Advanced Killer Home Chest Workout

admin — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 16:50:31 +0000

Here is an advanced chest workout you can do at home with a cheap dumbbell set. Big gyms are nice but when you can get a killer workout at home without the overhead of getting to and from the gym. This workout is a complete 70 minute workout and consists of four supersets. superset 1: incline dumbbell press and flys superset 2: dumbbell press from the hip and thumbs up flys superset 3: incline flys and ultrawide pushups superset 4: pushups, flys, and dumbbell press We will do each superset three times and take 2-3 minutes rest between. Use a weight that lets you do 5-7 reps with good form. This is an intense workout and this is not meant to be used every week, just do this workout now and then to shake things up. By the way, I’m not a very original or creative person, I get all the ideas for my mock-infomercials from real-life ads – isnt that scary? I just assemble them in a way so that its clear how ridiculous the claims are. There are people, who shall remain nameless, who comment on my vids and claim results as ridiculous as PecFuel5000 – I’m sure these people are just acting as sales people for these scam companies. Remember, be a critical thinker. Never believe those anecdotal “amazing” results stories at the gym, in magazines, or on the internet. … and remember, your Grandma was always right. If it SOUNDS too good to be true, then it IS. Dont be a sucker. Demand real evidence before buying any fitness product/supplement/program. If it is as great as they say then …

Home workout: reverse curls exercise for a great pump

admin — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 13:52:05 +0000

scoobysworkshop.com Reverse curls are great to finish off your arm workout because they give you a great pump – brushing your teeth is tough after doing these! This exercise is done with the palms facing down instead of facing up like in a standard barbell curl, This exercise is much more difficult to do than a barbell curl so dont use a lot of weight, start with about 35% of what you can do with the palms up. These can be done using the preacher bench as shown here or from a standing position. I suggest doing these at the end of your arm workout when your biceps are good and weak, that way, even though the bicep is stronger than the forearm they are both worked out evenly. The muscle size increase in a pump is short lived, typically much less than an hour. A pump is not a sign of permanent growth, rather an indication that you have worked out hard and that bloodflow has increased to the muscle. Forearm exercises are tough on the elbows and we don’t want you getting tendonitis so only use the amount of weight that lets you use slow, controlled form. If you have any pains in your elbow region, see your doctor before doing these!Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn’t have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts. For …

Exercises for Weight Loss at Home

admin — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 00:54:46 +0000

Exercise is an important part of any weight loss regimen. But with busy schedules, we all want to know what exercise will help lose weight more quickly at home. Overall, there are two types of exercises: aerobic and strength training or anaerobic, and each contributes differently to weight loss. Aerobic exercise burns fat calories while you are involved in the exercise itself. Furthermore, strength training, mainly contributes to weight loss, helping to increase the speed of your resting metabolic rate, which is the number of calories your body burns while at rest. Actually increases your metabolic rate i. e. , burning more calories the more muscle your body is because it has much more energy to maintain muscle than it does to keep fat. Important: remember that muscle weighs more than fat, so some strength training exercises will make you more healthy and attractive, though not necessarily contribute to weight loss. But the muscles are a species of good weight and you should try to build more muscle to help keep body fat at bay. Here are tips for exercise – aerobic and strength training – you can do at home to lose weight quickly. Tip # 1: Squats: the buttocks and leg muscles are the largest muscles in your body. Every day in front of the mirror, put your feet at shoulder width, while forward and crouch and 10-20 times for 2 or 3 sets. This will build your leg and buttock muscles. As you build strength, try holding 2 or 5 pound dumbbells in your hands while you work out. Make sure you warm up first, and stop if you notice any sharp pain in the knees. Tip # 2: Pushups : Pushups are a form of strength training: during a pushup arms that support up to 70% of their body weight. The sets of 2 or 3 of 20 pushups to build arm strength and increase your RMR. Tip # 3: Jumping jacks : Jumping jacks are an excellent exercise for whole-body aerobic you can do at home. Of 4 or 5 sets of 20 jumping jacks, or as needed. Tip : If you live in an apartment or stay in an upstairs bedroom, be considerate of your neighbors, go out or making them a first- story room. Tip # 4: Fast walking: While walking in itself is a great aerobic exercise, brisk walking is even better to burn fat. Make sure you really stretch first and warm with regular walking. When you start your walk faster pace, trying to keep the speed as much as possible while you can. If you are tired, try doing intervals of fast walking followed by short periods of slower walking. Tip # 5: Reinforcement: Reinforcement is a great way to get your heart pumping and burn calories. You can use your stairs at home, but for best results, I suggest buying carpets specialized stackable step and stack them until at least 15 inches (38 cm). Do 2-3 sets of 20 steps each to begin. Even though you may not feel as reinforcement is helping, it is! This exercise will not only help you lose weight but will also help shape your buttocks and legs. An important element in a strategy to lose weight quickly at home is to do a combination of exercises that build muscles ( strength training ) while burning fat ( aerobic exercises). Start a system of majority or all of these exercises 2-3 days / week and see the unhealthy fat is melted.

Use these Forced Rep Techniques at Home to Get Stronger and Bigger

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 08:55:40 +0000

Muscles get stronger and bigger when we challenge our muscles. And that only happens when we do more than we are capable of. But pushing ourselves to muscle failure can be difficult, if not dangerous when working out at home.

So, for those of us seeking to strengthen our bodies at home, I have a few suggestions on how to push our bodies past the failure point.

1. Chest – After you struggle up your last rep at 8 or 9, do not risk injury attempting another rep. Instead, rack the barbell, jump forward into an elevated pushup position. Now, you can gut out as many reps as you can. When you can do no more, then drop your feet to ground and do a few more. When you reach failure, I guarantee you will have reach failure.

2. Back – Do your pull-ups with a chair right behind you. When you can pull no more, you simply put your feet on the chair behind you and use your legs to help get a few more reps until even that are no longer possible.

3. Shoulders – Let’s assume you have a barbell and a set of dumbbells at home. As an example, whatever your max poundage for military press is, set up your dumbbells at half. So, if you are going to max out at 100lbs, then set up a pair of 25lb dumbbells. When you reach your max limit at 7 or 9 reps, drop the barbell and grab the dumbbells. You guessed it, immediately go for broke with the dumbbells until your delts burn and burn.

4. Biceps – Whether with the barbell or dumbbell curls, when you reach max; you simply lower the weight to the floor. You take a big breath, immediately stand up, and curl a few more reps. Repeat this cycle, until you cannot budge the weights.

5. Triceps – Regardless of what triceps exercise you do, as soon as you reach positive failure; drop to the floor and assume a diamond pushup position. You get into this position by touching your thumbs and index fingers to form a diamond right below your chest. Now, you do as many pushups as you can.

When you train to muscle failure, I want you to keep a few points in mind:

1. You need only go to failure on your last set of an exercise. Start with a warm-up weight and pyramid down to your max weight (no more than 3 or 4 sets total). 2. The follow on exercises like pushups should not go on forever. If you struggled on the last rep with the weights, these techniques will allow you to do a few more reps. If you can do more, then you did not get to the last rep with the weights.

3. The biggest challenge to training to failure is not injuring yourself. Be careful.

That said going to failure is the only way you will get stronger, so use these techniques at home to push yourself past your limits.
