  • 6. Abdominal Crunches
  • Crunches can be excellent, but if they're not done correctly, with the back arching, they can actually weaken the abdominals," Petersen says.
  • The trouble is that poor form can change the whole exercise, putting emphasis or even strain on different areas than intended. This can hurt, rather than help you.
  • Here's how to do it with good form. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, then bend knees and flex forward at the hips. (If you have trouble doing this exercise standing up, support your weight by sitting on an incline bench, facing backward.) Tilt your pelvis slightly forward, engage the abdominals, and extend your upper spine to add support. Hold dumbbells or barbell beneath the shoulders with hands about shoulder-width apart. Flex your elbows, and lift both hands toward the sides of your body. Pause, then slowly lower hands to the starting position. (Beginners should perform the move without weights.)

Should I be having protein bars, after I workout? - 1 views

shared by Gurkirat S on 09 Jan 12 - No Cached

    There are good protein bars for you and bad protein bars. To distinguish the difference, good protein bars would contain things like less sugar and have high carbohyrdrates and proteins. But something that is even better than protein bars, is protein shakes because shakes are digested faster by your body than solid food. Also you have more control over the protein shake than a bar, due to the fact, you can make your protein shake from scratch and know what's being put into it. Only good thing about protein bars is that they are convienent when you don't have time to whip up a protein shake. Another way is you don't need to have protein bars nor shakes, you can simply take natural alternatives like nuts, which are high in protein, healthy and convienent too.

  • If you want to build muscle you need to do two things. You must lift weights and you have to eat a healthy muscle building diet.
  • Healthy diets for muscle building require you to consume more calories. Of course this only applies if you are already fit and trying to gain muscle mass. It does not apply if you are overweight and trying to lose a few pounds.
  • For a rough estimate of daily calories you should consume for a muscle building diet, multiply your body weight in pounds by 20.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Protein intake must be increased
  • Fats are also essential to healthy diets for muscle building, but these should be healthy fats such as olive oil, flaxseed oil and nuts
  • Cut out sugary drinks like soft drinks and alcohol.
  • Whey protein powder is especially effective for muscle building and easy to consume. A scoop of whey protein dissolves easily in water or milk.

Youth Sports Training - Strength Training & The Young Athlete - 0 views

shared by Justin D on 23 Nov 11 - No Cached
  • Justin D on 09 Jan 12
     
    There are several factors to consider when programming strength training for young athletes. - 1. Central Nervous System Maturity - The true argument with respect to children and weight lifting should not be based on the maturity (or in this case immaturity) of the child's muscular system, but rather the advancement of the child's CNS. Within proper application of load, volume and intensity, a child's muscular system will not be compromised by weight training activities. However, a lack of motor control (a function of the CNS) will affect the child's ability to perform weight-training exercises safely. It is therefore the maturity of the CNS that is the ultimate determining factor. 2. Cross Section Of Muscle - A larger muscle infers a greater strength potential. While hypertrophy of this sort is not hormonally possible with pre-adolescent athletes, this fact is why I advocate that early adolescent athletes train with hypertrophy-based responses in mind. 3. Biological Maturity - Biological age, unlike a child's chronological age, is not actually visible. Biological age is based in large part to the "physiological development of the various organs and systems in the body" (Bompa, 2000). For example, the adequate development of bone, the efficiency of the heart and lungs to transport oxygen; these are examples of items that comprise biological age. This becomes important when determining the volume or intensity of the training program for the young athlete. 4. Hormonal Issues - Androgenic (muscle building) hormones are low in pre-adolescent athletes. This means that hypertrophy-based responses are all but impossible. Strength gains are however, very possible. 5. Technical Issues - Providing a proper foundation of the technical merits of strength training is paramount when working with youngsters.

    Lift weights to gain lean muscle mass. Work each muscle group on your body two to three times per week through a combination of resistance methods, such as weight machines, barbells and dumbbells. The main muscle groups are as follows: legs and glutes, core, chest, back, shoulders and arms.
