Muscle Turns To Fat Myth From Gyms

"Bodybuilding is bad for you what do you realize when working out? If you stop working out the muscle turns into fat!" This statement is ridiculous just like saying to a professional race car driver that the engine from his car will attack him :| or whatever, you understand the analogy i hope :). There is no biological pathway for muscle to "turn into fat" but like all myths, this one has a grain of truth. if you stop working out you lose strength and muscle mass, and that`s a fact. exercise...

How to shape muscles myths

What exercise can i do to make my biceps look sharper, or what exercise can i do to make my lower pec to give that massive drooping slab of pectoral muscle? Well these are really just "how to shape muscles myths" The truth is you can`t shape muscles, you can only make the whole muscle bigger or smaller, to quote a fitness expert: A muscle is just like a rubber band, it provides a pulling motion between its two attach points. You can make that muscle bigger or smaller with exercise but yo...

Arnold Schwarzenegger Admitted Steroid Usage

Statements from Arnold Schwarzenegger himself about steroid usage during a period of time. 1974 Arnold Schwarzenegger on steroid usage: "I take steroids because they help me an extra 5 percent. Women take the (contraception) pill. They are somewhat similar. I do it under a doctor's supervision." 1977 Arnold Schwarzenegger on steroid usage: "Yes I have used steroids, but no, they didn't make me what I am. Anabolic steroids were helpful to me in maintaining muscle size while on a strict di...

A Big Breakfast for Big Muscle Gains

Breakfast is your post workout meal but also probably the most important meal of the day to promote muscle growth. After hours of fasting your body is primed to absorb and utilise far more nutrients than it is able to at other times from the meals in that day. Blood glucose levels are low, muscle glycogen and amino acid stores are low and your body will be in a state of dehydration, you are like a zombie. When you eat that breakfast, your body will release a hugely anabolic hormone called in...

Overweight and out of shape trainers in gyms

I have always believe that the best way to learn how to proper workout and keep a proper diet is through experience in time. To me, exercise and nutrition are very important. When I see a fitness trainer that is extremely overweight or out of shape, I question how they could understand what it really takes to have healthier lifestyle. Fitness trainers gained enough knowledge and information from text sources to have an idea but, to me, without experiencing it from day to day, you can never truly...

A Clove of Garlic raises your Testosterone Levels

The stinking rose, the garlic, has been shown to raise testosterone levels, a key hormone in muscle growth and strength. Garlic has an additional benefit because it lowers cortisol levels. Cortisol is an catabolic hormone, an adversary of testosterone, as the two compete for the same growth-stimulating sites within muscle cells. Cortisol causes the breakdown of muscle protein. Since garlic stimulates testosterone and inhibits cortisol, it has great potential as an anabolic agent (just like st...

The Ectomorph

The ectomorph physique is a fragile and delicate one. The bones of an ectomorph are light, joints are small and muscles are slight. The limbs are long in proportion and the shoulders droop. The ectomorph is a linear physique. Straight up and straight down, and may appear longer than he or she really is, due to the length of limbs coupled with lack of muscle mass developed on those limbs. The ectomorph is not naturally powerful and will have to work hard for every ounce of muscle and every bit of...

Barbell and Dumbbell Rows to Build a Bigger Back

Row Row Row your boat, let`s go down the sea.. what am i talking about here? Do you want a bigger and thicker back? Try implementing some "rows" to your routine because building a great back without at least one rowing exercise in your routine it is not possible! Every type of row is a compound lift, which means it stresses numerous muscles simultaneously. Chin ups, pull downs and pullovers force you to do the former, and rowing emphasizes the latter. Due to the mechanics of these motions, t...

Dental Caries or Tooth Decay in Bodybuilding

Dental caries (tooth decay) can affect your heart if you keep them untreated and can destroy your dream to become the best bodybuilder, so goodbye bodybuilding. If you have dental caries (tooth decay), the gums become more sensitive, they bleed and bacteria reaches the arteries.
