We live in an age where women have been liberalized they are allowed to do anything they set their mind on. Bodybuilding is one of the activities that women are involved in and I must say they are doing exceptionally well. In the 80's who would've thought that there would one day be professional boxing and wrestling for women? While it is a good thing for women to be athletic, there are a few challenges that our bodies might face if were not careful with our delicate beautiful bodies. F.A.T is an acronym for Female Athlete Triad. F.A.T is a disease that affects women athletes and the name triad is representative of the three symptoms of F.A.T. The first symptom is an eating disorder. Bulimia is one...

How would you like to learn a simple trick that will help you pack on a solid pound of muscular bodyweight each and every week without spending any more time in the gym and without forcing feeding yourself by trying to choke down more food at each meal? Well in this article I'm going to show you exactly how to do just that by overcoming one of the most catabolic times of the day for you, and turning it into your advantage. Do you know when the most catabolic time of day is? It's when you go to sleep because you literally starve your muscles for eight hours! Just think about it, you would never go eight hours during the day without eating a meal. But that is exactly what you do each and every night...

Some Thoughts On Calorie Restriction (CR) Calorie Restriction (CR) is getting a great deal of media attention due to studies that find animals raised on restricted calories live longer and suffer from fewer diseases. That advice may seem counter to the "bodybuilding/fitness lifestyle" we all follow. Sure, we all know excess calories-minus any exercise to counter those additional calories-represent a negative for general health and longevity, but should people be severely limiting their calories? As many of you know, studies have suggested that lower calorie intake translates into longer life spans in animals and-perhaps-people. However, this conclusion is controversial and far from conclusive in my...

In my previous article, I talked about training each body part twice per week. Well let me say this is only half the recipe. You can come to the gym and work your body parts but if you lack intensity, you might as well go home. The gym floor should be a place of strictly business. Let me explain. Normally when I go to the gym today, I will see guys working out but also laughing, talking and standing around. Honestly, they will take 5 minutes between sets. I often wonder if this workout or a Social Event. Let me tell you what is not happening during this kind of workout: * There is no focus to psyche up to the next set. They'd rather talk about the weekend then get motivated to do their best...

Human growth hormone (HGH) is present in all of us. It is the basic reason why children grow taller, develop muscles and finally reach puberty. However, biologically the growth hormone levels in humans reduce considerably after reaching puberty. This is the reason why people don't grow taller after a certain age. It is not only about growing taller, but even muscle mass and other internal organs of the body cease to grow any more. HGH and bodybuilding share a love-hate relationship. If used proportionately and under supervision, then HGH injections at a later stage in life can enhance muscle mass in humans. However, this is a sort of substance abuse. Hence, it has its share of side effects as well...

However, once you become sober, you have to start learning some of the secret behind the figure competition. Following are the three secrets of figure competition.

Following a figure competition diet is one of the most difficult things a woman will ever do. Losing enough body fat so that your muscles show definition can be extremely difficult and frustrating. This is one of the reasons competitors resort to diet practices that can be either ineffective and/or dangerous. Over the years I've seen girls end up in the emergency room from dehydration, potassium deficiencies, low blood pressure etc. The proper way to diet for a figure competition is following a 'well balanced' diet (the diet itself is not very healthy but you want as much variety as possible) consistently over a period of 8 - 14 weeks (most competitors need 12 weeks). If you are not ready at the...

Any person, who has even remotely been interested in bodybuilding, has definitely wondered how some of these men can get so huge. Although large majorities of the pro's we watch on our televisions are using performance enhancing drugs, there still are some basic principles that if followed, will result in tremendous muscle mass gains. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not claiming that you will be able to jump up on stage and compete with the pros but you will need to follow these guidelines if you intend on making any substantial gains. The first and most important rule to follow is to consume lots of healthy food. The fact of the matter is the more food you eat or the more calories you consume the...

Symmetry is how the body parts fit together to form your structure and how your upper and lower body are balanced, as well as your left and right side. Flex Wheeler and Lenda Murray have to have some of the best symmetry I have ever witnessed in the sport of bodybuilding. They both possess cannon ball deltoids, wide lats, extremely small waists, large quads with flaring sweeps, well-developed calves, and full muscle bellies. Every body part is in balance with the other. Symmetry is genetic, but there is a lot you can do with what you are given. If you want great symmetry like the pros, then you have to start thinking like a pro and not train harder per se, but train smarter. Obviously, wide...

The main enemy of a body builder is injury and it should be avoided by all means. Injuries not only lead to discomfort but they can also stop a body builder from practicing and impair his or her ability to carry out certain exercises. Once one has been injured, it becomes so easy for him to get injured again in the same way. The tips to follow may seem very easy and simple though several people tend to forget them and that is when the trouble occurs. It is advisable for one to put on appropriate workout clothing that can offer him or her chance to move all parts of the body in a full range of motion. It is always recommended that you ask a question or assistance when in doubt. If one is not well...

Women's bodybuilding is an intense sport that requires dedication and planning. The diet is fundamentally the most important part of this plan. Proper planning will lead to long-term success. To start, get a piece of paper out and write out the meals you'll eat tomorrow. Include the exact time you'll eat it too. This will take away any form of emotion when it comes to eating.

Doing on weight training implies that you need to take in the right food. So they buy food items that have labels like non-fat or zero fat. But people doing muscle bodybuilding should be aware of some deceptive food labels. Health conscious shoppers are sometimes baffled by medical claims of some company like nutrition labels and ingredients lists that sometimes they would end up buying all the wrong food! A study conducted by the American Journal of Preventive Medicine showed that only 32% of the 200 respondents could correctly calculate the amount of carbohydrates in a 20 ounce bottle of soda with multiple servings. Many people are also confused by the nutrition label's complexity or incorrectly...

If you've ever set foot in the weight lifting room or put yourself on a bodybuilding program, you already know that the next day, you may have a small amount of difficulty getting out of bed.

Bodybuilding refers to the process of weight training, cardiovascular exercise and food nutrition to shape up your physique by increasing the lean muscle mass and reducing fat stores. If you are consistent, and determined, it is by far the fastest way to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. Goal Setting Before you start your bodybuilding endeavor, set for a realistic goal. "Realistic" in the sense of achievable results within a time frame. For instance, it is impossible to lose 40 lbs within 8 weeks, especially when you are first starting out. Begin with 1 to 2lbs on average per week and you will be able to lose 15 - 20 lbs in 8 weeks. As for muscle gain, it may take a longer time to see an...

Those who usually go to gym or do heavy exercises often feel fatigued if they push themselves too hard. People going to gym often feel exhausted while doing exercise and instead of feel refreshed, they end up feeling weak and worn out. This normally happens when the body lacks the amount of energy required to do the hard labor. An ordinary diet might be good for the body in normal circumstances but for those working out in gyms, it is unable to provide the sufficient calories. This lack of calories can be made up by drinking special types of milk called muscle milk. These types of milk are different from the normal milk from a cow or buffalo as they have been specially prepared so as to have higher...

It would be safe to say that most competitors who gain a lot of weight and let themselves go during their off season have a shorter bodybuilding career than others. Why is this? Who won the race the Tortoise or the Hare? Why? All or nothing, fat in the off-season- lean in the on-season behaviors never finishes the race. Becoming a champion is like training for a marathon for twelve months. There is no taking off a month of running expecting to be right were you left off, neither is there a off-season to gain too much weight or for some not even train. I never understood that. Sure some weight gain is necessary an unavoidable, but to let yourself go in quest of size and strength, give me a break. One...

White bread is perhaps the most usually consumed carbohydrate source in America today. Nearly any sandwich ordered from a drive-through marker board contains white bread, as do the side offerings at any fancy restaurant. Americans love their white bread, and consume lots of it without thinking twice. Iron pumpers, on the other hand, have a responsibility to examine common, everyday foods to ascertain if these carbohydrate sources have any place, or a limited place, in the bodybuilding menu. There are two schools of thought when it comes to white bread as a food for bodybuilding purposes. The first opinion is that white bread is superb for iron pumping goals. It digests quickly, which delivers fast...
