What is an effective weight lifting routine for building muscle? How many sets and repetitions per set should I be doing?
For example, if I am doing bench presses, should I do 12 repetitions and slightly increase the weight per set? Or should I use a larger increase the weight per set and do less repetitions?
If anyone could provide some tips or advice, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Dave234098712 asked:
Like, I don’t want to just be skinny. Because I already am at a perfect weight. I just don’t want to gain fat. I want to gain muscle. Which I am lacking muscle…
Is Atkins a good diet plan to help me do this? Or no?

Treating Receding Hairline and Baldness
May 29 at 8:08pm by bodybuilder
Hair loss and receding hair is a frequent and common problem which affects both male and female alike. Losing fifty to one hundred hairs a day is ordinary and not uncommon, but once one are losing more than that and you start seeing bald spots on your head, you may have a hair loss problem.
Unusual hair loss can be due to a number of causes, but a few of the most frequent factors responsible are genetics, stress, and depression.
High fever and severe infection are other reasons you may be losing your hair, and from four weeks to three months after you have a high fever or go through with a major surgery, you can expect a significant amount of hair to fall out. The difference here is that the hair loss should only be temporary.
Insufficient protein in a diet could also result in hair loss and a receding hairline, as some vegetarians and folks who have severely poor eating habits may develop protein malnutrition which regularly ends up in hair thinning or loss. Large hair loss can happen 2 to 3 months after you start eating this way, but again this kind of balding is non-permanent and the hair will regrow when you begin back on an ordinary diet.
Treatment
If you are afflicted by balding and receding hairline , alopecia treatment is probably the best hair loss treatment. There’s an array of different products available on the market today, and the most important thing is that you take some time to find the right one for you.
Rogaine is an example of the hair loss products that the general public are acquainted with. It is very fast acting and effective, and definitely one hair loss treatment that should be one of the highest on your list. If you would like to get the maximum out of Rogaine you’ll need to apply it properly, twice a day, each single day.

This is only 1 of the numerous different treatments that are out there, and it may take you a touch of random attempt before you’re able to achieve the results that you’re looking for

Homemade Colon Cleanse: The Magic of Triphala
May 28 at 8:08pm by bodybuilder
Homemade colon cleanse is fast becoming a popular way of cleaning the body over other options because readily available ingredients at home are natural foods which are loaded with fibers. Fibers are known to be very effective in keeping constipation at bay and they also help keeping the colon stay in good shape. Nuts and vegetables as well as fruits and cereals help in stimulating the intestines and will add to the cleansing of the colon.
The Triphala Benefits
When it comes cleansing the colon, one of the most effective homemade colon cleanse comes from an ordinary herb. The potent triphala powder comes from the small triphala herb. Prior to succumbing into the world of dreams, ingesting in a couple of tablespoons with lukewarm water should do the trick.
The triphala herb is in fact a formation that has been created by ayurvedic means. triphala contains a lot of magnesium, oxygen even vitamin C. It also has plenty of hydrogen in it. It is a natural herb that has proven its capabilities over time as a cheap but very effective homemade colon cleanse.
This homemade colon cleanse makes the colon to start its absorption of the ingredients found in triphala. As soon as these ingredients go into the colon they start to suction oxygen in the intestines from the person’s lungs; this helps break down the food as well as accumulated waste. This loosens the hard waste materials that might be clinging to arterial walls or even the walls of the intestines.
The triphala benefits, as an exceptional homemade colon cleanse, include the prevention of anaerobic bacterial formation which would have normally rendered the colon ineffective. This homemade colon cleanse promotes aerobic bacterial development which in turn will help lower the toxin levels as well as cleanses out the entire digestive system. Another benefit of this homemade colon cleanse is that triphala helps in supplying energy to body cells that in turn helps ensures that the cells remain more active.
It should be made clear that homemade colon cleanse diets are effective because they are not presumptuous in labeling itself as a special diet that has been especially and magically created in order to cleanse out the colon. What makes homemade colon cleanses diets like those with the triphala herb effective is their content: these packed with natural ingredients which the body recognizes. In fact, the triphala benefits are better if your body also uses other naturally made ingredients.

How important are carbohydrates in building muscle?
May 28 at 6:06am by admin
AG asked:
Are carbs necessary to build muscle? I eat a lot of protein (200-300 grams a day) and plenty of “good” fats (flax seed, almonds, etc), but I probably only eat 100 grams a day of carbs.
I realize that in order to build muscle I have to eat enough total calories. So assuming that my overall caloric intake is high enough, will my relatively low carb intake hinder my muscle growth?
Thanks!

What’s the difference between building muscle and building mass?
May 27 at 6:06pm by admin
Tinkerbell asked:
In order to build muscle mass, do I first have to build muscle? I am very confused. I have been lifting weights for 2 months and I am toning up, but I want to bulk up my legs and hips. How? Repetitions/weights? What should I be eating? (Currently 1200-1400 calories daily) I don’t want my upper body any larger. Is this what you call weight distribution? A lot of questions, I know… Give me your best shot.

Discover Why Traditional Diets Don’t Work
May 27 at 1:01pm by bodybuilder
Have you tried virtually every diet you can think of, but still looking for one that works? Why is it that so many diets fail? It’s incredible how many people still teach the myth that eating less will bring about weight loss. In actual fact when we go on a low calorie diet we are at risk for gaining weight. Your body is designed to interpret restricted food consumption with starvation. When we intentionally deprive our bodies of food we send our body into starvation preservation mode.
Studies show that thin people tend to eat a diet that have more complex carbohydrates (such as fruits and veg, wholegrains etc) and most people who are overweight usually have diets that contain more fat. We need to fully understand how our bodies work in order to create a successful weight loss program. One of the best ways to lose weight is to observe a low GI diet where you restrict the total amount of carbs you eat each day, but don’t worry too much about the other foods. You still need to make sure you don’t overeat, by carefully managiing your portion sizes, and ensuring you get the right proportion of healthy and nutritious foods which should also be low in saturated fats.
Chances are there are habits that contributed to the weight gain and the weight gain was not over night but took years to accumulate. Because gaining all that weight happened over time, getting back to your normal weight won’t happen in an instant. People who haven’t figured out the balance between watching what you eat, ensuring you get enough water, getting regular exercise and getting plenty of sleep are the next customers to the marketing companies pushing the latest fad diet, diet pill or quick weight loss diet. You don’t need to look far to find the latest fad diet or weight loss program. Because most individuals today have been programmed to want everything now, it’s much easier to think (or even believe) that a magic does exist that can burn off fat virtually overnight, than to conceive that we have power to re-structure our lives and live healthier longer lives where being overweight and unhealthy is the thing of the past.
Diets simply don’t work because they do not encourage a healthy balance within your body. Diets fail because some are designed towards making the promoter or some company wealthy rather than producing a diet plan or program that will genuinely aid a person to lose weight.
Everybody is telling us that people who are overweight are at increased risk of diseases and other serious health conditions due to being overweight. Excessive fat and processed carbs in your diet is one of the main contributors to unnecessary body fat.
For too many years people have been instructed that they need to cut down on food or count every calorie they consume in the hope that they will burn off excess fat. Believe it or not our bodies are very proficient when it has to manage weight assuming that we give them what they need to stay healthy – like getting enough sleep, plenty of water, wholesome and nutritious foods, and daily physical activity.
Getting rid of those extra pounds is not only about counting calories, you also need to avoid eating in excess. Proper portions of wholesome foods are crucial to losing weight. It’s also important that you get plenty of exercise. Our bodies were made to move!
