A Full Circle Workout

Bob's Corner

Bring up the word “Muscle” and the first thoughts may trigger mention of biceps or abs. Rarely will the heart come to mind right off the bat. Fitness Clubs often, (unknowingly) draw us into a routine that may tone and build skeletal muscle but not always one that develops the most important muscle “the heart”.

Understanding proper aerobic minimums will be the first step as we attempt to integrate our goal of both outward physical improvements in shape and size, while also improving cardiovascular efficiency. Many feel a need to devise a system that allows for a specific time at the end of their routine for a session on a stationary bike or elliptical machine. If aerobic training in this fashion, is not your cup of tea, read on.

Complete Biceps Training

Bob's Corner

Walk into any Fitness club throughout the Country and you'll most likely see one or more members doing some sort of curl. Maybe dumbbell concentration, barbell curls, etc. Rarely do we see anyone working the muscle group located between the biceps and triceps, called “the brachialis muscles”.

Vitamin Storage...Not All The Same

Bob's Corner

Ignoring the vital vitamins needed to maintain a healthy body is surely asking for problems if weight training is expected to yield extended periods of improved conditioning, whether it be Bodybuilding, Power Lifting, or just overall body toning. Just popping a multi vitamin every day will not even come close to providing the needs of the body once weight training introduces it's own brand of stress.

Understanding a few basics on how we store specific vitamins in different ways, will help us keep the body fully engulfed in a complete supply of each and every vitamin. Water soluble vitamins must be replenished more often due to their inherent ability to exit the system each time we urinate. Perspiration also depletes specific vitamins at a faster rate than others.

Beginning Muscle Development and Pseudoscience

Bob's Corner

Pseudoscience is false science, unsubstantiated by facts. The claim is to be the real thing, but in reality, it's manipulative falsehood. Pseudo science manipulates the feeble minded through numerous fallacies and advertising schemes. People likely to fall prey to these lies are Newbies,.... individuals looking for an easy way out and those without a strong foundation in logic and true science.There are a multitude of dangers for individuals who fall prey to pseudo science. If they believe the false lies claimed by these deceivers, they will inevitably fall into a state of discouragement. For instance, hundreds of advertisements make bold claims such as, "I took [insert a supplement] and gained 50 pounds of muscle while losing fat, in 3 months". Or, "After using [insert a weight lifting machine] for 3 months, in combination with a proper diet, I was able to shed 30 pounds of fat, and achieve my goal of competing on stage". "Thank you [insert product's name]". "If I can do it, so can you". Surely the reader is familiar with this unscientific, false advertising. Now, the young weight trainer who falls prey to this may find him or herself, on the verge of quitting, soon after they discover gains will never come this easy. This sport is hard work, and if you are looking to become a pro or even a successful amateur in a short time, you‘re fooling yourself. There  are no easy ways and anyone who thinks otherwise, is in for a big disappointment. Satisfaction comes from long periods of hard work so enjoy the labor.
