Wrestlemania 23 2007-04-03 03:10:00 Well, Wrestlemania 23 is over. It was quite interesting with some gods and bads but on the whole it was a great show. The Battle of the Billionaires was the best one and Jeff Hardy's leg drop on Edge was too dangerous in my view. I wrote a bigger review on one of my other blogs.To read it click here

, including clips at Mr. Olympia
. This is quite interesting especially to see the differences between the two goldike bodies of these two champions.
Skin Care tips 2007-03-30 19:29:00 I just went online researching some skin care tips and I realized that there are some simple ways to keep your skin healthy that anyone can do. Why not have a smooth and beautiful skin? It can definitely help us out and makes us feel better, not to mention the fact that good looking skin is necessary for every professional bodybuilder out there. Let us see what are the most important and in the mean time the easiest to actually respect. First of all we must know that exercising regularly also helps our skin look better. This is because fat cells are damaging and skin is actually damaged by lack of exercise. Another important one is quitting smoking. Smoking really destroys our skin. Then, alcohol also has a detrimental effect and should be avoided at all costs. I am talking about excessive beverage consumption and not the casual glass of red wine (which can be beneficial for the entire body). The last tip I would like to emphasize on stands on sun radiation. We usually wear protective Read more:Skin Care
Lovely Model Ahmo Hight 2007-03-27 16:40:00 Ahmo Hight is a very beautiful fitness model with a great body and an actress. As a child she moved from town to town until she finally chose her career. She was born in Newport Beach, California and is now 38 years old. Her small acting career started in 1997 when she appeared in "Pacific Blue", followed next year by a role in "Erotic Confessions". Ahmo Hight also starred in 4 more movies: Club Wild Side 2, Hotel Exotica, Secret Pleasures and Insatiable Wives. As you can see for yourself she is quite an adept of fitness and has one great body. This is why I decided to post a little information about her here as I am sure most of you never even heard of her. I also found three picture galleries in case you are interested in seeing more of her:Gallery 1Gallery 2Gallery 3 Read more:Lovely

individuals, maybe newspaper writers asked Arnoldquestions
and he answered. Among the answered questions you can find:How helpful is Hollywood stardom in getting things done politically?Have you met Hillary Clinton? And is America ready for a female president?Why does California still carry out the death penalty and could you not try to reform this barbaric act?If the constitution allowed it, would you run for President of the United States?What would you do about Iraq if you were President?And many more.

Jay Cutler is Mr. Olympia 2006-10-20 01:48:00 I'm sure you allo know by now but it is important to mention again: Ronnie Coleman's Mr Olympia
throne was taken by Jay Cutler
. After dominating the bodybuilding industry for 8 years in a row Ronnie had to settle for second best. Jay Cutler is Mr Olympia. As you could of expected it was a pretty close competition and nobody could have predicted it or not. Last year showed us an impressive Jay Cutler but he wasn't number 1 material then. He now is (or is Ronnie dropping?) A lot of questions have risen and people are already speculating on the outcome of Mr Olympia 2007. It will be whole year until that. Meanwhile Jay Cutler will enjoy his reign. The official standings of Mr Olympia 2006 are:1. Jay Cutler2. Ronnie Coleman3. Victor Martinez4. Dexter Jackson5. Melvin Anthony6. Gustavo Badell7. Toney Freeman8. Markus Ruhl9. Dennis James10. Günter Schlierkamp11. Vince Taylor12. Branch Warren13. Johnnie O. Jackson14. Dareem Charles15. Troy AlvesI should mention the other winners as well:-
The European Parliament Helps Out 2006-10-20 01:03:00 I am sure all of you saw a lot of commercials for "incredible" products that are labeled with something like "Eat and loose weight". These statements are put there to mislead instead of help out. We all know how important it is to eat properly and most of us should know (if you don't already) that there is not one single product out there that will make you lose help without exercise. It's very simple: you eat you put on weight! If you eat healthy and exercise you can lose weight. The good news is that the EuropeanParliament
is set to talk about and discuss the situation. It is said that soon there will be a change in reglementations that will not allow companies to write fictious statements on their products. I'm sure all people that now how to live healthy will salute this!
Ronnie Coleman is in danger 2006-10-13 22:39:00 Ronnie Coleman
is in danger but not of loosing his Mr. Olympia rain. He is in danger of loosing the number one spot in a unofficial Best Biceps ranking. The one that is about to beat him is young Daryl Gee. Just as Ronnie Coleman he has massive and cut biceps from one edge to the other. The only real difference is that Daryl's are bigger and that is very important in bodybuilding as we all know. I think Daryl will go a long way with the help of these biceps. All around he looks pretty good but he still has a lot of work before challenging the top bodybuilders in the game. Gee is already getting noticed and specialists are taking a closer look at him every day. Read more:Ronnie
Rachel McLish is 48 years old 2006-10-13 22:29:00 The lovely Rachel
McLish has just got to the age of 48. If this scares most women today for her it's nothing as she still looks as well as 26 years ago. That's when she won Miss Olympia, in the first year if its existance. As you can see from the picture the standards of female bodybuilding were definitely different. This is the main cause, at least from my point of view why this side of bodybuilding is constantly dropping in fans. It is a shame that women forget that they are women and it is an even bigger shame that influent people in this sport encourage this attitude. Most men today say that they really like a woman with a hot body but there is simply too much muscle on today's bodybuilding models. It's one thing to look at Trish Stratus for instance and another one to look at a woman that looks exactly as a man from the back. Leaving that aside, Happy Birthday Rachel and may your life be as beautiful as it was until now.

The problem is using this time efficiently in order to take care of everything.

Fat Loss Article 2006-08-10 14:32:00 Fat provides energy for aerobic energy metabolism, such as sitting, walking and jogging. The higher your resting metabolism is (through exercise) more fat will be wasting away while sitting and/or sleeping! Fat is your third and last source of energy or fuel at 3,500 calories per pound unless using anabolic steroids. Fat yields 9 calories per gram. Fat is responsible for many body functions. One, it assists in membrane cell structure and function. Two, it transports and mobilizes fat-soluble vitamins in the body. Three, it is involved in cellular signals and regulates the uptake and excretion of nutrients in the cells. And four, it is necessary for hormonal production in the body. EAT A HEALTHY AMOUNT OF FAT FOR MUSCLE GAINS! Like carbohydrates, fat contributes to making you feel satisfied or full after a meal. It also contributes to muscle gains and helps prevent muscle loss while following a low fat diet. When I lived in Japan and was training consistently, I put myself on a circuit Read more:Article

SOme thoughts about smoking 2006-06-16 15:05:00 Did you know that smoking first appeared around 300 years ago but only became popular after World War II? Also, did you know that every year 1 million people die because of smoking? The last 50 years showed us that cigarette smoke contains numerous substances that hurt the human body but we still keep smoking! The all talked about nicotine is a very destructive substance. Just 5 mg can kill a dog by paralizing his nerves and around 50-60 mg can do the same to any human being. Besides this substance you must know that others are even more destructive. By burning, the cigarette releases much more dangerous vapors in the air and indirectly in our lungs. There are many far worse substances in a cigarette we must deal with! Read more:thoughts
What body parts are usually pierced? 2006-06-16 14:47:00 I just came across an interesting poll about piercings.

This is pretty much how I thought about it with the next parts also having some support:belly button 76 10% tongue 70 9% genitals 44 6% nipple 43 6% nose 36 5% Read more:usually

Easy Weight Loss for Dog Lovers By: Michael Bens 2006-03-13 19:36:00 Once in a while we will also add some articles taken from article submision websites. We hope this will improve your experience with our blog. Here is the first one:Easy Weight
Loss for Dog Lovers
By: Michael
BensIf you need to lose weight, more than likely you are thinking in terms of diet and exercise plans, not pets. There are, however, several reasons why getting a dog may be the best thing you ever do, in terms of weight loss. Having a dog can lead to several small but significant lifestyle changes that all add up, over time!For one thing, a dog requires a minimum of one hour a day of walking – and that’s every day, not just sunny days, and not just when you feel like it. Of course, you can just take the dog into the yard and throw the ball for it, but why not take advantage of your canine companion and go for real walks every day? It’s better for you, and better for the dog. Over time, it gets to be very enjoyable.Some people feel that just the act of getting a new puppy is
Weight Lifting helps women to counter Middle Age Spread 2006-03-05 19:07:00 A recent study has been conducted at The University of Pennsylvania's Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics. It concluded that women that lift weights two times per week have a lower chance to get the Middle Age Spread
that most women are afraid of. Kathryn H. Schmitz, one of the people responsabile with the study declared:"This study shows that strength training can prevent increases in body fat percentage and attenuate increases in the fat depot most closely associated with heart disease. While an annual weight gain of one to two pounds doesn't sound like much, over 10 to 20 years the gain is significant." Read more:Weight

Obese Men are most likely to die after car crash 2006-03-05 12:51:00 I just found out about an interesting study. It was conducted in Milwakee, USA and it showed that if the person that was involved in a car crash
is obese there are more chances that he/she will not make it. A well known fact has been proven some time ago: obesity decreses the body's ability to recover after any kind of injury. Here is what the specialists said:"Obesity imparts anatomical and physiological changes that may either protect or interfere with the body's response to injury. However, it would be a very costly process to have a car modelled on the person's shape to make it as safe as possible - that's really a bespoke car and would take a lot of money and effort to produce. It would be preferable to try to stop people having car accidents in the first place. People who are obese probably have an adverse risk profile and as such are less able to withstand adverse effects on the body and serious injury." Read more:likely
Optimists get fewer Heart Attacks 2006-03-02 06:45:00 A recent Dutch research study has proven the fact that Optimists have a lot fewer chances of suffering from strokes or heart attacks than Pessimists. The reason thought is that Optimists tend to exercise more and have a bigger power of adaption to the stress of day to day life together with a straight forward going attitude. Researchers declared:"It's likely that optimism affects cardiovascular health in a number of ways, both directly and indirectly. One possibility is that optimists are better at coping with adversity, and may, for example take better care of themselves when they do fall ill. This study suggests that being positive and optimistic as we get older may have some effect on our wellbeing and reduce the risk of heart and circulatory disease. Previous research on lack of social support, depression, and having lack of control in life showed that people may be more at risk of developing coronary heart disease. This new study adds weight to the argument that if we feel optimi Read more:Heart

Great Body Frank Shamrock 2007-04-13 23:09:00 Frank Shamrock
is quite an interesting fellow. For those that do not know he is involved in mixed martial arts and ultimate fighting competitions and has seen quite a lot of fights in his career. You could say he is a tough dude but he is also very generous and treat to be around. Many people will think that he is Ken Shamrock, "the world's most dangerous man". Well they are two different people and Ken is actually Frank's step brother as he was an orphan. His dad was Bob Shamrock and Ken Shamrock was the first one to go into mixed martial arts. Frank soon followed. His real name is Frank Alisio Juarez III and he was the first fighter in the middleweight class to hold the title and actually retired as the five time undefeated champion.

Great Body - 50 Cent 2007-04-13 11:38:00 I am definitely not a 50 Cent fan but I have to admit and we all have to recognize the fact that he has a great body. Because of this I thought about letting you know some facts about 50 cent that you might not have known.

The Importance of Sleep 2007-04-15 17:43:00 Few people adequately understand the importance of sleep. A bodybuilder or an athlete in general must know that sleep is quite crucial in his workout. The most important two reasons why this is a fact are that the body will synthesise protein better when resting and the human mind will recharge for the following training session. Growth hormone and testosterone are also manufactured faster when the body is sleeping. The only real problem is that a bodybuilder really needs to sleep more than 8 hours each day and this means that during this time he will not be eating. An immediate effect of this is a decay in muscle because of the natural need our bodies have to consume in order to regain maximum power. Before going to bed every lifter, bodybuilder or fitness practitioner needs to eat high protein meals right before going to sleep. Read more:Sleep
One Gram of Protein per pound 2007-04-15 17:27:00 Today's athletes and mostly bodybuilders are aware of the importance of protein in their raily diets. This is a very good thing to notice as I can see many individuals that start going to the gym who are interested in nutrition facts. One of the real problems that appear is closely linked to protein as few people realize the correct amount a body really needs. Some will continue to state that 70-80 grams of protein per day is enough. It has been proven to be wrong. A bodybuilder will put more stress on his muscles than a regular athlete and this causes an immediate need for extra nutrients. Eating food that is rich in protein like eggs, milk, red meat and chicken is the second most important thing in bodybuilding training after the workout itself. A good starting point for every begginer and some more experienced bodybuilders is to apply a simple formula of 1 gram of protein for 1 pound of bodyweight (although there is a need for even more with pros taking even double the amount in th
