Train At A REAL GYM For Hardcore Muscle Gains!

Train At A REAL GYM For Hardcore Muscle Gains!
By leehayward On Under Beginner Training Advice, Motivation / Inner Game, Videos

Going to the gym and working out regularly is critical to building a lean muscular physique. But another very important thing to consider is the actual gym and the workout atmosphere that you train at…
Not All Gyms Are Created Equal…
Below is a pic of a good Hardcore Old School Gym. But most gyms today are not really gyms at all. They are more along the lines of “Powder Puff Fitness Centers”.




Classic Hardcore “Old School” Gym!

I can remember a while back a buddy of mine shared a story with me about one of these fancy new “gyms”. He wanted to try it out so he bought a day pass and went in for a workout. The free weight section was pretty shitty to begin with, but they did have the basics.
After a few warm up sets he reached in to his gym bag and took out his container of lifting chalk, chalked up his hands and did a set of deadlifts. As soon as he finished his set one of the employees came over and told him:
“You are not allowed to use chalk in here. If you don’t clean up your mess you’ll have to leave!”
With that my friend said:
“What kind of a gym is this? Everywhere else I train allows lifting chalk???”
The employee told him:
“We are not a ‘GYM’ we are a Fitness Center, and we don’t let people use chalk”
With that my friend packed up his things, walked out the door and never came back!
Lesson Learned…
If you are serious about building a ripped muscular physique, than you need to train in a place that will support your efforts, and not hold you back. Just watch the video presentation that I’ve put together for you below to find out if you are training in the right gym or not…

OLD SCHOOL SUPPLEMENT.

Sandbag Training Better Than the Deadlift

Get Big Biceps Fast… Here’s How!

Having big biceps is a great way to improve your image, gain more self-confidence and draw positive attention to yourself. People with well-defined biceps turn heads everywhere they go, and they attract a lot of interest from the opposite sex. They tend to get more dates, go to more parties and feel better about themselves than people with smaller arms. To gain this coveted feature, however, you need to do a little bit of work.
START WITH AN ARM-BUILDING ROUTINE
The exercise routine is the most important part of gaining big biceps. If you want to get big biceps fast, it is essential to work those muscles. Don’t make the mistake of overtraining, however. Your biceps routine should be performed no more than twice a week, giving the muscles time to rest in between. Repeat each exercise eight to twelve times quickly, and perform three sets of each.
The following are the best exercises for building biceps:

* Standing barbell curls



This exercise is the mainstay of any biceps routine. It allows you to lift a lot of weight, and it works the biceps directly. It is the best way to activate many muscle fibers in a short amount of time. To perform the exercise, stand with your feet together and grip the barbell with your hands about shoulder-width apart. Start with your arms straight, and slowly raise the barbell towards your chest, contracting your biceps hard as you reach the top. Next, slowly lower the bar until your arms are fully extended.

• Incline dumbbell curls
This exercise is great for biceps because it allows for complete range of motion and stretches your biceps to their maximum ability. While holding a dumbbell in each hand, lie backwards at a 30 degree angle and stretch your arms down and back. Curl your arms upward, turning your hands towards your body and flexing your biceps at the end, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
• Single-arm preacher curl
With preacher curls, the biceps are doing all of the work. They are almost impossible to perform wrong, and doing them with one arm allows you to work your biceps separately. This exercise is carried out with a preacher bench, holding a dumbbell in one hand with an underhand grip. The execution involves extending the arm over the bench, lifting the dumbbell to the shoulder, and then lowering the weight back down.



• Hammer curls
Performing hammer curls works the muscles to the side of the biceps, giving the biceps region more overall bulk. It begins with the arms to the side and the palms toward each other. With a dumbbell in each hand, the bodybuilder slowly lifts and lowers the weights, keeping the elbows to the sides the entire time.
PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR DIET
Without the proper nutrition, you are going to have a hard time increasing the size of your biceps no matter how much you work out. Your muscles need fuel to grow, so you should increase your calorie intake by 700 to 1,000 calories per day. It is also important to consume one to two grams of protein for optimal muscle growth and to include complex carbohydrates so you’ll have the energy you need for your workout. In addition, make sure to eat after you work out as well as before so that your muscles can repair quickly.
TRY THESE TRICKS
When trying to build big biceps, you should do more than just lift weights. For example:
• Exercise other areas of the body, such as the back, to work biceps indirectly
• Perform heavy and fast sets to build mass quickly
• Lose body fat for more muscle definition
• Mix up your routine or use a barbell instead of dumbbells to force your muscles outside their comfort zone
• Gradually reduce your rest time between sets so your muscles will recover more rapidly

The Secret to Strength and Size and other great stuff Part 4.

Hi,

Here is a great way to use your Mily & Egg protein powder by Matt Marshall from

Tried and True Fitness (http://www.triedandtruefitness.com/the-get-big-drink/889/).

When it came to packing on mass and size, the old-timer lifters developed a tried and true solution.

The Get Big Drink.

In the book, The Keys To Progress, author John McCallum shares this proven fix for skinny guys who need to gain weight.



The Original Get Big Drink:


2 quarts of whole milk
2 scoops of protein powder (Milk & Egg Protein)
2 cups of skim milk powder.

Blend.

Then add:

2 eggs.
4 tablespoons of peanut butter
1/2 a brick of chocolate ice cream
1 banana
4 tablespoons of malted milk powder
6 tablespoons of corn syrup.

Mix everything together and keep it in a bowl or jug in the fridge.

Here’s the key: Drink it slowly throughout the day. This mixture contains approximately 3,000 calories and 200 grams of protein.

It makes about 10 cups. So if you drink a cup every couple hours you’ll be providing your body with a steady stream of protein and calories — perfect for gaining weight fast.

These days, we’ve got fancy new protein powders and high priced supplements. I’ve actually seen “special” protein powders selling for over $400 a jug!

But the truth is, when it comes to gaining mass fast the old time Get Big Drink will do you just as well as the new-fangled high priced stuff.

So if you need to pack on some additional mass, you might want to take a page from the old timers playbook and give this Get Big Drink a try.

Of course, you can’t just drink this concoction and sit on your butt. You’ve got to pair it with an old school Tried & True mass building plan.

Get your copy of the Tried & True Fitness Guide To Muscle & Might and discover all sorts of proven, old school training programs.


God bless you all.

The Secret to Strength and Size and other great stuff Part 3

The Secret to Strength and Size and other great stuff Part 3.

Hi,

In this "Secrets to Strength and Size" series, we have discussed some very basic "old school" style of training and supplementing.

We learned that Milk & Egg protein is the food you will need to build your strength and size. You will begin to see that these secrets

aren't secrets at all but information on training that has gotten swept under the rug and forgotten.


*****************************
How did it get so complicated
*****************************

If we look back into muscle building history, you will begin to see how the information for building your body has become complicated

and completly useless. To start with we have the bodybuilding magazines.

If we go back into modern bodybuilding history, which started around the early 1940's,(note: Physical Culture goes back much further

but modern bodybuilding as we know it today started around the 1940's) you will notice that many of the superstars of that era were

all weight lifters. Keep in mind that out of weight lifting Bodybuilding and power lifting were born. If you read the book

"Muscle town USA" The Manly Culture of York Barbell, you will slowly see how many of the weight lifting stars of the 1930's

developed their bodies by traing the olympic and power lifts. Through this type of training, their bodies developed strength, size and muscle.

Many discarded their weight lifting and focused on muscle development and only used their weight lifting in their bodybuilding routines similar to

the exercises I gave you in issue one of this newsletter"The Secret to Strength and Size and other great stuff part 1."


***********
Supplements
***********

The history of supplements came much later, around the 1950's. It was during the 1950's when Joe Weider took bodybuilding out of the halls

of weight lifting and cultivated it to what it is today in its various degrees and levels. Many athletes knew that eating a proper

bodybuilding diet combined with good supplements would help them in reaching their goals. Milk & egg protein mixed with cream was a

standard staple in many mass building diets along with multi vitamin-mineral tablets and liver tablets.


********
Steroids
********

Steroids made their way and became widly used by american bodybuilders and strength athletes in the era of the 1960's with dianabol being

the one that started it all.

But if we look back, we can see that building a good body without the use of ergogenic aids of any kind is attainable. Just look at

John Grimek during his hay day. The only things available at that time were your basic supplements mentioned above coupled with ahrd old school style training.


I will have more great information for you that you can begin using in future issues of this e-newsletter.


I developed a newsletter that specializes in real world of muscle and strength training. This is information you will not get in any of those glitsy

newsstand muscle magazines. My goal with my newsletter is to bring you back to the real world and tell you what you need to know

and not what you want to hear about building your body. I also take you by the hand by showing you through DVD instruction on

how its done. You will get a quarterly subscription to "barbells-Dumbbells-Bodyweight" along with a DVD of training instruction.

Go to: www.barbellsdumbbellsbodyweight.com. This is a physical newsletter. Nothing to download. You will not be disapointed.


God bless you all.

The Secret to Strength and Size and other great stuff Part 2

The Secret to Strength and Size and other great stuff Part 2

Hi,

In the previous email I sent out I gave you a simple and yet

powerful training program to use for building loads of strength.

Loads of strength equals mucho size (lots of size). Now the

next tip I want to share with you is what kind of protein drink

to make to help you pack on size and strength. I have been

reading and studying how the old school bodybuilders ate and

trained. With all of the great protein powders out there the

one that sticks out as "the one that works" is the classic

Milk & Egg protein powder. This is the protein many of the

great champions drank for power and mass. The best place

to get your Milk & Egg protein powder is at ironmind.com.

They are the ones who sell the best one and its the one

I use. All of their products is top quality. You can trust

them and know that you are getting a great product.

Stay tuned for my next tip on how to use your milk & egg

protein powder along with eating nutrition tips.

God Bless you all.
