Bodybuilders and their Future (Part 1) It is a common fact that Bodybuilders are not immortal and have to die at some stage, but this Bodybuilder was barely 30 years old. Although he was relatively unknown on the world scene as a bodybuilder, he was a U.S state heavyweight champion and one of the best at national level. Bodybuilders and their Future (Part 3) On 22nd May 2003, a Bodybuilder died. Scott Klein was found lying dead on his bed at 5.00am by his mother. He died of cardio-vascular disease and kidney failure. His death may have had absolutely nothing to do with bodybuilding, but 30 year old men do not die suddenly with kidney failure unless there is some known genetic weakness and, as far as I am aware, that was not the case here. In the same week that I heard about Scott Klein I read detailed reports of the illness of Tom Prince - another g Bodybuilding - The "Fastest Gains" Report Bodybuilding workouts - It is so important to train the biggest muscle areas in order to provide a highly anabolic environment within the body is important for the biggest muscles of the body (especially those that are used in the squat, deadlift, and even leg-pressing on the whole, For example the muscles of the thigh, hip and lower back region) are trained and stimulated to grow.

You need an excess of calories in your diet in order to grow new tissues. If you see that you are not putting weight on, then quite simply eat more proteins, carbs and even fats. Bodybuilding and your Training Errors (Part 2) It is a proven fact that our post training body has the ability to synthesis more protein. It is also a fact that our muscle tissue after training is a lot more sensitive to insulin and that the simple carbs tend to stock themselves up with glycogen rather than replenishing our body fat levels.

It wasn't until the late 50s that we begin to hear about drug use in sport and by the early 60s Dianabol was being taken by bodybuilders. This coincided with the big drug companies seeing their opportunity of making big money through the development of their own steroid drugs most of which are still in use today. Things didn't quite turn out as expected though as the initial drug use reports appeared and many companies abandoned their products. Although many good drugs were actually patented, they were never fully developed. Bodybuilding Legends - Bodybuilders and their Future (Part 1) As we well know, Bodybuilders are just mere mortals and will die at some time just like the rest of us, but this Bodybuilder was only 30 years old. He wasn't of the most famous in the world, not even in the world of bodybuilding. He was though an American heavyweight and had won several state titles and he was a top ten player at National level.

Squats, Heavy Squats And Squatters (Part 1) If someone down the gym tells you that their favourite exercise is squats, well they would be either genetically gifted, they may be a masochist or just a bullshiter. While squatting is as a natural position as resting or having a pee, it is in fact as unnatural as my x wife's tits when having a heavy weight crushing into your neck and straightening up from a curved spine position. Although it is an unnatural movement it doesn't mean it isn't a quality exercise, but the normal reaction would be that you get it over and done with asap. Squats, Heavy Squats And Squatters (Part 2) A great proven way to gain weight and having been so since the times of Mark Berry, Roger Eells and others are breathing squats and pullover combo.

Squats, Squatters And More Squatting (Part 1) If someone tells you that they actually enjoy doing squats then they are either genetically gifted, a masochist or a dam right liar. Although the act of squatting is as natural to us as would be resting or having a dump, the actual movement of squatting low and then rising with an arched spine; while lifting a heavy weight which is crushing into our neck, is about as natural as most tits seen in Hollywood. This doesn't mean it is not an efficient exercise, but it certainly is an exercise you wan Starting out Juicing (Part 1) Should you be a bodybuilding novice or a teenager then you MUST read this article which will help you make a decision this will no doubtedly change the rest of your life.

Steroid Use - When to start juicing (Part 3) By when I got to 21, I was 6 foot 1' but if I had started juicing before I probably wouldn't have. Now I felt ready both mentally and physically. I had learned to train the hard way without drugs and this gave me the determination to succeed. You just need to push yourself to the limit over a period of time and diet is crucial...I worked myself up to 7 daily meals. Steroids and Blood (Part 2) A weight trainer is not always too concerned about glucose, but what he doesn't realize is that medicine has an adverse affect on blood sugar levels.

Steroids And Drug Testing (Part 2) Immuno Assay (IA) This test involves certain antibodies that will attach themselves to specific drugs or it detects illegal substances through the metabolites they produce through their contact with the body.

Start off with fun type exercises without putting them through any ordeal, and never make them train against their will. Try out free standing excercises, flexibility work and teamwork skills through sporting activities. Testing For Anabolic Steroids (Part 1) Drug testing in modern day sporting events is quite common practise nowadays. We are normally lead to believe that a very small percentage of competitors use performance enhancing drugs, but the truth is that is very common place amongst modern day competitors. There really isn't anything wrong in wanting to have a competitive edge over your main rivals, and that would normally amount to some form of anabolic steroids backed up by a plan to beat the test.

This test is only as good as the antibodies chosen, as antibodies vary in their specificity of binding; that is, they may also bind to other substances present in the sample that are not illegal by recognizing a similarity in another 'like' molecule, and yet, as a result, indicate that an illegal substance would be used.
