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?

Which Turbulence Training Workout Should I Use?

By Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS

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.

Is Correct Form Important When Lifting Weights August 11, 2008

Posted by cozmo15 in : Training Methods , add a comment

Bodybuilding is not for the faint hearted or weak willed. It takes dedication, correct nutrition, motivation and a lot of hard work in the gym.

weight training

Beginners are usually required to take an induction course before using gym equipment for the first time. This induction is to prevent injury(and lawsuits) to the person working out. Information overload is a problem even for bodybuilders. Mens magazines, fitness magazines and the internet all carry vast amounts of information regarding training, nutrition, workouts, etc. This mountain of information can cause confusion for someone new to bodybuilding and usually leads to purchases of unnecessary supplements or worse. overtraining.

If you are an experienced bodybuilder or weight lifter you will have no doubt seen the young guys in the gym trying to outdo each other with weights that are too heavy and even sillier exercises taken from mens magazines or the internet. The result is either injury or the worst form you have seen. Bad form is a common, and sometimes very entertaining, sight in most gyms. Weights are often flung, twirled and generally swung about by clueless people. This is often accompanied by grunts and shouts, for effect. A skinny guy grunting while pressing 15kg dumbbells is not a pretty sight and puts you off.

The problem is they have never been shown how to perform the exercises correctly and other bodybuilders usually find it awkward to approach someone and say, “hey, you’re doing it all wrong”. People do not like to be told they are wrong. Good form when working out with weights not only stops people from looking foolish but also helps achieve better results and avoid injuries.

If you are just starting out in bodybuilding do some research first. Join a bodybuilding forum, introduce yourself and ask some questions. You will find most people are more than willing to help you out. I have listed a few examples below:

There are many more forums out there and google is a good place to start. One of the most comprehensive sites for bodybuilding information is bodybuilding.com . The site is huge and is split into two sections one for workout information and the other for supplements and equipment (I think they ship to the UK as well). The site carries information on all aspects of training and nutrition explained with videos and articles.

When you join a gym make sure they have a qualified instructor who knows what their stuff. Get the instructor to put together a beginners workout plan for you and most importantly ask them to demonstrate the proper form for each exercise in your plan. Another great site for bodybuilders is exrx.net. The site has an extensive directory showing all muscle groups of the body and exercises for each muscle. The exercises are accompanied by a small animation to show the form for the exercise.

Results come quickly for beginners to bodybuilding, providing they keep a cool head, eat properly and use correct form when lifting weights.

Please note this is just my personal opinion. Please feel free to comment on this post.
