs are high in cholesterol, so they have been on the “don’t eat” list for more than 30 years. (Healthmsncom, July 22, 2008) Concentrated fructose increases ab fat Soft-drink serving sizes are four to six times larger than in 1970. (Nutrition & Metabolism, published online February 28, 2008) Tilapia is unhealthy for you Eating fish containing high levels of omega-3 fatty acids reduces the risk of heart attack and heart-related sudden death. Most of us are confused about the ideal combination of protein, carbohydrates and fats in the diet for promoting muscle mass and minimizing fat. Muscle tension, blood levels of amino acids (particularly leucine) and insulin are key factors triggering muscle growth. According to scientists from Texas A&M University, watermelon contains citrulline, which helps relax blood vessels in the penis and promote erections. Baylor University scientists increased short-term sprint exercise capacity on a stationary bike (Wingate test) following ingestion of 100mg of fast-melt coQ10 supplement. The incidence of prostate cancer varies greatly around the world. Abdominal fat deposition increases the risk of heart attack, diabetes and high blood pressure. Just when you thought it was safe to eat an omelet every day, a new study showed otherwise. Watermelon helps prevent obesity and insulin resistance and is an important part of a well-balanced diet. Recent studies from Harvard and Japan showed no link between heart attack, stroke and egg consumption. Scientists from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle found that 33 men per 1000 men develop prostate enlargement. (Nutrition & Metabolism, 5:20, 2008; published online) Increased protein intake does not prevent muscle loss during boot camp training Soldiers and bodybuilders often train extremely hard while consuming low-calorie diets. Conversely, low doses improve muscle protein synthesis, but have little effect on protein breakdown. Protein and cereal grains produce acids such as sulfuric acid, while fruits and vegetables generate alkaline chemicals such as potassium and bicarbonate. The prostate is a golf ball-sized gland located below the bladder that wraps around the urethra (the tube that delivers urine from the bladder to the outside). (Journal International Society Sports Nutrition, 5: published online March 4, 2008) Leucine speeds protein synthesis after weight training Cells use amino acids to make new proteins, but amino acids do a lot more than build proteins. A wake forest University study found that farm-raised tilapia is high in arachidonic acid, an omega-6 fatty acids, which causes inflammation linked to heart disease, blood vessel damage and cell aging. (Science Daily, July 1, 2008) High-fat diets promote prostate cancer Prostate cancer is the second-leading cancer-related cause of death in men in the United States. Following prostate cancer surgery, obese men who ate high saturated-fat diets were free of prostate cancer for an average of 19 months, while lean men following low-fat diets were free of the disease for an average of 46 months. Several well-controlled scientific studies found that egg consumption was not related to the risk of heart attack or stroke. The take-home message is that fish is good for you-as long as you eat the right kind. In catabolic states (ie, after surgery or traumatic injury) high doses of leucine prevent protein breakdown, but have little effect on protein synthesis. Amino acids activate signaling proteins in muscles that turn on protein synthesis and increase muscle fiber size. This study is more evidence of the importance of healthy diet in promoting health and preventing disease. However, alcohol increases the risk of accidents and violence, so problem drinkers should abstain. The authors made a very important point: optimal nutrition for sports varies with training status, health, age and gender. Eggs are good source of high-quality protein, supply important antioxidants that fight dangerous free radicals (linked to aging, depressed immunity and heart disease), but do not cause increased levels of LDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol). Recent studies found that eggs are good sources of high-quality protein and supply important antioxidants that fight dangerous free radicals (linked to aging, depressed immunity and heart disease), but do not cause increased levels of LDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol). The diets cause rapid weight loss, but can increase the risk of heart disease by promoting whole-body inflammation and reducing levels of HDL-cholesterol (the good cholesterol). Regular, moderate consumption of alcohol appears to be part of the healthy lifestyle. Eggs also increased levels of adiponectin, which is an important marker of blood sugar control. A study from the United States Army Research Institute of environmental Medicine in Natick, Massachusetts led by Joseph Alemany found that protein intake (ie. Boot camp-type training is not the best road to success for bodybuilders. Soldiers in both groups experience large decreases in IGF-1 and testosterone. There was no link between supplemental vitamins and a reduced risk of prostate problems.
Bodybuilding & Heart Disease
by admin on Nov.09, 2011, under Articles
With bodybuilders relying on lean red meat to supply increased protein, the need to give blood is even more substantial! There is no negative to donating blood and the potential health benefits could be amazing! So, take advantage of your local blood drive to do yourself and your community some good! Tell your friends and family to do themselves a favor and donate blood at least once a year to maintain good heart health! One last positive benefit of giving blood is that you are screened for almost every blood born pathogen which is a positive side benefit!. You will find many of the men’s formulas do not contain iron supplementations due to the implications on heart disease Men and women with a genetic abnormality that have slightly higher iron levels were found to have over two times as much chance of developing cardiovascular disease. Magnesium is very hard to get in the diet, so don’t skimp on the MgO! WHY BODYBUILDERS SHOULD GIVE BLOOD ! Bloodbanks are often low in this country and it is a great idea to give blood, it could help save your life and the lives of many people in need, but is there more benefit to giving blood other than doing the public good? Yes, it seems that giving blood for men could also save your life lessen the effects of the “bodybuilding” lifestyle. Anabolic steroids could possibly alter lipid profiles, so it is even more important for people using steroids to maintain safe lipid levels and blood pressure. Running low on minerals is like running your car with only 1 quart of oil in it. I take 1000mg of Magnesium Oxide per day as a way to supplement my diet. In addition, EPA and DHA decrease the effect of genes involved in fat storage which helps maintain lean mass while bulking. This simple mineral has the power to save lives and increase the effectiveness of your creatine supplements and it is cheap and available in safe over the counter supplements! So why aren’t we taking Magnesium? Low magnesium has been linked to increased risks for sudden death, high blood pressure, type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease. They also down-regulate genes involved in inflammation, which is an important marker of long term health. Also, a Finnish study showed that men who give blood at least once a year had an 88% reduced risk of heart attacks. Fish oil is a great source for anti-inflammatory prostaglandins and is implicated in the reduction of bowel disorders and cancer of the bowel, which is of importance to anyone who is concerned about health. These omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) have a multitude of health benefits for the bodybuilder specifically, including increased fat burning and improved sugar metabolism, which are good for obvious reasons. Fish oil causes a reduction in platelet aggregation and stickiness which reduces arterial inflammation is good for everyone, including the bodybuilder, but especially one who takes anabolic steroids or the pro-steroids found on the market (which are steroids by the way). Good magnesium intake is associated with improved insulin sensitivity, optimal lipoprotein levels, suppression of abnormal heart rhythms, reduced blood pressure, headache relief, and improved exercise capability. Magnesium can also augment your use of creatine by helping the cells take in more creatine via increased membrane permeability and osmotic factors. The average American is not even close to the lowest RDA dose of 420mg. Finally, fish oil have been shown to reduce liver tumor metastasis and formation, which is a good thing for people that chronically take anabolic steroids. Men have a higher incidence of heart disease and congestive heart failure than women and one of the possible causes is the higher blood iron levels found in men. Fish Oil contains two main ingredients; DHA and EPA. One of the reason for men’s version of multi-vitamins is the difference in need for iron between men and women. It might still get you around, but your chances of failure are higher than if you don’t run ar optimal fluid levels! With magnesium being so inexpensive, you can’t afford to miss this crucial mineral in your supplement plan. Colon cancer is a very common form of cancer that affects millions of people. (oh, plan on getting a bottle for your mom & dad if you want to help them prevent heart disease and type II diabetesI have a bottle for mom and dad). Many bodybuilders that use illegal anabolic steroids, but even standard “natural” bodybuilders should consider supplements that will spare them the heart disease associated with higher blood pressure. Magnesium can also reduce lactic acid in the cells, making it essential prior to a heavy training session if you want to squeeze the most out of each workout. Bodybuilders specifically have a tendency to have high blood iron levels due to their consumption of meat products as a way to get increased protein. Fish Oil – THE ARTERIAL CLEANER Fish Oil is the first powerhouse in keeping the bodybuilder safe from heart disease. In fact I also take a baby aspirin per day to keep the damaging effects of inflammation at bay. EPA/DHA have been shown to reduce the risk of stroke and sudden death along with improving blood lipid profiles by increasing the beneficial HDL cholesterol and slightly reducing the damaging LDL cholesterol. I take 4-6 fish oil capsules per day in divided doses as a way to increase the positive effects of a healthy diet and keep blood lipids in check MAGNESIUM : THE COFACTOR FOR HEART HEALTHY MAY MAKE CREATINE PERFORM BETTER Magnesium is a very important mineral that is almost lost in our refined and cleaned water supply. All of these things are great for the bodybuilder who is using steroids/prosteroids and important for bodybuilders of any variety that want to maintain maximum health and vitality. Giving blood at least once a year is a way to reduce these harmful levels of blood iron. Remember the RDA is the ABSOUTE MINIMUM needed to prevent diseases, not the OPTIMAL dose. Unless you eat a diet VERY high in vegetables, you are probably running on the low side of magnesium.
Gaspari protein

Gaspari myofusion hydro has to be the best shake I have tried up until now! The gains come rapid and they don’t stop coming. Like most shakes your body comes immune to. But this stuff was on a whole new level, I was using 3 servings a day. The taste was unbelievable! I was really please! When I started on my second tub I stacked it with maximuscle creamax. The results keep coming! One of these products might just sustain amino acid levels in your blood long enough for you to get up off your butt every 5 to 13 hours and eat. I wish we could play that game, but we can’t. Last we checked the typical hardcore, educated athlete using Gaspari Nutrition products is on a 2.5 to 3 hour interval meal schedule, and for this reason the New MyoFusion delivers only the highest and most legitimately bioavailable proteins in existance – hard and fast!
Workout

This will help motivate you to work hard and make improvements For a beginner I would suggest that you workout 3 days per week or every other day. Eating right is not that difficult it just takes a bit of planning ahead The biggest factor to your success is being consistent with your workouts and proper nutrition. This is a great way to have a quick high protein breakfast For lunch at school or work you could: Cook foods such as chicken, beef, turkey, rice, pasta, etc. Then your body reacts by building up the muscles in order to handle the extra work and stress. Then you repeat the process of working out and rest. 1 gallon of water per day and get 8 hours of sleep each night For supplements take a multivitamin and fish oil capsules with your breakfast and evening meal. By doing this you will give your body plenty of time for recuperation and muscle growth. ahead of time and put them in a Tupperware container to reheat in the microwave. And for those who are just getting started it can be very confusing. In fact you can make great gains by training in a small home gym. For example if you ate the typical 3 meals a day and then had a protein shake in between each meal this would be a great way to “supplement” your diet with extra protein For your nutrition you should eat at least 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. Nutritional supplements can help provide extra nutrients. You can follow several different workout routines and make good progress, just make sure to work all of the major muscle groups Here is a good workout routine that you can follow. Cooking on a George Foreman grill (or similar grill) is a fast and easy way to cook your meats, chicken, etc. I'd like to make gains as fast as possible, but when I ask people how I should go about it all I keep getting different answers. When you over train your body can’t build muscle and you may even lose some of the muscle you have now We can shorten the period it takes the body to recover from a workout through proper nutrition and supplements. You do not need to have much exercise equipment. When you put aside all of the hype you can see that building muscle and losing fat is not very complex What I am going to do is outline a good weight training, nutrition, and supplementation program that you can follow. A protein drink or protein bar can be considered a meal. Supplements are not designed to replace real food, but to be taken in addition to real food. I'm a complete beginner to weight training. A common mistake that people make is thinking that they will get better results if they workout for several hours everyday. Eat plenty of carbohydrates such as rice, potatoes, yams, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat bread, oatmeal, fruit, vegetables, etc. Muscles do not grow while you are working out; they grow while you are resting. for meals later in the day Make sandwiches such as tuna, roast beef, turkey, etc Mix a protein shake and take it with you in a thermos or shaker bottle Take healthy snack foods like apples, bananas, carrots, dried fruit, nuts, etc. So by gradually increasing the workload you put on your muscles your body will become bigger and stronger Once you workout you have to give your body time to repair and build the muscles through rest. Please help me, I need advice on all areas: diet, routine, exercises, supplements, etc This is one of the most common questions that I am asked. This is what is called “over training”. By eating lots of nutritious foods you provide the body with the raw material it needs for muscle growth. For protein eat foods such as beef, chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, milk, protein shakes, etc. For example, in the morning I’ll often have a big bowl of oatmeal and mix in 2 scoops of vanilla whey protein. Try to limit your fat intake, you don’t eliminate fat entirely just avoid eating excess fried foods and “junk-foods”. There is a lot more energy in a commercial gym and there is a feeling of friendly competition. . You can have a protein shake between meals and after your workouts or any other time that you are unable to get a complete high protein food meal. Besides having more exercise equipment to choose from. I understand what you are going through because I went through the samething when I began bodybuilding We all have to start somewhere and it can be overwhelming at times because people often make things more complicated then they really are. Eat a small meal every 2-3 hours. This is not true because what happens is the muscles get stressed and damaged but they don’t get a chance to recover and build up. Working out will stress and damage the muscles slightly. With this routine you split up your workouts by exercising half of your body one workout and then exercising the other half the next workout. But I would recommend that you workout in a commercial gym. Strive to drink approx.
With this routine you workout every-other-day and alternate the two workout routines. The weight that you lift for the first couple of weeks should be light enough so you can complete the repetitions with ease. Then gradually, over time increase the amount of weight that you are lifting. For the first set of each exercise, use a light weight to warm up the muscles and prevent injury. For the other sets, increase the weight so that you have to work hard to complete the required repetitions.
At this stage it is best not to complicate things, keep your routine simple and be consistent with your eating and training. The biggest factor with success in bodybuilding is to just stick with it and focus on making small improvements overtime.
