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 [...] Continue Reading…

Developing Callousesby Bidz Dela CruzIn one of my articles in www.gloves.com.mx entitled, “Gloves for Gym Workout”, I mentioned about developing callous to do away with the use of gloves. Callouses are not replacements for gloves but they are even the better option in working out (rather than wear gloves).Gloves are not necessary in working out. Our coach back then in the powerlifting team always scold us if he sees us wearing gloves. Wearing gloves in the gym gives you minimum workout output. Gloves are restrictions in working out. They are a hindrance, dragging you from carrying heavier poundage or allowing you to do higher repetitions. When you are serious in working out, you really should develop calloused hands. Callouses will be your protection from the metal plates and bars. Having a thick palm covered with several callouses makes you endure the pain of the direct contact with metals. With gloves on, your grip are limited. The thickness of your [...] Continue Reading…

It’s just that “traditonal bodybuilding” won’t serve you.It doesn’t mean it serves younger guys, but its just that they don’t notice it as much.

If you have a weak body-part you want to improve, train it first in your workout, before you begin to fatigue.· Pyramiding (B, I, & A) – When using multiple sets for a given exercise, doing your first set with less weight for more reps, gradually increasing the weight and decreasing the reps over the remainder of your sets. This allows you to gradually warm up a muscle group, preparing it for the resistance to come in the next set.· Supersets (I & A) – Working opposing muscle groups in back-to-back fashion, taking as little rest as possible in between sets. Alternating sets between opposing muscle groups – such as biceps and triceps/chest and back – greatly increases intensity. When you train one muscle group, the other is recovering (sometimes even [...] Continue Reading…
