This is a good exercise to hit all three heads of the triceps with a good peak contraction and finish off your tricep workout with an incredible skin stretching muscle pump.

Brace yourself against a flat exercise bench. Grab a dumbbell in one hand. Place your other hand on the bench to support yourself. With each rep really make sure to lockout your arm and flex your tricep hard at the top.

Keep your upper arm along the side of your torso during the entire exercise. Moving just your forearm lift the dumbbell in an arc motion until your arm is straight. Hold this position for a second to maximize the peak contraction in the triceps. Slowly return the dumbbell to the starting position.

Since your triceps are pumped and warmed up at this stage you can just jump to your working weight and do 3 sets of 10-12 reps for each arm. You’ll only need to rest for 1 minute (or less) in between each set because while you are training one arm the other will be getting a rest.

“Stretch Overload Training, The Most Neglected Training Technique That Can Increase Your Muscle Fiber Growth

Of all aspects of bodybuilding training, stretching is the one part that is most often ignored and misunderstood by the majority gym junkies. It is just one of those things that seems to get pushed off to the side as not that important.
Stretch Overload Training, also known as, “Extreme Stretching”, or “Stretching With Weights” is something totally different that will enhance muscle growth from hyperplasia (i.e. muscle-fiber splitting).
Stretch Overload Training will expand the connective tissue and fascia, which surrounds the muscles, and there by enable the muscles to grow bigger and stronger.
The typical static stretches that most people do just won’t cut it. To increase muscle fiber growth from this technique you have to have kick things up a notch and incorporate Progressive Overload into to your stretching.
Just like you need to have progressive overload built in your strength training workouts or else you’ll plateau very quickly.
The connective tissues that surround the muscles is very tuff and hugs the muscle fibers tight. This can actually constrict expansion and growth. For maximum muscle hypertrophy to occur the surrounding fascia needs to be stretched and become more pliable in order to give the muscle fibers room enough to expand grow bigger.
Certain exercises stretch out the muscles more then others. In the case of arm training, 2 of the best “stretching exercises” are 90 Degree Angle Dumbbell Preacher Curls for the biceps, and Overhead Dumbbell Tricep Extensions for the triceps.

With these movements you can work your arms through a full range of motion and even get a slight “stretch rebound” out of the bottom position without risking injury. This will help to not only fully stretch and activate more muscle fibers, but it will help to release anabolic hormones inside the muscle tissue.”

To Cheat Or Not To Cheat

Posted: December 5, 2011 in Build Muscle

Arnold Schwarzenegger doing the Ultimate Cheating Curls!

How Strict Should Your Exercise Form Be? When it comes to weight training there are generally two schools of thought when it comes to exercise form. First you have the typical personal trainer “fitness experts” who say you should perform all lifts with light to moderate weights and use very slow and controlled movements. Then you have the power and strength athletes who like to use more explosive movements, looser training form, and lift heavier weights.

Which one is right and which one should you use in your training?

Well like a lot of things when it comes to working out there is no true Right or Wrong answer to this question. It all depends on the individual, the training situation, the level of training, and the fitness goals.

Obviously for beginners and people who are new to the gym, they need to learn how to perform the exercises with proper form using light weights. At this stage they just need to take baby steps, get used to the whole process of working out, and learn how it feels to exercise their muscles with weight training.

However, as you get stronger and start lifting heavier weights in your workouts with the progressive overload principle. You’ll find that your technique will have to change as well. For example, the technique needed to bench press 100 pounds is totally different than the technique needed to bench press 300 pounds. As you get stronger different muscles come into play, you need to pay a lot more attention to body positioning, your set up, how you actually contract the muscles to lift, etc… And this all requires a higher level of mental focus.

Now I realize what I’m saying here is going to piss some people off. There are those die hard “fitness experts” out there who insist that slow and controlled is the only way and that if you use any speed or momentum in your lifting that you are cheating and that you are going to hurt yourself. But the fact is our bodies are designed for fast and explosive movements.

Hot Tub Time Machine – Hot Tub Fountain of Youth

You can make a simple change to your existing hot tub and create a real-life fountain of youth in your backyard. With just 30 minutes of spa hydrotherapy daily you can reduce your stress and relieve muscle aches and pains that seem to accumulate with age and workouts.

Chlorinated Water:
Normally hot tubs use chlorine or bromide to disinfect the water. Chlorine is a very toxic chemical. Yet, it has been used in water systems to combat disease for over 100 years – when it was first added to public water to fight cholera and typhoid.

But the same harshness and toxicity that killed the pathogens and bacteria, also strips the skin of its protective layer, causing it to be extremely dry and itchy, leading to cracking, premature aging, wrinkles and eczema – and inhibiting the skin’s vital function of protecting the body from absorption of environmental toxins, like chlorine.

Additionally, the heat and steam from the shower opens the pores, allowing even greater absorption through the damaged skin. Chlorine also combines with water and steam to form chloroform – which can cause respiratory conditions.

Benefits of Hydrotherapy:
Hot tub hydrotherapy everyday will, in a very real way, help you to revitalize your life and will allow you to regain much of what made you young when you really were young.

Hot water increases blood supply to tired or sore muscles, making pain go away faster. As you soak in a soothing hot tub, healing speed is increased and cells regenerate.

Hydrotherapy is defined as the external use of water in the medical treatment of certain diseases and ailments. Hydrotherapy has also been described as “the oldest form of medical treatment. It involves the use of water for soothing pains and treating diseases.” No matter how you define it, hydrotherapy, with its inherent health and wellness benefits, has stood the test of time and is here to stay.

How to make a Non-Chlorinated “Fountain of Youth” Hot Tub:

You can disinfect your hot tubs water with out any chemicals. What you do is have an ozone generator installed in your hot tub! Most of today’s hot tubs are ozone-ready, so adding or replacing one is relatively easy. Ozone generators come on every 6 hours to sanitize your water by adding a extra oxygen atom to the water. Oxidation kills microbes.

There is one precaution you need to consider. Oxidation of your skin, so make sure it not in the oxidation mode, my spa will show a big “O” when its creating ozone. As a added precaution my pool person said when you are finished for the day add a teaspoon of chemicals to help sanitize it. By the time you are ready to use it the chemicals have dissipated.

Now you can bathe in hot pure water and feel your muscles relax, and feel your skin revitalized.

I Stumbled Upon the Holy Grail, how to reverse baldness and gray hair. A Natural, Scientifically Proven Way To Stop Hair Loss And grow Lost Hair.

Find a inexpensive treatment To Look Better, Feel Better, and it has no side effects. Stop wasting your money on expensive medications and over-the-counter products.

The Cure for baldness goes all the way back to Trojan War, the Trojan King Agamemnon used Sulfur hot springs to help his wounded soldiers. Mozart and Beethoven frequented a sulfur spring near Vienna.

Sulfur smell in hot springs, is from the elemental mineral form of sulfur is found in rocks near hot springs and volcanoes.

For thousands of years, hot springs have attracted people to their healing waters; natural organic sulfur has healing properties, it helps with arthritis, muscle aches, skin problems, high blood pressure and baldness.

Sulfur taken in by the body enables the transport of oxygen across cell membranes, and oxygen is necessary for healthy cellular regeneration.

We can’t all go to a hot springs, what is a natural for of sulfur? Sulfur is in natural foods. Sulfur is found Garlic and onions. Garlic has been a natural cure for baldness for centuries. Healing of garlic goes back 4300 years, used by the ancients for fevers, inflammation, strained muscles, it was considered the most important foods for healing the body. Louis Pasture discovered that galic killed harmful bacteria.

People rub garlic on their scalp, to stimulate hair growth with success.
But who wants to smell like garlic? What an alternative to garlic?

MSM (methyl-sufonyl-methane), is a special biological sulfur found in all plants, soils, fruits, vegetables, fish, poultry, eggs, meats and milk. It is organic sulfur, a naturally occurring compound in the human body. In the purified form that we sell, it is an odorless white crystal with a slightly bitter taste.

MSM provides the essential sulfur necessary for a number of body compounds. Sulfur is an indispensable component in human nutrition. It’s found in every cell in the body, and is structurally and functionally important to 150 compounds, including hormones, enzymes, antibodies and antioxidants. Sulfur itself is held mainly in the muscles, skin, bones, nails and hair.

I am going to take MSM for one month and document the changes to my muscles, skin, bones, nails and hair. I am going to take one-half teaspoon of MSM crystals morning and night. MSM is a great pain killer also. Areas that I feel muscle strain i will apply MSM lotion.

MSM is an extraordinary dietary supplement that is amazing researchers and users alike because of its remarkable benefits for a huge range of health problems including: arthritis, allergies, gastrointestinal problems, PMS, acne, lung problems, muscle pain, parasites, cancer, heartburn, constipation…and the list goes on.

I was thinking what about a hair tonic for hair loss. Then I remembered I have been using a MSM shampoo.

I think I can improve my skin, my hair and my internal organs with the sulfur cure.

How are they made?

The herb is chopped or ground and put in fluid like alcohol. It is generally left for a period time to steep in the medium and release it’s natural components. No mechanical or chemical possessing. You can make your own or buy extracts in a health food store.
Basically the alcohol sucks the nutrients from the leaves and it is preserved in the alcohol. Herbal extracts are best kept in dark bottles or in dark places where they are protected from sunlight. Herbal extracts should be stored in glass bottles, not plastic or metal and should be tightly sealed to prevent exposure to air and contaminants.

 Note: Remember it not quantity is not important, the body remembers these the longer you take them, and gives you the same reaction with just a few drops.

Caution: Any herbal supplement should be treated just like a medication. It requires caution and should be taken only after consulting your doctor. A doctor can help you weigh the risks and potential benefits. That way, you can make an informed decision, do your own research.

Why Girls hormones are messed up & Boys think they’re are gay.

 If your drinking tap water now, caution you may spit on your screen!  There are female hormones in your tap water, especially if you live on the east coast of the US.

Your water may be contaminated. The government knows it and there is no sense in keep reminding the public, because there is nothing they can do about it. There is no filter to remove liquid contaminates.

Especially on the east coast of the USA, Environment Agency showed that a powerful form of oestrogen has entered the rivers through the urine from aged women, which down stream is pumped out of the rivers and undergound water and its used as drinking water.

In the 1980 onward older women have been massive dosages of female homeone oestrogen a drug to regulate sysmptons of menotphase.

The results of contaminated water, one girl noticed ‘The rest of my body is quite slim. Yet throughout my teens my boobs went up a couple of cup sizes every year.’

It even changes the sex of fish swimming in contaminated water, it was actually was responsible for changing the sex of male fish to female.

Also plastic water bottles contain sinthetic for of female hormones. Consumers should be more concerned with the initial quality of the drinking water inside a container than they should be about the composition of the container.

For instance, a xenoestrogen called Bisphenol A (or BPA) is widely used in the manufacture of tinned food, drinks cans, plastic bottles, glass jars, electronic equipment and till receipts.

Female hormones add fat, ‘Fat is laid down on breasts as much as thighs or bottoms. We are experiencing an obesity epidemic, so the increase in women’s measurements isn’t that surprising.’ With the female hormones in our foods, men have lower trestoterone levels.

Acording to US Today – “In the U.S., a vast array of pharmaceuticals — including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones — were found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, according to an Associated Press investigation earlier this year that found 24 major metropolitan areas affected. Researchers say the pharmaceutical residues can harm fish, frogs and other aquatic life and may be harmful to people.

In Europe, tests of sewage from several hospitals in Paris and Oslo, Norway, have also uncovered hormones, antibiotics, painkillers and heart and skin medicines.”

How do the drugs get into the water?
People take pills. Their bodies absorb some of the medication, but the rest of it passes through and is flushed down the toilet. The wastewater is treated before it is discharged into reservoirs, rivers or lakes. Then, some of the water is cleansed again at drinking water treatment plants and piped to consumers. But most treatments do not remove all drug residue.

And while researchers do not yet understand the exact risks from decades of persistent exposure to random combinations of low levels of pharmaceuticals, recent studies — which have gone virtually unnoticed by the general public — have found alarming effects on human cells and wildlife.

A sex hormone was detected in San Francisco’s drinking water.

The drinking water for Washington, D.C., and surrounding areas tested positive for six pharmaceuticals.

Three medications, including an antibiotic, were found in drinking water supplied to Tucson.
