Nitrobol Review
Since ordering Nitrobol seven weeks ago I have gained about
20 pounds of straight muscle. I didn't think I could get
to this bodyweight. For a long time I was stuck at 165 but
today I am 186 and still growing. Everyone around me
things I am on the juice but when I show them the
Nitrobol bottle they want to know more.
Thanks for everything,
Lionel E. Pope II

Benefits of Chin Ups for Bodybuilding
Chin-ups for great gains
by Dwayne Hines
Do you perform chin-ups? If not, why not? The chin-up is a super
training tool. It builds both the biceps and the back, as well as
involving other muscle groups. The chin-up can also be performed in
a reverse grip manner to attack the brachialis muscles. The chin-up
is sometimes called a pull-up as it is totally a pulling movement.
If you want powerful biceps, you need to work the chin-up hard. One
trainer noted in a major publication that you have no business
performing weighted curls until you can do at least ten chin-ups. He
has a good point – weighted curls can be a crutch. If you can't pump
out some chin-ups, then what good are your curls doing you?
When you chin you move your body weight, so the more you weigh, the
better the chins benefit you. Chin-ups for a guy who weighs 220
pounds is a bigger challenge to the arms and back than it is for a
guy who weighs 175 pounds.
Chin-up form
One of the keys to getting the most out of chin-ups is to perform
them in good form. This translates into a full range of motion. Not
many people perform chin-ups and of those that do, many cheat. That
is, they don't go down all the way, and they don't go up all the way.
And as their repetition count rises, their form gets even worse.
What is good form? Good form is getting the chin all the way over the
bar. The chin-up is self explanatory – you have to get that chin up
and over the bar. It is a good target for every repetition. And the
down stroke? Go down so far that the arms are fully extended. If you
do it right, you can often feel your back open up.
What about mastering the chin-up? Once you can get a few sets with
double digit repetitions and do them in all in good form, you can add
weight via a weight belt. At this point the chin-up becomes very
challenging. However, the upside is very powerful biceps and back, so
start chinning today.
