Weightlifting Workout Charts – Observe them Religiously!

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

Weightlifting workout charts are specifically designed according to the particular requirements of individuals to achieve the target body shape. They need to be observed and adhered to just like a religious teacher follows his religious tenets. The reason is pretty straightforward. Your entire workout regime is structured according to your target body shape. The weightlifting workout charts are carefully designed to achieve this target. Now, if you deviate from this charted path, you will end up getting no results (or even negative results!) despite spending hours in the gym and exhausting your body to the extreme.

Basically, there are two ways of devising weightlifting workout charts for your desired body shape. The first is ‘Help Yourself’ method in which you need to gain sufficient knowledge about your body system and the weight training that’ll ultimately lead to the desired body shape. The second is more simpler and most advisable ‘Ask an Expert’ method, where you tell the expert about your plans about the body shape and he or she devise a comprehensive weightlifting workout chart for you. All you have to do is religiously follow it and the results will start appearing, albeit in small measures, within a week or so.

Sticking to weightlifting workout charts has worked wonders for the well-known bodybuilders and athletes all across the world, and there’s no reason why it shouldn’t work for anyone desirous of achieving a specific body shape. Here are some other benefits of adhering the workout charts –

  • Efficiency: it’s not about how much time you spend in the gym. It’s neither about how much sweat you discharge in the gym. It’s all about efficiency and intelligence to pick up the right weightlifting exercise in order to achieve desired results. So, whatever time you spend in the gym, you know that it’s not wasted.
  • Saves Time: Following weightlifting workout charts will help in achieving the desired results in good time, thus, saving you from precious time loss from wasteful exercises.
  • Motivation: Merely following the rules and achieving the small targets you set for yourself daily will lift your morale and encourage you to keep coming back to the gym until the goal is reached.

I want to lose weight to be healthy

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Although I want to lose wieght – and want it tremendously – I’m pretty steadfast about doing it the right way. I only want to lose weight naturally. I don’t mind taking pills, but they must contain natural herbs or else I’m not going to take them. I have heard all kinds of late-night talk shows about the hazards of man-made chemicals. Although not all doctors agree – and mine actually laughed at me when I brought it up – it still seems like a risk not worth taking. I want to lose weight to be healthy, not to get sick from chemicals!

Strength Training Guidelines for Endurance Athletes

Monday, August 11th, 2008

You can make great strides in your sport performance in the weight room. Because strength training can break down a lot of muscle tissue I recommend weight work be done in the foundation or base period. This does not mean you will not continue to build strength throughout the season. Hill running, slow cadence cycling work outs, and resisted swim work outs are all forms of strength training that are specific to disciplines. Weight training should smoothly transition into strength training in your disciplines.

Micronized Creatine Monohydrate

Monday, August 11th, 2008

While there are many creatine monohydrate products on the market these days, It’s hard at times to separate marketing claims from the actual benefits that you get from using one of these supplements. If you’re trying to gain muscle mass as quickly as possible, adding a creatine monohydrate supplement to your diet may be a prudent thing to do.

Over the years, I have experimented with a few different types of creatine supplements to help me increase my strength and muscle mass.
While I’ve had good luck with a few of the creatine products that I tried, a few of them simply didn’t pan out.

For a while there, I thought my body just didn’t respond to creatine at all!

After some trail and error, I was able to find a few creatine monohydrate products that actually lived up to their promises and produced some muscle gain results!

Knowing now that my body did respond to creatine monohydrate favorably, the only explanation that I could come up with for the lack of results I saw from a few of these products is…

  1. Inferior Quality
  2. Supplements Not Meeting The Label Claim

While, it took a while to wade through the creatine products on the market, I finally stumbled upon AST’s micronized creatine monohydrate.

Deadlifting For More Lower Back Strength

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

  Deadlifting is very important when you’re training your lower back. The deadlift is a great weight training exercise for not only the lower back, but the entire body since you have to use so many different muscles to perform it. You need to use your leg power as much as possible to get the weight off the floor when you deadlift and let the lower back take over towards the top of a rep. Always start your lower back workouts with deadlifts.

High Protein Diet Plans

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

If you’re trying to lose weight quickly you should try going on a high protein diet that’s lower in carbs. A high protein diet plan will help you build some muscle mass, which in turn will boost your resting metabolic rate. The lower carbohydrate levels will allow you to burn more fat when you exercise. Of course you’ll want to keep some quality carbs in your diet, just make sure to consume most of them earlier in the day.
