How Our Muscles Grow

Happy Thurday All!

As we strive to make the most of our physique and fill our body with vital nutrients and such as to make our biceps burst through our shirts did you ever wonder how our muscles actually grow? At http://www.muscleenhancers.com/ and http://www.sharpweblabs.com/ we were just asked this question via email and wish to share the info. with our blogger buddies if anyone is intrested.

Did you know our body has over 600 individual muscles? Yep! Skeletal muscle is made up of thousands of cylindrical muscle fibers often running all the way from origin to insertion. The fibers are bound together by connective tissue through which run blood vessels and nerves. Each muscle fibers contains: an array of myofibrils that are stacked lengthwise and run the entire length of the fiber; mitochondria; an extensive smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER); many nuclei.

Your muscles grow when they recover after heavy stress that you put on them in the gym. Your body 'thinks' that you were running for your life from a lion and nearly escaped, and it builds some extra muscle to make sure that you outrun that lion next time he finds you! The same story in other words: when you stress your muscle to the limit, it develops micro-injury. When it repairs the damage, having enough time and material, it 'overdoes' a little, to prevent you from having that 'micro-injury' in the future.

To put it short, if you want your muscle grow, you should give it as much stress as possible in the gym, then you should provide it with everything it needs to recover and grow, which is time and food.

Do not stress the same muscle every day - it will not have enough time to recover and grow. If you work out regularly the last 6 months or more, you should pump really heavy weights, as heavy as you can take. And your muscles will need more time to recover, more than they needed when you started working out. Recovery time depends on your metabolism rate. Most people need 48 hours of "leisure time" for a heavily exercised muscle.

"Show-Tech" helps to keep all hormones and metabolic pathways balanced so your body will concentrate on the areas of worked muscle and in turn deliver rapid muscle growth results. "Show-Tech" is the result of many many clinical studies and has been perfected for the serious bodybuilder and showman!

Big Bicep Secrets!

You have big biceps, big triceps but when you flex nothing seems to move much.
These tips work amazing while using Show-Tech available at http://www.muscleenhancers.com/ or http://www.sharpweblabs.com/! Many have this problem too, 18″ arms and no bicep peak, then I discovered the main secret and I would get comments all the time about how big my arms look either up or down. Just walking around casually people would notice and mention my arms.
You too can get these big bicep peaks on your arms and it does not take much, just a little knowledge and a little sweat and you too will be the proud owner of mountainous arms.
There are two things you need to attain big bicep peaks…

First you need your body fat levels to be low enough for people to see your biceps. I would suggest an upper limit of 12% body fat, any more is unnecessary bulk that will hinder growth and health, it will also hide your muscle. So you may want to clean up your diet and loose some of that bulk. Secondly and more importantly to get bicep peaks you need to train the outer bicep head. That’s it, the big secret. I have told and stressed this so many times to fellow bodybuilders who are striving to add inches to their arms and they ignore me. They claim I have superior genetics or put some other excuse to work so that they don’t have to…. lazy bastards.
When you flex your biceps the outer head is the muscle that sits on top of the arm, the bulk of your bicep is down the side, if you have a big outer bicep head then it makes your arms look higher - it is the cause of the bicep peak.


So what you need to do now and for the next three months is to start your bicep workout focusing on the outer heads, I will go into this in a future article but for now if you do the following it will be a good basic start - and the basics work best:



BIG BICEP PEAK / OUTER HEAD EXERCISES
Close Grip Barbell curls (can use E-Z bar)
Hammer curls with dumbbell or cable with rope grip
Concentration curls focusing on the top of the movement
That will get you on track for big bicep peaks, check again in 3 months time and see what a difference you have made - I am sure you will be surprised.

Thanks To "Biceps" For This Article!

Simple Guide - Glutamine Blast

Hello Bloggers! It is a beautiful Saturday here in sunny Florida. As I was driving back from the gym I got a phone call from a fellow bodybuilder about using Glutamine Blast. Most of the guys and gals from the local gym use the Sharp Labs "Blast" line bodybuilding supplements available at http://www.sharpweblabs.com/ or http://www.muscleenhancers.com/. Try a simple search in google for "Glutamine Blast" and you will find it on sale often too! They are made with natural, not synthetic, raw materials and perform superior compared to other supp's.
So the question for many is, "How do I incorporate my Glutamine info my workout routine to maximize progress?".
Well this take a look at the basic structure and function of Glutamine first. What is Glutamine? Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid that it is produced by the body under normal conditions through proper nutrition. Glutamine functions as a vital building block of proteins which are found in high concentrations in our muscle tissue. However, if the body experiences stress or trauma during periods of intense exercise, malnutrition, injury, illness or disease, the demand for Glutamine increases. If the body cannot produce sufficient quantities of this Amino Acid in response to stress or trauma, this deficiency could lead to a compromised immune system and a longer recovery period. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and can be considered “conditionally essential” when extreme conditions cause an increase in the body’s demand for this important protein facilitator. Glutamine is considered a non-essential amino acid. Under certain circumstances the body's tissues need more glutamine than the overall amount supplied by diet especially during hard exercise. During catabolic stress, for instance, intracellular glutamine levels can drop more than 50 percent, and plasma concentration falls 30 percent. It is under these circumstances that supplemental glutamine becomes necessary.
Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid that is synthesized and absorbed by various organs of the body including the stomach, intestines, and muscles. Strenuous prolonged exercise, such as a marathon or intense weight training decreases the body's glutamine levels. This in turn affects various bodily functions, including immune system function. Since glutamine acts as an energy source for the cells of the immune system, its suppression that occurs after exercise is believed to contribute to infections athletes often develop during periods of intense training. Recent research has shown that supplementing with glutamine can help decrease the likelihood of suffering from illness due to infection.
So why do I use Glutamine Blast? Within a week of glutamine supplementation your muscles become visably larger since you have an increase in the amount of water driven into the muscle cells similar to the effects that creatine give. This effect is known as "cell volumization." Some of the good side effects of glutamine is that it helps the immune system by producing more white blood cells.
So when do I take Glutamine Blast? To take glutamine you should injest it with some sort of high glycemic meal after your workouts. To achieve the best effects, you should take 16 grams of glutamine with your post workout carb meal or drink. For an even greater effect, you can take another 16 grams 90 minutes after the first dose. There is no need to cycle glutamine either. It's benefits like creatine will remain as long as you continue to use the supplement. No significant side effects have been reported in glutamine studies.
I highly recommend glutamine supplementation. It gives very quick results similar to creatine and is very cost effective as well. You must mix it in something other than water though because it isn't water soluble at all and tastes bad like that anyway. Remember use your CreaBlast pure micron creatine pre-workout and your Glutamine Blast post-workout.

Thanks for reading!
Pump it up!

Natural Muscle Will Keep You Alive

With so many illegal steroids available online and on the street it is no wonder that so many bodybuilders become ill in their 20's, 30's, 40's, and beyond from complications due to the eerie side effects from steroid use during one's life. Bottom line is steroids kill and will continue to kill as long as they are taken. There is no such thing as a safe steroid. There is however a safer way to build muscle in todays world. For instance Sharp Labs Inc. based in Florida is one company who offers a fine line of premium all natural bodybuilding and fitness supplements. The "Blast Line" which can be found at http://www.muscleenhancers.com/ and http://www.sharpweblabs.com/ is formulated steroid free and guarantees muscle growth as well as customer satisfaction. So still thinking about the easy way out huh? Lets take a brief look at the damage steroids do.
There is increasing concern regarding possible serious health problems that are associated with the abuse of steroids, including both short-term and long-term side effects. The short-term adverse physical effects of anabolic steroid abuse are fairly well known. Short-term side effects may include sexual and reproductive disorders, fluid retention, and severe acne. The short-term side effects in men are reversible with discontinuation of steroid use.
Masculinizing effects seen in women, such as deepening of the voice, body and facial hair growth, enlarged clitoris, and baldness are not reversible. The long-term adverse physical effects of anabolic steroid abuse in men and in women, other than masculinizing effects, have not been studied, and as such, are not known. However, it is speculated that possible long-term effects may include adverse cardiovascular effects such as heart damage and stroke.

Steroids played a role in the deaths of several pro wrestlers since 1997, according to medical examiners, family members and the wrestlers themselves, including:
• Curt Hennig, 44, died of acute cocaine intoxication in February 2003, medical records show. But his father said last year that a lethal combination of steroids and painkillers contributed to his death.
•"The British Bulldog," Davey Boy Smith, 39,died in 2002 in Canada of an enlarged heart with evidence of microscopic scar tissue, possibly from steroid abuse, a coroner said. "Davey paid the price with steroid cocktails and human-growth hormones," says Bruce Hart, a veteran trainer who worked with Smith and was his brother-in-law.
•Louie "Spicolli" Mucciolo, 27, died from coronary disease in his San Pedro, Calif., home in 1998, according to his autopsy. Investigators found an empty vial of the male hormone testosterone, pain pills and an anxiety-reducing drug. The Los Angeles County coroner's office determined the drugs might have contributed to his heart condition.
•Richard "Ravishing Rick Rude" Rood, 40, died from an overdose of "mixed medications" in Alpharetta, Ga., in 1999, his autopsy shows. In 1994 he testified that he had used anabolic steroids to build muscle mass and relieve joint pain.
•"Flyin' "Brian Pillman, 35, was taking painkillers and human-growth hormones when he died from heart disease in 1997, his widow said several years ago. Investigators found empty bottles of painkillers near his body in a Minnesota hotel room.

In closing we challenge anyone to try Show-Tech, HgH Blast, DHEA Blast, or Ripped Drops for 30-60 days with your current weight lifting program. After several weeks you wil see muscle growth that you thought was unattainable unless illegal steroids were used. Sharp Labs Inc. backs all their bodybuilding supplements with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Take the Show-Tech challenge today and your body will thank you!

Pyramid Lifting Secrets - Bulk And Cut Easy!

Happy Sunday from all of us here at www.MuscleEnhancers.com and www.SharpWebLabs.com your headquarters for powerful and all natural alternatives for non-steroidal bodybuilding supplements. We have been showing men and women how to build huge muscle fast and easy without the use of steroids for some time now. Whether or not you incorporate any of our "Blast" supplements into your routine we are delighted to have you on our blog!

Many of our customers have asked "What is the best way to pyramid with your supplements?". Well as we have stated above all of our high tech bodybuilding formulas were formulated to provide powerful yet natural support to your body as well as help keep all your fitness metabolic pathways in check during your workout routines. Pyramid sets are a great way to train your body to reap the benefits of nutrients and exercise all at once. As your body works harder it uses more oxygen which in turn raises your metabolism. Nourish your body properly during your pyramid workouts and reap the results! On sale this month is our best selling "HgH Blast", "Show-Tech", "DHEA Blast", and "CreaBlast" hardcore steroid free muscle enhancers.

There are two basic types of pyramid lifting. They are called forward and reverse. The forward pyramid technique calls for the max weight being lifted at the end of your set and the reverse pyramid technique has you lifting your max weight to start the set. Some people also use a median pyramid where the max weight is lifted in the middle of the set. We find that alternating daily from forward, middle, and reverse seems to produce the best results in the shortest amount of time. Remember warm ups are very important for building muscle and strength.Learn to warm up correctly and start lifting more weight today. Never wear yourself out when warming up! Use a pyramid chart to help you warm up correctly.

The idea or pyramiding is so your muscles keep using more weight. The more weight you use the stronger you become, the stronger you become the more weight you can use. The pyramid principle is based on ONE REP MAX (the amount of weight you can perform the exercise with properly one time). Than you use the chart below to figure out how much weight to use for each set. Each week you need to increase the amount of weight you use based on your ONE REP MAX for that exercise. After 6 weeks its time to recalculate your ORM It is VERY IMPORTANT that you use a spotter, And make sure you are warmed up properly before trying to perform your ORM

EXAMPLE OF A PYRAMID SCHEDULE:

WEEK#1
55% of Max - Set 1
60% of Max - Set 2
60% of Max - Set 3
65% of Max - Set 4
70% of Max - Set 5

Sleep Your Way To Huge Muscle!

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.".

Sincerely,

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.
