Do you have chest fat? Learn how to get rid of chest fat in this post. Gynecomastia or men’s breast enlargement happens quite frequently, in fact, probably more than you think. It happens for many reasons, and often something can be done. There are different types of Gynecomastia, or men’s breast enlargement, there are a few below to help you understand. Adolescence often brings Gynocomastia on and young men often see breast enlargement some time around nine years of age to the ages of 14 or so. A temporary condition, it’s often attributed to hormones becoming active. There are approximately 30% of these young men who wind up with slightly large breasts, and those who develop severely large breasts will have them for the rest of their life unless they seek out medical intervention. Pseudogynecomastia can be another problem and while it is not true breast tissue that is enlarging the breasts, it’s more adipose or fatty tissue that winds up depositing in the area. Often, exercise and diet changes may reduce the tissue, or some may choose to have liposuction cosmetic surgery. Still others may need cosmetic surgery to reduce flabby skin as well as the tissue within the breast. There is also the type of chest fat that happens to body builders or strength training athletes, this also doesn’t have much to do with real breast tissue but is usually due to steroid use, surgery is usually the answer to receive the flattened nipple effect. Many men will experience the puffy nipple look of increased breast tissue in the areola area. This is the usual form of breast enlargement and most men deal with this easily. Others will change diet, exercise and seek medical attention for the typical puffy nipple area. You can learn another way how to get rid of chest fat if you click here. While many men will live with slight breast enlargement, others have it in a very severe case and will go through surgery to relieve the problem. Every one is different and while some men have a severe psychological response; slight enlargement or even the saggy skin from those who are older does not bother others.

One of the most natural things that an individual does every day is to walk. For years, this single act has been linked to improving cardiovascular health. The reason is because, generally, walking is a safe movement that isn’t likely to cause injury. New studies have shown that walking is also a terrific way to improve your mood. The next time you are feeling a little blue, there may be a way to walk it off - literally.

A recent study paired individuals into groups, one of which spent 30 minutes on a treadmill and the other that participated in 30 minutes of rest. Each group’s progress was monitored throughout the treatment with a conclusion that both groups reported having less negative feelings at the end of the study, along with less stress and tension. The difference, however, was found when the group that spent 30 minutes walking also noted an overall improvement in well-being.

While the study further proves the theory that walking is good for mental health, as well as physical, it also lends credence to the theory that people who walk feel better overall. It also proves that an individual does not have to be outside in order to enjoy the benefits of walking. This simple exercise can be achieved with a treadmill or by simply walking in place while tuning into a favorite movie or television show.

Anyone who has been diagnosed as having clinical depression or other illnesses should not ignore, or disregard, his/her medical treatment program. Walking is simply a way to sometimes add further improvement to certain conditions. A simple 30 minute walk can benefit an individual’s mood, improve cardiovascular health and combat obesity all at the same time. In order to be effective, many people find that a daily walking schedule will help to keep them motivated and improve their spirits. In addition, a regular schedule will ensure that there is a time set aside for a walk. It’s very easy to think, “I’ll get around to it later,” but something more often than not will distract individuals away from exercise unless they have a certain schedule that is followed every day.

Dianabol - (generic name - Methandrostenolone) is a very popular steroid

In a manner of speaking Dianabol (D-bol) can be considered the grandfather of all anabolic steroids, and most bodybuilders who have used steroids got their first start with D-bol. The drug was originally formulated by Dr John Ziegler and released by the Ciba Corporation in the late 1950’s. Dr Ziegler developed the steroid after talking to some Russian weightlifting coaches after the Russian weightlifters suddenly started dominating the sport in the early 1950’s.

Methandrostenolone was all the rage in gyms during the 1970’s. In fact numerous stories are still told of the little blue tablets being sold at the main counters of the bigger bodybuilding gyms. D-bol is probably the most popular steroid ever created and most pro bodybuilders, who are willing to talk, have admitted to using it in their cycles.

The popularity of Dianabol was ironically the key to its downfall. During the 1980’s, Ciba discontinued the original D-bol when the FDA decided that its therapeutic uses were minimal compared to the rampant use by bodybuilders and the dosages that some bodybuilders were taking. But generic methandrostenolone has never been out of production. It’s reported that the Russians became quite fond of D-bol and Russian D-bol is now one of the popular versions of the drug on the black-market.

Why so popular?

Methandrostenolone is without a doubt one of the most effective steroids for bodybuilders and other athletes trying to pack on the most amount of muscle mass in the shortest time possible. Users routinely report muscular body weight gains of 2 to 4 pounds a week. Among the drugs much desired effects are

* promotes drastic increase in protein synthesis

* enhances glycogenolysis (restores glycogen stores after exercise)

* stimulates strength gains in a very direct and fast-acting way.

The drug is not recommended for those in aerobic events, as there is some evidence to suggest that it may diminish cell respiration. D-bol is often used at the beginning of cycles that also contain injectables since the effects produced by injectables usually take 10-15 days to first be observed. But the effects of methandrostenolone are virtually immediate.

Side Effects?

As steroids go, Dianabol has a rather weak androgenic component and a very strong and visible anabolic component. This means that the drug has less depressive effects on natural testosterone levels than some of the more androgenic steroids. This means that one worry users of D-bol, especially in the short term, needn’t fear is the dramatic shutdown of natural hormone production. Of course like most side effects the degree of testosterone shutdown is dose-dependent. But rest assured methandrostenolone still has mild androgenic effects and in high doses (30-40+ mg daily) such androgen-related side effects as acne, male pattern hair loss, and aggression, may be noticed.

Like many oral steroids D-bol is 17-carbon methylated to reduce its breakdown by the digestive system and liver. Of course this chemical modification brings with it a certain degree of toxicity. For this reason users shouldn’t stay on the drug for more than 6 to 8 weeks at a stretch. And even then only under supervision of a medical professional who can monitor your liver values.

Although popular as an off-season mass-building drug, Dianabol is rarely used in pre-contest drug cycles. This is because it heavily aromatizes to estrogen making fat loss difficult. The drug is also known to cause a great deal of fluid retention - another property that makes it unpopular as a contest drug. To get around this bodybuilders usually stack it with other steroids such as nandrolone or one of the testosterones (i.e., propionate).

The average dosage used by bodybuilders is around 15-40mg/day (three to eight, 5mg tablets). Beginners do not need more than 15-20mg per day since their steroid receptors have not been exposed to the drug before and will experience dramatic results using small dosages over a 6 to 8 week period. When the effects begin to slow down (mostly because the steroid receptors have become saturated), and the individual wants to continue the cycle, the dosage should NOT be increased. Instead an injectable such as Deca-Durabolin or Primabolan-Depot may be added to the cycle.
Beware of the long arm of the law!

As of 1991 anabolic steroids and their derivatives are classified as controlled substances in the United States. Many other countries have passed similar legislation. Please read up on and become knowledgeable about your state’s or country’s steroid laws.

Free radicals are chemicals that are produced through normal metabolic processes that have the ability to “rip” electrons away from the molecules in the walls of your cells as well as essential proteins such as DNA. What’s more they tend to be produced in excess with intense activities like body building. If they are not “mopped up” by what have been called natural and supplemented antioxidants the free radicals can lead to many health problems i.e.

Accelerated Aging,
Cancers ,
Heart Disease,

Arthritis,
Autoimmune Disorders,

Alzheimer’s,
Cataracts,
Etc.

One of the main free radicals to be concerned about is a natural biochemical called Superoxide.

This free radical in early life is kept in check, so to speak, by naturally produced biochemicals also called “free radical scavengers” such as superoxide dismutase and glutathione which have a tendency to decline with age. This decline accelerates the aging process because the free radical load rises steadily unchecked unless one’s diet is supplemented with antioxidants.

Examples of antioxidants commonly used are: vitamin E, beta-carotene, vitamin A, and coenzyme Q10, vitamin C, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase.

In 1994 a Tufts University scientist, Dr. Guoha Cao, developed a new and powerful method for determining the antioxidant capacity of common foods. This test came to be known as the ORAC assay* (which stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity which measures a foods free radical fighting capacity). ORAC assays have become the most sensitive and reliable method for determining a food’s capacity to deal with free radicals.

Below I give a list of some common foods and their corresponding ORAC** levels (the higher level is equivalent to greater efficacy):

Ningxia Wolfberry 303

Chinese Wolfberry 202

Acai 184

Pomegranate 105

Prune 57

Blackberry 51

Boysenberry 35

Plum 28

Red Raspberry 27

Strawberry 26

Orange 24

Cherry 21

Garlic 19

Kale 18

Spinach 12

Broccoli florets 9

Beet 8

Apple 3

Carrot 2

The Ningxia wolfberry is, according to Tufts, the highest known antioxidant food source.
What is even more interesting is that it is also highly endowed with protein as it contains about 15.6% protein by weight and has more protein than Bee Pollen***.

As a result it makes Ningxia Wolfberries an ideal source of protein and antioxidants for body builders.

The Chinese national census has also recently reported that the number of Ningxia (Ningxia Province is where Ningxia Wolfberries are harvested) residents living more than 100 years exceeds the national average by an amazing 400%

My personal experience with Ningxia Wolfberries came with an amazing product that changed my life dramatically. Over 7 years ago I was doing a great deal of body building and was trying to restrict myself to vegetable protein sources but found that I was neither able to maintain my energy level nor my routine. I was sensitive to whey products and was loath to supplement with egg albumin because of a family history of heart disease so I was in search of a safe natural product that would not only help build muscle but also address energy and antioxidant concerns. The two products I found were from Young Living. They were 1. Power Meal and 2. NingXia Red Juice.

Both contain the Ningxia Wolfberry that only Young Living now has the rights to.

After only a month of being on each of these I found my energy levels, my strength and my muscle bulk changed dramatically. Other benefits that I experienced as well included improved eye sight and enhanced over all well being.

There are some major key parts to a successful body building routine. I will go over a routine that was created by a personal trainer for me, and it worked wonderfully.

The first thing is to remember that in order to build muscle, your body needs to feed your muscles. In order to gain muscle weight one must (only if he/she is working out) eat 1 gram of protein to 1 kilogram of body weight each day in order to have efficient muscle growth. Diet is essentially the most important part of body building. When trying to gain weight in muscle mass one should eat every 2-3 hours, or 6 small meals a day. Each meal should contain a serving of protein. Most meat the size of the palm of your hand has around 15 - 25 grams of protein in it. Along with the protein, lots of carbs and a good multi vitamin should be taken.

Second thing is to get a simple routine and stick to it. It is best to split your workout into 2 days.

Day one - For your chest and triceps do 3 sets of dumbell Press, 3 sets of incline dumbell press (or bench press) and 3 sets of dips. For your back and biceps do 3 sets of chin ups, 3 sets of one arm row, 2 sets of reverse flys, and 2 sets of bicep curls. This should only take an hour or 2.

Day two - For your legs, lower back and abs do 4 sets of squats, 4 sets of lunges, 2 sets of hamstring curls, 2 sets of calf raises, 4 sets of sit-ups, and 2 sets of lower back raises(done on a exercises ball). This should only take an hour or 2.

Rotate this 5 - 6 days a week.

For the first 2 weeks of your work out each set should consist of 15 reps. If you cant do 3 sets of 15 reps with the weight you’ve chosen, then use a lighter weight. If you can’t do 15 reps of chin ups, don’t worry, do as many as you can!

The 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th week you should use a heavier weight and drop your reps down to 8 per set. Ill explain why below.

The 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th week lower your weight and raise your reps up to 12.

Finally after 11 weeks drop your weights again and do 15 - 20 reps for one final week.

The ways reps work are as followed

1-3 - Power
3-6 - Power
6-8 - Strength
8-10 - Strength
10-12 - Hypertrophy (muscle growth)
12-15 - Hypertrophy- Endurance
15-20 - Endurance

Include at least 5 hours a week of cardio exercise.

This simple work out routine should allow you to put on around 5 lbs of muscle mass if not more. Repeat and add to it if you feel like it, but it’s a very effective and simple routine that actually works if you stick to it faithfully.

Have ever wondered why your muscles stopped growing after a few months of training even though you are training very hard? Here are 7 reasons why your muscles stopped growing and how to get your muscle to grow again.

• You are training too hard - Every time when you train your muscles intensely, you are actually breaking down your muscles. So your muscles need to recover from the damages you inflicted on them. So train each muscle group only once or at most twice a week.

• You are training too long - Keep your workout intense but do not workout more than an hour each time. After 45 minutes of intensive training, your cortisol level will increase. This hormone is known to destroy muscle cells.

• You are sleeping too little - You need to sleep more for good muscle growth. Your muscles grow when you sleep. So sleep more than 8 hours a day and watch those muscles growing fast.

• You are abusing alcohol - Alcohol is known to break down muscle mass plus many other body destruction ability.

• You do not change your workout routine - You must change your workout routine every 6-8 weeks. Your muscles adapt to your routine and stops growing.

• You do not progressively overload your muscles - You must try to increase your reps or weight every time you next train a particular muscle group. Otherwise, there is no reason for your muscles to grow.

• You do not eat sufficient protein - If you want to build bigger muscles, you must eat more protein. Protein is the building block for your muscles. It is recommended that you need 1 gram of protein per pound of your body weight equivalent. If not enough protein is consumed with your normal diet, do supplement with protein shakes.

There you are, the 7 reasons why your muscles stopped growing even though you are training hard. There are many more methods on how to grow your muscles bigger but these 7 reasons and how to overcome them will be sufficient for an average bodybuilding beginner.

I see it every day. Young bucks come into gym in their high school years and train and make astounding gains and begin to think about bodybuilding. Testosterone is at its peak during these years and just seems they can’t get enough of the gym or the results they are achieving. By the time the senior year rolls around, they are at their peak physically. It came so easily, it seems, that development will stay forever.

However life begins to change after high school. College starts in the fall or perhaps you start a full time job. Distractions are everywhere. Many football, baseball and wrestling jocks of high school no longer shine above their college competition and most do not continue disciplined organized sports that once brought you to the gym in the first place.

Besides not playing the sports, studies are now more time consuming. The food is all you can eat at the student cafeteria and, well, beer parties are everywhere. This is the most fun ever, you think. By the time Thanksgiving rolls around, no time was found for the gym and you are well on way to the freshman fifteen. That is the fifteen pounds of smoothing fat that you picked up during the first year on your own away from home. Bodybuilding was but a memory back home.

Spring rolls around and you are back home for the summer. But wow have you changed? Heavier, smoother and where did those muscles go? You return to the gym for the summer to get in shape. You find it is next to impossible to return the body to its former ripped state much less building up this summer.

My point here guys, bodybuilding is not for the weak willed. If you want to continue to be in shape you must plan the discipline of working out if you are going to have the better body. Bodybuilding is tough. Don’t kid yourself. If it was easy everyone would be in shape.

So what should you do? Well if you are college bound do the following:

-During campus visit check out the gym facilities. Determine if the equipment is suitable to meet your bodybuilding needs.

-Do your campus visit during the normal school year to get a feel for the people that are going. Is the gym too crowded (undersized for the campus)? What is the attitude of those training, motivational or passively active.

-How close is the gym to the living quarters? Is it convenient?

-What are the food choices at the cafeteria? Can I get the high protein foods? Is food overly processed? What are the off campus choices?

Now I am not saying that you make your college selection based solely upon the gym facilities but it should be a factor if you are serious about your training.

-Finally once you arrive at college, review your class schedule. Then clearly plan a workout time along with your study and class time. If you have to put a routine in the morning, just do it.

-Settle into a routine and stick to it.

-Don’t stay up so late. You need your rest to recover from workouts and besides late nights will cause you to want to sleep through that morning routine.

-Lay off alcohol. It’s catabolic; meaning it works to strip your muscles off. It acts on the body the opposite of steroids. It’s bad news. It will take you places you don’t want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay and cost you more than you can imagine.

-Eat right. Do I need to say more?

-Read a bodybuilding magazine periodically to keep your focus.

-Hang out with those that are in the gym. They are a better influence in keeping you disciplined.

Okay there you have it. Stay with your training and your freshman fifteen will be MUSCLE not flab!

Ah summer time, it’s one of my favorite seasons and it has everything to do with free time, sun and surf. Activities like volleyball, tennis, soccer, swimming, surfing, sprinting after curious children, playing frisbee with the dog, walking a mile to get a frozen yogurt or to find that lost flipper on the beach take precedence. All the ingredients that make exercise happen because, it’s summer and it’s fun.

I’d like to keep that spirit of summer alive through out the year. By finding a greater reason to stay cardio fit, besides the fact that it keeps you young, vibrant and healthy forever. Everyone does their strength training with me and they do fine, with good results. But I’m no longer satisfied with good results! The cardio component is still missing for some, inspite of my stressing its importance. So I’ve come up with a solution.

I propose that we get involved in training for a charitable events that involves either a 5K or 10K run (you can walk if that’s what you can do, unless you’ve joined a team sport, then your time is a factor). If everyone chooses an event that will be a motivational challenge you may end up making these events a lifestyle, extending your life, expanding your heart and opening your mind. Other very real benefits include reaching goals with real results, a strong sense of purpose to your training, a chance to meet, share and socialize with other like minded souls. A chance to feel the benefits of team spirit and a huge sense of accomplishment that comes along with your lowered body fat levels.

It’s time to get into the spirit of giving..…it’s guaranteed life promoting. All proceeds of your efforts go to the charitable cause sponsoring the run. This site has a current list of all upcoming events to choose from http://www.newyorkled.com/indexRaces009.htm#races. I will be keeping logs of everyone’s progress, which will be documented and discussed in upcoming newsletters. Your story could be the next spot light article in this newsletter. Just think! Your chance to inspire others too!

Eventually if enough people are involved and motivated, I’d like to reach out and sponsor my own event for a good cause. Perhaps I’ll sponsor an ab fab marathon (Nicks suggestion), or body fat loss competition (over a month long period)I am open to suggestions, feedback and ideas. Most importantly, together, lets get involved! Improving ourselves as we help others!

Packing on Muscle mass involves a lot of dedication and care. At times, trying too hard can have its negative effects too. Right guidance and proper techniques make the perfect recipe to MUSCLE BUILDING. Muscle Building is no joke, but at the same time, very much possible. The bottomline is to workout in the right direction and not to harm your body. Here are some Do’s and Dont’s for Muscle Building.

Muscle Building Tips: Do’s and Dont’s

1) Muscle Building Diet: It occupies a prominent area in MUSCLE BUILDING pie-chart. You should be highly careful related to your muscle building diet. Always ask your trainer to write down a diet schedule for you.

2) Give rest to your body between two sets, say for two minutes.

3) Not work on more than two muscle groups at a time. Train those mucles in a group which work with each other. This technique has proven to be effective. For eg: Chest and Triceps or biceps and backs.

4) The most effective time to do muscle building exercises is in the morning. You have consumed a lot of carbs by evening. So, carbs become the source of energy for you when you do your exercises in evening. But in morning, body depends on its alternative source i.e FAT for energy. Hence fats get burned up more in morning.

5) Last but not the least, Dont be biased to any body part. Proper balance is a necessity. Having big upper body and skinny legs is no good. Work out on entire body.
