			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- WSA: rules for context '336x280' said: don't show ad -->Bodybuilding is an amazing thing and the variety or magnitude of effort that every bodybuilding enthusiasts put in is even more amazing. Nutrition is also one of the most important aspects associated with bodybuilding that people take very seriously.</p>
<p>Nutrition helps the body with the internal elements that the body needs to build good bulky muscle in a short period of time. We all are aware of the fact that the right nutrition at the right time can work wonders for the body and this is the reason that many people are running behind any diet regimen or nutrition tips that promises them with prompt results.</p>
<p>Bodybuilding is all about a concentrated long time effort to build muscles and this process can get hampered if your body does not get the right nutrition. Here we are going to look at the nutrition tips that will provide you with the nutrition that will really help you to gain more muscles.</p>
<p>The basic logic behind this revolutionary nutrition regimen is that it banks not on the type of food that you eat, but the time they are absorbed by the body. This is really important as you need to when your body absorbs the nutrients from the foods you eat. So you will learn about the foods that you have to take and the timing of the food so that your body can use it to its advantage.</p>
<p>The timing of the consumption of food holds a lot of importance if you are trying to build muscles. People often tend to eat a lot and then burn off the calories through a rigorous iron pumping session. Now this is something that does not help in the long term and this is why you need to eat the right amount at the right time while going through your usual bodybuilding exercise regimen.</p>
<p>Recent researches have tried to find out the implications of protein and carbohydrates in an anabolic muscle building regimen. Analysis of the nutrients have provided some surprising results and based on these results the researchers have tried to answer the two major queries- what are the nutrients that one should consume before or after the workout sessions and what are the specific benefits of consuming the nutrients at a said time?</p>
<p>Well, you need to take a combination of Creatine, whey protein and carbohydrates. This is definitely going to provide you the nutrients that the body needs and you need to take the cocktail just before your weightlifting session. You need to repeat the same cocktail intake after completing your workouts to provide the maximum benefits to the body. This definitely points to the fact that it is the timing that matters the most rather than what you take.</p>
<p>One hour prior to and after the weightlifting sessions is considered to be the best time to consume the nutrients as your body fully utilizes the same to build lean muscles. The carbohydrate and protein is completely used by the liver and turned into lean muscles just after grueling workout sessions and this timing is generally the one hour mark after the workout.</p>
<p>The amount of the nutrients that is recommended to make the cocktail is whey carbohydrates (75-100 g), protein (30-50 g), and creatine monohydrate (3-5 g). Try out these tips and see your muscles growing like never before!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- WSA: rules for context '336x280' said: don't show ad -->I&#8217;ve been blessed with some pretty big and round shoulders that have come as the result of many a <strong>bodybuilding workout </strong>and because of that I get asked a lot at the gym what I do for my shoulders. Most of the time I flip on the guy asking and ask him to tell me what he does in his deltoid <strong>bodybuilding workout</strong> because this way I feel I can much better and much more easily assess the situation.</p>
<p>More often then not here&#8217;s what I find in deltoid <strong>bodybuilding workout </strong>and why I feel these programs are ineffective and incomplete for complete deltoid development. Most of the time the workouts consisted of raises and presses and nothing much more and the worst part is that all exercises targeted the middle and front deltoids and included no exercises for the rear delt. The result of this type of workout is strength imbalance in the shoulders and that makes them less stable.</p>
<p>That loss of stability is bad for a lot of reasons but mainly because you increase your risk for injury in an area that&#8217;s already highly susceptible to injury. Dislocations and rotator cuff injuries are common for bodybuilders so it&#8217;s important to do everything you can to prevent them and training your rear delts in your <strong>bodybuilding workout</strong> is one such way.</p>
<p>What may bother you more then the added susceptibility to injury is that not training your rear delts will also result in decreased strength in important lifts such as the bench press, the shoulder press and practically every other upper body lift.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve hit a plateau in your <strong>bodybuilding workout</strong> and you&#8217;ve noticed that your upper body lifts have plateaued I would strongly recommend you start training your rear delts. You plateau because you can only lift as much as your shoulders can support and if you notice your rear delts are at the bottom of lifts like the bench press and the shoulder press.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- WSA: rules for context '336x280' said: don't show ad -->If you&#8217;re using a <strong>bodybuilding workout</strong> to train and your ultimate goal is to have a well-balanced physique then I highly recommend what you&#8217;re probably not doing&#8230; train your weakest muscles first.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s crazy but as personal trainer I can&#8217;t tell you how many people I&#8217;ve talked to who complain about having a weak body part/ muscle and when I ask them if they&#8217;ve ever trained that weak muscle at the beginning of their <strong>bodybuilding workout</strong> I usually get a blank stare in return&#8230;</p>
<p>You know the look a deer gives when it&#8217;s about to get hit and run over by a mack truck.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s exactly what will happen to your weakest muscles if you train them at the beginning of your <strong>bodybuilding workout</strong>&#8230; They&#8217;re going to get run over by a mack truck!</p>
<p>You see most of my clients are guys and as guys we have a natural tendency to only want to train our strongest muscles. Sometimes it&#8217;s just to impress the ladies at the gym (it&#8217;s all good) and sometimes it&#8217;s just to boost our own ego and look at our biggest muscles in front of the mirror at the gym.</p>
<p>Any way you look at it, you have to realize that you have a weak muscle and it&#8217;s going to need special attention if you want it too keep up with the rest of your muscles.</p>
<p>I should also mention that we all also have strong muscle groups&#8230; muscles that basically grow sometimes by just looking at them! I&#8217;m not saying you have to stop working those muscles out but you should pay more attention to your weak muscles if you want a well proportioned body.</p>
<p>One of my clients is this guy with a HUGE barn door back. I have a big back but this guy has a wider back then mine but he has puny and skinny arms which makes him look kinda silly if you ask me&#8230;</p>
<p>Sure enough when I asked him for the past few years in his<strong> bodybuilding workout</strong> he&#8217;s been working out his back first and then his biceps right after.</p>
<p>Guys if you&#8217;re working out your back and then you hit your biceps, your biceps are already &#8220;tired&#8221; from the back workout because your biceps are an ancillary muscle to most back exercise. Basically your biceps help out your back (more if you&#8217;re a beginner) when you&#8217;re doing your back exercises and by the time you get around to your biceps workout your biceps are already exhausted and that&#8217;s how NOT to get your muscles to grow.</p>
<p>If you have a similar problem, I recommend that you move your biceps to the beginning of your back/biceps <strong>bodybuilding workout </strong>and train your biceps while they&#8217;re fresh and they can move a maximum amount of weight. I guarantee you&#8217;ll see better results.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- WSA: rules for context '336x280' said: don't show ad -->Pretty much any guy I talk to who wants to start working out want to do 3 things with all of his bodybuilding efforts&#8230; he wants to build a huge chest,<strong> </strong>build huge guns and get huge shoulders that he&#8217;ll have trouble walking through doorways with&#8230; we&#8217;ll do arms and shoulders another day&#8230; today I&#8217;m going to show you how to build a huge chest with a compound set <strong>bodybuilding workout</strong>.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re going to<strong> </strong>build a huge chest<strong> </strong>by utilizing two old-school Joe Weider principles of pre-exhaustion and compound sets in this <strong>bodybuilding workout</strong>. I&#8217;m not really sure if compound sets are actually a principle or just a training technique but either way I know the combination of these two works like crazy to blow up your muscles&#8230;</p>
<p>A<strong> compound set</strong> just means you&#8217;re going to do one really long set of two different exercises back-to-back with no break in between. So you&#8217;ll do one set of something for 10 reps and then we&#8217;re going to follow that up immediately (without a break) by another exercise for 6-8 reps.</p>
<p>The pre exhaustion principle works like this&#8230;</p>
<p>So we&#8217;re going to be doing 2 exercises back to back for one compound set&#8230; the first exercise in a pre exhaustion compound set is always some type of isolation movement followed by a compound movement or a multi-joint movement.</p>
<p>Ok so let&#8217;s build a big chest<strong> </strong>with a<strong> </strong>pre exhaustion <strong>bodybuilding workout</strong>.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the <strong>bodybuilding workout</strong> I challenge you to try if you want to build a huge chest:</p>
<p>1st compound set</p>
<p>Incline dumbell flyes (10 reps) followed by incline bench press (6-8 reps)</p>
<p>2nd compound set</p>
<p>Flat dumbell flyes followed by Flat bench dumbell presses</p>
<p>3rd set (regular set)</p>
<p>Weighted dips (go heavy pussy!)</p>
<p>4th set</p>
<p>Cable flyes (so all the chicks at the gym can see your chest popping out of your damn shirt)</p>
<p>A couple of notes regarding this<strong> </strong>pre exhaustion compound set <strong>bodybuilding workout</strong>: Go heavy but don&#8217;t be stupid&#8230; your muscles will be severely weakened by the isolation movements at the beginning of your pre exhaust compound sets.</p>
<p>There you have it&#8230; build a rock hard chest with this <strong>bodybuilding workout.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- WSA: rules for context '336x280' said: don't show ad -->One of my favorite Bicep <strong>bodybuilding workout</strong> is a super-set of seated-alternating-dumb bell curls and standing-alternating dumb bell curls.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what a seated-alternating-dumb bell-curl looks like:</p>
<p><img src="http://wickedmuscle.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/alternate_curl_2.jpg" alt="alternate_curl_2.jpg" width="216" height="206" /></p>
<p>You want to make sure you keep these curls as strict as possible.</p>
<p>No swinging allowed in the 1st half of the super-set!</p>
<p>Keep your back at a 90 degree angle to the bench and concentrate at the top of the movement and make sure you squeeze your bicep at the top of the curl. Hold the weight at the top of the movement and keep the stress of the weight direction the peak of your bicep. Don&#8217;t worry too much about the amount of weight you move during this portion of the <strong>bodybuilding workout.</strong></p>
<p>Try to get in about 8 reps per arm and pay most attention to strict form. If you can do more, add more weight on your next set. Ideally you&#8217;ll be in the 6-8 range.<strong> </strong>It is very important that you pick a weight in the 1st half of the super-set that will thoroughly fatique your biceps within 6-8 reps.</p>
<p>Next you&#8217;ll move to standing-alternating-dumb bell-curls for the second half of this <strong>bodybuilding workout</strong>.</p>
<p><a title="alternatedumbellcurls.jpg" href="http://wickedmuscle.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/alternatedumbellcurls.jpg"><img src="http://wickedmuscle.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/alternatedumbellcurls.jpg" alt="alternatedumbellcurls.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Now with the 2nd half of this super-set you&#8217;re allowed to cheat a little and incorporate some swing into the movement to get the weight up if you have to. During this part of the <strong>bodybuilding workout </strong>you won&#8217;t pay as much attention to form as you will to just get the weight up.</p>
<p>The key with these last few reps is to just annihilate your biceps.</p>
<p>Try to get in at least 4-8 reps per arm.</p>
<p>If you do this super-set right you should be whining like a little girl after like 1 or 2 reps into the 2nd half of the super set of this <strong>bodybuilding workout</strong>.</p>
<p>Remember the key is to thoroughly fatigue your biceps with the weight you choose in the 1st half of the exercise!</p>
<p>You should literally have to swing the weight to get it up in the 2nd half of the super-set.</p>
<p>Go try it and let me know what you think of this <strong>bodybuilding workout</strong>.</p>
