The Top Muscle Gain Book Rating

abman — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 09:52:30 +0000

Bodybuilding and fitness is literally a multi-billion dollar industry with new websites popping up every single day. More and more people are getting interested in getting a bit thinner and slimmer, and build those involuntary muscles! So when another e-book starts building buzz in the industry I am not all that surprised, but I do take note and watch to see how fast the fizzle fades away.

People have started looking for reviews of The Truth About Building Muscle, aka Muscle Gain Truth, as it is making to the headlines everywhere. So here we go to get a peak at what is behind the hype and get to know the pros and cons of Muscle Gain Truth.

The Numbers

Muscle Gain Truth is a pioneering product which also includes several bonus products. This product was written by Sean Nalewanyj who by this time is well known over Internet for his bodybuilding training and his muscle gain truth’s website. Sean Nalewanyj is a natural body builder who has become famous due to this valuable resource. The format of this resource is a 249 page downloadable PDF file e-book.

Style And Substance

Sean’s e-book explains the HIT approach to muscle gain. This approach utilizes infrequent work outs, low training volume and a high intensity exercise. Consequently the requirements for the book’s training program is just 24 minutes each day, which means that people don’t need to spare long hours to follow.

Body building aspirants all over the word have rated this e-book or as an excellent and organized e-book in other words as a masterpiece. The author has developed a well-written and easy-to-read resource. I can honestly say that rather than stuffing a plain PDF file with endless text, Sean really took the time to create a visually appealing product, complete with pictures and diagrams, which he uses to further explain his principles. So this e-book doesn’t seem to be a dry one. It ensures that the people are updated with the latest research too.

Sean doesn’t make big promises and he doesn’t go into deep boring research or the more common rhetoric, but what he does do nicely is just give you the facts, the proven fundamentals and puts them into an easy-to-read, self-help kind of guide.

The Bonuses and Gains

No online e-book would be complete without the bonuses, right? So true to form the flagship e-book also comes with a 26 week step-by-step workout guide, several customized diet plans, a video database with over one hundred super-effective weight lifting exercises, and really a lot more that I simply didn’t have time to explore.

One interesting bonus item that I found particularly interesting was the free membership to the “School of Muscle” – a private social network now being called the “Muscle Myspace”. I like the social site idea of people who are all using the same muscle building approach, as I believe that hanging around with “like minded” individuals always helps in achieving goals.

How To Eat To Build Muscle At Fast Food Joints

abman — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 20:53:05 +0000

Keeping down two jobs, meetings to attend, kids to pick up from school and such like there are so many distractions, time constraints and pressures that if we are not vigilant can only lead to one thing… {not sufficient time to plan and arrange your meals}. As regards muscle building nutrition then this is the ultimate crime. The main reason is because it leads to eating fast food.

Fast food is exactly what you don’t want to eat to build muscle up. Too much fat content that contains very little fat content mixed with very little in the way of quality energy. So, if it is not possible to avoid fast food restaurants then what can we eat for decent muscle building nutrition?

Here are a few golden rules for eating at fast food restaurants in order to build muscle up:

Avoid the apparently good value for money drink and fries. Just a single medium portion of fries can fill you up with around 20 grams of fat and for the drink we are talking about around 200 calories mainly from sugar!

Always select the grilled option. You can save about 80 calories that come mostly from fat by consuming a McDonald’s grilled chicken sandwich rather than a premium crispy chicken. A simple choice but often overlooked.

Skip the dessert if at all possible. At any fast food restaurnat you are going to be bombarded with so many chices of sugary desserts and if you really must have a sugary item then keep it down to a kiddies portion size.

Make sure you limit you use of the sauces. Many of these have very little muscle building nutrition that are high in fat content. I’m sure you know the little packages of sauce that I am talking about, tartar sauce, may and such like. Do yourself a service and give it a miss.

If a fast food joint really is the only option then what can I eat?

If you want to build muscle food that you could eat at McDonalds would be:

For the bulk of your dinner/lunch a Premium Grilled Chicken Sandwich will yield you with 420 calories, 10 grams of fat, 51grams of carbohydrates and 32 grams of protein. A Grilled Honey Mustard Snack Wrap would give you around 260 calories, 9g fat, 27g carbs and 18g of protein. The Asian Salad Grilled Chicken would give you 390 calories, 12.5g fat, 38g carbs, 33g protein with the low fat Sesame Ginger Dressing. Probably the best option is the Caesar Salad Grilled Chicken that provides 220 calories, 6g fat, 12g carbs and 30g of protein.

If your in the land down under (Australia) the choices might look like this:
A Lean Beef Burger: 250 calories, 8g fat, 25g carbs, 18g protein or a Herb Fusion Chicken Salad: 100 calories, 2g fat, 3g carbs 20g protein.

Excellent breakfast selections would include an Egg McMuffin which gives your body 300 calories, 12 grams of fat, 30g carbs and 18 grams of protein. Possibly a Sausage Burrito including 300 calories, 16g fat, 26g carbs, 12grams of protein or If you are looking for just a snack then how about the Fruit ‘n Yogurt Parfait which beaks down into 160 calories, 2g fat, 31g carbs, 4g protein.

I hope that gives you some idea of exactly how you can eat relatively healthily even at a fast food joint if you make the correct choices. Of course it would be better to allocate some time for planning decent meals throughout the week but if you can’t do this then the above selections should be a good guide and on some level help you burn the fat feed the muscle.

7 Muscle Building Errors To Avoid

abman — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 09:22:08 +0000

We hear loads of advice and guidance on what to do to build up muscle but much of it is conflicting. For that reason we are going to clear up a few things right now about what not to do to build up muscles. Here we go, 7 things not to do when trying to build muscle up:

1) Train for more than 45 minutes. training longer than this can actually inhibit muscle gains because at this point a hormone is produced that limits the muscle building process, train for less than 45 minutes and the hormones level is about correct for building muscle.

2) Consume lots of all foods. Often you hear that you should just eat as much as everything as you can. Well of course we need extra calories to add muscle mass but do you really believe that stuffing yourself full of E numbers, fatty red meats, fast food, simple carbs (sugars) and so on is going to be healthy for you long term. Of course not, stick to sensible nutritious foods and you will put on lean muscle mass and save your body from long term health problems too.

3) Do not do lots of isolation exercises. That refers to exercises such as tricep presses that place focus on one individual muscle alone. Your time and energy could be put to use a lot better. Exercise using multi joint exercises such as squats, pull ups,presses and so on. These exercises trigger muscle growth in a few muscles at a time.

4) Neglecting aerobic fitness. I’m sure you have heard that you should avoid aerobic stuff as it uses up valuable calories that could be used for burning muscle. yes this is true but come on there is a sensible balance here. Sure get big but do you want to be huge and not be able to walk up a few flights of stairs without panting. In order to preserve long term health then do aerobic exercise 2-3 times a week and simply make up for this by eating more.

5) Switch exercises a lot. You may know that variety keeps the muscles growing, that is true but at the same time not allowing your muscle to establish an exercise groovecan also stop you from making the progress you otherwise could do. Use an exercise for two or thress months before you drop it.

6) Over train. A major cause of limited muscle building progress is over training. The majority of people will make good gains from just two workouts a week.

7) Give up. Too may people give in when there muscle growth diminishes. This is the exact time when you should be rising to the challenge and training with more intensity, paying attention to muscle building nutrition and showing determination.
