Hi Bloggers!
From www.MuscleEnhancers.com we bring you another article on all the new findings on high tech and all natural fitness and muscle enhancements. Today we share a brief article on the importance of proper sleep and rest during your workout days and "off" days as well.
Never underestimate your bodies need for rest. There are studies which show that the overall body as a system becomes worn down and sluggish after prolonged periods of hard training – despite days off – and taking even as much as an entire month clean off from bodybuilding a year can help to ‘reset’ your system and produce great gains when you restart.
Some people are naturally active, and believe just because they feel OK to work out, that they should. They feel like they are almost cheating or slacking if they arent hitting the weights day in and day out. Resting is part and parcel of bodybuilding. Even the pro’s – who are as advanced as it gets, and use steroids like there is no tomorrow – who work out like machines need rest. If they didn’t get adequate rest for their bodies, they wouldn’t grow. It’s about training smart.
Try at the least to get 6-8 undisturbed hours of sleep each night. As far as resting between workouts use our basic rule of thumb: "For every workout day incorporate a rest day in between. Do not workout more than two days in a row regardless of what muscle group you are working. During rest days avoid any strenuous physical activities. If you workout two days consecutively then take the next two off and visa versa for one day of workouts.".

Whey Is Way Better! March Bodybuilding Newsletter
Hi Bloggers!
From all of us muscle heads at http://www.muscleenhancers.com/ we wish you a happy Thursday! For the first 2 weeks of March we have to say our "Whey Blast" has almost sold out and for that we thank all our faithful customers! If you wish to nourish your body and get ripped at the same time without dangerous steroids please come visit us any time either at our retail store in Daytona Beach, Florida or online at MuscleEnhancers.com or SharpWebLabs.com.
So why is Whey a better protein? Whey protein is a high quality protein powder from cow's milk. Milk has two proteins: Casein (approximately 80%) and Whey Protein (approximately 20%). Whey protein is more soluble than casein and also has a higher quality rating. It is often referred to as the "Gold Standard" of protein as it is the most nutritious protein available.
Why is Whey Isolate a better choice than concentrate? Yes, there may be a large difference between the two. Whey protein isolate is the most pure and concentrated form of whey protein available. It contains 90% or more protein and very little (if any) fat and lactose. Whey protein concentrate has anywhere between 29% and 89% protein depending upon the product. As the protein level in whey protein concentrate decreases the amounts of fat and/or lactose usually increase.
Whey protein is a high quality, complete protein, with all the essential amino acids. Whey protein is also the richest known source of naturally occurring branched chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine). These are important for active individuals, individuals who exercise and professional athletes. The body requires higher amounts of branched chain amino acids during and following exercise as they are taken up directly by the skeletal muscles versus first being metabolized through the liver, like other amino acids. Low BCAA levels contribute to fatigue and they should be replaced in one-hour or less following exercise or participation in a competitive event. Many athletes consume a BiPro beverage both before and immediately after exercise or an event to help repair and rebuild lean muscle tissue.

Secrets To Fast Muscle
Hello Bloggers!
This is your friend "Dean Dean" from www.MuscleEnhancers.com. With the fast success of our all natural pure tribulus bodybuilding supplement Show-Tech we have become somewhat of an icon from bodybuilders around the globe. The single most asked question by our customers and friends is "What Is The Biggest Secret To Fast Muscle Growth Without Using Illegal And Harmful Steroids?".
Well as many would believe there is a holy grail out there with a magic pill that gives you 20 pounds of muscle mass in two hours we can confidently say "No there isn't". With all the hype and millions of dollars spent each year in the fitness industry we do firmly believe that the four biggest secrets "if you will" to fast and safe muscle is:
1) Nutrition
2) Supplementing
3) Workout
4) Recovery And Rest
Being professionals in the bodybuilding nutrition field one must look at the above and stamp those four essentials into their mind if they are serious about hardcore muscle gains. Lets take a look at some helpful tips our bodybuilding experts have put together for the serious bodybuilder. Please consult your doctor or fitness trainer before beginning any exercise or nutrition program.
NUTRITION:
If you want the whole process to work then consider this the single most important step in your muscle quest. Nutrition is fuel and fuel builds muscle. If we have no fuel our body shuts down and cellular regeneration slows. I will not spend too much time on what to eat as this could take days but remember to keep your diet rich in proteins.
Remember this: Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds; some lean meats, fish, eggs, low-fat dairy products; and mono and polyunsaturated oils. Limit intake of saturated fat, cholesterol, salt, alcohol and an excess of added sugars and sugary foods. Drink plenty of water. Maintain a normal weight. Exercise regularly.
To build extra muscle you need to eat in excess of what you currently eat and to work out with weights on a regular basis. How much muscle you can gain, how quickly and with what definition is largely determined by your genetics and age. But everyone at almost any age should be able to gain some muscle and strength with weight training. Proper nutrition is a crucial element in the muscle building process.
That overeating is not a good idea if you are already overweight is surely something you already know. Get fit first.
SUPPLEMENTING:
There are literally thousands of supplements on the market today. You could go crazy trying to get what is best for you. From our professional experience dealing with many professional bodybuilders over the last few years if you are going to use supplements then optimally one would benefit from a pre and post workout plan. If you want an all natural approach to muscle mass gains then read about our Show-Tech supplement which is used pre-workout. This with a good creatine and then followed up with a post workout glutamine supplement is a great base to start your training. Many people to this day still follow that basic program and it works! If you have any questions please drop by at www.MuscleEnhancers.com and send us an email!
WORKOUT:
An effective bodybuilding workout combines a number of elements in order to achieve maximum physical fitness. A successful workout should include adequate cardiovascular work – such as running, walking, or aerobics – to increase the heart rate and improve cardiovascular health; committed core work – such as Pilates or yoga – that improves flexibility, strengthens abdominal and core muscles, and keeps muscles limber; and, most important to bodybuilding, weight training that utilizes a combination of weights to build and sculpt muscle.
In addition to safety, commitment is just as important to a bodybuilding workout. While a three-day-a-week workout may be adequate for those who are not bodybuilding but still trying to adopt a healthy lifestyle, this schedule will not be enough to successfully meet bodybuilding goals. Those who are serious about bodybuilding often spend many hours a day in the gym; a bodybuilding workout is a serious commitment that requires quite a bit of sacrifice. Most bodybuilders will adopt a very particular schedule when it comes to their workout routine – scheduling cardiovascular and core work and planning weight training to work certain muscle groups on one day and other muscle groups on others. Bodybuilding is not for everyone. But for those who are enthusiastic about participating in this sport as either a hobby or in order to compete, they will tell that a committed and comprehensive bodybuilding workout is imperative to your success.
RECOVERY:
Recovery for your muscle is imperative between your routines! Our muscles need time to recover from the workout they have just endured. What most people don't know is that our muscle growth takes place during sleep, not during workout. After rest, muscles are stronger than they were previously, and this allows for more growth through workout. By not allowing proper rest, growth can be stunted, loss of muscle may occur, and muscles can be easily damaged. Allowing recovery time, gives our body a chance to adapt to the stress of exercise. The recovery also allows our body to repair damaged tissue and replace fluid loss. Without time to repair and replenish, our bodies will breakdown. For muscles to recover naturally, it can take about 7 days. This is one of the reasons we should only train each muscle group once a week. You want to avoid training on consecutive days, even if you are training different muscle groups. The rest and recovery of muscles is something that shouldn't be overlooked.Resting between workout sets is also important for indirect growth. You want to allow about 2 minutes to recover, but not to cool off. You want the muscles to stay warm. By allowing 2 minutes between each set, it helps with mass, power, and strength. After an intense workout, you want to slowly cool the muscles down, and prepare them for rest. This is also known as Active Recovery. A low intensity workout is a great way to cool the muscles. Another way is stretching followed by a medium paced walk. Cooling muscles after a workout has been known to help speed up the recovery. You still need to rest. Allowing a couple days to rest the muscles will help with endurance during the next workout. Not allowing time to rest can result in injury.
