I'm Writing A Bodybuilding Book - Please Help!

Filed Under (Blog) by Dane on 14-02-2008

Hey Guys,

I'm currently writing a book about bodybuilding. It includes sections on diets for muscle gain and fat loss, workouts, motivation help, my recommendations on supplements and it's about half done so far. It's a fully comprehensive book that takes you the reader through all the steps of bodybuilding and teaches some shortcuts and tips that you wont hear unless you've been training for a long time.

If you want a free copy of the book which is going to be sold for $67 then please give me some idea's of what I can add to the course that would be valuable to you. What is your biggest questions about anything to do with bodybuilding? How can I make it easier to understand, or add in extra information that you think would improve the book.

All you have to do is leave a comment after this post (or email me at info [at] bodybuilding-guru.com) with your advice or tips for the book. Once the book is finished in about 2 weeks time I'll send you a free copy to review and ask for your help with the final touches.

Thanks very much for your help and I hope to be hearing from you soon!

All the best,

Dane

The Importance Of Mixing Your Weight Training Up

Filed Under (Blog) by Dane on 21-12-2007

With the grind and tear that you get from a hard workout, it is vital that you change the muscle groups you work out each day. There is a good chance of becoming injured if you lift day after day with the same muscles. Many people recommend lifting every other day, but then you will just be missing out days that you could be getting bigger.What you want to do is have a set schedule for your weight training and go from there. Whether it is upper body on one day and legs on the next or arms and shoulders one day and back and legs the next, you just want to makes sure that you mix up the muscles lifted. If you think you are tough and try to cheat the system, you will end up injuring yourself and sitting out for however long it takes to heal.

It is interesting to go to the gym and see the same people day after day in the weight room. This is more than fine, and kind of motivating to try and go as much as them. What is dumbfounding is watching them go in and work out the same muscles every day. Then, of course, there is that period of time that will not see them anymore. Certainly they could be on a long vacation, but chances are they injured themselves.

Every time this topic comes up, people get worried and jump to an every other day workout. There are a couple of problems by doing this. One is that you overload yourself on the days that you actually do work out. By skipping a day, you have to lift every muscle group just to make it worthwhile.

If you only lift upper body one day and lower body the next, you are only lifting each section once or twice a week. And in order to properly weight train, there is a lot more lifting that is needed. Because of these problems, the only logical thing to do is lift every day with one day off, but switch the muscle groups you lift.

The reason injuries occur is because the various muscle groups get worn down. If you lift each muscle group every other day, you are giving the muscle groups the time they need to rest. Also by doing this, you will now be able to fit each muscle group in three times a week without overworking them.

The next time you think about lifting several days in a row with the same muscles, reconsider your options. Balance and rest are the keys to building muscle, and switching your weight training program every day will help you accomplish this.

The Essentials of Weight Training and Strength Training

Filed Under (Blog) by Dane on 17-12-2007

So you want to know what the essentials of weight training and strength training? Weight training and strength training are used by different types of athletes. The weight trainer wants to bulk up, while the strength trainer wants to build strength. Do you want to build strength in your muscles or get you muscles bulkier and bigger? Well if you do then this article is for you. In this article you will find out the difference between weight training and strength training, how to get your muscles bulkier and bigger or how to just strengthen them.Strength training is not that much different then weight training in that when you weigh train you are actually causing small tears in your muscles and over time when these muscles heal they become stronger.

The only difference between strength training and weight training is that although it is basically the same idea strength training is geared to making your muscles stronger. A lot of athlete’s strength train for there sports that they play, they do this so that there muscles will build quite a bit of stamina and be faster then they would be if the athlete did not strength train. Football player’s baseball players even hockey players and runners as well as many other different athletes all strength train for the purpose of building stamina and strength. If you want to become more muscular then weight lifting is for you.

In both weight lifting and strength training you build strength it is just that with weight lifting the goal is to gain big muscle mass, or to gain a lot of bulk, while strength training is just for the strength. As I was saying a body builder for example will workout and make little tears in his muscles and then when it heals he can lift more weight and so then eventually over time gain the bulk that is wanted as a bodybuilder. So there you have it the essentials of weight training and strength training. It is really interesting that although very much the same strength training and weight training are very different as well. If you are a woman trying to get stronger and maybe toned and get that lean sexy body then weight training is not the exercise for you but strength training would be a great workout. These exercises are for both men and woman and many woman use weight training as well.
