<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #dddddd;">He</span><span style="background-color: white;">re's exactly how to get ripped 6 pack abs, based on my personal experience. And many of the ways you can unknowingly sabotage your efforts.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Find out what you're doing wrong and correct it. And find out what you're doing right to get chiseled abs, and do more of it. And, here's what to do...</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: white;">Is Working Out Working Out For You?</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I know just working out never worked for me. I wanted ripped 6 pack abs, and I read that diet was important, but come on - it didn't seem like it was <b><i>that</i></b> important!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">So I did kettlebell swings and push ups and ab crunches. And I wasn't able to get ripped - it was pretty infuriating.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">It wasn't until I decided to commit, read everything out there about getting ripped, and meticulously plan my diet that I began to see results. My first tries weren't always sustainable, but they showed me how important what I ate was. And how dieting down was of singular importance.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I want to save you a lot of that time and frustration that I spent. So that you can get ripped easier, faster, and with less effort than I was able to. And do it in such a way that you can keep your ripped looks for as long as you want.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: white;">Body Fat Percentage Is Number One</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">If you want a ripped 6 pack, you need a low body fat percentage. And nothing else- I've known scrawny, un-muscular guys with ripped abs simply because they don't have a lot of body fat.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Of course, if you want a muscular ripped 6 pack you will need to do some abdominal exercises. But without that low body fat percentage, nobody will see them.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">And how do you get a low body fat percentage to get chiseled abs? You diet.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: white;">So, Diet Is More Important Than Exercise!</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Diet is more important than exercise. What you eat, how many calories you eat, and devising a diet that you can live with is of primary importance.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">See, you can use any diet to lose fat. Eating 6 small meals a day, eating a high fat diet, or a high carbohydrate diet, or a high protein diet, or a south beach, or a whatever-diet-is-popular-this-month diet to get your ripped 6 pack can work.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I like to count calories, which gives me the most flexibility. This means that I can eat whatever I want, as long as it's in my calorie budget, and satisfy my cravings.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">For example, for a few days I'll eat a lot of sliced turkey (mostly protein) and baked butternut squash (vegetable carbohydrates), which means I can eat a lot of that stuff (lots of food, but not a lot of calories). But after a few days I'll get a fat craving, so I can eat full fat greek yogurt, bacon, and dark chocolate - though not very much.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Getting a ripped 6 pack means you have to have a very tight control of how much you're eating. So I think counting calories, not matter what other diet scheme you use, is the best method - based on my personal experience.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: white;">Now What?</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Getting chiseled abs will never be really easy. Otherwise, everybody would be ripped! But it's certainly doable, if you do it right.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">These 6 pack tips will help you develop chiseled abs. Now, it takes a little bit of time to get ripped, but these tips will minimize that time greatly.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">So, try them out. I think you'll be surprised at how much they help!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: white;">1. Eat Less</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">OK, if you want to get 'ripped' abs then you need to lose body fat. Nobody will be able to see your abs, no matter how big they are, if you have fat covering them.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">And the only way to lose body fat is to eat less. That's as simple as it gets. Nobody likes to diet, but there it is.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Once you get your body fat low enough, your muscles (especially your abs) will start shining through. You'll look more ripped and hotter, even though you've just lost weight.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: white;">2. Lose 1 To 1.5 Pounds A Week</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Lose only a little bit of fat each week. Don't go on a crazy, crash diet and try to lose a ton of weight quickly - you'll just be hurting your progress.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Why? Well, if you lose weight any faster than 1 or 1.5 pounds a week, you'll be losing about half fat and half muscle after that. Which is not a good ratio; muscle is precious like gold, and you should protect it at all costs!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Of course, this does not mean that it'll take longer for you to reach your goal. You'll be taking the most efficient path to getting ripped.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: white;">3. Lift Weights</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Lifting weight is vitally important for getting a ripped 6 pack. Weight lifting will not only build up your muscles, it'll help you retain muscle mass when you're dieting and burn calories.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Now, your weight training program doesn't need to be incredibly complicated. Just lifting once or twice a week, if you work hard, is fine.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Oh, and for your routine, keep it simple. Don't go overboard with tiny lifts, like bicep curls and calf extensions. Sweat and work hard with a few big lifts like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, standing presses, clean and presses, and weighted chin-ups.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Ab exercises are useful, but only after you're lost most of the body fat you need to lose. That's the time to start worrying about making your abdominal muscle bigger.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: white;">4. Tea and Espresso</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Green tea and coffee (especially espresso) will help you lose weight. And not for the reasons you might think.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">First off, neither of theses have any calories. OK, maybe if you have five shots of espresso it'll be two or three, but it's essentially zero. Which makes them much better to drink than orange juice, milk, or triple-mocha-frapa-latte-whatever-with-three-shots-of-vanilla.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Both tea and coffee also have caffeine, which help to mobilize fatty acids (so you can burn fat for fuel easier) and keep you active. Again, this won't make up for a crappy diet, but it will help when paired with good eating habits.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: white;">5. Get Cold</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Getting cold will help you drop fat. Not a ton, but some.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">See, your body burns a lot of energy each day to keep you at a constant body temperature. If you get cold, either by turning down there thermostat, taking cold showers, wearing less layers, or drinking tons of cold water, you'll lose weight faster.</span></div>
</div>
<div id="article-resource" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
These 6 pack abs training techniques will get you ripped faster. With just a few simple changes to your workouts and eating, you'll start looking much hotter. That' simple.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b>Don't Do Abs!</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Don't work your abs?! Yes, this'll actually help you get your abs faster.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
See, getting ripped abs doesn't have a lot to do with how big your abdominal muscles are. It hinges more on how little body fat you have.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
So skip the work on your abs and spend the bulk of your time planning your diet. A well planned diet to cut fat will do way more for your abs than any amount of crunches or curls.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b>Get The Right Body Fat Percentage</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Like I said before, having ripped abs is all about having a low body fat percentage. That's it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
See, when guys get down below 10% body fat, and ladies get down below 17%, they'll begin to be able to see their abs. That's the long and the short of it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
So if you can't see your abs right now - drop some fat! If you're serious about getting ripped, (1) measure your current body fat percentage and (2) then lose fat and track your progress.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Measure, diet, track yourself, measure, diet, track yourself... It might seem boring, but it's actually the winning formula.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b>Lift Heavy Stuff</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Lift heavy stuff. For most of us, this means weights like barbells and dumbbells. Why? They work!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Barbells and dumbbells will build up your major muscles, which is what you want to do in addition to losing fat. You can cut lots of fat off and you'll look 'ripped', but more muscle will make you look even more ripped.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Also, heavy lifts will work your abs in addition to your big muscle work. Lifts like the standing barbell press not only work to strengthen your arms and shoulders, but also strengthen your abs and all your supporting muscles.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
So, lift big and heavy!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b>Add Some Cardio</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Do some cardio to burn off your fat. Not a ton, mind you, but 30 minutes of extra running a few times a week will really help you. And sprinting is great too.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
And even just a few days a week is fine. It's just another way to increase the number of calories you're burning.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
But...</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Don't get carried away with cardio. It is great for burning some extra calories, but if you burn too many calories too quickly, you'll start losing lots of muscle instead of fat.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
You can only lose about 1 to 1.5 pounds of weight a week that's fat. Beyond that, about half the weight you lose will be fat, and half will be your valuable and hard-won muscle.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
1.5 Pounds of fat a week is fine.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b>Drink Tea, Coffee, and Water</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
OK, both tea and coffee contain caffeine, which will not only keep you alert and active, but also help mobilize fatty acids from you fat tissue. Meaning, they'll help you lose fat.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Tea, especially green tea, is great for fat loss for reasons beyond just its caffeine content. It's very intriguing, and you don't need to understand the biochemistry behind how it works- just drink green tea.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
So just use these five 6 pack ab training techniques and you'll start getting ripped - fast! They aren't big changes, but together they'll speed up your progress.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Here's 5 bodybuilding tips and tricks that will help you build your body faster. True, you can put on muscle without using these idea. But why make it hard on yourself?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: white;">1. Go Big To Little</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Start your workout with big lifts. Squats, bench presses, standing presses, and deadlifts - the good stuff!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Then, if you need to and have the time, use smaller lifts to specialize your body. Maybe use bicep curls (even though I hate them myself) if you want your biceps bigger. Or other smaller lifts to focus on body parts that you want improved.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">My main point is that you should do the lifts that give you the most bang for your buck, time wise and energy wise, first. Then move on the exercises that will take more energy for less returns. Make your time count.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: white;">2. Want More Muscle? Eat Before You Workout!</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">OK, you've probably heard that eating right after your workout is important. And there's more than a grain of truth to that. But eating before you workout is even better!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Here's one of the important things that happens when you eat. You're giving your body the fuel and materials it needs to build your body up bigger and stronger. That means that as soon as you damage your muscles by lifting weights, you've got protein and food already digesting - giving your body the ability to start immediately building new muscle.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: white;">3. Count Your Calories</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Want to put on weight, as muscle? Eat more.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Lose weight, as fat? Eat less.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">These are the basics. Now if you want to be certain about your weight loss, or stay good while just gaining muscle, count your calories to make sure you're eating exactly the right amount.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">It is a pain in the ass, but... It works. End of story.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: white;">4. Don't Whine About Your Setbacks or Your Genetics</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">These days, everybody seems to be focused on why they can't reach their goals. "I have bad genetics," or, "I don't have the time," or whatever.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">If you really want it badly enough, you'll find the time. You'll find the time to work hard, really find out everything you need to know, and work around the setbacks in your life.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Everybody has stuff that doesn't go as planned. Everybody has family obligation and work and 10,000 reasons to not get their workout done.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">But some people get to the gym and make progress. And others just don't. Which will you be?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: white;">5. Find A Routine That Works, And Stick With It</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Lastly, when you find a routine that works for you and that's giving your results, stick with it! Do not change anything!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I meet so many people who say, "Well, my routine is working, but I want to get results faster so I...". If you're getting consistent results, don't do anything different. Really.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">In the beginning virtually anything works, but as you lift longer and longer it becomes harder and harder to put on more muscle. If you're making progress, don't risk shooting yourself in the foot by changing things up. Keep on keeping on, and you'll reach your goals.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">In this article I will share with you proven eating and training strategies that will help you to add high quality lean muscle mass to your frame.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I know that you want to gain weight, but the fact is that you do not want to gain any kind of weight. You see, a lot of people who are new to fitness do not realize that gaining weight is not about eating whatever the hell you want and increase your body fat stores. No way! Gaining weight is about gaining high quality lean muscle mass so eventually you would have an aesthetically pleasing physique. Got it?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Now let me share with you few simple tips that will help you to achieve that:</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Increase your daily caloric intake</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I know that you have probably heard this before, but the fact is that there is only one way to make your body grow and that is to increase your daily energy intake. Energy which is needed to make your body grow can only come from calories, therefore the first step you need to take if you want to start gaining lean muscle mass is to increase your daily caloric intake.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The fact is that some calories will make you fat, whereas other will make you gain high quality lean muscle mass. To avoid gaining body fat make sure that you get your calories from high quality proteins, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Start lifting weights</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">To start gaining high quality lean muscle mass you will need to start pumping iron. The single most effective way to start gaining weight quickly is to combine a good eating plan with a good weight training workout plan.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">At the end of each weight training session your muscle fibers will break down on a micro level and once they will recover they will grow bigger and stronger.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Forget about supplements</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">A lot of people who are new to gaining weight think that there is some sort of pill or powder that will make things easy. The fact is that all of these pills and powders that are promoted by the fitness gurus will not make you big!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Everything that works is right in front of you. Stop looking for secrets, stick to the basics, take the baby steps and move one step at a time.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Apply proven eating and training principles and you will add high quality lean muscle mass to your frame.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">In a previous article, I suggested a 5-day workout routine, which is mainly focused on training each body-part separately every day. For example: Monday-Chest, Tuesday-Arms, Wednesday-Shoulders, Thursday-Back, Friday-Legs and Weekend-Rest. Although I believe that the ideal workout is the one that you devote a single workout to a single body-part, most of us do not have the available time to execute such an overloaded weekly training schedule.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">So, what is the best alternative? Your goal still remains to train each body-part at least once a week. In order to achieve that without having to go to the gym every day, you must combine training a major body-part along with a minor at the same day. Here is a typical example of a 3-day workout routine:</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Monday: Chest-Biceps</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">1) Barbell or Dumbbell Shoulder Press 4 sets x 12,10,8,8</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">2) Arnold Dumbbell Press 3 sets x 12,10,8</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">3) Dumbbell Raise (Front or side) 3 sets x 12,10,8</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Always train the major body-part first: Chest, Back, Legs and continue with the minors: Biceps, Triceps, Shoulders (Shoulders are considered as a medium size body-part, so whenever you have the chance train them separately). You can shuffle the exercises of each body part the way you like, but keep in mind that main exercises like bench press for chest, squat for legs or shoulder presses should be executed first.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">If you are currently on a mass or volume workout routine, then lift maximum weight and decrease your reps. I call this training schedule "3-day workout routine". However, if you have some extra time you can perform it four or even five times a week. Just keep in mind to rotate the workouts. For example, if you add training session on Thursday, then work on your legs and shoulders on Thursday and on Friday train your chest and biceps. Never break the sequence of the above-mentioned workout routine so that all body-parts are being trained the same.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em;">Whether you are on the 3-day or the</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em;"> </span><a href="http://www.strengthtrainingmuscle.com/2011/04/5-day-workout-routine.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #610000; line-height: 1.5em;" target="_new">5-day workout routine</a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em;">, remember that muscle build is a result of three different factors: Training, nutrition and resting. Each one of these factors is equally important.</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em;"> </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">One of the most important things in bodybuilding is body symmetry. A symmetrical body is the one where all body parts are being trained and developed equally. However, sometimes you need to focus your training to specific body parts more than others. The reason is that due to individual genetics, certain body parts grow faster and better than others. I am sure that you have noticed people who have a wide chest or big arms before they even start training.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">So, in order to achieve body symmetry the only way is to focus your workout to the weaker body parts without neglecting of course the rest of the body. Since the majority of the male population dream of having big arms, I will suggest an extreme seven weeks killer arm workout for those who believe that their arms need drastic improvement.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em;">Week One</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em;"> </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">In this first week you need to smoothly adapt and prepare your arms to what is coming to them the following weeks. You will work on your arms twice this week. Preferably on Monday and on Thursday, in order to allow a resting period of three days. You must hit your arms really hard right from the beginning. Choose three bicep and three triceps exercises and perform those combined (super-sets). Lift about 80% of your maximum weight lift and keep your rep range around 10 reps. Do not rest more than 35 seconds between the sets and no more than 90 seconds between the exercises. In previous articles, I suggested specific exercises for both biceps and triceps. However, in this article I will only describe the workout method.</span></div>
</span><br />
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em;">Week Two</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em;"> </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">After the first week, you will probably have sore arms. This is normal and it means that you have done a great job. During the second week you will let your arm muscles recover and prepare for the following three weeks, which are going to be the main core of our training. So, train your arms on Monday and Thursday again, but use only about 60% of your maximum weight lift. Increase your rep range at 12 reps per set and allow yourself resting periods of 45 seconds between sets and two minutes between exercises.</span></div>
</span><br />
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em;">Weeks Three to Six</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em;"> </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Now is the time to really exhaust and destroy muscle fibers. You will train your arms three times a week (Monday-Wednesday-Friday). Lift as much as you can and keep your rep range at eight reps. Rest for 30 seconds between the sets and for 80 seconds between exercises. The most important thing during this phase is to keep intensity at the highest level. If in any point you feel that you are not in the verge of fainting, then add more weight or do some reps extra. After leaving the gym you shouldn't be able to lift your arms higher than your eye level.</span></div>
</span><br />
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em;">Week Seven</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em;"> </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Now is the time to give your arms the chance to recover and capitalize the work of the previous four weeks. Do not even think about continuing the previous tempo if you want to avoid over-training. Over-training is a situation where after long extreme training cramps, fatigue, injuries and mental exhaustion appear. Switching to normal arms workout in time will not get you in any risky situations. So, during this last week do what you did on week two and make sure to decrease the intensity of your arms workout. After week seven, you can return to your normal training sessions.</span></div>
</span><br />
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">If you follow this training method and combine it with proper supplementation and nutrition, you will witness your arms grow like they never did before. Nevertheless, no matter how excited you are I wouldn't recommend following this <a href="http://www.strengthtrainingmuscle.com/2011/03/super-sets-for-bigger-arms.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #610000;" target="_new">arm workout</a> more than twice a year. After all, the rest of your body also needs your attention.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Bodybuilding for beginners may seem to be a very difficult task at hand. It is normal to feel that way especially about something life-changing such as bodybuilding. Since it will be your first time to actually do a workout routine in order to build your muscles, you will need some tips that you need to remember in order to successfully make muscles fast.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Knowing Your Body Type</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">There is a need to find out what body type you have. Are you on the thin side? Are you on the heavy side? Do you easily build muscles? It is important to consider how your metabolism works. This is because you will have to build your exercise plan entirely focused on the type of body you have and the areas you will need to develop as you go along the way.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The Specific Exercises For You</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Now that you know your body type, you will need to consider the exercises you will need to do. You will also need to know which of the specific areas in your body that needs more workout than the others. Is it your chest area? It is your legs and thighs? Is it your abdominal area? Is it your arms and biceps?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Once you figure this out, make an exercise routine that is intended to develop these areas and also exercise patterns that are focused more on the specific areas you want to develop.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The Diet You Need</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Since you already know the type of body you have, you will need to plan out a diet that will help you do the exercises you need to do. You will also need to consider your metabolic rate and the need to burn extra calories or build up on the calories you seem to consume hugely.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">It is totally important that you remember the fact that your body will need all the nutrients it can get so as to do exercises that will really tire you up considerably.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Conclusions</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Bodybuilding for beginners does not need to be difficult at all. If you are planning to begin a workout plan, you will need to remember the things mentioned above. Bodybuilding is a lifestyle. You will have to maintain the body that you have and the muscles that you were able to build. This is because these muscles can turn back into fats or leave you thin again if you do not persevere enough to maintain a workout plan that will change from time to time as you get to develop your muscles and develop the strength that you did not have before.</span></div>

<div id="page-inner" style="padding: 1em 2em;">
<div id="article-body" style="font-size: 1.2em; margin-top: 18px;">
<div id="article-content">
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">In this digital age that we live in-we want everything in an instant-and maybe even that is too slow.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Same holds true for the young man or woman looking to pack on some serious muscle, they want it yesterday.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">While this kind of enthusiasm is good thing-it can also be a problem.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">In this article I am going to lay out the top two mistakes most bodybuilders make when looking to gain muscle mass as fast as possible.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white;">HEAVIER IS BETTER</strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">While adding weight to the barbell or dumbbells can be a good thing, sometimes it can be too much of a good thing.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">What I mean by this is, if you have to say, swing and contort yourself to get the weight up-you need to take some weight off the bar.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Yes, in theory you are using more weight, but if you are using every muscle in your body BUT the muscle you are trying to make grow to lift the weight-you really are not doing yourself any good.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Truthfully, you are, more than likely setting yourself up for an injury-one that could set your training back weeks or months.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Words to live by, when in doubt-take some weight off the bar or dumbbells.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white;">NOT BEING OPEN TO NEW THINGS</strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">No matter how enthusiastic you are for your training, sooner or later it will happen, you will start dreading going to the gym.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">It can be for a multitude of reasons-maybe you are over trained or your joints are hurting.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">However, some trainers simply will not back off-no they keep hammering away at what they have always done.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Sure this works for a while-but again you are just setting yourself up for failure.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Either via injury or simple burn-out.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Neither is very good for your training.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The better choice would be to take a week off of training completely.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Yes, I know this sounds crazy, but trust me on this, you will come back ready to really tear up the weights.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">And make solid gains once again.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Or you can simply take some weight off the bar so-to-speak-for a couple of weeks and try doing higher rep training.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Chances are this change will shock your muscles into new growth-and will help get rid of any joint aches and pains that you may have.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white;">CONCLUSION</strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Yes, backing off a bit from your training can be tough-from personal experience I know just how tough this can be.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">But, I urge you to give the two tips above a try-especially if your training has gone stale.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">More enthusiasm and more gains than ever could be the result.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Nothing wrong with that.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="background-color: white;">If you have been around bodybuilding for a while, you probably know the rules.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">By rules I am talking about how often you should train, how long your training sessions should be, etc.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Rules are great, but sometimes, when your muscle growth slows, you need to take a step back and try something new.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Even if it means breaking all of the so-called bodybuilding rules.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Below I am going to lay out a twice a day chest blast program that will shock your chest into new growth.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Please be advised that I only recommend this routine if you have been training for two years and have developed a solid base, if not skip this routine. :</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white;">HEAVY LIFTING</strong></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The morning part of this routine will be based around two movements, incline barbell presses and chest dips.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I chose these two exercises because while they are safer than traditional flat benches, you can still use heavy weights on them.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">For these two movements you will be doing the classic 5x5 program-that is five sets of five reps per set for a total of twenty-five reps.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Take as much time in between sets as needed-no need to rush.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white;">A POINT</strong></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Even though you want to use as much weight as possible on these exercises, please do not to forget to perform <strong>ALL</strong> reps in perfect form-remember the last thing you want is an injury.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white;">ANOTHER POINT</strong></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Ideally you want to finish the above workout in the early morning, get some protein and carbs in post-workout and then take a nap to re-charge for the evening session.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">However, I do realize that most of us (me included) cannot do that, so try and get the morning session in as early as possible and then make sure you get a solid post-workout feeding in and then get all of your meals in leading up to the evening workout.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white;">GOING FOR THE PUMP</strong></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The evening working is not geared towards strength; it is more geared towards the pump.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The two exercises you will be using are push-ups and flat bench pull-overs-done in super set fashion-which simply means the exercises are to be done back-to-back with as little rest between the two exercises as possible.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">For these two exercises you are not looking to push them to the limit, meaning do not go to failure on either of them.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white;">ANOTHER POINT</strong></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">For the push-ups, I know this sounds silly, but respect them.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Do them in good form-you can get hurt with them if you do them in sloppy form.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">For the pull-overs, do them <strong>SLOW</strong> and in control, get a good stretch.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">As far as sets, start with only two and work up to doing 5 or 6 solid sets.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white;">LAST POINT</strong></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Two workouts in one day is a brutal way to train-especially two workouts for the same body part.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">So for the next couple of days after this chest blast, make sure you take in plenty of protein and good clean carbs and healthy fats.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">After all this chest program was meant to shock your chest into new growth, so please make sure to fuel your body accordingly</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white;">CONCLUSION</strong></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">This chest specialization program is perfect for the bodybuilder who has been training for years and has seen his chest development go stale.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Avenir Next', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">If this sounds like you, do the above workout twice per week for two or three weeks and some new chest growth might just be the reward you get for all of your hard work.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Aside from the exercise routines that a bodybuilder does daily, he needs to make sure the proper bodybuilding nutrition is also maintained. Bodybuilding workouts are nothing when it is not done together with the consumption of the right kinds of foods. The two - proper nutrition and regular exercise - must always come hand in hand to come up with the most desirable results. This article will tell you the right amount of nutrition that a bodybuilder must consume in a daily basis.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white;">Workout Is Not Everything</strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Many people tend to think that bodybuilding is just about staying all day in the gym and putting all your effort into doing your exercise routines. No, bodybuilding is not just about these things. As a matter of fact, it is something beyond our expectations. It is an activity that does not just dwell from physical routines. It also nurtures the overall wellness of the person because bodybuilding requires what we call "bodybuilding nutrition".</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white;">How Important Is Nutrition?</strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">No one can deny that nutrition is very important to all of us, even to bodybuilders. As what is stated above, there is bodybuilding nutrition. It is the nutrition that bodybuilders keep up to grow and repair their muscles easier and faster than the usual. Nutrition is very important to bodybuilders as missing a single essential nutrient, might cause them to slow down the growth of their muscles. That is the reason it is very important to strictly follow a bodybuilder's diet when you are into bodybuilding training.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white;">The Nutrition Needed by a Bodybuilder</strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The nutrients needed by each bodybuilder differ from one person to another. This is because every one of us has different nutrient requirements due to different body mass index and different activities we are doing. One thing that is common among all bodybuilders is that protein is the number one need for their meal plan, to support the development of body muscles. A high-protein diet is very effective in reducing unwanted fats in your body, making it easier for bodybuilders to build a great body structure. Despite that a high protein diet is the number one preferred meal for bodybuilders, carbs and fats are still needed for bodybuilding nutrition. Carbs and fats are what complete the meal plan of a bodybuilder. These are the ones which will complete the needed nutrients in the muscle growing phase.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Following these guideline will have you on the way to your new well-built body.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Don't have the time to get to the gym but want that chiseled chest and definition to your arms? It's time to get off your ass at home because here's some push-up workout tips that will get you on track!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">There may be several machines at the gym that help sculpt your chest, but nothing is as effective as using your own body weight. Back in the day, the Olympians didn't have a bunch of chest press machines around for them to use did they? Getting back to basics will really help you see results fast.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">There are several ways and variations of push-ups one can perform, but the most important thing to keep in mind is proper form. As my mother always says, "If you can't do something right then don't bother doing it at all." She is 100% right, and it really hits home when doing push ups.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Your form is crucial, so push-ups need to be done perfectly for optimal results. When down on the ground, set your hands about slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Hand positioning is also important as the different angles you lay your hands help hit different areas of your chest. Start with your hands facing straight up so your middle finger is pointing straight ahead. Your feet can either be touching if you're more advanced, or about shoulder width apart for more stability. When performing the push up, your butt should not be sticking up in the air. A way to prevent this is to clench your butt and squeeze in your abdominal muscles when performing. Slowly lower your body while keeping in a straight line, and push your body back up in a controlled manner.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Just a few various types of push-ups include standard push-ups, triceps push-ups, diamond, one arm, feet elevated and clapping. For your at home workout, try doing all six of these push-up exercises with 2-3 sets and about 20-40 reps of each.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Standard - The most common push-up. Begin in your standard position with your hands facing straight forward and your feet somewhere between shoulder width apart (whatever is comfortable to you). While clenching your butt and contracting your abs, slowly lower your body and push your body up away from the floor. When your arms are fully extended, lower back down to the floor. <a href="http://www.gympaws.com/fitness/fit-girls/progressive-loading-weight-lifting/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #610000;" target="_new">Progressive Loading Push Ups</a> are also an option.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Triceps - This type of push-ups are very similar to the standard push-ups except you keep your arms tucked under your chest and push with your triceps.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Diamond - Another type of pushup that puts more work into the triceps muscles. To perform this correctly, your hands should be placed under your chest with your thumb and index fingers touching to create a diamond shape.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">One Arm - One of the most difficult type of push-ups since one arm is now pushing all the weight that once was two. Tuck your arm behind your back, and perform just as a normal pushup. This is a more advanced movement and is also a great triceps workout for mass!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Feet Elevated - Having your feet elevated makes it more difficult to perform. Place your feet on a bench, box, chair or stairs.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Clapping - Another very difficult push-up; clapping pushups are performed by pushing your body off the floor high enough so you are able to bring your hands together to clap before getting back into your start position.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Women and men alike admire big biceps. It is deemed to be one of the most attractive muscles on our body followed by abdominals and pectorals. We push ourselves hard in the gym, but sometimes we lack the knowledge to target a particular muscle group such as the bicep. It doesn't have to be that hard! We will discuss what exercises you want to incorporate into your workouts to maximize bicep growth, which adjacent muscle groups should be trained and how you should supplement your workouts while training the biceps.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The first step to training your biceps is understanding its structure. The bicep is composed of two smaller muscles: the brachii and the brachialis. If you are aiming at getting stronger and leaner you want to train the brachii, but make no mistake as to gain that bulky look requires you to train the brachialis muscle. It is in fact the muscle group which will give you that form and definition. Another thing to remember is that your arm and your biceps look much bigger when the triceps are also engaged. That is however another and we won't focus on the triceps here; it is simply important to keep it in mind during your workouts.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">To train your biceps you want to do several sets of curls, but not just the plain old dumbbell curls you are used to seeing at the gym. You want to incorporate both dumbbells and barbell exercises into your bicep workout, and in multiple variations. A general workout after stretching will start with the dumbbell hammer curls where each barbell is lifted slowly until it almost touches the shoulder and is brought back down. During this motion the wrist remains in the same position. This is followed by pinwheel dumbbell curls which are done by a pendulum motion of bringing the dumbbells close to your chin. The third exercise will be reverse barbell curls which will not only exercise your biceps, but will put a strain on your forearms as well. What you want to do is to grab a barbell with your fingers over the bar; this is called an overhand grip. You then simply raise the bar slowly for the full range of motion. You want to keep your arms at about shoulder width for this exercise. The last exercise to hit the biceps will be the preacher curls. For this exercise you need a stand you can usually find at the gym or you can do them over a chair if you are working out at home. You raise the barbell from its resting position until you almost hit your forehead and bring it back down. You are done!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Make sure to watch videos on how to do these exercises as they will be much more clear than anyone explaining these to you. Lastly, drink your protein or make sure you consume enough protein during the day as your biceps will require a lot to rebuild.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">One of the hallmarks of complete physique development is having six pack abs. You can pound away at the weights but if you have weak ab development or a coating of fat around it, you won't be winning a bodybuilding contest anytime soon.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The ability to get "ripped" is mostly a function of diet, with some aerobic training usually thrown in but that is not the focus of this article. We are going to concentrate on what it takes to build the muscle necessary to display great ab development.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">If you think back to gym class in grade school or high school, you may remember doing dozens of situps in an effort to "burn off fat" and strengthen the stomach muscles. Unfortunately, these old school methods are wrong on many counts.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">First of all, since the ab region is comprised of one of the smaller muscle groups in the body, doing endless sets and reps of situps and crunches will burn an insufficient amount of calories to lean you out. You are far better off using a routine consisting of compound exercises, especially ones where the legs are the main muscle being used. The reason for this is the legs require far more energy during training because they are the body's largest muscle. Thus, they burn more fat.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">More Muscle = Less Fat</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The more muscle you carry on your body, the less fat you tend to have. Muscle burns a lot of calories both when its working and when at rest. Even while relaxing muscle burns many times more calories than other tissue. So a sound strategy is to build as much muscle as possible when you are younger and preserve as much as possible as you age. If you begin bodybuilding when you are older it is still possible to add a good amount of muscle to your frame, so don't feel you are late to the game. Train hard and get plenty of rest and good nutrition and you will succeed.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Misconceptions About Ab Muscles</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">A common misconception regarding abs is they are endurance muscles, and as such, must be trained using high sets and reps in order to grow larger and stronger. This is not correct, in fact, they need to be trained in much the same way as other muscles. All muscles grow as a result of the correct amount of stress, or stimulus, put on them during a training session and respond during periods of rest. This necessitates the use of moderate weights and reps. A good rep range to use is 12-20. Vary the reps with different exercises as each rep count affects the abs in a different way.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Keep in mind that you don't want to add too much mass to the abs because that will give you a thicker waist appearance, something you want to avoid if you desire the much-sought after v-taper. Train the entire abdominal area including the upper and lower abs, serratus and obliques so you end up with complete development.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="background-color: white;">End all sets 1 rep before muscular failure. Take a 20-30 second rest between sets depending on conditioning.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em;">Lie flat on your back on the floor with your legs straight in front of you. Place your hands at your sides by the floor for support. Slowly bend your legs at the knees bringing them towards your chest. Once the knees are by your chest, raise your shoulders and torso as far as possible from the ground in a curling movement without raising your back from the floor. Return your legs to the starting position and bring your torso back to the floor.</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em;"> </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Hanging Leg Raises-1x12</span></div>
</span><br />
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Do these while hanging from a chin-up bar, preferably using ab straps for support.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Hold a dumbbell in each hand at your side. Lean as far as you can to your left side. Reverse direction and lean as far right as you can. Repeat until unable to complete another rep.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Training Details</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">All sets are to be taken to total muscular failure; that is until no more reps can be completed. Do these exercises as a giant set- as soon as you complete one exercise go to the next one without any rest. Since you are at an advanced level of High Intensity Training, one set of each exercise carried to muscular exhaustion is all you will need to build and strengthen all musculature in this region.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">As you can see there is a natural progression from beginner to advanced. The beginner ends sets 1-2 reps before failure because the main focus is on learning proper exercise form. The intermediate bodybuilder finishes his/her sets just shy of failure, continuing to emphasize proper form and adding additional resistance to the exercises to facilitate gains in strength and development.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The advanced trainee is ready to safely push himself/herself to the limit and has gained the ability to focus the resistance on the muscle. Because of a heightened level of strength and ability to apply greater intensity to the abs, three sets is all that is needed.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The usual time-frame from beginner to advanced bodybuilder is: beginner progression to intermediate three months of training, intermediate to advanced an additional 3-6 months of training.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Keep in mind there are other great exercises to train this area, I have outlined a few of the most common to get you started.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">One of the most anticipated events in the sporting world happens to be the FIFA World Cup, which is having its 20th edition this year. It is the biggest single-event sporting competition in the world and is held once every four years. Fans of the game across the globe follow the gaming action live, watch their favorite players vie for glory on the field and witness new records being set.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Brazil, which has won the title five times and are the only team to have qualified for every tournament since its start, will play host this year to the FIFA World Cup which begins on 12th June, 2014. Porto Alegre has been gearing up to host the FIFA World Cup 2014 ever since Brazil was declared as the host nation. From revamping its stadiums to upgrading its public utility services, they are leaving no stone unturned to give football fans a once in a lifetime experience.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The city has worn a festive look and going all out to impress one and all. The Estadio Beira-Rio stadium, which will be will be hosting five games, has undergone a complete makeover in preparation of the FIFA World Cup. Not only has the overall infrastructure of the stadium has been revamped to accommodate the teeming multitude of soccer fans, but an extra and creative metal roof has also been installed to cover the stands, ramps and the turnstile areas.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white;">Live action station</strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The place where all the live action will take place starting 12th June, 2014, is the Estadio Beira-Rio. The stadium is located on the banks of the River Guaiba, and has a picture-postcard setting to it. Estadio Beira-Rio, which has saw many a scintillating derby matches and has also hosted four Copa Libertadores finals, is slated to host five games in the FIFA World Cup. The match that has excited everybody is the Round-of-16 tie. Beira-Rio has a seating capacity of 50,287, a number that was largely boosted due to the construction project that the stadium authorities undertook as a part of the revamping process. Being the largest football ground in southern Brazil, the Beira-Rio has some eye-catching support features as well. Furthermore, it has superb connectivity to ease smooth inflow and outflow of spectators at the time of the matches.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white;">Weather during the World Cup</strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Porto Alegre has four very defined seasons and generally has a warm, humid temperate climate with hot summers and no dry season. Summer months have average temperatures ranging from 27ºC to 35ºC, with temperatures sometimes exceeding the 35ºC mark as well. Winters here are quite cold with records of subzero temperatures as well as heavy snow. But compared to the other capitals of Brazil, Porto Alegre has a milder climate with an annual average temperature of 19.5ºC. In the months of June-July (at the time of the World Cup), Porto Alegre is expected to have cool weather with temperatures hovering between 20-23ºC accompanied by calm to gentle breeze. Such weather conditions will not only be enjoyable for the live spectators at the stadium, but also for the players who will benefit from the absence of sweltering heat and humidity.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white;">Games and their Dates for this city</strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Porto Alegre will play host to nine teams who will play a total of five matches during the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Although the details are not known yet, what is known is that of the nine teams, one team will certainly play more than once. Even though Brazil is hosting this edition of the World Cup, the host team will not get a chance to play at the Estadio Beira-Rio at Porto Alegre.</span></div>
