- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - An amazing technique that can make your gains skyrocket while others have reached a sticking point!
- If you clearly understand and apply the principles involved in natural bodybuilding, you will experience very rapid muscle gains. However, over a long term, eventually a 'sticking point' or plateau in your training may be reached. It is at this point in training that further muscle gains can sometimes appear almost impossible. Sticking points are almost always a direct result of overtraining. More...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - How to get the greatest possible muscle gains... and... still have time left over to just goof-off!
- The number one thing you need to get from this article is this. Significant increases in the muscular size of any particular muscle group, can not be achieved without similar increases throughout the entire body. Any and all exercise performed has an indirect effect on all the body's subsystems and muscular structures.An exercise which primarily involves the legs, produces to varying degree...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - How to avoid injury from poor exercise performance!

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - The secret of the perfect program!
- Another critical factor to be aware of, is the efficient use of time. If a routine is performed in approximately one hour, the muscle gains will be much less than if the exact same routine was performed in half and hour. This aspect is a "secret" to most. Time is one of the most effective ways to increase intensity of effort.When performing a workout, your breathing should be more...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - How these 3 basic elements can be used to boost your own muscle gains!
- The foolish idea that 'more is better' when it comes to bodybuilding goes directly against the basics of exercise science. When is comes to increasing your rate of muscle gains, more exercise is almost never what is needed. As I have mentioned already, once you have "stimulated" muscle gains by hitting the gym hard, any additional amount of exercise, will in fact, prevent any muscle gain...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - How to get incredible gains if you aren?t getting them already... and... how to get them fast!
- The key to rapid muscle growth, is to perform all your exercises well outside your comfort zone. If you had performed the barbell curl to the point of complete and momentary exhaustion, instead of "copping out" at the tenth. Then your bicep muscles would be forced to work harder than normal. Much harder. As a result, they would grow and build size rapidly.What matters here is not ...
