Truth About Abs Review

by firmbodies.com on Jun.30, 2009, under Build Muscle, Health and Fitness

Have you been struggling with excess weight? Do you want to get those lean abs? There is an effective way to losing all those unwanted fat in the midsection part of your body. It is the training program called The Truth About Six Pack Abs.

This intense work out was made by fitness expert, Mike Geary. This program is different from all the other exercises out there primarily because of one thing: it tells the truth about everything. You may be shocked with the few things that the book tells you especially when it discredits the exercise myths which have been circulating for a long time now.

But Mike Geary goes to the basics of getting fit by telling people that the only way to have a flat stomach is for you to lose overall body fat. This seems really easy to understand considering the fact that none of us have ever seen an obese guy with abs. So, even if this program is all targeted on the stomach, you still lose overall body fat in the process of having abs.

Another great thing about The Truth About Six Pack Abs is that it not only focuses on the physical exercises but also concentrates on the having the right diet and good nutrition. Eating nothing at all is just as bad as eating everything. In order for you to get those washboard abs, you need to eat a diet that consists of more proteins.

The second great thing with The Truth About Six Pack Abs is that it busts the entire sit ups myth to having fabulous abs. Just when you thought that the only way to get a flat tummy is to do those neck wrenching crunches, Mike Geary finally sets the record straight.

The routines included in the book range for only 8 to 12 minutes. Compare that to all the time you’ve spent running on the thread mill in your gym or doing all those crunches at home. You might want to consult your physician first before you take on this exercise because there can be some really intense routines. But overall, no other program will let you burn off those fat faster and easier. Read more now.

Natural Bodybuilding Workout

by firmbodies.com on Jun.30, 2009, under Build Muscle, Health and Fitness

when you first go and see a personal trainer or a fitness instructor, they will more than likely ask you one question before you start on your journey. 'What are your goals?’. This will be an extremely important question that you answer, as everybodies answer is likely to be different in terms of personal goals. The more common reasons for wanting to work out are a combination of the following, lowering your body fat, increased strength, injury rehabilitation, muscle mass gain and sometimes developing high levels of definition and striation.

The way to get the most potential out of a bodybuilding workout is to tell your personal trainer as vividly as you can what it is you are looking for and what you expect to gain from your work out sessions together. You will have to be specific in what it is you want, not general remarks as these will not provide enough information for the personal trainer. Always be very clear when you are setting your goals.

To someone who does not know any better, a natural bodybuilding workout can look like it is random. This is obviously not correct, and the level of inaccuracy in the calling the workout random practically reaches the stratosphere. A well planned specific body building workout is a series of logical workouts put together to get to certain goals within a set period of time, which you and your trainer will have talked through.

If you choose your exercises and training schedule at random, then maximum results will not be acheived. You will use the wrong machines for your set goals, and you could even end up with a serious injury. You will not look how you want to look, or feel the way in which you want to feel.

The number of body building workouts that there are, is practically limitless and sometimes a little experimentation may be required to find what is needed and what is best for what you are wanting. Speak to your trainer to find out what may be best for you, and work together to acheive great results all round.

Body building and Comptitions

by firmbodies.com on Jun.30, 2009, under Build Muscle, Health and Fitness

You have worked hard to become the professional body builder that you now are. All those hours training, eating right, taking various supplements and resting have finally lead you to the next stage… What exactly is the next stage though? Well it is time to start entering in the natural bodybuilding competitions. There are many various aspects of entering in a body building competition, so lets have a look at them to make sure that you are as ready for them as you think you are.

We need to firstly look at some of the different websites that hold information about various body building competitions, here a just a small selections of them:

http://www.usbf.net/
http://www.worldnaturalsports.com/
http://www.nanbf.org/
http://www.naturalbodybuilding.com/
http://www.nationalgym.com/nga/index.php
http://www.snbf.com/
http://www.inbf.net/
http://www.wnbf.net/
http://www.npcnewsonline.com/

Before throwing yourself into a competition, you need to doubly make sure you are actually eligible for entry, look at the requirements of the particular competition to find out whether you can join. There are usually entry deadlines and maybe even some fees to enter, so make sure you know all the ins and outs before making the jump.

When you have found a contest you want to enter, you will have to diet. This can be considered as the hardest part. You need to lose as much body fat as possible just before the contest, but you have to still maintain your muscle mass. You will need to keep a healthy and nutritious diet and perhaps use some of the various supplements available to body builders. You will lose about one pound of muscle for every three pounds of body fat that you end up losing.

If you do not already know how to pose, you will need to learn before the competition starts. The poses will effectively show your muscles that you have gained in the best way possible. Your physique does matter to how you look, but sometimes someone who knows how to pose right to show off their muscles wins, even when someone else actually had a better physique. So the key is to learn how to pose properly. The poses you will typically need to know are the Front Double Biceps Pose, the Side Chest, The Side Triceps, the Front Lat Spread, the Rear Double Biceps, The Abdominal Pose, and the Rear Lat Spread.

You will also need to have a tan, you will not win if your skin is untanned. There are products specifically desinged that you can use for this, that are specifically meant for competition tans, but you will probably need to spend some time in the tanning booth as well.

Lastly, you need to make sure that you have a membership for the organization holding the contest. It will more than likely be required. You will need some various music of your own to use when you are posing. You will need posing trunks (bring two or three pairs). Bring protein and potassium snacks and tanning lotion. You will need to use some posing oil as well. It can be useful to have someone with you who can help you apply everything you need.
