Holland and Barrett Body Fortress Protoplex Protein May 7, 2009

Posted by cozmo15 in : Muscle Building Supplements, Training Methods , add a comment

Holland and Barrett sell a 1.6kg tub of Protoplex for £34.99 which is quite expensive I suppose. How many people out there have tried this and what do think of it? I am thinking of getting the strawberry flavour. I normally try to buy it when they have half price sales but desperately need a restock.

Let me know your opinions of this product. I think Holland and Barrett or Body Fortress are an American company so maybe it is sold in the USA?

In this latest article Will talks about the many different types of Creatine that we are lead to believe are better and more effective than plain old creatine monohydrate. Many bodybuilders will have fallen victim to marketing machine at some point, me included, and wasted money on expensive new products that simply don’t give results.

I am unfortunate in being among the 30% of people for whom creatine does not work. I have tried different doses and loading periods with no success so it seems I am back with the whey protein and my own efforts. Not necessarily a bad thing.

Picture Of Bodybuilder Frank Zane Posing May 2, 2009

I came across this picture of famous bodybuilder Frank Zane posing and thought it should be shared with you. As you may already know Frank Zane was at his peak in the late 70s and 80s and frequently competed against Arnold Schwarzenegger, amongst other bodybuilders of the time.

Frank Zane had the best all round physique out of all the early bodybuilders and his posing was second to none. He made it look effortless which is certainly not true. Have you ever tried to pose in front of the mirror? I tried it and decided to give up before someone spotted me!

Which Turbulence Training Workout Should I Use?

By Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS

turbulencet3_3

With Turbulence Training for Fat Loss, there are a lot of workouts. to choose from.

So why did I create so many fat burning programs?

Because you need to have variety in your workouts to keep on
boosting your metabolism, and burning fat month after month.

If you did the same workout program for 3 months straight, your results would screech to a halt after 5 or 6 weeks.

With the Turbulence Training fat loss program, you will be able to change your workouts every 4 weeks. Each time you do that, you’ll kickstart your fat burning and your metabolism to a new level.

You must change your workout every 3-4 weeks.

Unfortunately, with so many Turbulence Training workouts, people often ask, “Which program should I start with?”. So here are the fat burning guidelines you need to get the most out of
Turbulence Training no matter what your fitness level…

1) The Best Program for a Total BEGINNER

Overweight, sedentary beginners should start with the Introductory Program in the main Turbulence Training for Fat Loss manual.

If you haven’t been doing any exercise, you must start there. No
exceptions.

The bodyweight exercises will prepare your muscles for all future workouts, and will prevent the overuse injuries people usually get when they start a high-volume cardio program (which is the worst thing an overweight person can do for weight loss).

2) The Best Program for an Experienced Lifter Who Has NOT Exercised in the Last 4 Weeks

Please start with the Intermediate Workout from the main Turbulence Training for Fat Loss program.

BUT NOTE: Do only ONE SET per exercise in each workout in the first week.

This will prevent you from being excessively sore from the
exercises, which can occur when you have been away from exercise for so long.

3) The Best Program For ADVANCED Fitness & Fat Loss

I suggest you start with the “Original Turbulence Training
Workout” from the main Turbulence Training for Fat Loss manual.

Work your way through each following three advanced workouts in the manual.

Upon completion of the Turbulence Training for Fat Loss workouts from the main manual, you can move onto the bonus workouts in this order:

A) If you are a women that wants to put the final touches on
a female physique, use the Turbulence Training for Women
workout.

B) If you are a man that wants to build muscle, use the TT
for Muscle program.

C) If you want to keep burning fat, move to the DB-BW Fusion
Workout.

D) Follow that with the 30-Day Advanced Fat Loss program.

E) And finally, finish with the Advanced Fusion Fat Loss
4-Week Program.

At any time you are traveling or want a break from the dumbell
workouts, you can use the beginner, intermediate, or advanced
bodyweight program from the Original Bodyweight 4-Week TT workout.

Sincerely,
