  • Increase Your Muscle Mass With Digestive Enzymes
    If you could find out about a way to get much more out of the food you are already eating, allowing you to gain muscle weight at a faster rate, would you be interested?

    The factor we are going to consider here is if cardio burns a significant amount of calories, hence lose weight / burn fat, while performing the aerobic activity.

  • Will Raising My Growth Hormone Help Me Build Muscle Mass?
    I'm reading a lot lately about training techniques that supposedly raise your natural growth hormone (GH) to help you gain weight / build muscle mass. Techniques such as super sets, drop sets, static holds, high volume, very high reps, pumping, and circuit training are claiming to be the way to "naturally" raise this hormone in the body.

    Does cardio significantly raise the body’s “metabolic rate”? First off, the metabolic rate, in very simple terms, is basically the rate / speed and amount of calories that your body will burn, whether doing something or at rest. So, in other words, someone that has a hard time losing weight more than likely has a very slow metabolic rate…….since their body burns a low amount of calories and very slowly.

  • To Gain Muscle, All Pros Do Only 1 Set!
    Every pro bodybuilder does only 1 set per exercise to failure to gain muscle mass.....whether they say so or not. I'm going to answer one of the most asked, most contradicted questions about how to train to gain weight around: "How many sets does it take to gain muscular size and development?"'
  • Does Thermogenesis Help You Lose Weight Fast?
    One of the many reasons everyone and their mother seems to recommend eating a high protein diet to lose weight and burn fat is because of this "thermogenic" effect. People are under the misconception that you can lose a lot of weight real fast without if you eat a high protein diet. This is because protein DOES have a thermogenic effect on the body...........but not enough to make an impact!

  • Pumping or Pounding to Build Muscle Mass?
    There are pretty much 2 schools of thought in how to gain muscle weight: you are either a "pumper", meaning you do a lot of sets for a lot of reps, using lower weights, and you go after the "pump". Or, you are a "pounder", meaning you do a low number of sets, a lower rep range, but you use as much weight as possible, so you are more concerned with getting stronger than getting a pump.
  • Protein is NOT the Best Food to Lose Weight
    I spoke about why it is NOT true that protein is what makes up most of the lean muscle weight on your body. Today, I'm going to write a little about the 2nd myth: that eating high amounts of fats or carbs (as opposed to eating high protein) is going to make you look like a little ball of lard (fat). Let me make one point really clear, if your goal is to lose weight and burn fat, eating low amounts of fats or carbs IS NOT the way to go!

    There are all kinds of diet recommendations all over the bodybuilding magazines, fad diet books, and websites that advise to divide your eating into different "ratios" and "percentages" for weight loss and fat burning. But the one thing that each and every one of these "weight loss" / "fat burning" diets say is it must be HIGH in protein. It is NOT necessary at all to eat a diet high in protein to lose weight.
