Building Lean Body

Fitness: Building Muscle Mass

Tips for building muscle mass… Besides training with heavy weights you must vary your workouts and perform each exercise with perfect form. Cardiovascular training and your nutrition also play a role in building muscle.

As you know, building muscle mass does not happen overnight and consistent training is the key. Training heavy is important, but you must make sure you are performing enough exercises for each body area and enough sets per exercise. An example of a muscle building program is to perform on average four exercises per body part and four sets of each exercise. That is about 16 sets per body part per workout. Many people pyramid the weights up while other people pyramid the weight down. I would suggest a combination, one week go up and the next pyramid down. You should not pyramid down until you know what your sub-max weight is for each exercise. It is a good idea to hire an experienced fitness trainer to help you with this type of training. With strength/muscle building training you should train each body part one time per week. It is very hard training, but this is one way to add substantial muscle mass. Make sure you vary the exercises and workouts so that your body does not adapt to the training. Once your body adapts to the training you will plateau. You must constantly challenge the muscles in order to build muscle mass. Core gets trained more often than once per week and ,make sure you keep up with your flexibility training.

In other words, if you want to look like a bodybuilder you must train like a body builder. If you cannot hire a trainer to get you started try to find a workout partner who has been successful with muscle building training for a number of years. You should be performing squats, bench press, overhead press, and many other exercises with free weights as well as use the machines for some exercises. Training for muscle mass is very intense. You must be injury free and very healthy to train for muscle mass. Please make sure you discuss your exercise plan with your doctor before you begin.

To add muscle mass you must also take a look at your diet. Nutrition is extremely important for any type of training. You may be eating healthy, but there is a chance you should make a few changes to help with your goals. You must look at the number of calories you are eating vs. the number of calories you are burning. You should be eating some protein and carbohydrate at the end of each workout, within 20 minutes. I would not recommend you start drinking protein shakes because you can get all of the nutrients you need through good food. The quality of the food you eat will play an important role in your success. You may not be eating enough calories. Go to WWW.MYPYRAMID.GOV for safe and accurate nutrition information. There are nutrition tools on that website to help you design the best eating plan for you. Another healthy eating website is WWW.EATHEALTHY.ORG . You must also remain well hydrated. Drink Gatorade before, during, and after your workout. For information on Gatorade and sports nutrition you should go to WWW.GSSIWEB.COM . There are many useful articles on that website.

Be sure to take a close look at the cardiovascular training and your other calorie burning activities. Many people training for muscle mass limit their cardiovascular training to a few days per week. Building muscle mass is not easy if you are burning too many calories. Many people training for mass use stationary bikes rather than elliptical machines and stair climbers. Riding a stationary bike does not burn as many calories as the weight bearing cardiovascular machines. It is a good idea to alternate your cardiovascular training.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you would like me to help you more with your training. Let me know how your training is going in a few months. You should see my "Legs Plus" workout! It’s a favorite!

You can download the FREE workouts from my website. They are general conditioning workouts. If you decide to use swing set fitness as part of your summer training you should perform the more challenging workouts near the end of the book.

Top 10 Exercises to Build Bigger Muscle

Build bigger muscles with these killer exercise. Top Ten ways to improve mass.

If you want to build bigger muscle, these are the exercises to do it. Build bigger muscle and build it fast!!

1) Deadlift – Not many weight training exercises work as many muscle groups and build bigger muscle as fast as the deadlift. The neck, traps, upper, middle, and lower back, glutes, hamstrings, quads, biceps, forearms, and abs are all utilized in the deadlift. No other exercise is a better test of overall body power. While uninformed people always ask, "how much can you bench," the question they really should ask is, "how much can you deadlift?" A deadlift is the most basic exercise anyone can do. Bending down and picking a weight up off the floor is the one weight training exercise that mimics everyday real life situations. Most people will rarely find themselves on their back needing to push a heavyweight off their chest but everyone has to bend down and pick things up. If you could only do one exercise to build bigger muscle this would be the one to do.

2) Squat – The squat has been known for years as the "king of all muscle building exercises" and for good reason. I’m not talking about sissy boy half squats either; I’m talking about real below parallel, full squats. If you don’t at least break parallel it’s not a squat. Like deadlifts, squats involve an enormous amount of muscle mass and stimulate the release of anabolic hormones such as testosterone. This is great to build bigger muscle fast. The squat is probably the most revered exercise among serious lifters and the power rack is considered our sacred ground. If you ever want to develop any kind of real lower body strength and build muscle fast, you have no choice but to squat.

3) Chin Up – Not many exercises will build bigger muscle in the upper body like chin ups. Known as the upper body squat, chins stimulate nearly every muscle from the traps down to the abdominals. Any exercise that allows you to move your body through space as opposed to moving a weight or fixed implement around you has a much higher degree of neuromuscular activation, and therefore a much greater potential to elicit gains in size and strength. Look at the development of male gymnasts and you will see for yourself what years of chin ups and dips can do for the upper body. If you want to build muscle fast, be sure to include chin ups in your weight training program.

4) Parallel Bar Dip – A close second to chin ups as one of the best upper body exercises to build bigger muscle fast, and for all the same reasons. If you want big arms you had better include dips in your training program. No other weight training exercise will add slabs of muscle to the triceps as effectively as dips. A huge chest and enormous pair of front delts are also a pleasant side effect that comes with regularly performing this outstanding muscle building exercise.

5) Hang Clean & Push Press – A total body muscle building exercise which hits the calves, hamstrings, glutes, quads, lower and upper back, traps, shoulders, biceps, triceps, and forearms. Although it is, by definition, an Olympic lift, it can be done in more of a strict manner to really target the traps, upper back, and shoulders. When done in this manner, it is not performed solely with the intention of developing explosive speed like most Olympic lifts are performed. Doing the clean and push press in this manner is a form of power bodybuilding and will really blow up the traps and shoulders. If you could only pick one weight training exercise for building muscle, this might be the one. It’s a shame you don’t see this in more bodybuilding programs. It will help you build bigger muscle and do it fast

6) Bench Press – This is one of the three powerlifting exercises and along with Military Presses, is the greatest of all pressing movements to build bigger muscle in the upper body. When looking at the effectiveness of an exercise, the questions to be asked are what will allow the lifter to use the most weight and what exercise involves the most muscle mass. The bench press meets both of these prerequisites and besides being incredibly effective as a muscle building exercise, it is one of the best measures of upper body power.

7) Military Press – Also known as the front press, this was once considered the number one measure of upper body power and was the premier muscle building exercise for the upper body. In the old days of strength training most people didn’t even do bench presses; every weight training exercise was done standing up. Bench pressing was looked down upon as a show lift and real men only did overhead presses to build muscle. Bench pressing took over with the development of powerlifting and bodybuilding and the military press took a back seat. It is still however, a great measure of upper body power and should be done by anyone interested in building an impressive set of shoulders and building overall muscle mass throughout the upper body. Even though some uninformed doctors will have you believe that overhead pressing can be dangerous, old time strong men argue that there would not be as many shoulder injuries as there are today if the military press had remained the upper body weight training exercise of choice. Equally effective variations of the military press include the push press, push jerk and split jerk.

8) Bent Over Rows – When it comes to build bigger muscle in the upper back and lats, bent over rows are hard to beat. This weight training exercise can be performed many different ways; palms up, palms down, wide grip, close grip, to the abdomen, to the sternum, with an ez bar or with a straight bar. However you do them, nothing will develop thickness in the back like rows will, and anyone who has been involved with bodybuilding for a while will tell you there is nothing more impressive than a well developed back, muscular back.

9) Good Mornings – Although they are a rarely performed weight training exercise by a large majority of bodybuilders, good mornings remain one of the staples of a good size and strength gaining program. Powerlifters seem to be the only ones who know about the muscle building properties of this outstanding exercise. The reason this muscle building exercise is often avoided is that good mornings are brutally hard work. But that hard work brings huge rewards. Good mornings will build muscle fast and pack tons of size on your lower back, glutes, and hamstrings. They are also one of the best weight training exercises to help improve your squat and deadlift, which is the main reason they are a mainstay in powerlifting.

10) Pushup – Yes, you read that right, I said pushups are one of the best weight training exercises to build bigger muscle fast. For a beginner pushups are the absolute best muscle building exercise to do for the pecs, delts, and triceps. However, as you make progress and get stronger pushups become too easy and are usually forgotten about. That is a huge mistake. There are several varieties of pushups that can be used by intermediate and advanced lifters such as elevated pushups on pushup handles, dumbbells, or chairs. Pushups can also be done on gymnastic rings hanging from chains and suspended a foot or so above the ground to make them even more challenging. When either of these versions of this awesome muscle building exercise becomes too easy you can have a partner hold weight on your back, use a weighted vest or even drape heavy chains across your back. If you are looking for more variety, Hindu pushups are another great version of this exercise and can sometimes humble even the strongest of men.

So there you have it, the best weight training exercises to build bigger muscle fast. All the food and supplements and drugs in the world are worthless if you train like a Nancy boy. Machines and isolation movements are as effective as running on a treadmill when it comes to getting big and strong. Stick with the weight training exercises above; make them a staple in your training, and start saving up for a new wardrobe. Its time to build bigger muscle fast!

Turning Fat Into Lean Body

February 9th, 2009

Turning fat into mass muscle can be done in 3 easy steps according to the book ‘7 minute muscle, by Jon Benson

Exercise for Turning Fat into Muscle

While you can’t technically turn fat into muscle, you can take some steps to successfully burn fan while building muscle to get a toned and muscular physique.

This is the stuff that late night infomercials are made of. You take a pill or use some sort of ab contraption and miraculously your fat turns into muscle in only a few days! Unfortunately turning fat into muscle is a myth and doesn’t actually work like that in real life. Fat and muscle are made up of entirely different tissues so "turning fat into muscle" is more than just a 1 step process.

Fat is used by your body to store energy while muscle is used for movement and some involuntary functions (pumping blood, digesting food, breathing). Muscles are made out of protein while fat stores are made up of… fat. There is no mechanism to turn fat into protein, it just isn’t possible. Turning fat into muscle is a 2 step process which requires you to burn fat and build muscle in it’s place.

Getting rid of fat is accomplished through exercise that burns a lot of calories. Cardio is a great example. You can run, bike, swim and play sports. To lose body fat you should dedicate 3-5 days per week for cardio lasting 30-60 minutes per session. The more you go, the quicker you’ll lose the fat. While you can lose 1-2 pounds per week, building muscle to take the place of fat is a much slower process. Read more about Guidelines for Cardiovascular Training.

Short of taking steroids, there’s no way you can gain as much muscle as the fat you’re losing. Muscle grows at a very slow pace but with proper exercise you can gain a significant amount. Muscles grow when you stimulate them. When you lift weights at a gym, the muscle becomes damaged and when you rest, it’s rebuilt and becomes stronger than before. Doing this over a long period of time will make you stronger and give you bigger muscles.

To build muscles in the quickest amount of time, dedicate 2-4 days per week for a strength training routine. You can do a total body workout or focus on one or two muscle groups. Read more about Guidelines for Resistance (Strength) Training.

Remember that turning fat into muscle is a long term goal. Even thought it’s a 2 step process, you don’t need to accomplish one step to move onto the next. Losing fat and gaining muscle can be a simultaneous activities meaning one part of your workout should be geared towards losing fat and the next for gaining muscle. You won’t see the desired results overnight but you should begin to notice a difference in your body fairly quickly.

For more ways on how to gain muscle while losing weight, visit the Guide to Reducing Body Fat. You can also check out other people’s workouts and share your own at the exercise forums.

Burn Fat And Develop Lean Body

February 9th, 2009

Jon Benson has published a bestseller on how to build mass muscle and burn fat at the same time.

Build Muscle and Burn Fat – How to Achieve that ?

Nowadays, it is clear that people are realizing the status of their health. More and more people are taking a step forward and entering fitness programs. There are hundreds of fitness experts located almost in every city. Gymnasiums are everywhere. People have become aware that staying healthy does not mean just looking good; it is also about preventing the occurrence of heart disease.

Our day to day routines are so complex that we may have trouble finding time to spend taking care of our body. Spending time at the gym helps out, but is this enough to develop your body? If you spend time at the gym but fail to properly structure your routine and eating habits so your body can respond to your work, you will never build muscle.

There are two important things which need to be taken into consideration if you really desire to build muscle and burn fat. First and foremost, you need to change your diet. Food supplies energy to our body. If we do not eat the right food in the right amount, we will never gain muscle.

In order to gain muscle mass, one must train with weights in their workout schedule. It is absolutely essential. The physiques of professional bodybuilders are amazing due to the fact they exercise properly along with their ‘huge’ eating habits. Which would be the best type of exercise and diet for gaining muscle mass and burning fat?

There are eight important parts to the body: the chest, shoulders, triceps, biceps, back, legs, forearm, and the abs. If you would like to bulk up on muscle then you must use a routine that will target one of these body parts each day. You will not build muscle and burn fat by over training any of these body parts. Cardiovascular exercise must also be a part of this routine, anyone who wishes to increase muscle mass must include cardio training in their exercise routine.

Two grams of protein per kg of body-weight must be consumed everyday. Carbohydrates must also be taken in proper amounts if one has to build muscle and burn fat. Chicken breasts, eggs, whey protein, soybeans, olive oil, curd, green vegetables, oatmeal and brown rice are important if you want to build muscle and burn fat. Foods high in fat-content (like butter, red-meat, vegetable oils, junk foods etc.) must be avoided.

About Us

February 9th, 2009

After under going a total laryngectomy operation in July 1995, as a permanent cure for cancer of the larynx, I had to learn to speak again at the age of 49, and till to-day continue to speak with the help of a voice prosthesis.

In 2003, things so happened, that I faced the imminent threat of not being able to use a voice prosthesis any more. When this happens I would become a ‘mute’, totally speechless, creating the need for me to find alternative employment wherein I could work without having to talk.

In May 2004 an American company StoresOnline Inc, of Orem Utah, held a workshop in Melbourne, Australia, promoting ‘Internet Marketing’, and their web hosting services. This was what I was looking for. As an Internet Merchant, emails and published WebPages would do all my talking for me. I purchased a package of 6 websites.

To the question ‘what do I sell on these websites’, was told to try and sell things that I had a passion for, understood, and used a lot. My passions are Animals, especially Cats, Children, Photography and Gift giving, not necessarily in that order.

When I started this venture in May 2004, I discovered that Australians were not yet ready to trust the Internet as a Market Place. Building websites to sell consumer products to the Australian market would have been pointless.

The best International Market I could find was the 48 continental states of the USA. The first site that went live in August 2004 was www.catbedandtoy.com, and gradually the other five followed.

All the products I sell are purchased from manufacturers and distributors in the USA. They send what I buy directly to my customers, cutting out the middle men, thereby making it feasible for me to sell at discount prices.

This is a business venture and the only means of livelihood for me and my dependants. This eing the case, I am Honest and Professional, qualities without which, I cannot succeed in this highly competitive business.

I now own numerous websites. All sites apart from the first SIX have been recently added to help promote the first six sites and to augment my income. Currently my two most important websites are, my blog Internet Marketing Works’, and my list building site http://www.dcostandcosta.com.

www.buildmassmuscle.org is dedicated to providing quality information on the subject of Muscle Building and in particular, Fat Burning and Muscle Building

Here you will find helpful reviews, valuable information, tips and much more.

This site is in the format of a ‘weblog’ so that each time I post new information; it will come to the top of the front page. This means that you can check back here frequently to see new updates to the information found here.

You can navigate through the site by using the menus on the sides of the page. Also don’t hesitate to follow the links you see in bold throughout each post to learn more about the product being spoken about.

I hope you find the information I provide valuable and helpful.

All the best,

Noel Benjamin D’Costa
