Bodybuilding.com - The Top 25 Ways To Pack On Serious Mass! - 2 views

  • What did you just say? Eat 6 times per day? Yes, that's right! Don't think that you are going to gain quality size eating 3 square meals per day. The only type of mass you will put on eating this way will be the fat type, and this is not our objective. There is no way that you can reach your caloric or your macronutrient needs eating 3 meals per day. If by some magical reason you can eat them in 3 meals, than you will be so full and bloated, you won't be able tie up your own shoes let alone pound out some heavy deadlifts.
  • Water is very important for many reasons. Water is good for you believe it or not. It has many health and performance benefits. It keeps your organs functioning properly, clears toxins, reduces excess sodium from your body, and it hydrates your muscle cells. It even liberates fat stores on your body so they are burned off as an energy source. Dehydration will cause a major decrement in performance. Even a 2% state of dehydration will cause your performance to go out the window

  • Consume Enough Protein "I eat enough protein. I probably ate around 50 grams today." Now if this sounds like you, we are in some serious trouble. That is unless you are a 60-pound child whose major energy expenditure for the day is playing with your Tonka Trucks. Ok, down to the serious stuff here. If you don't eat optimal amounts of protein, you will never put on the muscle mass that you so much desire. You are also hindering your strength gains as well. If you are going up a weight class and you aren't eating the proper amount of protein, guess what?
  • have some of my athletes consume between 1.25-1.5 grams of protein per pound when trying to pack on size.
  • # 5 Maximize Your Carbohydrate Intake
  • # 6 Bump Up Your Fat Intake
  • Milk…It does a body good! You should have known this would be on the list. Milk is the drink of all strength champions throughout history.
  • I knew you would like this one. What true powerlifter wouldn't? Now again, don't get me wrong here. The point is that you should increase you lean meat consumption during a mass phase. Note I said lean meat consumption. This doesn't include bacon, ham, sausage, deli meats, beef jerky, or pepperoni sticks.

Protein Info - How Much Protein Do You Need - 1 views

  • But shouldn’t protein intake be a percentage of total calories? Quite a few programs and nutritionists quote percentage of calories, usually in the range of 10 percent to 20 percent, as a way to figure out how much protein a person needs to consume daily. This is a rough estimate of a person's minimum protein needs. It works because typically, larger and more active people need more calories, so the more calories they need, the more protein they will get.
  • What foods have the most protein? Meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and nuts all have substantial amounts of protein. These articles can help:

shared by Wasif H on 05 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • When you think of bodybuilding and fitness in general what is the first thing to come to mind? For most people it is having the abs. The 6-pack is what all the guys visualize when it comes to losing fat or even building muscle. Having abs is supposed to be what attracts the ladies to those men who are among the gym's elite.
  • Hopefully now you will take ab training more seriously and as such, get on a good ab routine. Fortunately Bodybuilding.com has you covered with this plan that will help you develop the abdominals. This program includes performing 400 reps every week to ensure your abs are getting trained hard and proper. 400 reps may seem like a lot but it is going to take a lot of reps to blast the core the way it needs to be.
  • The 400 Rep Ab Workout Exercise 1 Rope Cable Crunch 5 sets of 20 reps 90 seconds rest between sets Exercise 2 Reverse Crunch 5 sets of 20 reps 90 seconds rest between sets Exercise 3 Seated Barbell Twist 5 sets of 40 reps 90 seconds rest between sets Exercise 4 Stomach Vacuum 3 sets of 20-60 sec reps 30 seconds rest between sets

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

    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.

      This website shows how even healthy foods have many calories but are way better to eat than foods that are high in calories. One main example is the difference between the amount of calories in nuts and seeds vs. junk food. For example, macadamia buts have 718 calories. Yet they are full of vitamns, minerals and healthy fibers and fats. On the other hand, junk food is very high in calories but are also very unhealthy.

  • 1. Running

  • 2. Rowing
  • 3. Swimming
  • Not only do these three exercises burn the most calories in 30 minutes (avg. 300 for a 145 pound person), but they also build muscle and tone your entire body
  • Walking, biking and even using the elliptical trainer will not work your body as hard or as well, because those exercises target your lower body and leave your upper body hanging out and doin’ nothing.
  • If you don’t even have 30 minutes in your action-packed schedule to get to the gym, try jumping rope
  • but 10 minutes of jumping rope can burn up to 200 calories
  • It is really easy to find excuses not to work out, but try and squeeze these exercises into your day. You’ll feel better, look better, and give yourself a much needed break from catching up on all the reading you’re somehow already behind on even though it’s only the first day of class.

  • The teens’ elevated cholesterol rates had the greatest increase, accelerating from nine to 16 per cent in six years. “An increase of this magnitude in this age group is astonishing,” says Dr. Abramson. “These risk factor levels will continue to increase and track into adulthood unless we do something now. These children are in grave danger.”
