BIG ARMS ! CURLS FOR THE GIRLS

                  LETS GET OUR ARMS JACKED !

. Standing Bar Curls:

The biceps curl can be performed a number of ways: standing with dumbbells (both hands curling or alternating), one arm resting on inner thigh as with the concentration curl, preacher curl variations (including the one arm version featured in this article) and seated with dumbbells.
Given the main role of the biceps is elbow flexion, the logical movement for stimulating the most amount of muscle in this region is the curl, and the most basic of all the curling movements is the standing barbell version, universally known as the greatest biceps exercise ever.
To Perform:
• Hold bar with a shoulder-width grip, with arms straight toward the floor and elbows locked an inch from your sides.
• Curl weight toward the chest, while keeping the elbows and back fixed.
• Contact the biceps as the bar reaches the front of the chest.
• Resist weight as it slowly lowers to the floor for a full stretch.
Exercise Data
Main Muscle Worked: Biceps
Other Muscles Worked: None
Equipment: Barbell
Mechanics Type: Isolation

2. One-Arm Preacher Curls:

This exercise could be considered an isolating movement as it really focuses stress on the peak (which is found on the short head and is genetically determined) and adds to fullness at the lower portion of this muscle. However, as mentioned it does add to fullness and I have found it to be one the best movements for enhancing overall size.
To Perform:
• Using a regular preacher bench, hold dumbbell with an underhand grip while locking elbow firmly in place in an extended position on the bench.
• Slowly curl the dumbbell up, trying to touch the shoulder of the arm being worked.

Main Muscle Worked: Biceps
Other Muscles Worked: None
Equipment: Dumbbell

3. Incline Dumbbell Curls:

Another good overall mass builder (second only to standing bar curls in my opinion) is the incline dumbbell curl. It allows one to achieve a full range of motion while getting a maximal stretch at the bottom of the movement. The amount of weight used will be less than with the bar curl, but providing the form is kept strict it will produce an amazing pump.
To Perform:
• Lying back on an incline bench, hold two dumbbells with arms extended down and back.
• Curl the dumbbells up and out with both hands, being sure to turn the wrists as the weights are raised.
• Slowly return to start position.

4. Hammer Curls:

The hammer curl, although not strictly a biceps exercise, will develop the brachialis, lending a greater degree of overall size to the biceps area. The brachialis, the strongest flexor of the elbow, runs along the side of the upper arm and comprises much of the lower biceps area.
It conveys the impression, in those with full development, of a tennis ball stuck under the skin between the biceps and triceps. Developing it to its fullest will help to push the biceps up therefore creating the illusion of a peak, and fill out the lower portion of the biceps, providing overall thickness in this area.
To Perform:
• With elbows fixed at the side of the body, place the palms in a neutral position (palms facing one another).
• Curl the dumbbells up, the same way you would for a regular dumbbell curl.
• Lower dumbbells slowly and repeat.
Note: Ensure elbows are fixed at sides throughout the movement, as this will eliminate any shoulder movement, thus placing a greater load on the brachialis.
Exercise Data
Main Muscle Worked: Biceps
Other Muscles Worked: Forearms
Equipment: Dumbbell
Mechanics Type: Isolation

 

Variation:
A hammer curl variation I have found to work well is the alternate version. Simply perform the movement as instructed, one arm at a time. This will allow for a greater focus to be placed on each brachialis muscle.

Other Muscles Worked: Forearms

PERFECT ABS NOW !

Most Effective Ab Exercises

here’s a quick look at the most effective ab exercises:

• Lying leg raises
• Hanging leg raises: knee ups, bent leg raise, hanging leg raise, feet-to-the-bar bent leg raises, swinging side-to-side bent knee ups
• Planks: regular, side
• Ab wheel
• Renegade rows
• Hip bridges & back bridges: not ab exercises, but useful to counteract the effect of bending the spine forward

All of the exercises listed above can be used in anyone’s workout routine.  There’s no reason why men and women can’t perform the same workout.  However, women generally seem to prefer a flat stomach with some definition whereas men want the fully defined six pack.

Best Ab Workout for Women

Here is the Flat Abs Workout from Abs Blueprint 1.0.  It might not look like much on paper but it’s pretty challenging and will help women develop that nice bikini body without getting overly defined abs.

• Lying leg raises: 5 sets of 20 reps
• Hip bridges: hold for a few minutes
• Planks: 2 minute regular plank, 1 minute right side plank, 1 minute left side plank

Best Ab Workout for Men

Here is the Deep Abs Level 1 Workout from Abs Blueprint 1.0.  The idea is to perform a stabilization and ab flexing combo exercise followed by a fatigue exercise and then a density exercise.  It concludes with a stabilization exercise and bridges.

• Feet-to-the-bar bent leg raises: 5 sets of 10 reps
• Swinging side-to-side bent knee ups: failure
• Renegade rows: 5 sets of 3 reps
• Planks: regular plank for at least 2 minutes
• Hip or back bridges: 5 minutes

My Ab Workout

Like all good workouts, Abs Blueprint 1.0 provides enough flexibility to structure your own routine.  I like to maximize the use of my time through supersets.  As a starting point, I include renegade rows as part of a superset with standing shoulder press.  Then I perform the following ab exercises and bridges:

Superset 1:
Feet-to-the-bar bent leg raises or hanging leg raises with weights: 3 sets of 10 reps
Stand-to-stand back bridges: 3 sets of 10 reps (these are outlined in convict conditioning)

Superset 2:
Swinging side-to-side bent knee ups: failure
Ab wheel or planks: at least 2 minutes

Superset 3:
Lying leg raises: 3 sets of 20 reps
Neck bridges: 3 sets of 1 minute

Improve Mind-to-Muscle Link

In addition to the above workout, I’ve decided to add in some morning abdominal exercises to improve my mind-to-muscle link.  This will naturally increase the tone of your abs.  Abs Blueprint 1.0 recommends performing this type of routine for no more than 3 weeks at a time to avoid overtraining. 

• Farmer burns stomach flattener
• Stomach vacuum
• Regular plank
• Side planks
• Shifting endurance planks

LEGS that make chicks BEG

 

There’s a fine line between overtraining your legs and not training them hard enough. And not surprisingly, most of us fall into one of the two camps. First you have the guy who spends 45 minutes doing squats at the power rack before moving on to the rest of his hard-hitting, 90-minute quad workout. Then you have someone who thinks a suffi cient lower-body routine consists of a machine-only session in which he hardly breaks a sweat.

“Most guys don’t realize that their leg training should probably be more middle of the road,” says Hollywood-based trainer Gunnar Peterson, CSCS. “They either try to do a pro bodybuilder workout once a week and end up hobbled like James Caan in Misery or do a leg extension/curl combo every three days and think they’ve trained legs. But you really should find a middle ground between the two so you train your legs with decent intensity twice a week.

Following a split that has you train legs one day a week would cripple you with 20 sets at maximum weight and keep you from progressing the way you could.” Peterson has nothing against extensions and curls — in fact, he included them in the workout at right — but a solid leg routine needs to be centered around multijoint moves such as lunges, squats or step-ups. These exercises not only hit the quads and hamstrings but also the glutes, a bodypart seldom discussed among men unless it concerns those of the opposite sex. “The glutes are one of the biggest muscle groups in the body and to not train them is irresponsible,” Peterson says. “Read a women’s magazine — that’s the other team’s playbook. Women look at your glutes long before they notice your guns. Plus, training the glutes revs up your metabolism by stimulating such large muscles.”

All bodyparts should be trained from a variety of angles to maximize musclefiber recruitment. This advice becomes even more important with legs since your quads are composed of four different muscles, the hamstrings are made up of three and a slew of fibers “come in from the north, south, east and west” to form your glutes, Peterson says. “It’s not just about squatting and driving up,” he explains. “You can tweak your stance, and you can change where the load is by doing front squats, back squats and one-leg movements. A lot of people just do it by rote or don’t do it at all.”

The routine Peterson designed hits all the major leg musculature via traditional squatting moves performed in novel fashion. A good dose of core work is involved, too, and the reason is simple: You can’t build strong legs with intense workouts without a sturdy core, and many guys are weak in this area. “You’ve got to shore up the weakness,” Peterson says. “I know it doesn’t sound fun, but it’s crucial to maximizing the effectiveness of your workouts, regardless of what muscles you’re training.”

  

                 leg routine for men and women

Exercise 1 - leg extension
3 total sets, 3 drop-sets = 1 set

Start with a weight with which you hit failure around 12-15 reps, then reduce the weight by about 40% and try to complete another 12-15 reps. To finish the drop-set, lower the weight again by 40-50% and try to finish strong with 12-15 reps. Take a rest and repeat 2 more cycles for a total of 3 drop-sets. Once the last triple drop-set is complete return to the starting weight for partials, with no rest.

Exercise 2 - Dumbbell (shown with barbell)
3 sets to failure - As many reps until you hit failure

Use a close stance and put the dumbbells out in front as a counter-balance. Keep your back straight and drop into the hole, as if sitting upright in a chair, coming up only as high to cause constant tension. Rest pause is used until you reach complete failure.

Exercise 3 - Back squats
4 sets to failure

Elevate heels with plates for this movement. Push to failure using rest pause until complete failure. Repeat this for 4 sets using constant tension range of motion.

Exercise 4 - lunges \
3 sets to failure on each set.

  

Warm up with 5-10 minutes of light to moderate cardio and full body stretching.

FITNESS 101

Fitness, Nutrition and Exercise Resource

The key first step on the path to physical fitness is seeking information, followed by the decision to pursue a healthy lifestyle centered around physical fitness. This website is designed to share some of the knowledge that I have gained over the years from working out and trying to live a healthy lifestyle. This knowledge is key in allowing you to make smart decisions and to give you ideas on how to achieve your fitness goals. The decision to fully carry out a physical fitness program cannot be taken lightly. It requires a lifelong commitment of time and effort. As with any exercise or nutritional regimen, please check with a medical doctor and a certified nutritionist before you begin. 

Exercise must become an integral part of your life, something that you do without a second thought, like brushing your teeth. Unless you are convinced of the benefits of fitness and the risks of ignoring it, you will not succeed. You must also realize that you can't try to do too much too soon and must not quit before you have a chance to experience the rewards of improved fitness. Patience and hard work are key since you can't regain in a few days or weeks what you may have lost in years of sedentary living, but you can get it back if you persevere. The end result is worth the price. 

The second, equally important aspect to fitness and good health is nutrition. As the saying goes, "you are what you eat". But the area of nutrition can often seem complex, with many differing views on what constitutes good nutrition. Stroll through the fitness/health section of you local bookstore and you will be bombarded with hundreds of views on what constitutes as good nutrition. The same goes for magazines, newspapers and television. It took me years of tyring out these numerous fads and quick, guaranteed results to figure out that what you need with respect to nutrition is common sense. 

Most diets are simply trying to get you into a nice balanced nutritional regimen where you avoid processed , do no over eat and spread out your meals out throughout the day. There are of course exceptions like the Atkins, Zone, South Beach and Scarsdale diets. I have also found that professional, amateur, and weekend athletes are usually very food conscious. They usually take the time and effort in making sure they learn about the food they are consuming and knowing what it does for or against their bodies. 

Diet and Nutrition

The components of food that the body uses to sustain itself are known as nutrients. Nutrients can be divided into two broad categories; macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates , and fat), substantial quantities of which are required for energy and growth, and the micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), needed in small amounts for growth and to facilitate regular body functions. Though not necessarily regarded as nutrients, water and fiber are also essential parts of a healthy diet.

The human body has the ability to synthesize certain nutrients on its own. Those that cannot be produced atall or in sufficient quantity must be supplied by food and supplements. Such nutrients are known as essential nutrients. If you do not get enough of them in your diet, the body develops potentially harmful deficiencies. Foods vary in the amounts and types of nutrients they have. No single type of food provides all the nutrients required for good health. For peak nutrition, one has to consume a wide variety of foods. By the same token, foods lacking in certain nutrients can still be part of a balanced diet as long as other foods or supplements provide the body with the lacking nutrients.

When starting a fitness regimen, it is essential to also examine your diet. This means knowing what you eat and cutting down on things like sugar, soft drinks, processed foods, and snacks. The limitation of caffeine, alcohol, and cigarettes can also help promote health and fitness levels. After cleaning up the diet, it is also essential to figure out how much to eat. Determining the correct portion (serving) size is an important part of good nutrition. Just as important is keeping track of what you are eating and drinking.

A balanced diet with wholesome sources of protein, carbohydrates and fats should be sought. Protein is essential for our health as it facilitates growth and repair of muscle tissue. Its ideal sources include lean red meat, chicken, fish, dairy and. eggs, Carbohydrates are essential in providing energy and stimulating anabolic hormones, especially insulin. High fiber, fruits, vegetables and low glycemic sources of carbohydrates are preferred, staying away from the highly processed and sugar laden products. Fat is essential not only as a store of energy but also for its role in enabling various anabolic functions within the body. Unsaturated and essential fatty acid rich vegetable oils are the often recommended sources of fat.
