The chest has always been considered one of the sexiest parts of a man’s body – the reason why most men are always looking for ways on how to gain chest muscle fast and easy. For most of them, having a colossal or well-muscled chest will get them a lot of attention especially from girls.

Today, there are hundreds of programs that promise to help you build chest muscles. However, you must remember that there is no magic recipe that can give you a barrel chest in a short period of time. It requires time, patience, determination, and consistency from you. Along with these qualities, the secret to developing muscles in the chest is combining diet, supplements, training and exercises, as well as rest. Whether you are enrolling in a program or planning to do it on your own, always consider these equally-important elements.

Diet and Supplements. Nutrition plays a very important role in chest muscle development. Since muscle development involves a lot of physical activities, your body needs ample amount of energy which only comes from food. Include in your diet fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, protein-rich food and low-fat food. Adding some protein supplements in your diet program, such as whey and casein, is also advised, as well as nitric oxide supplement that increases the flow of water, oxygen and blood through the muscles and rejuvenates the nervous system. Meanwhile, constantly drinking water is highly recommended to ensure that your muscles stay hydrated.

Training and Exercises. Combining different workouts in one program is more effective compared to just doing one type of exercise. There are a lot of exercises that you can do to gain chest muscle. They are categorized into four main groups: upper chest exercises, which include incline dumbbell flyes, incline barbell bench press and military dumbbell press; lower chest exercises such as decline barbell bench presses, decline dumbbell flyes, and parallel bar dips; inner chest exercises like standing cable crossovers and flat bench dumbbell flyes; and outer chest exercises like flat bench dumbbell flyes and flat bench barbell presses.

Other exercises for chest muscle development include weight, cardio, strength and stretching exercises which aim to shape the pectoral muscles. Meanwhile, exercises such as running, cycling and swimming improve the metabolism of your body, which burns fats fast. You also don’t want to forget warm up exercises such as push-ups and pull-ups.

Rest. This is a very important aspect of every chest muscle development program. Overdoing the training and exercises is not helpful at all. Remember that weightlifting tears and causes serious damage to muscle fibers. It’s always best not to do workouts two days after your training, most especially if your muscles feel sore. Always give your body enough time to rest.

To gain chest muscle, you need to be determined and consistent on what you’re doing and you need to have the right program that guarantees you excellent results. Whether you are asking assistance from a fitness trainer or merely doing everything on your own, always consider the types of food to include in your diet, the right supplements to take, the type of training and exercises, and resting every after workout. Follow these helpful tips and you’ll soon find yourself with a muscled chest that is sure to get a lot of attention from girls.

If you are thinking about gaining muscle by lifting weights and want some female bodybuilding tips to lose weight this is the article for you. We will give you some helpful tips on how you should begin eating better to help your body burn fat more easily.

Yes it’s true. You CAN lose some weight quickly and easily simply by making the right food choices. Obviously this alone will not guarantee an overall reduction in weight loss. That said consuming the right type of foods is not only a good way to boost your metabolism and shed a few pounds but will also form a healthy and nutritious part of your diet. And in the next few minutes you’re about to discover 3 simple foods that’ll temporarily help you lose fat – the all-natural way.

Natural weight loss programs involve diets to help lose weight by creating a healthy alternative to synthetic diet means. Choosing a diet program that is all natural and effective can be difficult and many dieters want to give up before they begin. Weight gain has many factors playing a part in why we have become overweight. Do these remedies really work? We will analyze and answer some of these questions.

Generally speaking fast weight loss is not recommended as part of anyone’s regular diet. But if you wish to lose weight and stay healthy doing so then there are some sensible methods to lose weight quickly that will not compromise your health.

The best process in the world to lose weight is the natural process and almost all schools of thought conform to this ideology. But in spite of this generalization the rate of success is strangely low and there is no sign of development in the horizon. The reason is very simple. Even in this age of Internet where digital revolution is a reality the majority of people is yet without any viable information and that is the main cause of debacle. If you want to lose weight you have to get hold of the correct information immediately.

While looking for information on diets and fitness it seems that these two topics are considered as separate ones and indeed they often attract two different kinds of people. On one hand is low-activity or sedentary people concerned about their excessive weight and how to get rid of it on the other hand active people athletes or simply gym trainees mainly concerned on how to put on weight muscle mass that is at any cost and ending up putting on fat as well as a little muscle.

It would be easy to feature a garden-variety delt article that talked about well-rounded training and the use of specialized sets, such as giant sets or drop sets, and it would correctly represent what it is to train delts. Let’s face it, lots of things work for lots of people at one time or another. But the problem with most routines is they can only take you so far before they cease working and you have to move on to something else. Which is why it’s a misconception to generalize and say that any change is enough to shock the body into growth again. Truth is, not just any change will do. It must be the right change.

The other problem with most routines is the fact that 99% of them rarely address the actual mechanics at play within that muscle group (more on that later). So in either case, it’s not really right to judge a routine as good when it works for someone new to training. Any routine used at that point could stimulate growth; even the worst routine. The best judge of any routine is whether it’s the sort of routine you can stick with, at almost all times. Which isn’t to say that you don’t tweak it here or there or that you don’t configure your work and rest days differently, it’s just that the principles and exercises, and the manner in which you execute them, don’t change.

When anyone develops a personal philosophy, whether about training or something else, part of the character of that philosophy is that it means something special to the person developing it. That is to say, it works for them and makes sense to them in a way that is very individual. Its meaning is easily understood and applied, and because it likely encompasses many different aspects of importance to that person, it’s hard to want to change anything of a personally developed philosophy.

But when problems come up in our training that begin to challenge that self-developed philosophy, it’s time to broaden our minds and adopt a new mentality in the name of growth and progress.

The problem with most delt routines is that they either don’t include enough exercises, or what they do include doesn’t place enough emphasis on the parts of the shoulder that matter to overall size and shape. While many larger body parts grow quite amply as a result of work with compound movements, smaller body parts such as the shoulders really require a lot more specialization and attention to detail. It’s also really a game of intelligence with the delts—a cat and mouse chase that necessitates staying one step ahead of your body.

Let’s look at simple shoulder-capsule anatomy first because it’s important. Viewing anatomy for what it is, both in the human realm and in the personal realm of how we are structured as individuals, is logical, yet rarely considered. Puzzling indeed. This is what most people would refer to as “muscle geometry”… how we’re formed and how it is going to affect how we ought to train. Shape and arrangement are crucial for choosing to prioritize one kind of exercise or to prioritize a specific part of the joint cluster itself with a group of exercises that can target the area best.

Muscle shape also determines how functional the muscle will be under stress and in work conditions. It’s probably more complex an issue than looking at the differences between red and white fiber ratios because shape supersedes fiber concentration in spades. The shape and general architecture of the muscle determines the range of motion and the muscle’s ability to shorten and lengthen during work, affecting power and strength greatly. These configurations and measurements of angles within the muscle are called pennation angles; patterns that affect how much power the group can generate and tolerate.

The shoulders are dense and complex as muscle groups go, and contain very short muscles that are highly tolerant to work. They contain multiple, sliding pennation angles. Pennate angles within the shoulder are typically greater than in other muscles, no matter who the person is. But within this group, there are those with great angles and those with smaller than average ones. Muscle pennation is a complex topic and it isn’t the point of this article to delve into it. However, it does give us a birds-eye view into muscle architecture and how the whole enchilada works.

What’s the bottom line you may ask? Use the shoulders’ natural composition – natural muscle architecture – and pennation angles to build bigger, better delts.

One way to do this is to structure your shoulder routine to include isometric movements first to take greater advantage of pennation angles within the muscle to allow for greater increases in dynamic work. Using isometric tension, and the principles of muscle facilitation one can increase strength up to 20% within each workout.

Here’s how it works:

Let’s say you have constructed a workout that includes 2 exercises per area of the shoulder, plus one overall compound exercise, and have a total of 7 in the workout altogether. At the beginning of each section (front delt training, rear delt training or lateral delt training) use an isometric exercise to increase strength in that area prior to beginning training it.

For example: Let’s say that you begin your workout using shoulder presses with dumbbells on a 90-degree bench. Before starting a set using your heaviest weight, do a warm up set and then immediately take a weight that you could only press one time. Use a spotter and lift the weight to a point just prior to “lock out” with the elbows for half the time and lock out the other half. Hold it, in total, in isometric fashion, for approximately 8 seconds and then let it down slowly. Rest for 30-45 seconds and prepare to begin your actual heavy weight sets. Grab a weight that’s 20% heavier than normal and watch yourself lift it with the same ease as your normal max.

That’s the basis for this workout. Beginning with isometric work, moving into mass building, and finishing with shaping movements. The other part of this workout has to do with prioritizing neglected areas of the deltoid that can only give you the appearance of a more massive shoulder.

The most neglected area of the shoulder is the rear delt region. We personally don’t know anyone who works that area enough to actually affect a change in the overall appearance and impressiveness of the delt. And that’s a shame because it’s probably one of the most obvious areas to work to create a much larger appearance overall. Not only do the shoulders look more massive from the side when the rear delt is highly developed, a superbly developed set of rear delts only enhances the back to make it appear much more expansive and detailed. Remember, bodybuilding is about illusion, density and an overall look of completion.

Here are the goals of the workout:

1. To achieve greater strength during workouts by using isometric movements that precede the training of each area of the deltoid.

2. To specialize in the training of the rear delts

3. Using shaping movements and range of motion to take advantage of natural muscle architecture and the natural pennation of the shoulder joint

4. Working the muscle from multiple angles; even when to do so appears redundant

Let’s start with the list of 14 exercises and build a sample routine from there.

•TOTAL DELT – Smith Machine Press (Behind/ In front)

•TOTAL DELT – Seated Dumbbell Press

•TOTAL DELT – Arnold Presses (Begin with palms facing inward; into traditional press)

•REAR DELT - Seated DB Bent Over Lateral Raise

•REAR DELT - DB Lateral Raise on an Incline Bench (Chest down on incline bench)
•REAR DELT – Lateral Raise on a Flat Bench (Chest down on flat bench)

•REAR DELT – Face Pulls w/ Rope (Facing high cable pulley/ pull rope ends toward face)
•LATERAL DELT – Cable Laterals

•LATERAL DELT – Dumbbell Laterals

•LATERAL DELT - Lying One Armed Lateral Raises

•FRONT DELT - DB Front Raises

•FRONT DELT - EZ Curl Barbell Front Raises (show various angles)

•FRONT DELT - Cable Front Raises with Rope (Back facing low pulley/ cable between legs/ lift ends of rope)

•TRAPS – Upright Rows/ Shrugs (Smith Machine)

First off, using the list, choose at least two exercises from each category (except traps) for each workout. Try to vary exercises throughout the week to include all of them. These particular movements have been chosen because they address the various pennation angles within the shoulder. Most also require impeccable execution of form. Should you have questions as to the form needed to ensure correct application, consult photo representation either from this article or from various sources online.

When executing these exercises multiple angles should be utilized within each exercise itself, and also in how you have chosen and combined the exercises. For instance, you see represented a great deal of the same kind of rear delt work, but it is approached from 3 very different angles. This is part of the goal with work on pennation angles, in order to create a better developed deltoid.

We recommend using just one total delt exercise. This is quite contradictory to what most people suggest when they say that mass is only gotten through compound movements. That may be true when it comes to quad development, but it is not the case with shoulder work. In fact, most injuries to the shoulders are sustained either during a workout using too much weight in a poor or compromised angle during a compound movement, or during sleep. We can’t help you during the hours of your slumber, but we can recommend to skip the macho trip in the military press, and to always use the Smith machine. If you have had prior shoulder injuries, such as superspinatus tears or rotator cuff issues, to utilize a bar that begins just over the collar bone rather than taking it behind the neck.

Sample routine:

The only thing ordinary about this routine is the fact that we recommend training the shoulders 2x per week. More specifically, you must train the shoulders every 3-4 days in order to allow for ample rest and for hitting it hard when you actually work them.

The Workout:

(8-9 exercises per workout)

•TOTAL DELT – Smith Machine Press (Behind/ In front)

1 x 1 – Isometric set using 1 rep max weight

3 x 8 – Standard set using 15%-20% more weight than normal

•REAR DELT – Seated DB Bent Over Lateral Raise

1 x 1 – Isometric set using 1 rep max weight

3 x 8 - Standard set using 15%-20% more weight than normal

•REAR DELT – DB Lateral Raise on an Incline Bench (Chest down on incline bench)

3 x 8 – Standard set using 10% more weight than normal

•REAR DELT – Face Pulls w/ Rope (Facing high cable pulley/ pull rope ends toward face)

1 x 10 – Use 80% of max weight – pull at standard angle to hit center of RD

2 x 10 – Use 65% of max weight – raise hands higher in start position

•LATERAL DELT - Dumbbell Laterals

1 x 1 – Isometric set using 1 rep max weight

3 x 8 – Standard set using 20% more weight than normal

•LATERAL DELT – Cable Laterals

3 x 12 – Standard sets using your normal weight

•FRONT DELT – DB Front Raises

1 x 1 – Isometric set using 1 rep max weight

3 x 8 – Standard set using 20% more weight than normal

•FRONT DELT - EZ Curl Barbell Front Raises (show various angles)

2 x 8 – Standard set using normal weight, and pronated wrists and hands

2 x 8 – Standard set using normal weight, and supplicated wrists and hands

•TRAPS - Upright Rows/ Shrugs (Smith Machine)

1 x 1 – Isometric set using one rep max weight

3 x 8 – Standard set using 15% more weight than normal

Choose exercises from the prior list in this ratio, and always begin your training with one standard/compound movement and then move right into the rear delts. Unlike other workouts, this moves from back to front, rather than from front to back, or side to front to back. We suggest prioritizing the rear delts because they can give you the added density you need on a stage to look head and shoulders above the crowd (forgive the pun).

You’ll probably notice a few other things during this workout as well:

Because you’ll use various angles either within the exercise itself (such as rope pulls for rear delts), or within the scheme of working that entire area of the delt (as in choosing 3 different body angles for the rear delts: bent over, 45 degree incline, flat bench, etc., you’ll feel soreness you haven’t felt since being a gym newbie. What’s more, in a few months, or at your next competition, you’ll notice just how you’ve reaped the benefits of doing this. In fact, the more often you can practice this, without compromising the point of the movement, the better development you’ll get because it will be addressing different pennation angles, even with the slightest of changes.

You’ll also notice, quite pleasantly, that your strength will increase even as you move through the workout because of the utilization of isometric opening sets in each shoulder category. You will be amazed at how much more strength you have at your disposal, at least within the first sets of the first exercise for each area of the delt.

Bottom line, this is the kind of routine you can progress with over a continuum without having to replace it with the latest fad or workout gimmick. This routine offers no gimmicks—it’s a pure routine that allows you a great deal of flexibility and ingenuity. You won’t really appreciate the simplicity and beauty of that until you actually begin reaping the rewards and see that the rewards are limitless, based on how you work the routine. Once you do, we’re sure that you’ll be begging for something similar for every other body part.

Hey, we aim to please.

A figurative “big heart” connotes that someone is kind and generous.  But a literal “big heart” is not a good thing, especially to people in the medical profession.  People often mistake this as a disease, however, doctors say that this is an underlying problem to certain cardiovascular conditions.

Cardiomegaly
Cardiomegaly is a medical condition where the size of the heart becomes enlarged.  This abnormal enlargement exceeds the cardio-thoracic ratio of more than 0.50.  A person’s cardio-thoraric ratio determines which size a person’s heart is supposed to be, this makes the normal heart size difficult to exact as everybody has a different cardio-thoracic ratio.

For most people, an enlarged heart will not manifest any signs or symptoms from the condition, however, some people do manifest symptoms.  Symptoms depend on the severity of the case of the patient.  Most commonly, these symptoms are associated to the heart’s inability to pump enough blood properly, these include:
l    Breathing dificulties.
l    Dizziness.
l    Arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm)
l    Edema (swelling)
Heart enlargement is not an easy thing to diagnose.      Physicians usually suggest for patients to undergo a series of testing to determine if they do have cardiomegaly.  These battery of tests include:
l    X-rays.
l    Echocardiograms.
l    Electro Cardio Gram (ECG)

What causes heart enlargement?
As what was mentioned, heart enlargement is not a disease on its own, but rather an indication of an underlying condition.  Cardiomegaly may be caused by thickening of cardiac muscles, ventricular hypertrophy, and exercise.

Cardiomegaly is said to be a result of thickening of the heart muscles that occurs when the heart has an increase in its workload.  The increased workload is most often caused by other health conditions present in the body.  Some of the noted conditions that may cause of heart enlargement includes:
l    High blood pressure
l    Heart valve disorders
l    Viral infections
l    Severe anemia
l    Thyroid disorders
l    Hemochromatosis (excessive iron in the body)
l    Amyloidosis (abnormal protein build-up in an organ)
Exercise is also a contributory factor for heart enlargement.  Athletes have been said to have bigger hearts.  But this is a result of their extensive training, and is not in any way an indication of the presence of a medical condition.  In this one instance, cardiomegaly is not considered a bad thing.

Heart enlargement may also becaused by ventricular hypertrophy.  In this case, the left or the right ventricle, in some cases both, become enlarged.  This condition is more common for people who have chronic systolic heart failure or cardiomyopathies.  Cardiomyopathy is the loss of strength of cardiac muscles.

How is cardiomegaly treated?
Treatment depends on the severity of the cardiomegaly.  It is most often a medication or treatment procedure related to  the underlying condition.  Diuretics have been used to enhance serous fluid output in the body, to prevent heart swelling.  ACE inhibitors and Beta-blockers are used to treat underlying cardiovascular conditions that may have contributed to the enlargement of the heart.

As you are reading this, more research is being conducted to come up with a more effective treatment for cardiomegaly.  The aim of these research is to completely do away with cardiomegaly, as well as the conditions associated with it.  And hopefully, soon enough, a cure will be introduced to the market.

It is obvious that penis size is an internationally popular subject of debate.

How can I have a bigger penis? This is perhaps the most common question every man has asked. Every guy wants to have a bigger asset ‘down there’. It’s not hard to understand why after all it’s the symbol of their manhood.

Are you looking to enlarge your penis? Are you looking to actually make your penis bigger and not just waste money on garbage that doesn’t work? Read this article to learn what you need to know in order to (really) make your penis bigger save time and save your hard earned cash.

So you want to know how to get a bigger penis and in the quickest time possible. Well today I wish to introduce to an ancient penis male enlargement exercise that was originally used by the Kings and rulers of many of the Middle Eastern Countries. The exercise is known as the jelq or jelqing. You may well of heard of this before but if not don’t worry – all will be revealed. You also do not need to worry about being royalty or a King to perform this fantastic exercise!

Without the majority of hardgainers who are out there buying food supplements, supporting the supplement industry, the business would go bunkrupt. I saw many many hardgainers believe that buying dear supplements (together with their hard work at the gym and massive meal portions of course) will bring them massive gains. But the fact is, unfortunatelly for them, that the supplements, especially the hormone boosters, just don’t work that way. They are simply not created to function very well. Imagine what would happen if they did, all the hardgainers would go and buy a bucket of a hormone booster, if they get lucky their muscles would grow but they wouldn’n need to come back for more and the less lucky ones could even get into serious medical troubles and eventually end up sueing a supplement company. And that’s what they’re all trying to avoid.

…So…

…my question here is, why would you want to stuff your body with artificial hormones if you know they do not work and if you have quite a big potential in your own body hormones that are way more efficacious? Why not take advantage of those? We all have the powerful tools, our hormones, working for us and the good news is that if we learn to manage the way they operate in our bodies they can easily help us pack on some serious muscles. NATURALLY! Even us, HARDGAINERS with stubborn metabolism!

Let me introduce you a hormone that will help you gain real muscles. Actually, it is the most powerful anabolic hormone that we all have – insulin. If you’re a hardgainer, you should become best friends and you should make sure your insulin drive is in constant motion throughout the day. Here are three steps how you can do it:

1. Never forget to supplement with high glycemic carbohydrates during your workout! This is because, on one hand, your workout is an anabolic event stimulating your muscles and allowing them to regrow, repair and gain mass. On the other hand, it is a catabolic event breaking down your muscle tissue witout mercy and using it together with the stored amino acids as fuel. You’re actually burning your musles! To stop and avoid it, it is essential you take in plenty of quality carbs, like for example Kool-Aid drink, which combines three good sugars you need when you train – maltodextrin, dextrose and fructose.

2. To get even more muscles and better results, eat something with high glycemic carbohydrates together with a good quality protein 30 to 60 minutes after your workout. This is going to take advantage of all the hormones that are kicking in after your training and a meal like that will definitely maximize the insuline boost for massive muscle growth.

3. Now you know carbohydrates are what stimulates insulin in your body, there’s one more thing you should do to get maximum results. And that is to keep your carbohydrate intake high throughout the whole day. And I’m talking about complex carbs, or even some that are moderately glycemic (not too high in sugar). You are a hardgainer, so make sure you’re not a low carb diet.

Enjoy!

”The Smart Hardgainer”
Andy Mikulka

Have you been going to the gym regularly for months and haven’t been able to put on any serious poundage? If you answered yes to any of these questions, it’s time to take a step back and make some plans. Building muscle is not rocket science. There are four key factors that will mean the difference between building muscle and staying skinny. You have to ask yourself these four questions.

Is my diet optimized for building muscle?

It’s time to get out of the “3 meals per day” mentality. If you want to gain (or lose) weight you need to feed your body whole foods, six times per day. This means splitting your large meals up and eating about once every three hours. Not only is this good for your metabolism, but your body will use the foods instead of storing them as fat.

Your six meals per day should consist of mainly complex carbohydrates and protein. You should aim for at least thirty grams of protein per meal. High protein foods include lean meat, chicken, fish, egg whites, cheese and milk products. Complex carbohydrates are found in brown rice, brown bread and potatoes. Stay away from foods high in salt and sugar

Should I be using supplements, and when should I be taking them?

If you can afford supplements you should be using them. The basic three you should be considering are protein, carbs and creatine. Whey protein supplements are the fastest known way to deliver quality protein to your muscles. This makes shakes particularly effective after your workouts, when your body is craving protein for muscle re-growth.

There are three key times that supplements should be taken. First thing in the morning, after your workout and before bed. If your diet is up to scratch you shouldn’t need supplements at any other time. Don’t use supplements to replace meals. Supplements are supplements, not meal replacements.

Am I training hard and not smart?

The biggest mistake the new lifters make is thinking that the more they workout the bigger they’ll get. This couldn’t be further from the truth! Two basic rules you must remember when it comes to weight training. First, quality is better than quantity. Second, compound exercises are the kings of building muscle.

Compound exercises require at least two joint movements. Big compound exercises are the squat, bench press, wide grip pull up and seated row. These movements recruit many more muscles fibers to use to move the weight. This means more muscle groups are worked, the exercise is more challenging and the potential for growth is much greater.

Generally you should be doing three compound exercises for one isolation exercise. For example your back/biceps workout might consist of wide grip pull ups, seated row, bent over row and standing bicep curl. You might think this is not enough work for your biceps? Wrong. Your biceps are worked heavily in all over these exercises; the bicep curl just finishes them off.

The length of any training session should not exceed one hour. And you only need to train one muscle group once per week. This means a split routine should only need to be three days per week. In fact, most professional bodybuilders only train four times per week. Remember, it’s quality not quantity.

Do I get enough rest and recovery time?

When you workout you’re not building your muscles, you’re breaking them down. The reason why you looked “pumped up” when you’re in the gym is because your muscle tissue is swollen and damaged. Your muscles actually grow when you are resting. So in simple terms, no rest equals no muscle growth.

So take it easy when you’re not working out. Ease up on the cardio. And make sure you get plenty of sleep. Sleep is the body’s number one time for building muscle. This is also why it’s important to eat before bed, so your body has the fuel to repair muscle in your sleep.

Simple isn’t it?

So you can see that despite what you read in magazines or on the web about building muscle, it’s surprisingly simple. If you get the four aspects I have mentioned in this article right, you will build muscle. If you’ve got any questions, I’m available on the forum on my site. See links in my bio.
