Most people have probably seen a wooden dummy before. There is a famous scene in “Rumble in the Bronx” where Jackie Chan uses one in the beginning of the movie. But even though Jackie Chan’s moves on the dummy are flashy and impressive, there is much more to using a dummy than just looking cool.

Wooden dummies (“mook yan jong” in Chinese), while primarily found in Wing Chun kung fu, can generally be adapted to any martial art style. The advantages that wooden dummies provide are numerous, and are not limited to:

Developing a powerful structure: When you strike the solid dummy you receive instant feedback regarding your structure. If your strike was solid and true and with good structure, you will feel the power transfer from your body into the dummy. If, for example, your wrist was at the wrong angle, you will receive negative feedback from the dummy.

Wooden dummies are available to train 24/7: Regardless of if you always train at the same time every day or if you train at odd times, a dummy is always available as opposed to doing drills with a partner where you don’t have to set up a time that works for both of you. Another advantage to this is that wooden dummies can be used throughout the day, too; Perhaps you are going to train a specific technique every time you walk past your dummy, or every hour for the entire day (to build central nervous system efficiency, also known as “muscle memory” or “greasing the groove”). It would be difficult to find a training partner who would agree to that regimen!

Building power: While a dummy does not necessarily have to be used with full power, there is nothing wrong with doing so. Over time, as you build your speed and power on the dummy, you will eventually begin to develop tangible power in your strikes, which leads to the next point:

Building confidence: When you are able to strike with great force, and you know that you are able to strike with great force, your fighting ability will increase exponentially. The difference between being able to perform a powerful technique in the air and knowing that you can perform a powerful technique against resistance such as a dummy without getting injured is extremely empowering.

If you decide that your training would benefit from a wooden dummy, there are some things you should keep in mind as you shop for a dummy:

The body must be between 8.5 and 9.5 inches in diameter. The reason for this is to allow the upper arms to be placed at the correct angle. Any narrower than this and they will be too close together; any wider and they will be too far apart.

The arms: The upper arms must be set at the same angle. Some dummies have upper limbs where one is resting 1 or 2 inches above the other one. This is incorrect as it will develop imbalances in your techniques. On a properly made dummy, the arms will have offset shanks allowing the arms to rest at the same height despite the holes in the body being at different heights.

Training with a wooden dummy is an effective way to improve your technique, your power, and your confidence. Although it is traditionally used by Wing Chun styles, any style of martial arts can adapt its techniques to the dummy.

Are you desperate to get 6 pack abs quickly? I know exactly how to do it, as I have personally succeeded myself after finally discovering many truths about ab training. Firstly, you must be willing to commit and do whatever it takes to get the six pack abs. This article will lists the most important aspects that you have to get right if you want to have any chance of getting your 6 pack.

1. Build Up Your Lean Muscle

The most important thing to do is to lose the layer of stomach fat covering the abs. Cardio alone is not going to help much. The best way to do this would be to raise your body’s metabolism throughout the day, and you need to build up lean muscle to accomplish that. Lean muscle can be built by doing strength training with weights, but they don’t necessarily have to be very heavy unless you want to get big. Always remember to consume some form of protein after your workouts.

2. Eat More Of The Right Foods

Try not to eat too large quantities of food per meal. It would be good if you can divide your daily 3 meals up into 5 or more smaller meals each day. This keeps your metabolism high throughout the day, burning your body fat even when you are not working out. Also ensure that your meals contain a good mix of fiber, protein and healthy carbohydrates like vegetables and fruits.

3. Do Ab Exercises, But Don’t Overdo Them

Many people misunderstand ab training and tend to overdo them. It is a necessary step but not the only step, which most people seem to think so as I see people just doing their crunches all day long without much success. Ab exercises are useful for strengthening your abs, but almost useless when they come to fat burning.

Also, it does not mean that the more reps you do, the faster you will get six packs. The ab exercises you perform must provide enough resistance to your abs, which means that if you have already done many crunches before, it is time to move on to more challenging ones like hanging leg raises.

Penis exercises work very well on the their own when it comes to increasing the size of your manhood. In this article I will go through supplements that you can use with the penis exercises to see wonderful results and gains. All you have to do is sit back, relax and read about these two crucial methods. Many men across the globe have seen massive success by using these techniques.

The key to being successful with penis enlargement is consistency and focus. When you have both of these things penis enlargement becomes so much easier. When I first used these methods I was very surprised with how well it worked and even more surprised with how fast it worked. Normally with enlargement the process of enlargening is a steady journey but with these methods it will be a quick process.

Comparing Body Exercises

Weather it’s losing weight, burning fat, getting rid of cellulite, building muscle or just generally trying to stay fit, exercises alone will not be able to help you accomplish your goals. When you are trying to reach your goals with body exercises you will always need a good supplement product to help you improve in every aspect of your body exercises. The same goes for penis exercises because you also need great supplements for great results.

Below are a few minerals and vitamins that you need to take that will help you increase the size of your penis. Taking both of these things everyday will help maximize the blood flow in your penile area. When more blood flow is increased to your penile area, your erections will be much harder, thicker and longer then before. Doing exercises alone will help increase blood flow but doing them with vitamins and minerals makes the process twice as effective.

When trying to maximize the flowing of your blood these are some of the best vitamins and minerals that you can use to do that. These supplements do not only help increase the size of your penis but they are also very good for helping your overall health to improve..

L- Lysine – (Also gives you more vibrant skin, stronger bones, better digestion and more.)

Ginkgo Bilboa (Also gives your brain extra energy, heals wounds quicker, stops blood clots, stops yellowing of the nails and more.)

Zinc (Also gives you stronger blood cells, better muscle growth, gets rid of fat and more.)

Ginseng (Also gives you stronger immune system, better stamina, more flexible bones, reduces hair loss and more.)

Super B Complex (Also helps you heal wounds quicker, gets rid of bad bacteria, stops yellowing of teeth, healthier skin, whitens eyes and more.

Multi Mens Vitamins (Also gives you faster muscle growth, stronger bones, healthier ligaments, flexible tendons and more.)

Everything I have listed above is all natural and they will all help you increase the blood flow to your penis area.

Natural Penis Exercises – How To Exercises Properly

The first step to exercising properly is warming up. The warm up allows your body to get ready for all the intense exercises you will be doing. Warming up should never be skipped when attempting to do natural penis exercises. Some men try to skip the warm up because they think it’s not important but they soon find out that warming up is essential.

When exercising it’s always best to take it easy. A lot of men exercise very roughly and this can lead to a lot of problems. The best thing to do is to do it in a very comfortable speed so that you actually enjoy the exercises better. The last important thing to remember about these natural penis exercises is to always use lubrication. Lubrication is very important if you want to see maximum results and avoid injury.

Creatine preworkout supplements are very popular among men and women that want to get in the best shape of their lives. This mixture of creatine with other ingredients has been around since the mid 90’s as a way to get more creatine loaded into the muscle cells. Early formulas used high doses of dextrose to spike insulin and use its action to force creatine into the muscle. More recently different delivery systems have been introduced that help push more creatine into the cell. USP labs Jacked for example uses a zero carbohydrate formula and relies instead on quick passage through the stomach for it’s creatine boost. Anadraulic State GT, another popular creatine supplement for preworkouts take an approach of using amino acids and a small amount of dextrose along with cinnamon extract to force more creatine into the muscle cells. Cinnamon is very interesting since it really has an effect you can feel instantly. People are raving about the combination of cinnamon and creatine, and luckily Anadraulic State GT masks the cinnamon taste, giving you all of the potency. Additional things are often added to creatine like waxy maize starch, a form of carbohydrate that is supposed to pull more water into the cell along with creatine. Jacked skips this ingredient and has arginine instead, feeling that a zero carbohydrate formula is superior, while Anadraulic State contains some waxy maize to help augment the cinnamon and dextrose. Either method seems to get people zinging in the gym and gives truly crazy pumps and focus, so you can’t make a bad choice.

Creatine is a substance that is naturally produced in the body and is used in muscle cells to retain energy for vigorous physical activities such as sprinting or weight lifting. Even though creatine is naturally found in the body it is also possible to take creatine supplements to give the body an extra boost. Many athletes will take supplements in order to improve their endurance and strength and it can also increase muscle size. In elderly, creatine is shown to help brain function, muscle mass and could actually have some anti-cancer benefits.

Creatine can be found in some foods such as red meat and fish but this small amount is usually destroyed during the cooking process. Creatine is not ideal for all athletes, it actually works better for those who are looking to improve short burst of vigorous exercise such as sprinters or weight lifters. There has been little or no research to show that creation has any benefits for those athletes who take part in prolonged activities such as marathon running, but anecdotal information is certainly interesting in that regard.

Creatine works by recharging and replenishing the stores of ATP which is one of nature’s primary ways of storing and utilising energy in the body. ATP is used during any type of physical exercise or exertion but it is especially useful during periods of high energy. Creatine ensures that the stores of ATP do not become depleted as they normally would during exercise so that an athlete can perform at a higher level for longer periods. Mixing creatine with dextrose used to be the best way to get insulin levels up, which shoves creatine into the cells. These days, insulin mimetics such as cinnamon, hydroxy-isoleucine and bitter melon do a lot of that work for you, so there is no need to take creatine with 75g of dextrose (sugar) or grape juice as was once thought.

As with all supplements it is important to be aware of the pros and cons of the substance. The main purpose and advantage of creatine is that bodybuilders use it to build bigger muscles and athletes use it to improve performance levels. However, there are other advantages of using a creatine supplement apart from the obvious ones. One of these being that creatine helps to deliver more testosterone to the cells of the body thus leading to bigger muscle mass. Creatine supplements also work by drawing more liquid into the muscles which can lead to a 3% to 10% increase in muscle mass. It is widely known that creatine supplements can help an athlete to work for longer periods of time therefore increasing fitness levels. The supplements have also been attributed to decreasing muscle recovery time and making the muscles able to withstand more strenuous workouts.

If you are looking to increase muscle mass then creatine is the supplement for you. Increasing the amount of creatine in your body can increase muscle power during aerobic exercise and it has also been linked to an increase of muscle mass. It may be that you find it hard to put on weight naturally but with creatine weight gain will be made easier.

Creatine supplementing is a controversial subject but it is not considered to be doping and is not banned by the majority of sports bodies. Creatine is a substance that is naturally produced in the body but the ethical connotations into whether it is acceptable to enhance performance with supplements is something that remains shrouded in controversy. Still, the number of athletes that use creatine dwarfs the amount of average people who use it to help them look good.

Creatine has some very interesting “side effects” in young and old people that one might want to consider. Creatine can increase satellite cell production and reduce myostatin, making it a very important part of any successful plan to increase muscle mass. The best form is really good old creatine monohydrate, but it is OK to take more exotic forms like creatine magnesium chelate, creatine malate and creatine orotate. These should work as well as creatine monohydrate, just make sure you have some creatine monohydrate since it is the only form shown to have the satellite cell boosting effects. Some of the other effects are age dependent, but creatine has also been shown to increase DHT conversion, which is a hormone that in implicated in a all sorts of things from hair loss to increased penis size. In young people DHT can control penis size, height and hairline, since it antagonizes the work of estrogen, which signals the penis to stop growing and the closing of growth plates. So, it might be an advantage to take creatine when in growth ages to help increase penis size and height. In older men, DHT can cause hairloss, so it is a good idea to watch how much hair you are losing while on a creatine supplement. DHT can also cause aggressive behaviour, which can be an issue.

Creatine is certainly safe and effective when used as directed and in 8-12 week cycles. I feel personally that creatine should be cycled 8-12 weeks on and 4 weeks off for maximum benefits.

Nothing spoils a night of lovemaking like premature ejaculation. It ruins the whole mood of the experience and can really take the wind out of both your sails. Premature ejaculation can hit your confidence and hit it hard. You feel like you let your partner down. You feel like you have no control and lets face it…

…you have an overwhelming sense of inadequacy after the fact.

Why deal with all this performance anxiety? Lovemaking is supposed to be stress relieving. If you’re spending the whole time worrying about delaying your climax, you’re bound to find sex less enjoyable AND you’ll be reluctant to make love the next time around.

There is a solution…

When you’re with your partner in bed, you’re both reaching for the same goal. Once you know how to last longer, you’ll be halfway towards giving your partner that eyeball rolling, pinky toe curling, screaming till’ the neighbors hear orgasm you can both smile about over breakfast.

It’s not as hard as you think to kick premature ejaculation to the curb. You CAN last longer… if you know the right techniques. This tutorial will show you exactly how to do it. So, without further ado, here are the best ways to last longer in bed.

Techniques for Prolonging Ejaculation

1. Numbing Creams

Different creams are available in most drugstores. Brand names will vary but prevalent condom manufacturers have lines of desensitizing products. Numbing creams, as the name implies, have a slight numbing effect on your member.

There are pros and cons to using this strategy. An obvious pro is that by numbing your organ, you’ll certainly last longer. A big con, however, is that you’ll need to use trial and error to determine the amount of numbing cream to obtain the desired effect. Apply too much and you may have trouble ejaculating at all. Apply too little and you won’t see much difference in your performance.

I do recommend this method as a first strategy for anyone suffering with premature ejaculation. The biggest benefit with using a numbing cream is that you’ll learn to concentrate much more on your lovemaking technique when you aren’t distracted by a reluctance to ejaculate.

Your strokes will be more controlled and you’ll be thinking much more about your partners pleasure. This is because you won’tbe overwhelmed by your own stimulation.

2. Muscle Building Exercises

Sex is much more physically demanding for men than women. I’m not trying to take away from any of the wild contortion women undergo. However, in this example I’m referring more to muscle contraction.

During intercourse, men use their core, arms and buttocks to power most of the thrusts. If your muscles aren’t conditioned to last, you’ll get tired and subconsciously lazy with your lovemaking. It leads to faster strokes as you rely on momentum to take some of the effort off your body. Faster strokes means a faster finish.

Start weightlifting to exercise these specific areas. Some great weightlifing routines for building stamina in bed include squats, leg extensions, hip abduction, hip adduction, dips, bicep curls and bench press. Bottom line – when you’re built for sex, your stamina will grow by leaps and bounds.

3. Slow Your Rhythm

The fundamental strategy for lasting longer in bed is pacing your stroke. Learning hip movement and stroke rhythm can be much like learning to dance. You’ve got to coordinate with your partner for maximum pleasure. By slowing your stroke, you’ll do much more than just prolong ejaculation. You’ll make sex much more enjoyable for your partner.

Slowing down your lovemaking gives your partner a chance to enhance her own experience. She’ll have an opportunity to change hip position and her pelvic angle for maximum clitoral and vaginal stimulation.

Don’t get me wrong. When it comes to lovemaking, there is a time to speed up your thrusts. I’m simply saying that in the beginning, it’s best to go slow, make sure you’re both on the same page and pace your climax to arrive after her own.

4. Train through Masturbation

Increase your masturbation sessions to 15 minutes or longer. The average male climaxes during sex between 5 and 15 minutes into the act. Masturbation is a great way to train yourself away from getting carried away.

As you feel yourself approaching orgasm, force yourself to slow down. Until you reach a set goal. Try for 15 minutes. Try for 20 minutes. This isn’t exactly work here, so take as long as you like. the more self-control you gain through this rehearsal, the happier she’ll be during the live show.

5. The Squeeze Technique

If you feel like you’re approaching climax and it’s way too early in your lovemaking, squeeze right below the head of your penis, putting pressure on your urethra. Blood will retract temporarily from the penis head and you’ll delay ejaculation.

This technique is usually used when you’re just about to have an orgasm. It’s kind of an emergency stop on your bodies automated muscle reflex. It can be uncomfortable, so the idea here is to avoid this last minute measure altogether.

6. Let Her Take the Lead

Get on your back and allow your partner to ride you cowgirl or reverse cowgirl. When a woman is on top, the underside of the penis (the most sensitive skin) is less stimulated. This will allow you to last longer.

Additionally, you won’t be using your muscles to thrust. This will give you a chance to relax and recoup for the next position.

A side benefit is that she’ll enjoy the stimulus of her clitoris rubbing on against your pelvic bone. Many women have said their favorite position is on top because they are more likely to climax due to this rubbing sensation.

7. Mental Exercises

Stop thinking about your orgasm. If you concentrate on your ejaculation, it’s bound to happen much faster. You’ll want to not only pace your thrusts but also your thoughts.

You don’t have to think of repulsive thoughts or anything when you’re getting close to climax. Rather, try to pace your excitement. Rather than getting carried away with the moment, try thinking about your technique.

You won’t have to do this forever. I promise, ultimately when your stamina is built up you can get lost in your lovemaking. However, while you’re trying to build up stamina, this is a great way to improve lovemaking technique at the same time.

8. Avoid Alcohol

Alcohol can have unpredictable results on sexual performance. Take it out of the equation by keeping it out of your bedroom routine.

I’m not telling you that you can never have a glass of wine before lovemaking. I’m simply saying you should determine the effect that alcohol has on you. You may discover that it’s a factor in your lovemaking performance.

9. Kegel Exercises

Kegel exercises help tighten the muscle that controls ejaculation. You can become familiar with this exercise by cutting off the flow of urine and then starting up again. The benefit of this technique goes beyond lasting longer in bed. After spending a few weeks practicing Kegels, you’ll find that your orgasms are more powerful altogether.

You can practice Kegels anywhere. Try them while you’re at your office desk or even in the shower every morning. They’ll be hard at first but you will build up strength in this region over time.

10. Take the Plunge

The most sensitive part of your penis is the skin just under the head. Shorter, faster thrusts are what lead to a faster orgasm in men.

When you feel like you’re getting close too soon, slowly and gently thrust yourself deep into your partner. Don’t go so deep, it’s not pleasurable for her. Make sure you know how far is too far.

Once you’re deeply penetrated, grind against your lover’s hips. If the position allows, stimulate her clitoris with your hands until she reaches orgasm while you’re plunged inside her.

Mastering this technique will not only give your partner an intense orgasm. It will also allow you to calm down and regain your composure for longer lovemaking.

Are you desperate to look good and gain muscles that will help make you look more attractive to women? Would you like to know the best and effective ways to make this dream come true?

Well, for those men and even women who want to develop their muscles effectively without needing to go on strenuous workout or strict diet, there are a couple ways that can help you achieve this goal.

First, let's consider the muscle-building foods that we should take to help us gain muscles. Many of us are already aware that protein is very important for building muscles. Proteins are considered to be the building blocks of muscles and adding protein to your meal can certainly provide you with health benefits.

When it comes to consuming proteins to gain muscles, it is important to eat excellent quality protein-rich foods. This means that you should know which foods are rich in good quality protein. Examples of foods with high quality protein are eggs, fish, yogurt, chicken breast, tuna and olive oil.

When you eat protein, it will break down into amino acids which are transported through your body then the cells of our body will select the amino acids that will help build new tissues so we need enough amino acids for muscular growth and fast replacement. When you build muscles, the main goal is fast muscle growth and replacement of tissues.

As you can observe, a lot people like athletes and gym buffs whogo muscle-building training eat several eggs in a day. Eggs contain high quality protein and other vitamins like Vitamin A, B, E and K. An egg has essential amino acids that are important in muscle growth and recovery as mentioned earlier. Experts advise body builders to consume protein every 3-4 hours daily in order to gain muscles fast and effective.

Of course, other sources of high quality protein like yogurt and olive oil prevents muscle breakdown and are responsible for fast muscle building. Furthermore, yogurt can improve your gastrointestinal health. When it comes to drinks that you should take while undergoing training or when you exercise to build muscles, the best drink is no other than water. Nothing beats water when it comes to faster metabolism, elimination of harmful toxins and overall cleansing of the body.

Apart from consuming high quality protein and drinking plenty of water to prevent dehydration, it is also suggested that you avoid eating too quickly. You should chew the food thoroughly before swallowing it so that the food can be more easily digested inside your body.

With determination and perseverance, you can certainly gain the muscles you've been wanting to have. Follow the simple tips above and for sure in no time you will build muscles fast.

Words to check for density: fat, burner, supplements, safe, diabetics, supplements, diabetes

The main topic of this article will dwell on fat burner supplements that are safe for diabetics. People today live in a world full of fast foods and stressful environment. This kind of lifestyle promotes negative diseases such as obesity and diabetes.

Keep in mind that the success of any pill or diet supplement depends on two factors – healthy lifestyle and exercise. It is then important for us to have healthy eating patterns, enough rest or sleep, and exercise.

What are the possible reasons why we have diabetes?

1. It comes with the genes, so we must be aware of our family history. We must consult the doctor regularly to check our blood sugar level.

2. We eat in excess, at the same time we indulge ourselves with unhealthy foods. This will result to obesity.

3. We do not exercise. Keep in mind that we need to move in order to enhance our muscles, burn calories, and sweat.

4. We have other medical disorder. This means that we really need to consult our physician because the danger of multiple complications is possible.

5. Emotional Stress also play a vital role in diabetes. Social and family support is very important in this stage.

In taking any supplement, one must follow the instructions of the doctors for it might be harmful to the body. It can affect the balance and body metabolism. The intake of such pills is dependent on the type of body, and level of physical exercise.

What are the fat burner supplements that are safe for diabetics?

1. Caffeine – it is better with physical exercise

2. Green Tea – best combined with workouts and exercise

3. Coleus Forskohli – it can melt out body fats at the same time maintain blood pressure.

4. Nut Kola – it is effective if matched with good exercise plan

5. Ephedra – it can give energy at the same good for muscle building.

6. Synephrine – burns calories and boost metabolism at the same time.

7. Guggul – helps in the reduction of cholesterol level in the body.

8. 7 Keto – improves thyroid glands and metabolism.

Have you ever heard a bodybuilder say, “You need to work your legs to build your arms”? While there is in fact quite a lot of truth to this advice, it also hints at a solution to break through training plateaus and pack on muscle when you’re a hard gainer. This article explains how to use exercise to anabolically “prime” your body to boost workout gains and offer a natural alternative to the use of dangerous and illegal steroids.

Exercise and adaptation responses

Most serious bodybuilders and exercisers will have experienced the frustration of training plateaus – that is the more they work out, the harder it is to make gains in muscle size and strength. Why is this? To put it very simply, the reason is that the once wide window of adaptation when beginning a workout routine for the first time has now shrunk several fold.

Weights and exercise intensities that used to stimulate muscle size and strength no longer have the same effect. Under natural (non-steroid/drug enhanced) development conditions, the human body places restrictions on adaptation to ensure survival and balance or homeostasis.

It would appear that the solution to this problem would be to increase the body’s anabolic hormone response to allow for further adapation however, the “natural regulation” process frustrates many bodybuilders and causes many to look to steroids for a solution.

Exercise and the anabolic hormone response

In an earlier article on our website we discussed the interaction of bodybuilding-type exercises and the hormonal responses associated with them. Anabolic steroids we explained are responsible not only for “building up” and enlarging various types of tissue such as muscle and bone but also for directly increasing strength, which indirectly leads to further gains in muscle size. In the same article, we mentioned that anabolic hormone response can be manipulated with exercise.

According to the NSCA – the world’s leading authority on strength and conditioning, manipulating one or a combination of the following factors can naturally boost testosterone levels:

· Exercises that use large muscle groups

· Exercises that use heavy resistance (85-95% 1RM)

· Moderate to high exercise volume (multiple exercises/sets)

· Short rest periods between exercises (How does this type of exercise create a more anabolic environment in the body?

The following are some of the suspected mechanisms leading to the increased anabolic state:

· Since control of anabolic hormone release is directly dependent on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis (the link between the hypothalamus and pituitary gland), it is possible that intense physical exercise/stress itself may stimulate increased concentrations either directly or indirectly

· Fluid shifts from the blood into the cells during intense exercise may concentrate hormone levels with no actual increase in secretion levels

· Venous pooling of blood (muscle “pump”) in the exercised muscle may increase hormone concentrations by reducing clearance and degradation in organs like the liver. It is also suspected that retention of blood in the veins of the exercised muscle may increase the time of exposure and the likelihood of the hormone binding with its specific receptor in muscle tissue

· Sarcolemmas (membranes surrounding muscles) of involved muscles are mechanically sensitized (stretched) from force generation stress and made more permeable to available anabolic hormones and growth factors

What is the suggested protocol for using exercise as an anabolic primer?

A good way for a bodybuilder to take advantage of the body’s natural anabolic priming system is to perform a combined upper and lower body routine. In other words, upper and lower body exercises are performed in the same workout session.

This type of routine can, for example be performed 2 – 3 times per week to separate any upper/lower body split programs. On the split days, you can still choose to perform just the “priming exercises” before exercising the arms and back for example.

The hormone “spike ” induced from the exercising of the large muscles of the legs early in the routine creates a greatly boosted anabolic environment for exercising the smaller, less powerful muscles of the upper body like the chest and arms. Increases in testosterone will also boost strength levels via increased motor nerve activity which will in turn, allow for more exercise-induced muscle damage and muscle growth (ideal for “hard arm size gainers”).

So to anabolically prime your body, try performing the following:

Begin your weightlifting session with 3 – 4 sets of deadlifts or squats at 85 – 95% of your 1 RM (if you don’t know your 1 RM, aim for 2 – 6 repetitions)

· Rest no longer than 60 seconds between sets

· Perform your traditional combined upper body/lower body routine or split routine as normal

· Drink a carbohydrate and protein mix drink during and after your routine as this has shown to boost IGF-I levels

In closing, this article has briefly explained the concept of “anabolic priming” using exercise. It is suggested that you experiment with other exercises that will have the same effect as squats and deadlifts to avoid boredom and ensure a varied training stimulus and sufficient anabolic response.

A question was asked of me recently about a specific product. The question was: Does Herbalife protein powder build muscle? I will answer this question so that you can learn if this product can be good for you when it comes to building muscle. Protein is the main nutrient needed to gain muscle. When you workout you are creating microscopic tears in your tissue. By ingesting protein you are speeding up the healing process thereby allowing you to build strength fast.

The answer to does Herbalife protein powder build muscle is YES. You see this product is a fat free supplement that has 5 grams of soy and whey protein and all of the 9 essential amino acids. The main things that this protein does are: satisfy and control hunger, support adequate protein intake with a low fat source of protein, and build and maintain lean mass. Everything that is needed for growth is in this supplement. The best thing about this protein is that it not only has whey protein which is in normal supplements, but also has soy protein which helps your muscle differently. By taking this anywhere from 1 to 4 times a day you are going to be doing the right thing towards helping you build muscle.

Now of course you must workout as well as take the protein powder. If you don’t then obviously you will not get the results. Does Herbalife protein powder build muscle was such a good question to be asked of me. It allowed me to take a deeper look at this product and inform people who might be considering purchasing this supplement. Take this and you will be taking step one in the right direction.

Ever wish your butt looked like one of those swimsuit model’s butts in a tiny bikini? Who doesn’t, right? But don’t be fooled into thinking that you can’t have that butt–you can! Here are a few of the best butt exercises that will get you the results you want. They may be somewhat unconventional but way more fun and let’s face it, you’ll be having fun and getting fit at the same time which means it won’t really feel like work to get the butt you’ve always wanted!

The best butt exercise for your butt is inline skating, also known as rollerblading. This exercise is so good for the glutes, thighs, and abs. You can pick up a pair for $20 all the way up to $150 depending on the type and quality. But for a 30 minute blade around the park everyday, all you need is a decent pair that’s comfortable and preferably has rubber wheels. This helps to absorb some of the shock; saving your knees. For first-timers I would recommend investing in a pair with brakes, also knee and elbow pads, and even gloves wouldn’t be a bad idea. There is a learning curve involved, but it’s just like riding a bike-once you learn how it sort of becomes second nature. But if rollerblading isn’t your thing, ice skating will give you the same result. Any activity where you have to use your legs to push against your body weight is a great exercise for not just your legs but your butt too, since the legs have to rely on the glute muscles to perform.

Another activity that is great for the butt is hiking. Or, if hiking is a bit too much, just walking at an incline will do more for your butt than walking level or downhill. The reason hiking is one of the best butt exercises is because the terrain varies therefore you work different parts of the butt and at different intensities throughout the workout. Which means the muscles firm up much faster.

The third best butt exercise is swimming. Swimming has been shown to be the best exercise for any part of the body because it offers resistance without putting much stress on the joints. However, to get better and faster results, you will want to supplement these activities with an at home workout DVD. I highly recommend the Brazil Butt Lift DVD. I would rollerblade, hike, or swim in the morning; and then do the Brazil Butt Lift at night. And I found that by doing these activities with the added intensity of the exercises in the Brazil Butt Lift it completely transformed my butt from a dimpled cellulite butt to a super sexy supermodel butt. And it can do the same for yours!
