I've been really
busy lately, but what else is new? I hope you're making
the time to keep your fitness in check.
This week, I'm
going to switch gears a little bit and talk about muscle gain
rather than fat loss --- although as I have said many times,
you can't have one without the other.
Enjoy!

7
Ways Not To Gain Muscle
By Dale Andrew
Gaining muscle
can be tough, but it can be downright impossible for the
average person if you do these things:
1) Read
Bodybuilding Magazines. You're not a
bodybuilder. You don't eat like a bodybuilder. You
don't have a drug plan like most bodybuilders.
So, don't get hurt pretending to be one.
2) Rely on
supplements instead of good nutrition. You need to
eat well 90% of the time. Count your misses as well as
your hits.
3) Train with
people weaker than yourself. If you want to gain
muscle, it should seem obvious that training with a scrawny
weekling will not provide any great insight.
4) Train
muscle groups to failure. Destroying your muscles
helps ensure that your next workout will be poorer as a
result...if you can even drag yourself in for a workout.
5) Don't get
enough sleep. You can't underestimate how important
recovery is to building muscle. Without it, there can be
no results. Understood?
6) Train
bodyparts. If you're reading bodybuilding magazines,
you may be training one part at a time. However, you
probably can't train with the kind of intensity or frequency
needed to make this type of training work for you. Most
people are better off doing total body or upper/lower
splits. That's just been my experience.
7) Be
inconsistent...miss workouts, weeks, or months.
Building muscle is not a short-term proposition. It's a
lifestyle. It's YEAR ROUND. Like anything else,
you can't expect results if you can't be bothered to put in
the effort and time...CONSISTENTLY.
Unhealthy
"Health" Foods
By Dr. John Berardi
Products
that claim to be "Cholesterol Free" and "Low in
Saturated Fat" often have the most trans-fatty acids.
Unfortunately these are the products that most of the public
thinks are "healthy." Remember, trans fats have
absolutely no place in the diet!
They’re the only type of fat highly associated with
very negative health outcomes.
When
it comes to nutrition, JB is the expert I turn to - and for good
reason - he has a Ph.D. in Kinesiology (with a specialization in
Exercise and Nutritional Biochemistry), has authored more than
200 articles, launched the nutrition
system
that
is rapidly becoming the industry standard and oh yeah, long
before all that, he was the 1995 Mr. Jr. USA Bodybuilding
champion.

 BOSU
Plank Tilt
1. Start in a plank position with your knees off the ground or you can
plank from your knees. Keep your body in a straight line.
2. Use your arms to tilt the BOSU forward and then back. You will
really work your arms, back and abs on this one, so make sure you do
not sag in the middle.
3. Repeat for the required number of repetitions and or time.
