Arnold Schwarzenegger Admitted Steroid Usage

admin — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 18:56:00 +0000

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 diet in preparation for a contest.”

1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger on steroid usage: “I don’t worry about it, because I never took an overdosage.”

1992 Arnold Schwarzenegger on steroid usage: “In those days you didn’t have to deal with the black market when you needed steroids. You could go to your physician and just say, ‘Listen, I want to gain some weight, and I want to take something.’ Then the physician would say, ‘Do it six weeks before competition, then it will be safe.’ And that’s what you would do. The steroid dosage that was taken then versus taken now by bodybuilders is not even 10 percent. It’s probably 5 percent.”

1996 Arnold Schwarzenegger on steroid usage: “I used steroids. It was a risky thing to do, but I have no regrets. It was what I had to do to compete. The danger with steroids is overusage. I only did it before a difficult competition – for two months, but not for a period of time that could harm me. And then afterward, it was over. I would stop. I have no health problems, no kidney damage or anything like that from using steroids.”

Dental Caries or Tooth Decay in Bodybuilding

admin — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 18:34:17 +0000

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.

Once bacteria from the dental caries (tooth decay) gets into the blood, it weakens the heart and lead to diseases like endocarditis or myocarditis and if you get one of these diseases from the dental caries (tooth decay) you should know that strong effort in the gym it is not recommended..

So bodybuilding and building big muscles are out of the question because your heart gets very stimulated during training with very heavy weights thus leading to its failure if you have a disease like endocarditis or myocarditis due to dental caries (tooth decay).

Do visit your dentist once at 6 months!

Shin Splints, Severe Muscle Pain

admin — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 14:14:50 +0000

A friend of mine told me that, after running for a while his shins started to hurt pretty bad with a combination of tightness,ache and numbness all together. He even stopped running due to the shin hurting so bad.

He asked me:

Is there anything I can do to reduce the pain from those shin splints (stretching, massage, etc)?

Will running with smaller steps decrease the shin splints from hurting this much?

Well.. it depends on the severity of that “ouchhh my shin hurts!!”, although you should go to a doctor.

Shin splints are basically little fractures all along you shin and those hurting shin splints can be caused by more factors that meaning you can get a different diagnosis as another person.

Diagnosis:

Overused muscle: The muscle pain is caused by any activity that involves running, jumping, also sometimes even walking (especially on concrete). Untreated shin splints can lead to a stress reaction mid-shaft in the tibia, which can eventually lead to a stress fracture.

Pes Planus: Pes Planus or ‘flat foot’ is a leading cause of Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome or more commonly medial shin splints. Flat feet causes the posterior tibialis and other muscles of the medial shin to become overstretched, weakened, and inflamed. This is cyclical. The more the muscle(s) is overstretched, the weaker and more inflamed it becomes.

Chronic compartment syndrome: CCS (mimics anterior shin splints) occurs when swelling within the indistensible anterior compartment of the leg reduces blood flow. This relative lack of oxygen, ischemia, can cause more swelling and generate a positive feedback loop. In severe cases the result can be acute compartment syndrome (ACS) which requires emergency surgery to prevent ischemic muscle necrosis due to lack of blood.

Tingling in the foot is a particular red flag; it indicates compression of the nerve and it can cause severe problems for that apparently shin splint!

Treatment for Shin Splints:
In some minor cases, the best thing for shin splints is just plain rest in the legs. It may take weeks or months of healing depending on different cases of shin splints.

you can do some calf stretches flexing your toe up until you feel tension in your shins as a treatment

rub some icy hot or tiger balm on it and if the pain gets worse there is also arthritis hot which is like icy hot but better

many doctors suggest also stretching the muscles from the hamstrings as a treatment, after warming up, because tight hamstrings can lead to problems such as shin splints.

buy yourself special shoes with high arch if you have flat feet (pes planus)

Bodybuilding off season bodybuilder photos

Today i will talk about off season bodybuilders in bodybuilding and i will show you a big collection of photos with a majority of bodybuilders that are also very known.

What is a off season bodybuilder?

Well, the term of off season is used for that period of time that is far away from bodybuilding competitions, approximately 4-5 months before them when the real bodybuilder`s nightmare begins with diets and lots of cardio.

Competitive bodybuilders try to make muscle gains in the off season (when they are not close to a bodybuilding competition, as seen in the photos below) and before the bodybuilding competitions (2-3 months before) they start losing body fat while keeping as much muscle as they can.

Off season training is geared towards gaining the most muscle size (as seen in the photos). Bodybuilding off season workouts are done hard and heavy by bodybuilders, using mostly basic exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench press, press over head, curls, etc.

Also the off season is a good time for trying new training techniques, supplements, etc. just look at the photos and you will be amazed of the mass bodybuilders gain in the off season.

Cam Gigandet`s Workout and Diet Plan

admin — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 16:32:27 +0000

Today i will talk about Cam`s workout and diet plan.
Cam Gigandet is skinny compared to bodybuilders but he has a conditioned body and women adore this kind of physique.
He`s just like a model in fashion magazines with a refined physique and crisp abs.

He had a small career as a football player (quarterback) but he realized that he doesn`t like it so much and his favorite exercises are swimming, and at the gym clean and jerks (he doesn`t master them).

Cam Gigandet`s workout routine

Cam got to a 6-8% body fat and he held it still for a few months by having a great workout.His workout is bodybuilder styled but he trains his physique with light weights and a lot of reps.It`s good that i found out what weights he uses in his muscle building routine.

Monday- Chest

3 sets– 25 push-ups

3 sets– nautilus presses (45 kg, 55 kg, 65 kg)

3 sets– nautilus incline presses (55 kg, 65 kg, 70 kg)

3 sets– pec deck machine (40 kg, 45 kg, 50 kg)

Cam Gigandet`s Diet Plan

He uses a high protein, low carbohydrate diet to get that lean. If you want to have a ripped and shredded physique you need to eat high protein foods and choose from healthy fat sources.
Throw away the basic carbs like: cereals, bread, bagels, pasta and replace them with vegetables. This diet will help you eat more without adding more calories and thus making your path to get lean, shredded and ripped more easier!

As you can see from Cam Gigandet`s workout and diet plan, you don’t necessarily need to gain that much muscle just some resistance training to maintain your actual mass.

Try to increase muscle performance and drop weight by working out!

Bicep injuries

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:59:13 +0000

A bicep injury can take you by surprize when you work your bicep too much, strain it too hard or another way to make a bicep injury is when you`re using poor form.

There are two types of bicep injury:

a tear of the bicep tendon around the shoulder area

a tear of the bicep muscle around the elbow

A tear of the bicep tendon around the shoulder area-this type of bicep injury is common in older men and is caused by arthritic changes.

A tear of the bicep muscle around the elbow-this bicep injury is the one you’re more likely to see in gyms and it`s developed when men attempt to lift heavy weights with a muscle that is not correctly warmed up. When it occurs or if it occurs, the pain is instant and sometimes you can hear a pop of the bicep muscle, followed by a bruising.

If you`re unlucky and get this type of bicep muscle injury stop immediately and seek professional advice!

Risk of bicep injury
Men under their 30`s have a small chance of bicep injury, but those over 35 (years) have a great risk of getting a bicep injury.They must start their bicep training with a very light weight, don’t just go straight into a heavy weight routine.

How to prevent a bicep injury
If you want to prevent a bicep injury just warm them properly before starting your workout. Do some empty bar bicep curls 20-40 are enough, and don`t jump into a heavy training routine if you don`t have at least 6 months of training.

Bicep injury rehabilitation
After a bicep injury, you have to take it very slowly at the gym. The most important thing that you need to know:

Use light weights no matter what

for at least 3 weeks use just dumbbells in your bicep workout

Ups `n Downs in Bodybuilding Part 2

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:03:48 +0000

After 5-6 more months of training i`ve started putting some muscles and i met a girl. We started talking and we hooked up.I don`t know how i let her do it, but she made me forget about my dream of bodybuilding and she was rather jealous and that fact made me lose many opportunities. With the time passing by i`ve noticed that i`ve been skipping meals because i stood with her everyday and didn`t have the time to eat. That little factor made me lose about 50% of what i`ve achieved in the gym, so money and health gone for nothing.
After the usual things that happened in our relationship, like:

often fights

her unusually strong jealousy

catching her cheating on me

I decided: “No More!” and i broke off with her.

And you know what?

Every bad thing has an opposite effect!

My ex-girlfriends sister had a boyfriend and he was a K1 fighter that enjoyed bodybuilding as much as i did.(let`s call him Jim)
Jim was older than me and he had the answers for everything. I was sad after my separation with my girlfriend but he took me “under his wing” and told me all kinds of bodybuilder secrets that he learned in years of bodybuilding. We were also gym partners and Jim really had a huge impact on me.
Ohh another thing that i forgot to say; I was the kind of guy that talked a lot especially during training yeah yeah, that guy that you hate in the gym that just comes to talk and Jim was a little bit harsh or severe with me but i understood the fact that he was trying to make me focus on building muscles, not on talking and jerking around.

So he disciplined me and was a good friend.

I admire Jim, he really knows what he wants from life and takes it with a full hand.
But one day i decided that i want to take steroids, i thought i could be more happy and feel better about me but i will tell you about those steroids in another part ( to be continued)
