Hormones are gatekeepers of body functions & regulate most of the body processes. Excess or deficiency of any hormone can have a lot of impact on your body. Any imbalance in hormones results in a side effect. e.g. acne is widely attributed to hormonal imbalances. Muscle building is no exception. Here too hormones act as gatekeepers. Your muscle building success depends a lot on how you manage these hormones. Below is a list three of the critical hormones and the role they play in muscle building. There are hormones that simulate muscle growth while some other simulate breakage of muscle tissues. 1) Cortisol This hormone has following two important functions 1) Increasing abdominal fat storage 2) Stimulates the breakdown of muscle tissue. This hormone is released if you are workout time is extended beyond the one hour mark or if you are not taking proper rest. This hormone results in breaking up of muscle tissues. So, don’t extend your workouts beyond the one hour

By: Sean M. One of the most misunderstood concepts in the world of muscle building is the protein drink. I remember when I first started supplementing my diet with protein shakes. Some of my friends asked if I had noticed any differences in my training like I was on steroids or something. If that was the only time I had been asked similar questions, I wouldn't worry as much, but since it is so common, I've decided to address the point and even show you a couple of my favourite muscle building drinks. First of all, realise that a muscle building drink is just a substitute for food. It doesn't have any magical properties, its the nutritional equivalent of grabbing a chicken breast and putting it in the blender. While your protein drink should taste a helluva lot better than a blended chicken, it's essentially delivering the same thing. Now, lets look into making the best muscle building drinks out there. What you want to put in these will depend on what you personally like and what y

This is part 4 of the series on Creatine. Part 1 focused on the loading phase of creatine. Part 2 compared Liquid Creatine vs. Creatine Powders Part 3 discussed the different types of creatine and their mixtures, including the Creatine Glutamine combination. Guest Blogger Troy Degarnham gives his opinion in this article on the Creatine and Glutamine combination. Creatine glutamine is a combination of two of the most essential components to any bodybuilding muscle supplement. Glutamine levels are very important to a weight or strength trainer because they are depleted intensely when training. Using muscles in general depletes glutamine levels and rigorous training sessions eat up glutamine faster than the body can sustain it. Glutamine is not a substance that the body can naturally create making creatine glutamine an excellent addition to any strength training individual diet. It is also well known that glutamine is a crucial element to keeping muscles healthy and strong so a so

As with anything else, most people want to achieve success fast and they usually are on the lookout for successful shortcuts to reach their goals. This is also true for increasing muscle strength. It is important to realize that strength and muscle size are interchangeable and the only method to get bigger is to get stronger. Basically it is impossible to be strong and have small muscles. Moreover, a muscle does not have to be directly stimulated in order for it to become bigger and stronger. This explains why compound exercises such as bench presses can indirectly stimulate triceps, shoulders and even back. This is also the reason why you should concentrate on big compound exercises such as squats, deadlifts, presses, pulldowns and rows. If the body is trained and rested properly, it is quite capable of making progress every week. A boost in recuperation ability allows the strength to increase every workout. Hence it means that you should vary your exercise regimen if you wan

All of these amino acids (the smallest units of protein), and leucine especially, increase the rate of muscle building and decrease the rate of muscle break down (3,4). But, if we don't construct a diet plan for building muscle mass on a day to day basis, this can be a plan for disaster for most of us. What are you hoping to achieve - weight loss, muscle building or flexibility.If you are at all serious about building muscle and increasing strength--this is a must. Twelve Rep MythMost muscle building programs include this myth about the number of repetitions for fast muscle gain. However it has become a staple supplement for many bodybuilders who use creatine for building muscle, as it has been shown to help bodybuilders in a number of ways.During that time, I've discovered a lot of muscle building facts and fitness observations. It"s just one of the simple basics of building muscle. These exercises build muscle and building muscle is considered to be an essential part of controlling

Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein...ever heard that before? I'm sure you have, everyone has, but the fact of the matter is, its true.If you want to gain weight and build muscle you absolutely must have large quantities of Amino Acids in your system. Try growing muscle without them.One way to ensure that the amino acids you take are being used efficiently as quickly as possible is to load the body with aminos immediately before and immediately after the last set in your workout. This can be done by doing your workout as normal then preparing for one additional set to failure.Lets us barbell curls as an example. Train the arm as normal and then after the last set, do one more set to failure. The arms will be so engorged with blood that the large quantities of amino acids in your system will be attracted to the stimulated area.This method works extremely well, but you literally have to hit that last set like your life depended on it. Also I would not recommend that you use t

We have covered a range of exercises to target various parts of the body. It is now time to construct a workout routine with which you can begin to achieve your personal goals.In this section we will address building muscle and increasing strength by performing a generic 6 day split routine. A word to the wise, if your muscles aren't screaming with effort half time time, your not making any worthwhile gains. Put maximum effort in to achieve the best results. Perform this routine in the morning.In this routine, perform 8-10 repetitions of each exercise if your goal is to increase muscle mass. Perform 4-6 repetitions of each exercise if your goal is to increase strength. Perform 10-15 repetitions if your goal is to get lean and toned. In each case, use a weight heavy enough so that the last repetition you do is an effort. Perform the exercises in the order they are listed, rest for 60 seconds between sets and 2 minutes between exercises.Monday (Arms and Abs)- Pressups (30)- Unde

Popular misconception among many weight lifters and other athletes is that creatine prevents fat loss if used regularly. You can read opinions that for building muscle, creatine is a great supplement but if you want to get lean, creatine supplementation is something you don't want around you.
