Do you want to look bigger than you really are?

Posted 22 January 2008 by kiez

kroppsbygging07-2.jpgI got a trick for you if you got a rather small body and want to look bigger there are many ways to go and tricks to choose from. Here I will tell you about the tricks that really work. Everyone always think that biceps is more important that triceps but I can tell you that it is really the other way around. Think about it if you have a big biceps and a small triceps not many people will notice and biceps is twice as small as the triceps. However if you have a big triceps it will look like you have wider shoulders than you really got. Another example is to train your shoulder a lot, especially the outside-shoulders. Then your back will seems to be bigger and people will think you have a bigger V-angle than you really have. There are many manipulation tricks like this and they are really great if you simply want to look bigger. Remember people can mostly only see your biceps when you flex it, but triceps they will see all the time. Other things that are important are to keep your waist as slim as possible. The slimmer your waist is the bigger your shoulders/back look.

So basically you have to start focus more on you back then on your chest and more on your triceps than on your biceps. Almost all the hottest and biggest builders train like this because for them it is only about how big they look, not how big they really are!

It works a little bit like a magician they always show you something that is not really there.

From Skinny to Fit: Basic Steps

Posted 22 January 2008 by kiez

kroppsbygging4.jpgThere are tons of small guys who wish they was bigger so I made a small guide exactly how you should do it. I know many guys who are going to the gym everyday but never even gain 1 CM on their biceps. This happen mostly because the person who want to get bigger don’t eat or he eat too much health food! Yes it is possible if you are very skinny. I meet many guys who are very fit but they are again very small, kind of like Bruce Lee. They always ask me how to get bigger and I reply them with “what do you eat everyday” then they say like “ohh today I ate salad and chicken filet and rice”. At this point I usually ask if they only eat what they read in magazines about fitness building etc. They usually answer yes and say the follow a nutrition program 100% but still they don’t gain any weight!

The fact here is that if you are skinny as hell you got to eat as hell as well. You cannot only eat health food you have to eat everything, everything you find in your house I mean EVERYTHING! Eat pizza, bacon, moms baked potato dinners etc. If you do this you will notice that you start to gain weight. You would probably don’t gain a lot of fat since you are already so skinny. Continue to eat like this until you get a little bit round. I don’t mean fat just like Bruce Willis for example. When you get like that you start with your nutrition plans and you will increase a lot in body mass. This is almost the only ay you can get big if you are very skinned and ripped.

Important steps for a bigger body!

Posted 15 January 2008 by kiez

modell_kroppsbygging.jpgIt is very important to visualize you goal if you are an active bodybuilder, you really got think and picture yourself how you want to look like in the future. Most bodybuilders creates a ego for their bodies and treat the body like a holy temple, all this sort of things are necessary if you really want to be the best. You have to make sacrifices to get where you want to be! Many body builder today are stopped mentally because they only train and eat like a bodybuilder but they don’t actually think like one. When I say this I mean that you got to think of your as the one or the best. You cannot be number 2 or 3, you have to work really hard to be number one and stay number one. If you get control of your mind and thought when you go to the gym you will increase you weight a lot more. I remember when I started body building I was 54 KG and 1.78 CM tall. I really wanted to get a good and firm body, so when I was under the bench and felt like I could not lift it anymore I used my mind to lift it for me! I did that with simply picturing myself in the future how I want to look like, and those kinds of mind tricks gave a lot more power. So I have to say it again “visualize you goal before you start going to the gym” When it comes to training there are tons of bad ways to train and just a few good ways. However as long as you use your body’s muscles you still train and increase the ability of you body. Some bodybuilders today has been brain washed by training programs and when they get home form work and tells themselves “ohh I forgot to buy proteins bla blas bla” and then they decides not to hit the gym because in their training programs it says you MUST take proteins after training. Another example is when you get to the gym you found out you forgot carb’s to take after training you then decide to go home because you think that the session would be a waste of time. This is bullshit and I bet many of you have these kinds of restrictions on your head. It is better to be active with your body even you don’t eat anything then doing nothing and eating a lot.

Recently, i’ve been making good gains on weight training but I had to go home to the Philippines good thing is… I finally found a formula to quickly bounce  back into the game, since (as i said above) I just had a three week vacation back home in The Philippines, with minimal workout.

So it was a forced rest for me for around 2 weeks.

Then I went back to Jakarta and back to my online business and I needed to bounce back pretty quick and  since I have my workout timeline for the next few months, I just went to the gym and continued on where I left off.

Needless to say I had no trouble lifting heavy and progressing big again, since I had my timeline and chart to look on. That’s why I think these things are essential to training since sometimes we can’t foresee certain events that will push us out of routine like: sickness, vacations, injuries and other activities that will not allow us to go to the gym for quite sometime.

So please keep this in mind this new year! Have a great workout!

The Wonders of Whey Protein!

Posted 09 January 2008 by Mr. Muscle

Having known that taking in sufficient amounts of proteins is essential in muscle-building, it is now time to know the right kinds of proteins to consume. One type of protein stands out in the bodybuilding category- whey protein.

What is Whey Protein?

Whey protein is a wonderful food supplement since it contains some great muscle-building properties. It has one important element that most other protein sources don’t have- its digestibility rate. Whey protein isolate for example (the purest form of whey protein), is one of the fastest acting protein sources today. Once ingested, whey protein isolate can circulate in your system shortly thereafter.

As well as being one of the fastest-acting proteins, whey protein isolate is rich in branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These amino acids are very important since they help prevent muscle protein breakdown during exercise and appear to preserve muscle stores of glycogen. In other words, whey protein isolate contains the muscle building properties that most weight trainers are looking for. This is very important to understand.

The Importance Of A Good Diet In Bodybuilding

Posted 29 December 2007 by Mr. Muscle

When aiming to effectively and efficiently build up muscles, many people often concentrate solely on their work out regime. However, it is also extremely important that they take a closer look at the various kinds of muscle-building diets which are essential to achieve the goal of increasing their body’s muscle mass.

The fact is many people often overlook the importance of a well-balanced nutritional diet to help increase muscle mass. Certainly if you are someone who are seriously considering building muscle quickly then you need to ensure that you are eating adequate amounts of nutritional food and getting sufficient calorie counts. It is therefore important that you eat right if you want to take make the most out of your workout routines.

When it comes to finding the right kind of diet you need to decide what your aims are. There are a few guidelines which you need to follow. If these are not followed, you will soon discover that you gained more fat without actually gaining any more muscle.

When it comes to getting a good muscle-building diet in place there are three particular things that you should focus on:

1. eating in the right portions sufficient amounts of proteins, carbohydrates and fats

2. keeping a careful eye on what you are eating

3. ensuring that your body is being fed at critical times

If your goal is to increase your lean body mass, first you need to ensure that you are consuming sufficient amounts of lean proteins. It is the amino acids contained within these foods which help our muscles grow and these should be consumed at regular intervals throughout the day. You should therefore be eating sufficient amounts of eggs, milk, and lean meat along with vegetables that have high protein content.

Secondly you need to ensure that you are eating adequate amounts of fats. Remember that not all fats are bad for you! Fats help to produce the hormones which help with muscle growth, as well as regulate the processes within our body which are essential to help it remain fit and healthy. Look for fats which are either poly unsaturated or mono unsaturated and avoid saturated or trans fats. Olive oil is one of the best types of fats you can consume and should be included in any kind of muscle-building diet that a person is following in order to build their muscle mass.

It is important to note that a good diet must always be in place when considering muscle-building. There are many misconceptions in the world of bodybuilding and many people have their own ideas on how to build muscle and the quickest way to build muscle. But remember, when aiming to build muscles, consider your diet first and foremost.

Bulk and become huge!

 How to train?kroppsbygging_elek.jpg

You cannot train too hard each time you hit the gym, you wont win anything on that. For a short period though this can be very hood to increase you strength. Hardcore training is not only about how much you lift, but also about how many reps you manage to take.

Most builders think of the winter season as a bulking period (offseason) where you eat tons off food to get big and gain more mass. When you are taking a bulking period it is alla bout muscles and not about loosing fat, but be careful so you dont gain more fat than you can handle, that will only hurt yourself for success.

Food

If you do not eat enough or dont eat you meals at the same time each day you will get problems increasing your mass.Even tough you are bulking you should try to eat health food, but you can add some more fat and proteins. Try to get at least 2-4 gram protein pr body weight each day! Try to eat a lot of chicken, turky, beef, eggs and other stuff that are rich on proteins. You can also drink protein shakes but i recommend not more then 3 shakes a day, 1 for breakfast, one after training and one before you go to bed.

Stretching

One of the most ignored aspects of training to increase your mass is stretching, if you have not programmed this into your training program its time you do it!  When you stretch you muscles they will regain faster and be ready for another training session a lot faster then if you do not stretching at all.

To increase you mass it is important that you do weight training!

1) Drop set: This will help you pump everything out of you muscle, also called train until you drop!

2) Heavy Set: Sometimes its good to train heavy, when you do this take only 3-5 reps with very heavy weights. This will increase you muscles power and strenght

3) Standard:  Choose you weight so that you can mange between 8-10 reps. In there sets you really have to train hard and push the limits. If you want muscles with quality before its summertime this is the way you will get em “Hard Training”!

If you follow these steps you will see that you will get in better shape and have less fat when it is summertime.

Drink Coffee and go to the gym before breakfast!mage13.jpg

Once you wake up there has been many hours since you last meal, and you your body’s carbohydrates are low. Then you body will save the rest for reserves but burn fat instead of sugar. The effect get even better if you drink a cup of coffee. The caffeine in the coffee will wake you up and increase the whole burning process.

Can i burn from a special place on my body?

No, it is not possible to choose a place where you want to burn fat. No matter where you got fat on your body its all about making a good training program which got the following 3 factors: What you do you eat, fat burning activities and strength training. These 3 parts needs to be perfect if you want to loose weight and gain muscles in the same time. I also remind you to decrease how much carbohydrates you eat each day, and increase how many much proteins you eat each day.

Aerobic Activities

This is the first thing you should do when you get to the gym with a cup of coffee, you will really burn away fat here. Remember to do this kind of training before you eat and i guarantee you that you will be success full with fat burning!

Train until you cant take it anymore

In many years people thought that you should not push yourself to hard when you train aerobics. New studies tells us different. You will burn up to 50% more fat if you give everything when you do aerobics since the most of the fat you burn happen after training and not while you do it. If you do not train hard enough you will probably only burn while you training and the effect would be less great.

Maximize your diet to gain muscle mass fast

Posted 12 December 2007 by Mr. Muscle

In my experience, a lot of people I meet still complain about their bodybuilding progress.

Most of them say that they do regular workouts, sleep well and eat properly.

However there results are dismal or average at best, and due to this a lot of them ask for my advice and I tell them “In order to get the results you want, you need to take it to the next level.”

A lot of them think that by saying this I meant that they should workout more but in most cases they have to eat more and sometimes, they just have to eat properly and learn how to maximize their diet.

Here are four tips to help you maximize your diet.

1. Eat Frequently

Now, this is very important. Once you have computed your daily caloric intake, you should be able to determine the number of meals you should be taking per day.

So if you plan to consume 4000 calories per day, your best option would be to eat 6 meals a day. Although this may seem like a lot, your body needs a lot of energy. Remember, if you are sedentary your body burns around 1800 calories. Do the math.

Now if you eat a 4000 calorie meal. That’s a bad idea. But if you divide 4000 calories into 6 small meals a day, then each meal will consist of approximately 660 calories. Believe me when I say that a 660 calorie meal is not alot.

Although it takes a lot of discipline to eat this way eating smaller and more frequent meals is the most effective way to gain weight without increasing your stomach size.

Another reason to eat smaller meals is for the gradual release of insulin. When we eat carbs our blood glucose levels will rise and the body has to counteract this by releasing insulin to lower blood glucose levels and as stated in more other articles insulin is the body’s most anabolic hormone.

This will allow your body to burn fat and build more muscle.

2. Pre-workout Meals are a must

Now, before working out you need to have enough energy to train hard. So the best thing to do is to eat simple carbs like past and rice 30-40 minutes prior to your workout.

The reason is that slow-burning carbs take longer to convert to glucose and it will keep your blood sugar levels consistent which prevents your body from having any energy problems thus allowing you to train longer and harder.

Just be sure to combine this meal with a healthy variety of good protein to maximize the muscle gaining process.

3. Eat a Superior Post-workout Meal

After you workout, it is important to get a meal of fast-burning carbs and protein. Ideal food for this would be whey protein mixed with fruit. I usually get some milk mix it with my whey protein powder and shoot in a banana or two.

It is very important to eat/drink exactly after a workout, since during workout time you actually tear your muscles and put it into a catabolic state (A state of breaking molecules down in your body) This “Destruction” is what tricks your body to adapt to the situation by building bigger and stronger muscles.

Your Guide To a Sixpack Part 1

Posted 08 December 2007 by kiez

six pack absThis is the best plan if you wish to get want to go down in weight and get a hot six pack all at in the same pack!

The first thing you have to do is make a training schedule that contains 3 things.

-What you eat and when you eat it!
-Fat burning activities
-Work-out plan

There are 1000 hard ways to get a flat belly and only 1 easy one. Here i will tell you more about the easy way for getting a six pack. Many people today are dreaming about getting a flat belly You might say that you dont have one but the truth is that you probably have fat covering it or your muscles are just really small. If you want a really strong and good six pack you should have less then 8% bodyfat, this can be dangerous for a girl but healthy for a guy.

Tips on how to burn away the fat
It is not only the 2-3 times a week when you go to the gym you get a chance to burn fat. Check out my tips what you can do to speed up the burning process even more!

Eat more protein!

It is very important that you eat a lot of protein as this will help you burn only your fat and not your muscles. Let me explain: if you workout your belly a lot but dont eat much protein you may risk losing both fat and muscles in the same time. You muscles will simply get smaller as you lose fat. The better way is to keep your muscles as they are or make them bigger and at the same time keep losing fat! To be able to do this you need to eat a lot of protein, I recommend at least 2 gram per kilo bodyweight. If you do this you will be able to gain muscles and loose fat a lot more easy.

Eat many times each day

Eat for example, 5 times each day instead of 3. Eaint multiple meals each day will make your body burn fat faster then if you eat only 3 times each day. Your body will then use energy to turn the food you eat into energy all day long instead of only doing so a few hours 3 times each day.
