Body Building Information

Many who think of strength training equipment think of the massive muscles that many bodybuilders get and consequently show off in competitions. This can be a plus or a drawback for many consumers. The average consumer likes to be able to say feel good about themselves when they go swimming, but many are concerned about building too much muscle and suffering from stereotypical viewpoints. This needn’t be a worry for anyone considering strength training equipment.

The average body builder works out a lot in order to get the muscles they are famous for, plus they have to be on a very strict regimen with lots of protein and little or no fat. It would take you a lot of effort to become as built as the average bodybuilder. Many consumers can use simple free weights in order to [ Continue Reading ]

I like to do things completely different from what most people do. If conventional wisdom says “train each bodypart once a week for best results,” I immediately start thinking “I wonder what’ll happen if I train each body part EVERY SINGLE DAY?”

And let me tell you, this mindset has allowed me to discover some pretty amazing things about how the body works…how it burns fat and how it builds muscle and strength!

But that being said, when you’re training to make rapid changes to your body, you MUST start with the basics. There’s no getting around it…not even with the stuff I’m about to show you! Without first having the basics in order (such as good nutrition and [ Continue Reading ]

If you have been thinking about weight training, you need to separate bodybuilding facts from fiction.

1. 12 Repetitions are a must do

Not really. Most weight training programs extol 12 repetitions as a hard and fast rule for gaining muscle. The truth is, this approach actually denies important muscle groups of enough tension for effective muscle gain over the life of your training program. High tension, caused by use of heavy weights, provides tension so the muscle group being worked actually grows in size. This leads to noticeable gains in strength. Using the 12 rep rule boosts muscle size by generating tension on tissues around muscle fibers. The payoff is greater strength and endurance.

The standard prescription of eight to 12 repetitions provides a balance but [ Continue Reading ]

The quickest way to add size to your arms that makes a visual impact is to build up your triceps. And if you’re serious about building big, muscular triceps, this is the list for you! But before I give you my Top 5 list for triceps-building success, let me explain my how I created this list.

But getting the most from these exercises [ Continue Reading ]

Fundamentals

Stance

A consistent position helps develop a consistent swing. A square stance will encourage a square impact. Keep feet perfectly parallel to the target line. If you imagine standing on a train track your feet are against one rail the ball is next to the other. Develop a comfortable standing position with your feet directly below your shoulders with your toes slightly outward facing.

Position the ball 2-3 inches inside the left heel for most shots. If it is too far forward you will be more likely to slice.

Moving one foot slightly forward will enable either fade (outside to inside) or draw (inside to outside). Experiment with the shot direction on how much you move your foot.
