Six Pack Secrets to Chiseled Abdominals

bodybuilding post workout


There are six basic aspects of any abdominal workout routine you must master to obtain the six pack abs you have been chasing. You can do crunches until you toss your dinner and not meet your goal of a beautiful set of six pack abs. You have to use a comprehensive approach that addresses nutrition (diet), water intake, supplementation, exercises protocol, proper sleep rhythms, and the detoxification of your body. If you do all of these things you will acquire a six pack of abs and a nice set of obliques to frame around them.

Nutrition

It does not mater what your workout goal is, you will never obtain a set of defined abs if you do not eat properly. I am not talking about just skipping the fast food crap. I mean carbs, protein, and the right time to load up on each.

If you have extra weight to lose, you should be careful not to restrict your calories to much when working out. Just restrict the starchy carbs and useless calories like all sugars.

If you restrict calories too much you will lose muscle and water, not the fat cells you want to shed. Eating a meal that contains complex carbohydrates like rice, pasta, bagels, fresh fruit, or baked potatoes about 30-60 minutes before your workout will provide a more sustained energy level and the carbohydrates that you need to keep your blood sugar level up. Also consume organic food whenever possible.

What you eat after your workout is just as important as what your have before. You are going to need the same types of carbohydrates, but you will need to add some protein for muscle repair and growth. I would suggest a recovery meal.

The recovery meal serves two purposes: 1) It replaces lost carbs and influences the amount of cortisol (a hormone which reacts to stress) your body will release. 2) It loads up amino acids into your muscle to begin the re-building of muscle tissue. If you miss this window of opportunity you will not gain muscle and lose body fat as fast.

Cortisol – Increases blood pressure, blood sugar and reduces immune responses.

All Mighty Water

Hydration is an often overlooked aspect of all workout routines. If you do not consume enough water while working out or for that matter during your entire day you have wasted your time and may have caused damage to yourself. Not enough water equals dehydration.

Drinking sugary/sports drinks, caffeinated beverages only dehydrate your body quicker. You should try to drink 7 to 10 ounces of room temperature water every 20 minutes while working out.

Water helps to regulate your body temperature; deliver oxygen to your muscle tissues by keeping blood volume elevated. It also assists the kidneys in removing biological wastes, and enhances with fat burning and muscle growth. A good rule to follow is to drink ½ of your body weight in ounces per day.

Supplements

If you are considering taking a supplement to put on a little more muscle, it’s important to take stock of your lifestyle before forking over a dime. If you’re not eating right, getting enough sleep, cutting back on stress and exercising regularly, meaning at least a couple of times a week, supplements are not going to do a whole lot for you.

You cannot expect to slack elsewhere and have these pills or powders make it up for you. You have protein powder, creatine, glutamine, multi-vitamins, fish oils and amino acids to start with.

Protein is the most recognized muscle building supplement in the world. It is available in whey, soy, casein, and egg. Which is best for you? Whey – I would stay away from soy and use hemp if you are a vegetarian. Use what is available to you. You will want to look at your goal for your protein first.

Each of these four is absorbed at a different pace. Whey is great for a post-workout meal because it is absorbed within 30 minutes. Then comes egg and casein (milk) which are absorbed over a period of 1.5 to 7 hours. Either of these before bed will provide a great source of protein for muscle repair and growth while you sleep. Soy protein is an overall source, but due to the estrogenic proprieties of soy I would use hemp milk instead. Most serious bodybuilders/athletes will take a combination of all of these protein supplements for maximum benefit.

Creatine is a naturally occurring substance in your body. The basics behind creatine supplements are that they cause an increase in the amount of ATP (the main energy source for muscles) in your body. More ATP means more reps and sets at higher weight. This means quicker muscle building. This supplement should be cycled though. It is best to take it for four weeks and then take two weeks off.

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissues. It helps to eliminate muscle wasting and improve your muscles recovery time. Amino acid supplements should always contain branched-chain amino acids to give you better results. Make sure that you do not take creatine and glutamine at the same time. They compete for receptors on muscle cells and will cancel each other out. Take glutamine pre-workout and creatine post-workout.

The reasons to take a multi-vitamin are obvious. A lack in any mineral or vitamin can really hamper your progress and limit muscle growth and retention. You really cannot neglect any of the supplements and expect top results.

Exercises

A full program of muscle development is obvious to get a set of abs. Simple routines that you will adhere to work the best. An overall program plus a good core workout that includes movements for the abs are all important in obtaining six pack abs. Abdominal exercises that will lead you to six pack abs and a set of well defined obliques to frame it.

Sleep and Body Detoxification

You must get enough sleep, period. Your muscles grow and repair themselves during your sleep periods. Your energy stores and blood sugar levels restore themselves while you sleep. Depriving yourself of sufficient rest is the same as depriving yourself of muscle mass and definition.

Why workout if you are not going to have enough recovery time and end up wasting the effort. Detoxifying your body is important for the proper flow of nutrients to the muscles and the needed elimination of the by-products of muscle strain and growth. Driving these toxins out of your body will help to increase blood flow to the muscles. Every bodybuilder knows the benefits of a better blood flow.

In addition to eliminating the obvious bad guys like caffeine, alcohol, and fatty foods, you need to lower your stress levels. Meditation and “quiet times” are very helpful for overall body harmony.



Train the Right Whey

It is obvious that if you are seeking to improve your performance in a particular sport, athletic endeavor, or just interested in improving your physical fitness level that you must engage in regular and intense forms of exercise, and training. What is frequently overlooked though is that the degree to which an individual can adequately recover from exercise is crucial in determining overall success because the quicker you recover, the harder, and more frequently you can train. The harder you train, the faster you see results.

Many bodybuilders do not gain the amount of muscle mass they expect because they simply do not understand the importance of protein. Protein is the most important nutrient and needs to be present in the diet of a bodybuilder at all times in order for muscle growth to take place. Protein is found in almost every cell in your body, and no other nutrient has a larger job in keeping you alive and healthy. It is important for the growth and repair of your bones, tendons, skin, ligaments, hair, and eyes, in addition to your muscles. It also aids metabolism, digestion and other important bodily processes. Taking protein, post workout is absolutely crucial to preserve lean mass, and help repair muscle and connective tissue damage caused by strenuous activity.

It must be understood that protein balance is just as important as the training is in building muscle. It’s simple, if your body makes more muscle protein than you break down, your muscles will increase in size and strength. Conversely, if you break down more protein than your body makes, your muscles will tend to get smaller and weaker. A good protein balance will maximize your long awaited results.

On a daily basis you should consume adequate amounts of protein. High quality protein supplements in addition to a proper diet will load your body up with fuel for a work out. And remember post workout supplementing is just as important as the actual workout. Have a protein shake at the completion of your training session to help develop your muscles, and help repair the damage your body underwent to get ready for the next session. Some amino acids have also proven to be especially essential and effective for post workout recovery. For example L-Glutamine makes up approximately 60 percent of the amino acids in skeletal muscle. Also directly before bed, consume a drink containing both whey and a slow release protein like micellar casein. This combination of proteins will cause a steady release of amino acids during the period where your body fasts and repairs itself the most.

Do not waste your time in the gym by underestimating the importance of protein in your diet. Give your body what it needs to perform at its best.



How to Build Muscle in 3 Days

bodybuilding post workout


Muscle building, contrary to what you will read all over the internet, is not mysterious, and doesn’t require you to buy the secret formula or method to be able to do it. It is simple, basic and free. Pick any hour of any day to start. But know this. For the next 72 consecutive hours you will have to follow these steps, in order, and without any interruption to be successful.

In the first hour write down the weights you will do in the twenty sets of the workout I describe below. Also drink a pre workout shake that has twice the carbs as protein (BSN’s No-Xplode or Musletechs NaNo Vapor are excellent choices).

In the second hour you must go to the gym and workout, seriously, for that entire hour. Your workout must consist of 2 body parts (you chose) and no more. Your workout will involve 2 compound exercises, with the primary muscle of each being the two body parts you selected. A compound exercise works multiple muscles at the same time. An example would be choosing chest and back as your body parts. Your compound exercise choices would be bench press and seated row. You will also do 1 isolation move for each of the body parts. Continuing the example, we would go with flies for chest and single arm rows for back. Do 5 sets of each of the 4 exercises, pyramid with the forth set being the heaviest. Do 6 reps on the first 4 sets of each and on the fifth set go to total failure. Rest 90 seconds between sets.

In the third hour consume a post workout protein shake that has twice the protein as carbs (the exact reverse of the pre workout shake). Any protein powder or muscle milk will do (or a weight gainer like Cytosports Cytogainer if you are a hard gainer).

Hours 4 through 16 you will eat 4 meals of high protein, low carb, with each meal consisting of around 600 calories.

Hours 17- 24 you will sleep 8 hours. Hours 25 – 40 you need to eat 5 meals of 600 (high protein, low carb) calories each. Hours 41 – 48 you will drink a protein shake less than 30 minutes before bed and then sleep 8 full hours again. In hours 49 – 72 you repeat what you did in hours 25 – 48.

It has now been 72 hours. Your chest and back are bigger than they were 72 hours ago. Take the sheet where you wrote down your weights for each exercise in the beginning and in 1 set of each of the 4 exercises add 5% more weight, and do it again.

No mystery, no secret, no cost. Just a lot of discipline and hard gym time. Same as it has always been and always will be.

Whey protein is safe to take for most people but there is one major side effect. Now this isn’t a side effect in the sense you might think about medicine having on your body. In some ways it’s actually much more intense and can even change your appearance!

Are you ready for it? The main whey protein side effects are that you’re going to get pumped with more muscle mass!

When you work out you’re stressing your muscles. Micro tears are appearing in the tissues. Post workout, your body needs to recover and rebuild your muscles stronger and bigger than before. Of course it needs to get the raw materials to do this from somewhere.

This is where whey protein steps in.

Because whey protein is such a high quality protein source the main effect it will have on you is to go right to your muscles and start making them bigger.  In fact, scientists have not been able to find a single substance in nature that works as fast or as well as whey protein does for building muscle mass.

Are there actually any adverse whey protein side effects? Some people have allergies to dairy products or are lactose intolerant. Whey is a byproduct of cheese making, so unfortunately those with dairy sensitivities should avoid it. In this case, it would be wise to avoid whey protein and go for another protein source.

Of course, this all depends on you working out hard and eating well. There is no shortcut to the top – that only comes with hard work and dedication. When used with a good bodybuilding regimen, whey protein is the highest quality source of protein you can possibly get.



3 Crucial Times to Take Whey Protein

bodybuilding post workout


 

Whey protein is the king of all workout supplements. It is derived from milk during the process of making cheese. This protein digests very quickly and has a high bioavailability. Bioavailability is just a fancy name for your bodies ability to absorb and utilize a substance. Whey protein is used to stop muscle breakdown from one of two sources. First, around workouts and second, after fasting (i.e. after waking up.) Follow the times laid out below and you will be building lean muscle in no time.

Upon Wake Up: Getting a good nights rest is mandatory for gaining muscle. The draw back to sleeping for 7-8hrs is your body is starved for fuel during that time. This is why a whey protein shake is crucial within 30 minutes of waking up. This will stop the breakdown of amino acids from your muscles to fuel your body/brain and turn you into an anabolic state.

Pre-Workout: Before your workout it is a great idea to take a whey protein shake about 30 minutes before you start training. This is important because after your body burns all the stored glycogen in your muscles(stored carbs), amino acids from muscle breakdown are used for fuel. Taking protein will give your body amino acids to halt the break down of muscle during training.

Post-Workout: This is by far the most important time to supplement with whey protein. Take a protein shake immediately after the end of your training. This will give your body a quick shot of amino acids and begin the process of rebuilding broken down muscle tissue and start building new muscle mass.

Supplement whey protein at these times and you will start to build lean muscle without a doubt.

When it comes to bodybuilding, you need to know how to properly take care of your body through a correct diet, and good exercise. Let’s discuss how to build lean muscle mass through some very basic fundamentals.

The food that you put in your mouth is 70 to 80% of your fitness fat loss game. You are not going to lose the fat and build lean muscle if you are not monitoring what is going into your pie hole. Your post workout is extremely important. You have a 2 hour window to eat in order to get nutrients flowing quickly to your body parts in order to speed recovery of your muscles. Try to consume lean meats for protein or a protein shake 30 to 60 minutes after your intense workout to fuel the recovery process. 

As far as your workout you want to put your body in an intense workout. The more that you “stress out” your body the better. Try to workout at different times each day to “shock” the body. This will put it under tremendous stress, and the body will respond back by thinking, “We need more muscle to handle this!” Therefore the body will strengthen the muscles. Also keep in mind that good cardio is very important in building lean body mass. Instead of getting on a elliptical for 45 minutes on a constant pace, start at a fast jog with quick bursts up to a full sprint, and back to a jog. This is a great anabolic activator, which will burn the fat and at the same time harden the bodily muscle.

Working in the health and fitness industry as personal trainers and through simple observations I notice all the big mistakes guys constantly make. Let us briefly take a closer look at a few of these mistakes made by men from all over the world!

Mistake 1:Training Like A Professional Bodybuilder!

You are NOT a bodybuilder! Remember there’s a big difference between building a better body and body building. Bodybuilders have a distinct method of training that suits their genetics and their superior muscle building potential. When the majority of people use a bodybuilding program one of two things happens…

1. They get NO RESULTS and completely waste their time

2. They actually back pedal and get smaller and fatter!

‘But Why?’

These gifted individuals have the ability to train with a lot of volume and very little frequency and they can recover from it! i.e. they do dozens of straight sets and eat like a HORSE! (And let’s not forget to mention the extra chemical aids a lot of these individuals will use!) Now to the average lifter this means doing too much volume and breaking down more muscle than is possible for you to gain back when you are recovering, and then get fat from the amount of calories you consume in the hope that you will gain muscle.

Mistake 2: Using Workouts From The BIG Name “Muscle Magazines”!

The workouts you see in the ‘muscle mags’ are complete nonsense! They are fabricated by a writer who possibly has NO training experience. Do you honestly think the interview that goes along with the guy in the silly pants and nipple revealing low cut t-shirt is actually him? Afraid not, it is a magazine editor/writer copying workouts from past issues. Come on you know all the workouts are the same!

Mistake 3: Taking Training Advice From Your Local Gym Muscle Building Guru!

Ah yes, the local Hercules. He knows it all! Make sure you train twice a day and do forearms on a Monday morning and triceps on their own on a Thursday evening because your hormone profile is better then . . . COME ON! He is juiced and talking garbage. The guy he learned it from probably knows a bit but the information you are receiving is 2nd or 3rd hand information that has been passed down from meathead to meathead. DON’T LISTEN!

Mistake 4: Only Lifting Weights and Working The Beach Muscles (or mirror muscles)

Monday = Biceps, Tuesday = Chest, Wednesday = Biceps, Thursday = Chest . . etc.

Does that sound familiar? Yea its YOU training your mirror muscles! The ones you see from the front! Well there are two reasons why this is just plain stupid!

1. Your body will not let one bodypart develop too much if its opposing muscle isn’t developed at least nearly as much. i.e. as a safety mechanism your body will STALL chest development if you have a weak back. It makes sense . . you can exert more force pushing than pulling. Your body detects this and realises its at risk of injury so it inhibits growth.

2. Even if it were possible to just train these muscles you would LOOK ridiculous. You need to train the entire body for a leaner, more muscular look!

Mistake 5: Training With Either Really Low Reps or Really High Reps!

Training with low reps and high reps have their place but not in the following circumstances.

1. You are a nuisance and lift far heavier than you are able to! i.e. you cant even do one rep of the weight you are lifting and need a spotter CONSTANTLY. Lighting it up HE-MAN. You cant lift it!

2. You DO reps to failure with a silly little weight until you ‘feel a burn’ and you are under the illusion that this is hard training! Sorry! Join the aerobics class you will build more muscle there!

Mistake 6: Training Without A Properly Structured Training Plan

Saying you will train chest and triceps today does not constitute a plan!!! You NEED to have a weekly plan and monthly plan and even a quarterly plan, depending on your training level and seriousness about training. Now I do NOT mean writing down every rep and every set you do IN ADVANCE between now and Easter. But I am saying you must address your GOALS! Are you fat and still trying to build muscle when you could probably do with de-greasing and burning some bodyfat for a while and stop eating that full chicken and guzzling 8 protein shakes every day? Just a thought.

Mistake 7: Assuming Your Making Gains Because Your Bodyweight Is Increasing!

That’s most likely all that’s increasing, is your bodyweight! ‘I just want to be 200 pounds’ is a popular one in the gym . . sounds great. . but looks HORRIBLE in most instances! 3 cheers for the new guy in the 200 pound club who ate BIG MAC’s and ice cream and trained his chest 9 times every week for the last 2 years. He looks DISGUSTING! Yea that’s right. Being too caught up with that number is the main reason most trainee’s look ridiculous with their top off! They look ‘OK’ with a baggy sleeveless tank top but put them in a tight wife beater and you can see the MOOBS (MAN BOOBS) and that donut shaped belly button!

Mistake 8: Overdoing The DAMN Protein Shakes!

Having a shake in the morning then one at lunch with your fried chicken and then another after training and another after bed. . . ? You are going to get FAT. Now I’m not saying protein shakes make you fat but I am saying the accompanying 2000+kcals from the meals you had as well WILL! Have a protein rich meal and a post workout shake please! Your wasting money and storing fat!

Mistake 9: WASTING Your Money On Expensive and Useless Supplements!

‘Check this out lads I got the new ‘VASO JUDO PUMP 9000′ it makes you JACKED and PUMPED and DOUBLES STRENGTH, STRIPS FAT and makes you HOOOGE all at once and it also helps you LEVITATE and grow more FACIAL HAIR so you look UBER manly’ if you believe that sort of crap you deserve to be out of shape. STOP wasting your hard earned money please!

Mistake 10: Assuming That Woman Actually Like The RIDICULOUSLY HUGE Look!

Who really wants to be ridiculously HUGE? If you do, leave this website NOW. If you want to be lean and athletic and actually make physical improvements stay and read on. We aren’t plastic surgeons now so if you fell out of the ugly tree you stuck with that but we can however help you compensate. Ha, only joking I’m sure your not that bad. As you can see from our survey above 92.9% of women prefer the lean athletic look, not the big and bulky look. I don’t understand it I’d rather be able to perform everyday activities and sprint once in a while than be restricted by my size? That’s just me?

erybody wants to compete in a bodybuilding contest. But whether you want to compete or not you know one thing, you want big muscles. Muscle building tips in this article are meant for the average person.

1. Eat right: Of all the tips for building muscle, this one is perhaps the most important aspect of muscle building but which most people get wrong. The most important food group is protein, though you should not neglect the other groups. Aim for 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight.

2. Mental attitude: This is also of vital importance too. Muscle building, or bodybuilding if you like, is a journey not a destination. You will hit plateaus along the way, when you just can’t seem to make gains no matter what you do. Also, the results get less and less noticeable as you advance. But you must push on and sets higher goals all the time. In this game you either move forward or backward, there is no midway. Keep visualizing the person you want to be and believe it can be done.

3. Pre-workout meal: The purpose of a pre-workout meal is to prepare your body for the attack ahead and give you energy throughout the workout period. This meal should be taken about one hour before the workout session. This meal should be rich in complex carbohydrates to ensure adequate energy levels.

4. Post workout meal: As soon as possible (within one hour) after working out you should replace the drained fuel by taking down a mixture of protein and carbohydrates. A good quality meal-replacement shake works best here, but you can also drink something as simple as chocolate milk.

5. Train with intensity: Your aim should always be to lift slightly heavier weight each workout. It doesn’t always work this way so don’t beat yourself too much if you are not able to do this. Try to go beyond your comfort zone without risking injury.

6. Go heavy: If you just aim for cuts, you may never get big. If you aim for gradually increased strength you will eventually get both. Use the heaviest weights that you can handle without losing form. Just make sure you are thoroughly warmed up before tackling your heaviest weight. Do not try to go heavy at every workout week after week though.

7. Pyramid the weights: Pyramiding means using consecutively heavier weights with each set. You can also pyramid down, stripping the weights gradually with each set. Mix it up on different days to shock your muscles and keep them guessing.

8. Compound movements: Those impressive-looking machines in the gym are not what will make your muscles grow. If you want faster growth, use free weights and compound exercises. Compound exercise hit the target muscles as well as other muscles that are forced to assist. Think bench press, should press, barbell squats, barbell or dumbbell curls, triceps extensions, bent over rows, dead lifts etc.

9. Supplement it: You should eat six to eight small meals each day. Few of us have enough time to prepare that many meals, no to mention nutritious well-balanced. Also, modern farming has increased food production but compromised on the nutrients. This is why you need nutritional supplements including vitamins and minerals.

10. Rest: It is during rest that your body begins to tear down and rebuild muscle fibers that you trained, causing growth. The importance of adequate rest between workouts cannot be overstated. Having a workout split also helps as you train one or two body parts while the rest are resting.

Most of us have had experiences with veterinary drugs… simply incredible drugs that generally are targeted towards horses or dogs… and the ensuing results have probably always been spectacular. However, when you first start, the concept of ingesting something intended for our four legged friends can be a bit jarring. You wonder if you’re going to take Winstrol and end up jumping 5 foot fences, or if you’re going to get on all fours, pee on your neighbor’s mailbox and chase a rabbit if you sample some of Fido’s hormonal medication – and haven’t we all had a moment on all fours where it’s been embarrassing? Scratch that.

Look, there’s definitely a reason that veterinarian drugs are desired by many and why taking the lead of race and show horse performance may be the best plan. Sport horses are insanely amazing athletes. Not just your typical race horses, but dressage horses, jumping horses, cross country and steeplechase horses, and so many others there are too many to mention. Basically, these capable athletes are not only as aesthetically pleasing and as muscle solid as you are as a bodybuilder, they tend to be really geared up for performance. They perform like well-oiled machines. Much of that is genetic predisposition and they have evolved over the years to become such powerful animals. But, a lot has been cultivated beyond the regular level of performance and conditioning by way of animal performance and growth drugs and equine specifically equine sports supplements.

Oh yes, these hooved homies are supplement junkies much like you! Alright, they aren’t, but their owners certainly are. As a matter of fact, the equestrian world is downright fanatical when it comes to “getting the edge. It’s really quite astounding that trends in the equestrian world so closely resemble the main threads of bodybuilding supplementation. We tend to take creatine, horses take creatine. We take Gamma-Oryzanol, horses take G-O. Horses take Glucosamine and Chondroitin, and we take it, in addition to Hyaluronic acid (horses took it first) and the list just keeps going on and on.

The idea is, horses and people aren’t so different in regards to athletic needs. While bodybuilding may be considered an aesthetic-only pursuit, those of us who train all know that in the gym, it’s all about obtaining higher levels of performance! The most exciting thing is, there is a supplement that is based on horse performance principles that is like the supplement version of we have all enjoyed out of veterinary Anabolics over the years. It really is the equivalent in regards to supplementation – something that has up until now been very difficult to obtain in the bodybuilding world.

I used to think that having a supplement that was as good as Winstrol and Equipoise are as an AAS, would be an impossible dream. Based on pre-workout (energy), workout (anti-fatigue/ lactic acid blocking properties) and post-workout (recovery), it’s like vet Anabolics – you tend to get the most clear results for the fewest hassles. It’s a real “bang for the buck” supplement in the same way Winstrol-V and Equipoise is a damn good steroid cycle! And believe you me, the pre-performance and recovery aspects of the equestrian supplement world are vastly more advanced than the human side.

The human version of this equestrian supplement is called TridenosenH, I believe it’s still a littler hard to find, but maybe do some searching on the Internet to see what you come up with. Believe me, this marriage of the equestrian supplement world with the human one is an advancement that’s been long awaited, especially by me.
