Description:
I know that I am best known for my unique exercises and novel training programs, but sometimes you have to rely on the basics. That's especially true when a basic program works as well a this one. Of course, I have taken the basic, but very effective program and tweaked it to perfect it's effectiveness and to maximize the results you get. These results include greater strength, bigger muscles, and less body fat. And I'll teach you how to tweak the program and your diet to maximize either strength and muscle gain or fat loss. But of course, you can also work on all three!

First lets identify the diff erence. Gaining Muscles simply means that you are executing movement that stress the muscle enough to recruit more muscle fi bers thus making these muscles grow larger. When you exercise you

are not building muscle during the actual training session. As a matter of fact your are doing quite the opposite. You are tear-ing up the muscle fi bers. Your body actually reacts the same way when you sprain your wrist, twist an ankle or injure another body part. It sends Blood and oxygen directly to the area the “trauma” occurred making it swell and look discolored. In a lot of ways this is “sort of” what happens when you train within the muscle (except your not actually injuring to the extent of causing trauma like in an actual injury unless you rupture the muscle from too much force). Your body is sending blood and oxygen into the muscles that are being emphasized which gives you the “pump”. Taking certain sup-plements such as Nitric Oxide boosters actually help this process occur at a higher rate which is why most products on the market will market that “NO Pump” you will get by taking their products.

When working out, lifting, training, exercising or however you want to cat-egorize it, we all are striving for a goal. For the most part, the majority of us want to be as lean, hard, muscular and toned as possible. For the most part we want that rock hard physique. More Muscle and less fat right? In order to do that we must truly understand there are many ways to train which

are mostly dictated by our goal and abilities. What I off er in the content that follows are a set of tips, rules, and guidelines that focus on the techniques,

workouts, and ideas behind shaping your physique the way you want.

During rest or when you are not training, there is a certain time period of op-timal rest your body goes through when repairing itself. During this repair phase is when your body recruits more muscle fi -bers to adapt to the strain you just put it through. The muscle soreness you feel or DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) kicks in. This is the time when your muscles are in fact in the repairing phase and building up more muscle fi bers and enhanc-ing the structure of the muscle cell. This is where the muscle growth hap-pens. During this time is when the muscle recruits more muscle fi bers so they can adapt and "be ready" for the next time you put it through this strain. In a typical set-ting you would want to train these muscles again within a 48 hour period to get the best chance at even more muscle growth, however that is where goals need to be applied in order to structure the plan that is right for you.

Muscles will adapt to the loads or stresses you put on them.

This adaptation enables the muscle to repair itself to be stronger the next time around. The same can be said for other parts of the body such as Bone or the Skeletal system. This is known as Wolff 's Law. In this Law, it states that like in Nature we all adapt to the stresses that are put on the body. Wolff 's law was declared by a man named Julius Wolff . Now, Wolff 's Law primarily focused on Bone structure, but we can be apply this adaption phi-losophy when thinking of muscle structure as well. If a Tree is in an environ-ment with high winds it would have to have strong branches and deep roots in order to survive, much less thrive. The Tree would have grown to be able to sustain the windy environ-ment, so like a tree that has strong branches and deep roots, our bodies react the same way when we want to grow muscle. We must constantly put our muscles in an environ-ment of strain and forces that are not the norm if we want to see a change in how they grow or look.

**In Growing Muscle, think of stacking bricks. The more muscle growth the more bricks. However, how we want those bricks to look, and start to take shape, means we have to be meticulous on how we build that Structure which leads right into Sculpting the muscle.

Now that we have defi ned Muscle Growth, we need to look at how to Sculpt our muscles. This is more compli-cated than one might think. After all, how we sculpt our muscles all comes down to one simple thing. YOU and YOUR GOAL. Some of us want to be as big as possible, some lean, some want bigger arms, shredded abs, a great backside, round shoulders etc....These are all the details that we constantly look to fi nd answers on how to get the results we want.

Before you think that if you want bigger arms then all you have to do is curl a bunch of weight, or if you want round-ed shoulders press a bunch of weight, etc.., then think again. Every single movement in the gym must be done with a clear and precise goal in mind, of which exact mus-cles and parts of that muscle need to be emphasize. This is where an understanding of Biomechanics comes into play. I like to refer to biome-chanics as the mechanical engineering of the body. There is a right way to make this machine move for best

optimal results, and a wrong way, but it all depends on what you want this machine to do and how you want it to perform. I truly dont like to say NEVER do something in the gym, but rather ask WHY you would be doing it, except when there is a clear lack of understanding of form and technique applied.

Lets say you want nice well developed shoulders. Do you know which angle is best or which exercises are best in order to hit the Lateral Del-toid head responsible for the round look you want to achieve? How about building a bigger peak in the arms? Do you understand that the bicep is made up of 2 heads, and that hand placement and how you curl puts a dif-ferent load on each head dif-ferently? Did you know that the Long head is responsible for higher peak while the shorter head is responsible for girth and width?

Sculpting Muscle simply means that you are look-ing for areas you specifi cally want to target and develop them to your own personal specifi cations. Understanding proper biomechancs or how the muscles move and how each movement directly re-lates to HOW you get results is extremely important.

An easy way to look at your nutrition if you are not much of a nutritionist or have a good idea at what you are eating re-ally comes down to some simple things to be aware of. Follow these rules and you should be within your range of your nutri-tional recommended meals and calories.

Eating for Rock Hard MusclesRock Hard Muscles

Taking Supplements for Rock Hard MusclesRock Hard MusclesThere are many supplement manufactures out there with so many lines of product suggesting they help you achieve a vast majority of things that is can be very confusing as to what to take and where to turn.

Lets look at the basics. In this position I see all of these products and have our favorites of course and have had the luxury of trying pretty much everything on the market. Here's the basic scoop on taking product. Protein, BCAA's, and daily multi vitamins are a must. Pre workout, Nitic Oxide, Creatine, Test Booster Products, specialty categories a choice. Fat Burners, Muscle Gain

Products and Performance enhancers are an op-tion for your goals.

These are all things you must consider and that is why you come to the Workout Trainer. In this Feature my hope is to off er you a variety of Videos, techniques, tips and workout plans that give you the basic essentials of how to sculpt and target each major muscle group of the body, and get Rock Hard Muscles. In the end you should be more versed in how to achieve results. Once you have this basic understanding, the next step is to sign up to the trainer, create an account and follow the workouts outlined.

1.) Start eating 5 or more meals a day.

Sounds like this would be the opposite of how to lose weight, but what happens is that you need to start out by consuming break-fast but in the amount that allows you to put something in your system to kick start your metabolism for the day. Much like a warm up set before hitting it hard in the gym, Breakfast actually means breaking the fast from not eating during your sleep time. From there, think of eating a breakfast, lunch, and dinner with 2 snacks in between. Typically you would want these snacks to come as a pre and post workout meal. Of course depending on your workout time during the day this can vary.

The major 3 Meals- Breakfast, lunch and din-ner should not be the traditional full blown, stuff yourself until you cant move meals, but rather start eating just at the point until you are no longer hungry. Simple rule here to remember is to eat less, but eat often.

2.) Eat Like a Caveman

Start thinking as a caveman would and what they would have access to and eat it. So lets think like a caveman for a minute. They had more access to greens, fruit when it was in season, and meat and when they could kill it. So By trying to eat this way you will fi nd yourself staying away from the foods you shouldn’t be eating, processed and one hit wonder meals. In 1 week of follow-ing this tip and the 5 or more meal per day rule, your not only gonna look better, but you will feel better too.
