Now do not get? The muscles need water. Let’s put a little more clearly: the muscles are mostly water! Therefore, it is crucial to drink plenty of water, especially during the hours of training, if you want to protect your body and maximize the muscle building process.

Diet for Bodybuilding

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

So, although it seems very basic concept, in real life there are very few people who take seriously the importance of proper diet. Just remember how many people know that all the time complain that they can not gain muscle, not enough “?” And others say they can not lose fat?

Next time, ask how many calories a day, or the amount of each nutrient they eat is more, without being so scrupulous, just find out if they have no idea what a well-designed diet.

These unprotected souls wander the world believe that the solution to increase their muscle mass training is a novel, a magic routine or exercise in particular, the truth is that things are not that simple, for cite you an example, there is a girl my gym that makes each day of the week 2 hours of cardio, imagine the following scenario, I get to the gym, I change to train, I have my meeting with weights and cardiovascular exercise, give me a tour of the juice bar and although almost I never do, (well, the truth every day) before I made a look at the climbing area to see if you still encounter a pair of firm buttocks of some feminists who encourage me to stay, then I become a charmed snake moving their eyes to the rhythm of climbing, but almost always awake from my trance when I think I should go home and take my drink for the replenishment of proteins and good, in what was?, I remember!, so the that girl, believe it or not, spend over 2 hours and she is still in the cardiovascular exercise machines!

Aerobic Exercise Does not Work

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Aerobic Exercise

You may find that surprising, but true. Aerobic exercise actually burns muscle and fat and reduces its metabolism. All that leads to muscle loss is not desirable, bearing in mind that as we age we lose 30% of our muscle anyway, approximately 1-2% per year. We can not afford to lose more. This muscle loss will increase greatly if a low calorie diet is used in conjunction with aerobic exercise.

Now I know some of you are thinking “oh so that, a bit of muscle loss is worth if I lose fat.” I would say that you think about it, it sounds a little scary again, but true. The muscle is lost not only stems from her body, but also of their vital organs and bones. That is his heart, liver, kidneys, etc. If your organs are functioning at a reduced rate, then so are your hormones. This type of system can also cause osteoporosis because their bones are 1 / 3 of protein. Actually what we are doing is aging you and you will see this on the outside, and they feel inside. I’m sure you know people who have lost too much weight in this way are tight in the face, and really old. (more…)
