There are many contributing factors in building a stronger, leaner body. These aspects must be continuously explored though trial-and-error to custom tailor beneficial routines. However, several rules are commonly endorsed by bodybuilders reaching for new achievements in muscularity. Read more

An interest in bodybuilding is on the rise through out the world. It’s a lifestyle consumed by progressive resistance training and proper diet. Bodybuilding frequently merges with another way of life: Islam, a major religion with a reach across many nations. Muslims are members of the Islamic faith; population estimates vary greatly, but many suggest well over one billion people – almost 25 percent of the world’s total population. Islamic nations are governed by Shariah Law, traditional Islamic law derived from the Koran, Islam’s holy book. Muslim bodybuilders can adhere to Islamic values, even while observing the holy month of Ramadan, with minimal performance loss. Read more

For bodybuilders, a layer of unnecessary body fat hides a proper visual representation of their consistency and dedication to training, nutrition and a general muscle-building lifestyle. Furthermore, excess body fat can lead to metabolic disruptions and improper calorie partitioning. A modest fat gain is a tolerable condition after a period of overeating to support heavy weightlifting for maximum gains in muscle mass. However, before a soft physique turns obese, it’s time to apply a calorie-cutting diet with a fat-loss training routine. It’s important to remain consistent enough to reveal off season muscle-building efforts. Many bodybuilders reverse a soft-body trend before the summer – a season where more favorable outdoor temperatures can increase social relations. But can increasing social ties cause a disruption in a fat-burning period? Read more

A bull, tough and attentive, is released from captivity. Just 50 meters away, a matador unfurls a bright red cape from his uniform. He waves it at the snorting bull. The beast kicks up some dirt and charges, enraged with pent up anger. Bull fighting is a well-known link to the color red and aggression. Is it the color of the cape generating the bull’s aggressive response? Nope, in fact, bulls are color blind – he is simply reacting to the wave of the flag!

The phrase, “seeing red” is an old English reference to an emotional charge of aggression or upset. Does seeing red really generate an innate aggressive response? Also, could it create an ergogenic affect in sports? Some say, it does – and moreover, they claim it creates an unfair advantage in competition. Read more

Muscle memory is a phrase commonly referenced by strength trainees and coaches; however, most use the term incorrectly or fail to totally grasp the relationship to general motor skill ability. The majority of strength athletes simply believe muscle memory refers to an ability to regain muscle, strength lost from an extended period of detraining. More accurately, muscle memory is not the cause of regaining strength but the effect strength training has on the nervous system’s ability to properly activate a muscle intended to perform a specific movement.

Motor memory refers to recalling specific motor skills. Proper motor skills are required for the muscles, brain, skeleton, joints and nervous system to work together efficiently toward accomplishing a task. Muscle memory is properly defined as the body’s collective ability to memorize and perform well rehearsed muscular contractions. Read more

People in great physical conditioning are often asked about the steps toward a successful change in body composition. Bodybuilders and competitive athletes typically spend years in a strong physical condition. They are often solicited for advice about increasing muscle mass and lowering body fat. Formerly obese people learned to gain control of their body composition and become walking success stories. They are often a great source for general weight loss support. No matter who is asked, there is no disputing the impact obesity has on health and general comfort - no matter how many times “big is beautiful” is repeated. People suffering from unhealthy levels of fat mass generally seek out advice asking the same routine questions. The path is frequently dropped right in front of them; they have to choose to walk it.

What is it that keeps bodybuilders dedicated to obtaining physically extreme conditions? They some how find gratification in constant self-torture and disruption - starvation and overeating, microscopic destruction and rebuilding, injury and rehabilitation, restraint and self-indulgence.

Could the brain’s reward systems be so demented? It must be deeper. It doesn’t matter how generous your life has been, the act of building a greater body can become a parallel lease on life - a new opportunity to rein control and feel pleasure. Conceivably it’s how bodybuilding mimics the very stages of life: birth, coming of age, struggle, maturation and death. Read more

Bodybuilding, powerlifting and otherwise extreme athletic conditioning exist in the presence of achievement, difficulties, motivation, goals, perseverance, determination and success. The following are quotes by several sources; notice similarities and find inspiration. Read more

No great battle was ever won without a plan. Small victories are possible but overall achievements on a large scale must be accompanied by a documented plan of attack, as well as an accurate archive of progression and trends.

Strength athletes and bodybuilders commonly call this piece of their gear a training journal, record, diary or log. Success in muscle growth and strength development occurs by pushing past sluggish training periods to avoid months - or years - of futility. Journals allow a trainee, or the coach, to identifying stagnant periods early on, so a timely plan can be constructed for new-found demands promoting adaptation and growth. Read more
