To gain strength in forearms, just simply do your forearm
workout before you do other upper body workouts, so that
your forearms are already tired when you get to the other
workouts. This will burn the heck out of your forearms and
the results are huge.

For all you guys who complain of not having a back on par
with your chest, just do one simple thing. Pull-ups!! I
rarely see anyone besides myself doing these and they
work vastly better than the lat pulldown machine. At first
you won't be able to do too many, but set a goal of say 20
total, now it may take you 10 sets to reach this goal, but
eventually if you stay with it, you'll be doing 20 for your
first set! Do them with palms facing away from you so it
works less of the biceps and more of the back, just stay
dedicated and you'll get that V-shaped torso!

The most important,,never mind important,,this is
IMPERATIVE. You must do it, or you won't gain muscle
mass at all. EAT AT LEAST 2 GRAMS OF PROTEIN PER
POUND OF BODYWEIGHT! At least 2 grams of protein, 2.5
would be even better. A good friend of mine is a biochemist
and he said to me that it is totally possible to gain 2lbs of
muscle a week...naturally! He said to do this you would
have to consume an EXTRA 6000 calories a week, JUST
from protein sources. Let's say you weigh 150lbs, you
would consume your normal 150 grams of protein (1 gram
per lb of bodyweight) and add to that another 215 grams
of protein, for a total of at least 365 grams of protein per
day. Don't forget that you have to train Extra hard to
stimulate your body's anabolic hormones. Don't worry
about the myth that your body can only use 25-30 grams
of protein at a time, that's a buncha bull! If your
muscles are sore then your body is going to use up to a
100 grams of protein to fix them up again, it's just
common sense. EAT your protein and GROW! In the
past 5 1/2 weeks I went from ( I SWEAR TO GOD) 154lbs
to 172lbs. =) Train Hard,EAT YOUR PROTEIN, AND Grow.

Hello. Here is my fitness tip, it is probably more of a
reminder though. When doing any bench exercise for
chest remember to isolate those pectorals and try to keep
the deltoids out of the exercise. To be sure of this, lay
on the bench and push your shoulders back towards
the bench at the same time you are pushing your
shoulders down toward your butt. Also, elbow placement
is important, the closer your elbows are to your sides
the more you will be using your pectorals, and the
further from your sides the more you will be using your
deltoids. One more thing to get the pectoral isolated is
to imagine in your mind, and do it for real ... that you are
moving the attachment of the pectoral muscle (the upper
arm) toward the origin (middle of the chest) and squeeze.

Overtraining in Bodybuilding
By Dan Gallapoo
This is usually the biggest reason that most people are
not making gains.
Overtraining is every bodybuilder's nightmare. It is a
syndrome in which your body catabolizes it's lean muscle
as fuel due to putting too much a demand on your body.
Training too often, for too long causes your body to go
into a state of shock and store your food as energy and
use your muscles as food. Quite the opposite of what we
as bodybuilders want, huh?
Training while overtrained will cause you to grow weaker and get
smaller. Roughly translated, if you are not progressing, you may
need to take a rest. Most people think that if they are getting
weaker they aren't doing enough so they add in more sets or train
more often, putting them deeper and deeper into the overtraining
trap.
Signs and Symptoms of Overtraining:
1. A loss of appetite.
2. A lack of motivation to train.
3. Irritability.
4. Insomnia.
5. Unexplained strength loss.
If these symptoms apply to you, I advise you to take 2 to 3
weeks off for recovery and evaluate your training. Find out
where the problem lies, fix it, and get motivated for your new
workout!
