WEAPONX THOUGHTS

I have many clients ask day in and day out what is the best time rate to rest? The fact is that studies have found keeping your rest range between sets at 60- 90 seconds is going to fundamentally release endogenous growth hormone in your body. Growth, of course, is related to the fountain of youth, the recuperation and augmentation of muscles, the vitality of bodily functions and organelles. If you decide that you really want to kick your body into high gear on the weights, I personally would suggest supersetting all of your movements to shock growth hormone into play and sustain a high metabolic rate on elongated aenoribic activity. Supplement your hard workouts by first consuming your aminos 15 minutes after and then wait a window of 15 to 20 minutes after that and consume a fast digesting protein!

So here I go on the wonderful endeanvor of low carb cycling for over a period of 10 weeks, not as bad as last time considering that I had to do it for 16. Everybody wish me good luck, hope to take home MR.NATURAL ARIZONA!

I have always been a true follower of many Arnold principles. He believes that in order to acheive the best peak on your bicep you truly have to connect your mind and muscle to be as one and imagine that your bicep is going to pop right out of your skin. I firmly believe in this as well, however, I found a small tip to give everyone to really create a fundamental peak. As you begin your concentric movement imagine that you are going to turn your wrist into complete supinaition, once reached twist your pinkie so that it moves towards your outer bicep head, hold and squeeze. You will really feel the difference!

If you find yourself stuck with your leg developement and strength, it would probably be most beneficial to introduce plyos to your program. They are the perfect explosive training style to further enhance not only your leg strength but your endurance as well. You can simply start by doing 6" box jumps for 10 reps at 3 sets as you move further go higher and longer. Plyos also keep the body beneficial for purposes such as running, it is most important to keep our bodies athletic and healthy!

Progress

I was more than happy to finally have the guts to put up my new progress pics. I am fairly unhappy about water retention and slight bloat, but overall my progress is unreal. My shoulders, pecs, back, arms and legs have gained tremendous size. Overall, I feel certain the water retention will flush with my upcoming low carb cycling for competition, so I guess its not really that big of a deal. Its just that slight phobia of becoming overweight again, I don’t ever want to go back!

This blog is to enlighten some on the neurological factors and physical factors that stress induced behavior can cause. Stress is a horrible thing, it can cause us to raise our blood pressure, create intense cravings, miss sleep, anxiety attacks, etc. Did you know that stress is a huge stunt in the metabolic process as well as anabolism and hypertrophy. Stress can produce the catabolic hormone cortisol, which is bad for both men and women. Not only can you loose muscle mass, but you will surely gain fat weight. Solutions? Find the root of the problem that exist and try to cope with it as calmly as possible, do daily breathing excercises and when you find yourself in a stressful situation practice deep breathing and calm yourself as much as possible!

We all live in todays bodybuilding realm where habits are routine and precise, to deviate from these habits could mean psychotic breakdowns. I myself have been bodybuilding now for over 3 years and I know the routine and habit of food preperation, hitting precise times on cardio, and the exact molding of the human body. Ive read about periodization many of times in books of all sorts. My mind grasped the concept, yet I didnt want to even try it if it meant time off. Recently, I had no choice in the matter. I was forced to take off a period of 7 days from my recent mass phase, my mass phase consisted of lower reps, higher calorie intake and increased fat oxidation cardio. I found the time off really did help tremendously, my body responded with a lean mass gain of 6 pounds the following week. My strength has augmented, my power is unbelievable, and even my mood seems to be more driven than it was after my first bodybuilding contest. In conclusion, this method is great given the circumstances that the week to 2 weeks off you dont eat crap and completely remain sedentary. Let your mind go free from the gym, do some outdoor experiences, go hiking, walk your dogs, hell even ride your dirt bike or street bike if you have one, get some fresh air and the following week will prove your revival!
