Muscle Building Workouts – Easy Steps to Build Up Muscle Fast Without Supplements

By Vera Lopez

Never expect miracles any time you start on the numerous muscle building workouts. One thing you have to note is that it is not the workouts that give the muscles. All that the workouts do is to give your muscles the stimulus it requires and the growth only comes with a lot of adequate rest. This will also not be very effective without the required nutrition and hydration conditions. However it will be very good if we examine the issue about muscle building workouts.

A lot of people have come to believe that in order to build your muscles, the only way is to use those numerous machines at the gym but this is not the case. If you want to build your muscles, you have to use the compound exercises that come with free weights. Some also call this kind of training the hardcore training.

The compound exercises are very effective and make use of movements of several groups of muscles at the same time. In fact, one of such is the bench press which makes use of the shoulder and the triceps muscles including others even though it targets the chest muscles. The free weights that accompany these exercises are weights that should not be supported by any other mechanical means like the use of barbells and dumbbells. You are required to do the lifting as well as the balancing.

In order to make your muscle building workouts very effective you have to do the training split. This will involve the training of one set of muscles for a day and then doing the same to another set the next day. It will help most of the muscles get a good rest so that they can grow well. It could also be possible to group two or more muscles and then train them on a single day. For instance you could easily train the shoulders and back today and then the thighs tomorrow. After this you could skip for a day and then train the legs and the chest. This way you would have offered an effective regime of training to the whole body in just a matter of three days. You could then take a rest for about one week.

All these muscle building workouts are very effective as well as helpful, but it will require some level of consistency in order to achieve the desired results.

Coffee More Effective Than Drugs At Easing Muscle Soreness February 17, 2009

Apparently caffeine from as little as two cups of coffee can help reduce or ease muscle soreness caused when working out. Caffeine was found to be more effective than aspirin at easing muscle pain caused by vigorous cycling exercise. Quoted below

Drinking a cup of coffee is more likely to reduce muscle pain during a workout than taking an aspirin, suggests a small study from the US.

Researchers at the University of Georgia found that caffeine reduced thigh muscle pain during cycling exercise. The natural ingredient is added to many sports nutrition products as it has been shown to ‘enhance performance’. This effect could however be a result of its pain inhibiting role, suggest the scientists. The same team has also previously shown that aspirin, though commonly used to treat muscle pain, did not reduce muscle pain produced by vigorous exercise.

“Muscle contractions produce a host of biochemicals that can stimulate pain. Aspirin blocks only one of those chemicals,” said Patrick O’Connor, professor of exercise science in UGA’s College of Education. “Apparently the biochemical blocked by aspirin has little role in exercise-induced muscle pain.”

In the study, published in the August issue of the Journal of Pain, 16 non-smoking young adult men, cycled for 30 minutes on two separate days. The exercise intensity was the same on both days and purposefully set to make the riders’ thigh muscles hurt. Participants in the study took either a caffeine pill or a placebo pill one hour before the exercise.

The riders reported feeling substantially less pain in their thigh muscles after taking caffeine compared to after taking the placebo, according to researchers. This suggests that prior reports showing that caffeine improves endurance exercise performance might be explained partially by caffeine’s hypoalgesic properties, said O’Connor.

“Not all analgesics or combinations [acetaminophine and caffeine] are effective for every type of pain or every individual,” he said. “Much of this is due to biological variation among people in receptors for the drugs as well as variation in pain receptors in different body tissues. For instance, brain tissue has no pain receptors so surgery can be done on the brain without anesthesia. Of course it will hurt getting through the skin and cranium.”

Caffeine also seems to work less well for heavy caffeine users whose receptors adapt with caffeine use, O’Connor said.

“The next step is to learn how caffeine helps people feel less muscle pain during exercise,” said Robert Motl, lead author of the study and an assistant professor of kinesiology at the University of Illinois. “Evidence suggests that caffeine works by blocking the actions of adenosine, however, we don’t know yet whether the caffeine is acting on muscles or the brain.”
