Is The Scale LYING To You? How To Analyze Weight Gain Or Loss…

By Jeff Anderson
http://combatyourownfat.com

How do you know if your current weight loss or muscle-building program is working or not?

This is a question I get a lot by men and women using my weight loss program, “Combat The Fat” or any of my natural bodybuilding programs.

Well, most guys and gals use a combination of the mirror and the scale. However, both of these methods can be deceiving to say the least.

The mirror often shows us exactly what we want to see (“Man! Just look at the size of my chest after only ONE WORKOUT!”)

And those ups or downs you see on the scale may mean gains in FAT, or even worse….loss of MUSCLE!

So how CAN you determine your progress?

If you really want to know if your gains and losses are muscle or fat, there’s a simple formula you can use. Don’t worry…you won’t have to break out your old algebra books for this one.

Just follow along step-by-step…Step 1: Step on the scale.

You need a baseline measurement of your weight for figuring out the rest of the formula.

Step 2: Measure your bodyfat.

While there are several ways to accomplish this, one of the easiest and least expensive ways is to use a bodyfat caliper. Nowadays, you can pick up one up for around $20 that will do the trick. Follow the instructions with the device to determine the ratio of lean weight to fat in your body.

Step 3: Multiply your weight by your measured bodyfat percentage to find out how much fat you’re lugging around. Record your answer for future measurements

Example: 185 lbs. X 17.5% (or .175) = 32.4 lbs of fat

Step 4: Subtract the amount of fat (in pounds) from your original bodyweight in Step 1.

Example: 185 lbs. (original weight) – 32.4 lbs (of fat) = 152.6 lbs lean weight

This calculation WILL tell you how much LEAN WEIGHT you’re currently carrying. However, this first measurement will NOT tell you how much muscle you have since your lean weight is also made up of bones, organs, hair, etc.

What it DOES give you is your baseline measurement to compare with future measurements since any gains you make in LEAN bodyweight should only come from MUSCLE.

Step 5: Perform Steps 1-4 again approximately 3-6 weeks later. Then compare your results with your previous reading.

Example: Let’s say your first measurements were…

Weight – 187 lbs
Bodyfat % Reading – 17.5%

187 x 17.5% = about 32.7 lbs of fat
187 – 32.7 = 154.3 lbs lean bodyweight

Now, for your second measurements you get…

Weight – 190 lbs
Bodyfat % Reading – 16%

190 x 16% = about 30.4 lbs of fat
190 – 30.4 = 159.6 lbs of lean bodyweight

If you now compare your second readings with your first, you can see that…

You’ve GAINED 5.3 lbs of muscle (from 154.3 lbs lean in first reading to 159.6 in the second); and…

…You’ve LOST 2.3 lbs of fat (from 32.7 lbs of fat in first reading to 30.4 lbs in the second).

Short of breaking out the slide rule from my pocket protector, this is the easiest way I can teach you how to determine if your current program is helping you meet your goals. Just use this formula at regular intervals in your program (every 3 or 6 weeks is recommended) and you won’t have any problems.

Bodybuilding Training Tip For More Growth Hormone Release

Bodybuilding Training Tip For More Growth Hormone Release

By: Jeff Anderson
http://combatyourownfat.com

More growth hormone (GH) = more MUSCLE, right?

It's a known fact that anyone looking to build more muscle mass must address your body's natural "hormone factory" to see some real gains in size.

But different hormones are stimulated in different ways.

Here's a cool (and SIMPLE!) "Quick Tip" to add to your next workout to raise GH naturally and kick start some KILLER MASS…

=============================
"Quick Tip" For Skyrocketing GH..
=============================

On your very LAST SET of each exercise, when you know that you have 2 REPS left in you…

…DON'T take them!

Instead, bring the weight to the PEAK CONTRACTION POINT or "flexed" position (e.g.- for bicep curls, it would be the "up" position) and hold the weight while flexing your targeted muscle.

Your goal is to hold this flexing for 20 SECONDS (called "static contraction) before slowly letting the weight down.

This is going to burn like HELL…

…and that's EXACTLY what you're looking for!

=============================
Why This Works…
=============================

That "burn" you feel is your body's natural "lactic acid response".

When lactic acid is triggered in the body, it sends a signal to your endocrine system to release growth hormone as a "recovery aid".

And that GH release is a powerful mass-building chemical in your body and your gains will SOAR!

Note: Do this for no more than 1 EXERCISE per body part in your workouts for 1 WEEK. Skip a week before doing it again.

=============================
Special Consideration For…
=============================

…if you're using my Advanced Mass Building program ,then give this method a try in WEEK 3 of your mass-building cycle.

In other words, instead of the insane "DSP" technique I teach you, give this method a try instead to change this up a bit.

Go for it…and feel the burn!

A Quick Tip For Bigger PUMPS…

A "Quick Tip" For Bigger PUMPS…

By Jeff Anderson
http://combatyourownfat.com

Those of us who eat 45lb iron plates for breakfast LIVE for that awesome "pumped up" feeling you get after an intense set of bicep curls, right?

That muscle "pump" is the result of a naturally occurring molecule, nitric oxide (abbreviated "NO"), that dilates blood vessels, increasing blood flow throughout your body.

Bottom line…

…the more nitric oxide you have in your body, the more of a "pump" you'll get from your curls, flyes, presses, etc.

(And yes…the "pump" DOES help increase muscle size as over time by promoting capillary expansion, increasing blood pathway size, and increasing nutrient update.)

So how can you increase your natural levels of nitric oxide for a better pump?

=====================================

How To Increase Nitric Oxide NATURALLY…

=====================================

About 30-45 minutes BEFORE your workout…

…eat an ORANGE!

Oranges are high in VITAMIN C which are a potent "protector" of nitric oxide levels in your body, thereby making more available during your workouts.

Then, in your post-workout protein shake, throw in ANOTHER orange (preferred) or pour in about 1 cup of natural orange juice.

This double shot of vitamin C will pack a powerful pump punch that will have you feeling good…and looking good!

=====================================

Here's My Favorite Post-Workout Smoothie…

=====================================

In a blender, combine:

=> 1 cup of fat free plain yogurt
=> 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla soy milk
=> 1/4 cup raw honey
=> 1 whole orange or 1 cup natural orange juice
=> 5 frozen strawberries
=> 1/2 frozen banana
=> 2 Tbsp canola or flax oil
=> 2 scoops vanilla whey protein isolate powder

Blend…chug…BUILD!

your PECS will be dialing 9-1-1 after this…

By Jeff Anderson
http://www.combatyourownfat.com

When was the last time you really had that "chest poke pain"

You know…like when 24 hours after your chest workout, you can’t
stop poking your pecs with your finger to marvel at how much it
hurts?

Yeah, it’s a secret pleasure of mine too! (ha ha!)

If it’s been a while, then here’s a "Quick Tip" I did last week
that will have YOU pokin’ away by tomorrow evening:

=====================================

"Quick Tip" For Pec-Poking Pain…

=====================================

(Warning to "skimmers": This will LOOK like a simple, giant
"tri-set", but there are a few twists so READ EACH STEP!)

1. First, you’re going to be using the bench press for this
exercise (your favorite, right ?

2. Choose a weight that you can do for about 12 reps before hitting
failure BUT (and this is IMPORTANT!) load up the bar with either
10lb or 25lb plates so that you can quickly take off 50% of what
you have loaded on each side.

(Sure, you’ll look like a whuss! But ARE you? Hell no…so "grab
‘em" like you got a pair and don’t give a sh*t what the other guys
think!

3. Now, do a traditional set on the bench press until you reach
full muscular failure.

4. As soon as you rack the weight, jump up and strip 50% off each
side.

5. NEXT…with no rest, grab the bar with a WIDE, WIDE grip (up to
12 inches past your shoulders) and knock out your reps to failure.

=====================================

Side Note: This works by really taking your burned out triceps out
of the picture as much as possible and give you a WICKED PUMP in
your chest!

Read on…

=====================================

6. LASTLY…as soon as you hit failure and rack the weight, with no
rest, grab a dumbbell (just about 30-50 lbs will do nicely) and do
a set of Dumbell Pullovers, keeping your arms VERY, VERY STRAIGHT
(to take your triceps out of the movement even more) and feel a
good stretch in your chest at the bottom.

This will allow you to really burn out your Type 1 muscle fibers
for a serious Growth Hormone response and a massive pump!

Once you hit failure, give yourself a good 2-3 minute rest to
recover and run through this giant set one more time.

That will give you 6 total "chest sets" and the next day all your
co-workers will be wondering why you keep poking your chest and
wincing!

Enjoy !

Combat The Fat Review

Combat The Fat Review
http://combatyourownfat.com
By Sarah Hougen cpt

The title alone makes you think of battle, right? Well that’s because the author is a former army sergeant in the US Army! (As in “duh” … how else would he phrase it but combat the fat?)

Although the title may scare some of you, or at least make you a little apprehensive, I can assure you, there is no high wall to scramble over, no mud-pit to jump, no crawling under barbed wire with live bullets singing around your ears. Promise!

This is a … how shall I put it, friendly battle? Not quite, because you will be engaging in a serious battle against your excess bodyfat, and guess what: you’ll be the victor!

When Jeff “The Muscle Nerd” Anderson launched his program, he also launched a challenge, and more or less dared Lewis and I to join. I was game from day 1, Lewis was a little more hesitant at first, but we both jumped in.

You don’t get an actual meal plan, just nutritional guidelines; there is no calculating or measuring or weighing – the soldiers just have to take what’s available to them, so it makes sense to learn simply what to do with what you have in front of you, be that at a buffet, on a restaurant menu or at a friend/family meal; heck, even faced with your own kitchen’s content sometimes.

As far as the workouts, I’ll willingly admit they look a little intimidating at first; however, once you dive in and just follow orders, they’re not that complicated at all. Most are bodyweight exercises, some dumbbells may be required, or if you have a gym membership you can also use certain machines and/or free weights.

There are different levels of “hardship” each with their own sub-levels. This makes it easy to find your perfect workout, as well as progress as the weeks go by. Beginner Level is 1, 2 or 3; you then go on to Novice which is split into 3 sub-levels as well, the lowest (1) being a little harder than Beginner 3; and the Advanced is the same 1, 2 and 3 sub-levels as well.

Lewis has stuck with this workout program ever since March 2008; that’s how much he enjoys it (we are now mid-July 2009). I enjoyed it while I did the challenge, and we both dropped a fair amount of excess fat by following Jeff’s drills. In fact, you can judge for yourself right here:

Not only did we burn that fat off, combating the ugly and unhealthy stuff; but we’ve both kept it off – in fact, I’ve burned off even more since the end of the challenge.

It’s fun, simple to follow, hard enough to hurt in a good way, and different from most programs. Grab your copy right here: www.combatyourownfat.com

A “Quick Tip” For Leaner Abs.

lewis — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 21:42:53 +0000

- AtoZfitness Special Announcement -

A "Quick Tip" For Leaner Abs.

You know I’m always on the lookout for the most advanced health and wellness secrets to share with my readers of AtoZfitness.com , well this just came in my inbox from my buddy Jeff Anderson.

Here is what he said ….

I’m warning you Lewis…

…I have NO SCIENTIFIC PROOF that the "quick tip" I’m about to
share with you really works!

But I can tell you that I’ve experienced some pretty freaky stuff
in my lifetime and I believe this works.

To start, let me bring you back to a sub-zero day in upstate New
York when I was in the Army…

We were out in the field, freezing our asses off for a full week in
the snow and one day was especially cold.

Guys were getting frostbite left and right but we were hardcore so
our Commander wouldn’t stop our training exercise.

I remember thinking, "Holy $&%#! I’m gonna DIE out there!"
(Waaaaaaaaah!

=====================================
But then I had a crazy idea…
=====================================

I decided to "think" myself warm!

Yeah, sounds all "Jedi Mind Trick-ish", I realize that.

But it WORKED!

Within about 5 minutes, I was so warm I actually had to take off a
layer of clothing!

The point is, I’m a FIRM believer in "mind over body"!

=====================================
So here’s how to use this to BURN MORE FAT…
=====================================

When I’m really looking to trim down my waist, I actually
"communicate" with my abs to get them to give me a hand.

Here’s how I do it…

First, on my cardio days, I do 3 SETS of hardcore abs exercises
(hanging knee raises with only 1 minute rest in between).

=====================================
BTW – I’ve found that this works best during Day 2 and 4 of my
Combat The Fat workouts ( www.combatyourownfat.com ) as I’m better
able to use the next step…
=====================================

NEXT…I get on the treadmill for my first cardio cycle.

Only what I’ve done is "tell" my body WHERE I want it to focus it’s
primary fat-burning efforts.

With my abs "activated" from the initial 3 sets, I’m more "aware"
of them and can keep my mind’s focus on them while "telling" my
body to start melting that blubber that’s covering them.

Don’t believe me that this works?

Hey, I don’t blame you!

But I DID warn you that it was a bit freaky, didn’t I
Lewis

Anyway, give it a try next time you’re doing any cardio and see if
you can’t "bring your mind and your abs together as one, young
Jedi".

Have a great week Lewis!

Your "Champion For The Average Joe & Jane"

The "Muscle Nerd"
Jeff Anderson

*************************************

P.S. – If you’re using "Combat The Fat" (www.combatyourownfat.com), then I wouldn’t necessarily try this during your "CTF Pyramid" workouts. It’s harder to focus your mind on your abs as you’re doing your other bodyweight exercises.

But you may be a more advanced Jedi than I am!

Great new Free e-book download Supplement Review Guide.

lewis — Wed, 27 May 2009 12:13:12 +0000

I just got my hands on a copy of Jeff Anderson’s brand new Free supplement review guide.

Here is a short introduction to Jeff’s new f.ree e-book.

One of the most common questions I?m asked by those who have read my books or hundreds of articles, is…

"Do you REALLY need supplements to build muscle and burn body fat?"

Those that know my work understand that I have a real "love-hate" relationship with supplements.

You see, it IS true that you can achieve great results without the use of supplements, the REAL truth is that you can achieve BETTER and FASTER RESULTS….

… but ONLY if you do it right!

Supplements AREN’T about picking up a bottle of fancy-schmancy, hyped up glamour pills and expecting fantastic results.

The supplements you pick, when you use them, and the amounts you ingest will all influence the effectiveness of your program, and all of that will impact your financial justifications as well.

But thanks to hyped up marketing of the "power" of supplements to magically

build muscle and blast away body fat, the average consumer?s mind has been programmed that the path to a better body lies in the form of the latest cutting edge "breakthrough" supplement.

When frustration after frustration takes its toll on the high expectations of seeing some significant results like those of the steroid-fueled pro that graced the supplement ad, it?s no wonder guys turn to dangerous steroids and other cocktails in an effort to achieve super-human bodies.

In the end, focusing on a soundly developed core supplement program, instead of relying on steroids and other drugs to build your physique or burn away body fat, will serve you MUCH better.

And that?s the purpose of this Custom Supplement Program Design guide…

In these pages, I outline my 7-Step Process for creating your own custom-designed supplementation program that will fully support whatever your fitness goals, allowing you to achieve maximum results while saving you time, frustration, and money!

I hope it will remove some of the ?mystery? that intentionally clouds the average consumer?s supplement choices and provides you with a step-by-step approach to taking you training (and RESULTS) to the next level.

So let?s begin, shall we?

A Shocking Protein Supplement Discovery!

A Shocking Protein Supplement Discovery!
By The Muscle Nerd, Jeff Anderson
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Which protein works best at building muscle? The answer will SHOCK YOU!

If you follow popular bodybuilding advice you've probably heard that different types of protein powders are consumed at different times for different reasons.

For example, "Casein Protein" (a very slow digesting protein) isn't as bio-available to your muscle.

But because casein forms a solid "clot" in your stomach, it's digested and absorbed very slowly, reportedly helping to prevent muscle breakdown over a longer period of time.

This is said to be especially effective for "hard gainers" whose metabolism may shoot right through more powerful proteins.

On the flip side, powders like "Whey Protein Isolate" are easily soaked up by your muscles but are said to best be used for times immediately after your workout.

The advantage is that you fast track the aminos to your muscles...downside has always been that it doesn't "last" as long in your body and leaves your muscles "high and dry" unless you constantly refill your body's amino acid reserves.

Well, it may be time to forget EVERYTHING you've been told!

The absolute highest bio-available protein is "Whey protein hydrolysate" and it's like crack cocaine to your muscles because it's digested and absorbed faster than any other protein source.

For 99.9% of the "experts" out there, that would mean you should ONLY use it IMMEDIATELY after your workout.

But a study out of the Copenhagen (Denmark) Muscle Research Center may reveal a shocking insight...

Researchers discovered that out of all of the proteins, whey protein hydrolysate not only had the highest availability of amino acids (meaning your body uses more of what you ingest)...

...but it ALSO had the highest availability of amino acids during the entire 3 HOURS after consumption!

That would make whey hydrolysate the KING of all proteins when it comes to muscle building!

Now, I've recently been experimenting with this new discovery.

Specifically, I've been working on my own "homemade" formula for an upcoming update to my popular program "Homemade Supplement Secrets" (www.HomemadeSupplements.com)

Here's what I've found from my current experiments:

1. My muscle growth has increased by about 20% while only using hydrolysate 3 times a day when compared with the same 6-week mass-gaining cycle using casein protein.

(Note: I was using my Optimum Anabolics program for this test (www.OptimumAnabolics.com) and based it upon a 3-week "Progressive Load Cycle" followed by a 3-week "Hyper-Adaptive" cycle)

2. The whey hydrolysate powder is a bit more expensive than casein and WAY more expensive than concentrate or isolate.

(I bought 25 lbs for $239 at allthewhey.com compared with $151 for whey concentrate)

3. The powder "cakes up" much more in protein drinks and tastes almost like "plastic"..."2 Stars" on the flavor rating.

The Muscle Nerd Analysis?

20% could mean a lot more muscle for you, especially if you're a more advanced lifter and have to fight to push your genetics further and further.

If that's YOU, then you may want to test your own results with hydrolysate.

But for value, or if you're not as serious a lifter, I'd say stick with whey protein isolate as it has excellent bioavailability and works well for 95% of the "Average Joe's" out there.

Idiotic Mistakes Using Superset Training To Build Muscle!

Idiotic Mistakes Using Superset Training To Build Muscle!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
By Jeff Anderson "The Muscle Nerd"
http://www.atozfitness.com/recommends/advancedmassbuilding.html

By now you should know that "superset" training is the best training method for any fitness goal, whether you want to build muscle or burn fat.

Unfortunately, I see WAAAAAY too many people using this technique incorrectly...and it's time to set the record straight!

By now you should know that "superset" training (where you perform one exercise back-to-back with another exercise) is NOT just an "advanced" training technique for the gym.

It's actually the best training method for any fitness goal, whether you want to build muscle or burn fat.

Unfortunately, I see WAAAAAY too many people using this technique incorrectly...and it's time to set the record straight!

Here's the deal...

Your muscles have 7 "types" of fibers which can be broken down into 2 "main" types (fast-twitch and slow-twitch)

And each set of fibers has it's own purpose...AND it's own preference for how it likes to be trained.

Depending upon your goal, you'll want to train a bit differently.

You see, slow-twitch muscles are used mostly for endurance activities and prefer to be trained with lower weights and higher repetitions.

On the other hand, your fast-twitch muscles are the ones you use for strength and power and like heavy weights with lower reps.

But since both types have the ability to grow, you'll want to attack BOTH in your workouts.

That means higher reps and lower weights for your slow-twitch muscles and lower reps and higher weight for your fast-twitch muscles.

Here's an example of how to train your chest for size...

(And then I have a little "suprise" that blows any method you've EVER seen out of the water!

But first...

Superset For Bigger Muscles

Exercises Used:

Superset Incline Dumbbell Press with Pushups

Execution:

With an incline bench at about 30 degrees, knock out a HEAVY set of about 4-6 reps.

Then IMMEDIATELY after you're done, get on the floor and do as many pushups as you can do before crashing to the ground in a pile of your own drool!

Here's why it works...

By hitting your muscles with that heavy compound exercise set first, you blast away at your fast-twitch fibers.

But then you come in and really destroy your "slow-twitchers" by extending your set with a massive "pump" that fills your chest up with blood and muscle-building hormones and nutrients!

=========================================

Now last year I released a 3-DVD set that shows what it REALLY
takes to survive a violent attack.

I actually flew out to the UK to work with a buddy of mine, Richie,
who worked some of the toughest doors as a bouncer you'd ever seen.

In fact, one night he ended up destroying an obnoxious a-hole who
turned out to be the son of a mafia member and he had to leave the
country for a spell!

Anyway, in these 3 DVD's, Richie and I do something that NO ONE has ever done in the "self defense" world before.

We actually take video clips of REAL FIGHTS caught on tape and
analyze them so you see EXACTLY why someone was beaten...

...and then we show you real, SIMPLE yet POWERFUL techniques you
could use if it were YOU in that same fight!

It doesn't even matter if you've NEVER been in a single fight
before in your life...EVER!

These are techniques that DON'T rely on your size or strength or if
you're a man or a woman.

And we cover topics like...

---> Unarmed Self Defense

---> Multiple Attackers

---> Defense Against A Knife

---> "Survival Mind Set"

---> And the list goes on!

Here's a link to go LOOK at the website (but DON'T buy the DVD's
just yet!):

http://www.atozfitness.com/recommends/selfdefense.html <- Look but DON'T BUY!

(Important: Do NOT buy the DVD's until you see my special message
for you down below!)

=========================================
So what does this have to do with YOU?
=========================================

Well, the DVD's were sold in all the "guy magazines" and we sold
out of all 1,000 copies in no time.

Since then, Richie and I had decided to limit the number we've
produced because we only planned on giving them to the most SERIOUS
people in this area of interest.

In other words, these DVD's are NOT available to the general public
any longer...only to CURRENT CLIENTS!

Well some of you remember that late last year I ordered a box of
just 100 copies to offer to my "fitness subscribers" at a deep
discount.

Bottom line, all 100 copies sold out in just a few days!

You guys are CRAZY for this stuff, aren't you?

I mean, I CONTINUE to get emails sent to us BEGGING to put the
DVD's out again because so many missed the last offer we made.

And frankly, these DVD's AREN'T cheap to produce!

These are real quality copies!

But so many of you have asked, that I've ordered another box of
these 3 DVD sets...

...and for the next 3 days, I'm going to honor my previous discount
price once again.

=========================================
But there are a FEW "catches"...
=========================================

1.) As usual...once the 100 copies are gone, they're gone!

2.) In order to get my special discount, you MUST enter in a
special coupon code.

Here's the deal...

These DVD's have sold for up to $117 for the entire program.

For the next 3 days, I lowered the amount to just $97 for the
"general public".

But YOU are NOT the "general public"! You're my trusted client!

So for YOU, I want you to use this special coupon where you'll get
all 3 DVD's for just $67!

=========================================
Here's how to use the Coupon Code:
=========================================

Ok, NOW you can go to http://www.atozfitness.com/recommends/selfdefense.html <- Click Now

You'll see the current promotion for the DVD's at $97.

BUT...if you choose to order, when you get to the page where you
enter your information, you'll see a field that says "Enter Coupon
Code:"

In that field, enter "RFRD100" (without the quotes) and then click
on "Apply Coupon".

You'll see the amount updated to show my special offer price of
just $67.

=========================================
IMPORTANT: You MUST use the code "RFRD100"
to get the discount!
=========================================

Please don't wait on this Lewis!

I have to order these DVD's 100 at a time and they're expensive so
I can't accommodate the few of you who "missed the promo" and want
to order just one.

When these 100 are gone, they're all gone...and there's no
guarantee they'll be available again.

I'm just being straight up honest with you Lewis!

So go and check out the DVD's now at

http://www.atozfitness.com/recommends/selfdefense.html<- Click Now

...and enter the coupon code "RFRD100" on the checkout page to take
advantage of this offer, ok?

Enjoy!

He SHOCKED His Friends With His Chest Building SECRET!

He SHOCKED His Friends With His Chest Building SECRET!"
By Jeff "Commander" Anderson
http://combatyourownfat.com

Just got this from my Commander Jeff

This week I was talking with one of my "Inner Circle" coaching
clients, Justin, from my "Combat The Fat" weight loss program
http://combatyourownfat.com

You see, each month I open up my PERSONAL phone line to talk 1-on-1 with my "CTF Soldiers" to help them fine-tune their body
transformation efforts.

Justin was telling me about how people he knows have been coming up to him and commenting on how great he looks.

Specifically, they’ve been noticing that his CHEST has been getting more muscular even as he’s burned fat.

And of course their question is…

…"How much can you BENCH?"

And Justin’s response SHOCKS them…

…"I don’t know. I’ve just been doing PUSHUPS for the past 6
months!"

"Pushups?!"

Yeah…that’s right…PUSHUPS!

One of his friends even had the nerve to tell him there was NOW WAY pushups could outperform the Bench Press for chest development.

Why?

Because (he says), "If it did, football players would be doing
pushups instead of the Bench Press"!

Can you believe that?

Ok, first…football players DO use pushups in their training and
for the much the same reasons I use them in "Combat The Fat".

Football players (the ones who actually have to run up the field)
need to be as LEAN and in shape as possible.

In fact, I’ve worked with getting some football players in shape
for tryouts and the increase in their field performance SOARED once I forced them out of that "weight room-only" focus and into doing "old school" pushups, pullups, and other bodyweight exercises.

Look Lewis…DON’T get caught up in that same idiotic thinking that Justin’s friend did.

When it comes to building muscle and burning fat, bodyweight
exercises RULE!

In fact, this coming Monday, I’m going to be interviewing a good
buddy of mine on how to take advantage of the entire "Old School" package…training, nutrition, you name it.

You can even join me for free if you’re a member of my "Underground Bodybuilding Tips" membership site!

(You’ll find all the details in the members’ area.)

Anyway, take a look at your own training program and see where you can add various bodyweight exercises to throw your body a
curveball…and get some GREAT RESULTS!

Free report – 5 Mass Building Mistakes…And How To INSTANTLY Correct Them For Thick New Growth

lewis — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 07:00:51 +0000

Remember when you FIRST started "lifting" and you could practically watch the muscle grow as you stared into your bathroom mirror?

Ahhhhhh…those were the days, eh?

But like most people, those gains slowed down after a while and probably came to a CRASHING HALT at some point, right?

And of course, the bodybuilding magazines told you to "work harder" as they gave you a "plateau buster" workout that only REALLY works for "steroid-juiced" pro’s!

It may have worked a tiny bit, but then you were right back where you started again!

Well, I have the solutions for you and I’m going to reveal them right NOW in these…

"5 Mass Building Mistakes…And How To INSTANTLY Correct Them For Thick New Growth"

http://combatyourownfat.com

1.) How to EAT to build mass…based upon your SPECIFIC “BODY TYPE”!

(One-size-fits-all nutrition plans are for “newbies”!

Do you know the exact changes YOU need to make if you’re either a skinny Ectomorph, or “chubby” Endo?

2.) Which training frequency has been scientifically PROVEN to work better for building muscle: 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-DAY training routines?

(Hint: No matter how you answer, you’ll only be HALF RIGHT! I’ll fill you in on the OTHER HALF and why it’s one of the KEY GROWTH FACTORS if your goal is to really pack on some serious size.)

3.) The PROPER way to "cycle" your training to ELIMINATE no-growth "plateaus" once and for all!

4.) How the TIME OF DAY affects your ability to grow muscle (and the 2 EXACT TIMES you should target to pack on some insane mass!)

How to EASILY burn 2-4 lbs EVERY WEEK in ’09…

lewis — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 12:40:25 +0000

Yeah, I know …

When you’ve tried and failed so many times to take off the extra weight, promising you’ll lose 2-4 lbs every week seems like a fairy tale, right?

Well, let me take it one step further…

I’m gonna show you how to take it off…and then KEEP it off for good!

I can say it because I’ve DONE it in 2008!

You may remember last year when I wrote you to tell you how my age, my work, and my eating had “taken over” my body and one day I looked in the mirror and was SHOCKED at how I’d let myself go.

ME! The owner of a fitness WEBSITE!

I guess my point is that gaining “unexpected” weight can happen to ANYONE if you’re not paying attention.

To be honest, I wasn’t looking forward to taking off the weight. I frankly don’t have a lot of time in my day to workout like a madman and I enjoy food WAY too much.

And then I realized that I had fallen into the same trap everyone else does…

…thinking that “losing weight” has to be a horrible, long, boring, path of SUFFERING!

The fact is (and ** PLEASE pay close attention to this! **)…

…losing weight can actually be a SIMPLE and ENJOYABLE process…IF you know a few “shortcuts”!

Here are some of the secrets I learned as I stripped off 35 POUNDS of body fat in just 12 WEEKS in 2008 (AND…KEPT IT OFF all year long!)…

>> I STOPPED “Dieting”

That’s right…I gave up on “dieting” a long time ago once I realized that just SAYING the word “diet” brought about all kinds of negative emotions.

And besides…the answer ISN’T to deprive yourself of the foods you love. It’s just a matter of learning how to eat them “smarter”!

For example, I LOVE peanut butter. Whenever I’ve tried to give it up on the past, I would end up craving it so much that I’d go on an all-out scarf-n-barf binge of it…and then beat myself up with guilt for “failing” once again.

But now, I actually ENJOY eating peanut butter and I eat it right after my strength training workouts when my body actually NEEDS the extra sugar to help my muscles recover!

>> I STOPPED “Counting Calories

This is one of the most misunderstood weight loss “myths” that people just don’t get.

We know that if you have a “calorie deficit” of about 3,500 calories, then that is equal to one pound of body fat, right?

The problem is that you can’t simply break out a calculator and add up the numbers on the food box. Food is actually “thermogenic”, meaning that you BURN calories just by eating food – and different foods burn calories at different rates!

So the only way to truly “count calories” is to take into account the thermogenic effect of all of your food…in other words…it’s IMPOSSIBLE!

What to do instead? Count “servings” of different types of food!

For example, for your day’s meals, you may take in 6 servings of protein, 3 servings of “good fat”, and 4 servings of carbohydrates.

When you look at your food as individual “servings”, then it makes eating to lose weight so amazingly simple, you’ll wonder why anyone EVER “counts calories”.

>> I had a PLAN!

This is THE most powerful tip I can give you so LISTEN CAREFULLY!

“Weight loss tips” you find in a magazine or newsletter are fine. But they’re just that…”TIPS”!

Taken individually, “tips” may help you burn a bit of fat here and there. But if you’re really looking to take off the extra pounds FAST and PERMANENTLY, then you need a full-blown PLAN that fits EASILY into your lifestyle.

I struggled with this FOREVER because I just couldn’t find a fat loss program that I could stick with all the way to the end and then MAKE it stick so I didn’t gain the weight back.

Then last year, I took part in a “challenge” that a friend of mine started. Jeff Anderson is the author and creator of “Combat The Fat”, the weight loss program that uses principles Jeff learned while in the U.S. Military, to completely transform your body.

Jeff launched “Combat The Fat” in 2008 and set out to PROVE that the methods he learned from military units all around the world were superior to any other fat loss program by holding a 12-week “Before & After Contest”.

And the contestants WEREN’T “fitness models” or Navy SEAL’s…they were just your average, ordinary, men and women with anywhere from 20 lbs to lose to over 100 LBS…and I was one of the contestants!

To make a long story short, I followed his entire program step-by-step and averaged a loss of 3 lbs…every single week!

And I wasn’t the only one…you should see the other pictures!

In fact, I challenge you to find ANY weight loss program…with ANY pictures…on ANY other website where just plain old “Average Joe’s & Jane’s” were able to achieve a more amazing transformation than the ones Jeff’s program helped us accomplish in just one short 12-week period.

I’ll save you the trouble…you won’t find anything that’s been proven to work better!

And NOW, Jeff has released a new DVD (no…NOT an “online video”…an actual DVD!) to make his program even easier to follow…PLUS he’s throwing in PERSONAL COACHING!

Yeah…a DVD AND personal coaching!

He’s just put up all the details on his website so I highly recommend you go and see just how EASY he’s made it to finally melt away those extra pounds that have been taunting you in the mirror.

Here’s a direct link to see if this is a “fit” for you…

http://combatyourownfat.com

p.s. I managed to keep off the 35lbs I lost since March 2008 just by continuing my Combat The fat Workouts 3 days a week.

A secret experiment for HARDGAINERS?

A "secret experiment" for HARDGAINERS?

Hi,

Are you someone who has a hard time putting on weight?

Does it feel like someone put a "voodoo curse" on your genetics that makes it seem IMPOSSIBLE to put on any muscle?

Well guess what…

…you really ARE "cursed"!

I know…that’s not what you wanted to hear, right?

Well the fact is that your body really IS "different" than someone else who seems to be able to eat Twinkies and still pack on muscle mass.

Your muscular system is different…

Your hormonal system is different…

Even your central nervous system is different.

But don’t worry…there’s hope for you yet!

In fact, how would you like to take part in a "mad scientist" experiment designed JUST for skinny "hardgainers"?

Here’s the deal…

A buddy of mine, Jeff Anderson, says that he’s finally "cracked the code" on how to transform guys with really sucky genetics and FINALLY help them gain the weight and the muscle they’re looking for.

Is he right?

I don’t know…he won’t even tell ME what he’s uncovered! (It’s THAT "hush-hush!)

He says that he’s developed a completely NEW way to TRAIN…to EAT…and even to SUPPLEMENT…that he’s promising will end your "curse" forever!

Jeff was so excited about his new program that he doesn’t even want to take the next 6-12 months to write it all down.

So starting in just a few weeks, Jeff is going to PERSONALLY coach just a small handful of "skinny guys" in his brand new system.

In fact, he’s calling it an "experiment" that he claims will show the world once and for all that you DON’T have to just "accept" bad genetics.

He’s calling it…

…"Hardgainer Project X"!

He’s already signed up 250 of his own clients to the course and wasn’t even going to let me tell YOU about it!

But after much begging from a few of his buddies (me included), he’s decided to purchase just 50 MORE SEATS to his online coaching course.

So basically that means that it’s going to be a MAD DASH to grab the last of these seats and take care of Jeff’s PERSONAL coaching!

So I won’t waste any time…

If you’re the type who feels like your genetics will just NEVER allow you to gain muscle, then this may just be the solution you’ve been waiting for!

Go and check out Jeff’s VIDEO and website that explains it all at…

* Hardgainer Project X *

http://tinyurl.com/5s29o9 <= Click

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Just don’t wait on this, ok?

Jeff is taking the rare opportunity to work with you PERSONALLY on overcoming all of your mass-building challenges and once the seats are gone…they’re GONE!

So this is your one chance to go BEYOND just reading an ebook.

You’ll finally get to actually WORK with an "expert" who’s known for some pretty amazing transformations!

Again…go check out how YOU can become Jeff’s "human lab rat" at…

Good luck with the training if you can make it in time!

Mass Building Tip For Skinny Hardgainers!

Mass Building Tip For Skinny Hardgainers!
By The Muscle Nerd, Jeff Anderson

Don’t be a victim to "weak genetics"! Here’s a simple way to defeat the "hardgainer" curse!

Are you a "hardgainer"?

You know…someone who is reeeeeally skinny and has a hard time putting on muscle mass?

If so, then this hardgainer bodybuilding tip is just for YOU!

The "Hargainer Problem" (well…ONE of them!)

There’s no doubt that "hardgainers" have the odds stacked against them!

And one of the big problems they have is that the don’t have a hormone system that processes the "test0sterone chain" as efficiently as other guys.

Sucks, doesn’t it?!

But here’s a little trick you can try that is guaranteed to kickstart some new gains…

How To Boost Testosterone For More Muscle Mass…

Ok, here’s what you do…

For ONE WEEK, before each of your workouts (no matter which body part you’re targeting)…

…do 3 SETS of high volume SQUATS!

I know, I know…you hate doing squats period, right?

But especially for scrawny hardgainers (yeah…you women too!), squats are the "King" of all mass building exercises because they use more total muscle fibers than any other exercise.

Here’s Why This Works…

By starting your workout with 3 sets of squats (shoot for high reps…like 15-20), you jumpstart your endocrine system to kick up the production of anabolic hormones like testosterone.

Plus…using a higher volume rather than lower, you also stimulate the release of more human growth hormone that stimulates muscle growth.

Do this 3 TIMES a week and then move on to the rest of your workout (such as your chest, shoulders, etc.)

Repeat this trick any time you feel like your gains have plateaued and the flood of healthy, mass-building hormones will benefit your entire body to slather your scrawny frame with layers of muscle in no time!

2 Supplements For Better Performance Down There..

- AtoZfitness Article Blog Post -

2 Supplements For Better Performance "Down There..

I just got an email from my buddy, Jeff Anderson (aka the "Muscle
Nerd") and I’m still in shock!

One of Jeff’s most popular fitness programs (as you probably
already know) is a book on how you can make your own bodybuilding, fat loss, and sports supplements.

Reviews on this are AWESOME because he literally shows you how to save up to 98% on all of your supplements and…

…HIS "personal recipes" work even BETTER than the expensive name brands!

But Jeff’s outdone himself this time with his latest formula.

Let me explain why…

First of all, Jeff is known for being the "Average Joe’s" champion
because all of his programs are designed to be PRACTICAL for every day men (and women of course).

Well he’d been getting a lot of questions about how to overcome
such "male problems" as…

…lack of confidence in the bedroom

…"size" issues

…performance anxiety

…problems "getting it up"

Ok, ok…I know this sounds like one of those 50 "uninvited emails"
you get every day in your inbox, right?

But stay with me here because this topic is VERY SERIOUS and the information I’m about to share is a totally PROFESSIONAL take on this touchy subject.

In fact, this may describe one or two issues YOU may have
experienced from time to time.

Or maybe you DON’T have any "problems", but want to take your
"abilities" to the next level?

Well, no matter what your goal is, help has arrived…

First, Jeff found two SEPARATE studies took groups of men between the ages of 25-45 who suffered from mild to moderate E.D. that wasn’t related to disease.

They then gave them a dose of 1.7 g of the amino acid L-Arginine
once a day.

After 30 days, 5% of the group were reporting "normal" function in
the land down-under.

Not much to sneeze at, right?

But check THIS out…

Researchers then added 40mg of the super antioxidant "Pycnogenol" twice per day along with the L-Arginine.

After 30 days a full 80% were reporting normal erections…without
any side effects !

Adding a third dose of the Pycnogenol increased the success rate to 92.5%!

That’s freaking AMAZING!

And in the SECOND study, 50 men were tested with the same
combo…and ALL of them (yes…100%) were back to "normal" after 30 days!

Even if you DON’T have E.D., this supplement combo can result in
harder (even LARGER) erections and increased "performance".

But WAIT…it gets even BETTER!

As creator of the "Homemade Supplement Secrets" program, Jeff never stops at the "original formula".

He always does even MORE research to try to "turbo-charge" the
power of all of his supplement recipes…and this was no exception.

In fact Jeff was just interviewed on this subject by "sex-pert" Jay
Archer and he discusses the exact research AND a couple of "surprise ingredients" he’s added to make this combination even BETTER!

And you can get the entire recorded call AND Jeff’s "secret recipe"
RIGHT NOW!

But there are 2 "catches"…

1. You have to own a copy of the "Homemade Supplement Secrets" program so you fully understand HOW to easily make your own supplements (including this recipe).

If you don’t have a copy, this is a MUST READ…trust me!

It will actually pay for itself over and over again with the
savings you get from learning how to make your own supplements.

If you don’t have a copy, here’s where you can check out Jeff’s
website for more info…

http://tinyurl.com/59deys

When you get to the site, you’ll see this program listed among over
$200 in bonuses at the bottom of the page.

It will be the one with the countdown timer running over it because
this is ONLY available THIS WEEK!

So go and check this out now, ok?

Jeff’s the only one who could have come up with something so
revolutionary and approach it in such a professional way.

Here’s the site again…

Enjoy the "recipe" (and your new "abilities" !

My personal Combat the Fat challenge journey

lewis — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:01:40 +0000

Here is day one of Jeff Anderson’s Combat the Fat Challenge Sarah and

I chose to participate in. We had both gone off our training and diet programs for
a while and Jeff’s new military style structured program was JUST what we needed to get our
A** back in gear.

What I love about Jeff’s program is that since I have very little time left each day it is just 3
short brief workouts a week with no added cardio. Also each workout is fun to see how you
can better yourself each week on your reps and weights. (Note Jeff gives you the choice of
doing bodyweight exercises or alternative weightlifting exercises. I chose to combine the two
choices together to make it a bit more challenging. Just as an example when i started this
program at 205lbs I could not even do a single bodyweight pullup. Now I can bang out 10
with no problem. Was so much fun to see how I would steadily improve each week)

7-Minute Workouts That Build Muscle?

Hey all,

Got this from my buddy Jeff the Muscle Nerd and who better to explain Jon Benson;s 7 Minute Muscle then the muscle nerd himself.

Hi lewis!

Last year at a seminar, I had a roommate who was also a fitness trainer and well respected in the industry.

Jon and I had talked a few times in the past and I’ve always been a fan of his work.

Then one night after a couple of beers, he began telling me about his latest "project"…

You see, he’d been working on a new bodybuilding program for about

2.5 years that he was designing for those who are "too busy" to workout.

He’d been researching some old training manuals from the 50’s, and 60’s (talk about "Old School"!) and had been experimenting with workouts as short as…

…get this…

…7 MINUTES!

Well, last week he sent me a preview copy of the program to check out and possibly promote to my subscribers.

Now, you KNOW I don’t promote "just anything" (and I get asked EVERY WEEK to help someone out).

And the one thing I tell ALL program developers is that I don’t hold anything back…I lay it out as I see it!

** Fair Warning **

Well, I finally got through the program (it’s actually a short read…but it’s very different so it takes a while to digest).

Since you’re probably going to be hearing a lot about this over the next week, I thought I’d give you my take on it…

…………………………………………………
*** 7-Minute Muscle – A Muscle Nerd Review ***

http://7minutemuscle.atozfitness.com << Click

…………………………………………………

The bottom line of the program is that you can stimulate both strength and mass gains by increasing the intensity of your workouts for shorter periods.

In this case…your "beginner" workout lasts just 7 MINUTES TOTAL!

There was actually a lot of research done on this in the "old days"

and the programs worked especially well for "older" trainees who took part in the numerous studies.

(Jon actually cites over 100 research studies to support his program’s effectiveness.)

Let me give you the points that stuck out the most for me…

>>> 1. One of the core philosophies is the law of "progressive resistance" where each week you either add weight or repetitions to trigger you muscles to adapt.

Those who know me, know that I’m NOT a big fan of "progressive resistance".

But nearly every other "expert" (I said "NEARLY!) follows this basic philosophy and stands by it.

I’ll defend this as a myth until I die, but in the context of this program, I can see why it was added because the sessions ARE very short.

>>> 2. The workouts I tested WERE very intense!

VERY fast paced and even though they’re short, they will kick your ass in some cases.

Fortunately, there’s an element of the program that uses "creative rest periods" that let you set your own pace so you don’t leave in an ambulance.

In any case, ANYONE can follow these workouts whether you’re young or old, beginner or advanced.

>>> 3. One of John’s basic premises is that you need to stimulate as many muscle fibers as possible.

As those of you who just purchased my "Advanced Mass Building" program know, this is my latest "soapbox rant".

I was glad to see Jon echo my beliefs and the methods he uses DO in fact fall in line with how I teach my clients to accomplish this.

Jon goes into his methods in HOW he does this in his manual.

………………………………………………..

Do I recommend "7-Minute Muscle"?

Yes and No…

Let me explain…

Jon’s methods are well researched and very intriguing. (As I said…he cites over 100 references for his project!)

>>> I DON’T recommend this program if…

…you’re a total "gym junkie" and the thought of a 7-minute workout is the equivalent of just 30 seconds of "great sex".

You’ll be in and out of the gym in no time and for some, that just doesn’t cut it.

I personally don’t always feel like working out, but when I force myself to get to the gym, I feel like sticking around (kind of like sex after 40

>>> I DO recommend this program if…

* You’re someone who is looking for a new "twist" to add to your training program and willing to take a different approach.

* You’re a busy professional, mom, student, or someone who just wants to "get the workout over with" and still see results.

* You’re over 40′ish (Jon IS over 40 and an expert of fitness at this age and above) and have come to the realization you can no longer training like you were 20.

Plus…the program comes with 7 VIDEOS to help teach you this method for each body part which is pretty cool!

So with a program this far "out of the box", the decision will be up to you.

It DOES make my "recommended" list because there ARE some people who really need a short, but effective workout because they really don’t have much time on their hands.

You can decide for yourself by checking out this short website at… http://7minutemuscle.atozfitness.com

5 "ADVANCED" MASS BUILDING TIPS To GROW Muscle Like Crazy!

Remember when you FIRST started "lifting" and you could practically watch the muscle grow as you stared into your bathroom mirror?

Ahhhhhh…those were the days, eh?

But like most people, those gains slowed down after a while and probably came to a CRASHING HALT at some point, right?

And of course, the bodybuilding magazines told you to "work harder" as they gave you a "plateau buster" workout that only REALLY works for "steroid-juiced" pro’s!

It may have worked a tiny bit, but then you were right back where you started again!

Well, I have the solutions for you and I’m going to reveal them right NOW in these…

"5 Mass Building Mistakes…And How To INSTANTLY Correct Them For Thick New Growth"

http://advancedmassbuilding.atozfitness.com

Here’s what you’ll find in this F.R.E.E. Special Report:

Endo?

2.) Which training frequency has been scientifically PROVEN to work better for building muscle: 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-DAY training routines?

(Hint: No matter how you answer, you’ll only be HALF RIGHT! I’ll fill you in on the OTHER HALF and why it’s one of the KEY GROWTH FACTORS if your goal is to really pack on some serious size.)

3.) The PROPER way to "cycle" your training to ELIMINATE no-growth "plateaus" once and for all!

4.) How the TIME OF DAY affects your ability to grow muscle (and the 2 EXACT TIMES you should target to pack on some insane mass!)

Low Carb…Is It REALLY The Best Way To Burn Fat?

"Low Carb…Is It REALLY The Best Way To Burn Fat?"
by Jeff Anderson
www.combatthefat.com

April 21 2008

Ok…bottom line…do "low carb" diets burn fat?

In a word?

YES!

A recent study of 87 long term studies have proven that when it comes to burning body fat, reducing your carb intake DOES work best.

BUT…

"Low carb" diets can be VERY frustrating for most people and hard to stick to.

As an experiment last year, I went 10 full days with ZERO carbohydrates.

I mean, not even a blade of GRASS in my diet…straight protein…not a single carb or gram of fat in sight.

I went INSANE!

No, I don’t mean that "figuratively"…I mean I literally went INSANE!

I went from near sobbing fits over my computer not working properly to hysterical laughter at the thought of even undertaking such an experiment.

You see, your brain NEEDS carbs just to function properly so doing without any at all was an extreme example of how your body does need to get some carbs to function.

So here’s a tip from the "Muscle Nerd Looney Bin" on how to easily burn fat the "low carb" way from my Combat The Fat program ( http://www.combatthefat.com )…

>> Separate "Dry" Carbs From "Wet" Carbs

This is a little twist I’ve created in Combat The Fat that allows you to EASILY reduce the WRONG kind of carbs WITHOUT counting calories and NEVER going hungry.

You need more carbs on training days to recover your muscle so you can consume 2-3 servings of "Dry Carbs" on those days (like oatmeal, pasta, bread, etc.)

"Wet Carbs" include most vegetables and fruits and don’t contain a lot of carbs so you can eat MUCH more of these each day.

Use them as "fillers" in your diet to keep from getting hungry and helping you avoid the real culprits…those "dry carbs".

I know this is a very different way of looking at "food" and doesn’t really follow the normal "low carb" pattern.

But it’s a glimpse of the way that I’VE structured the RIGHT way to use "low carb" to lose weight and forms one of the foundations of the Combat The Fat "Daily Eating Guide".

Hope it helps!

2 Safe (Yet ADVANCED) Deadlift Options For Building Mass

2 Safe (Yet ADVANCED) Deadlift Options For Building Mass
April 3 2008

By The "Muscle Nerd", Jeff Anderson

Deadlifts are thought of by many as the Grand Poo-Bah of all exercises. Along with Elvis, they share the title of “The King”, and it’s a classic when it comes to mass building!

Unfortunately, the deadlift has gotten an undeserved bad rap as lifters have come to believe it causes back injuries and lead to thick waists. Well, it’s true that the deadlift HAS caused many a blown disc (mine included!), but when done properly, the deadlift is no more risky than any other exercise.

The problem is…most guys are using horrible form just when they’re doing simple exercises like barbell curls! So watching non-educated lifters go for a barbell deadlift, or worse…the STIFF LEGGED deadlift…well, it just makes my L2 and L3 vertebrae cringe with fear! (If you know what that means, then you’ve probably tried an incorrect deadlift at some point in your life as well, eh?

But don’t worry…there is hope for you to use the power of the deadlift effectively to build mass without having to make your chiropractor any richer than he already is.

Here are 2 options that you AND your back are gonna love…but you’re legs are gonna HATE!

DUMBBELL DEADLIFTS

By using dumbbells instead of a barbell, you eliminate the unsafe “lean” forward that makes traditional deadlifts so tricky.

You simply hold two dumbbells (go heavy!) on each side of your body, letting them hang naturally at your sides with your arms straight.

Now, keeping your head erect and your back as straight as possible, bend your knees until your upper legs are at least parallel with the floor. To finish the movement, push through the heels of your feet, raising your body until your legs are almost locked out, but do NOT lock out your knees! This will keep the tension on your legs where it needs to be.

Knock out 8-15 reps with a controlled movement.

SEATED SHRUG MACHINE DEADLIFTS

This is one of my favorites that REALLY lets me go for power!

For this exercise, you’ll look around your gym for a machine that is meant to be used for “seated shoulder shrugs”. (It has an adjustable seat with a handle on the bottom at each side connected to the bar where you would place the weight plates. If you can’t find it, ask an attendant at the gym to guide you in.)

Now, either remove the seat or adjust it all the way down…you won’t be using it!

However you will be using the backrest as your guide as you bend down and grasp the bars at the bottom (same placement as you did with the dumbbells) and lift the weight up almost to full extension. Keep a slow 4-count descent but don’t let the bars reach the point where they’re resting again. Keep the tension on your legs and do 8-15 reps (or until you start to see your quadriceps start to burst through your skin).

Whatever style you prefer, don’t shy away from deadlifts. The classics are classics for a reason. You just can’t go wrong with them.

The “PUMP”! Mass Building Myth..Or LEGEND?!

The "PUMP"! Mass Building Myth..Or LEGEND
March 31 2008

I have a quick video for you to check out today about the "Muscle Pump" that you feel during certain types of workouts, and whether it has any usefulness to building muscle.

My buddy Jeff Anderson (aka – the "Muscle Nerd"), put together this video clip below and a little brief intro. Check it out:

By The "Muscle Nerd", Jeff Anderson

Ever see those documentary television shows "Animals Gone Wild"? (no…NOT "GIRLS Gone Wild"! A-N-I-M-A-L-S!)

You know…the ones where normally docile animals scratch, claw, kick, bite, peck, gnaw, or otherwise DEVOUR another animal right before your eyes?

Well, here’s a challenge for you…

Throw a hundred fitness consultants in a room and ask them to debate whether or not that huge "PUMP" you get in the gym is REALLY building you any muscle…or if it’s just a useless ego booster…then watch them start scratching out eyes as the debate heats up!

Yep…tempers flare on this topic and opinions are all over the board…so how would you like a little help from the scientific community on whether or not you should be ignoring the pump…or whether it’s your best friend in the gym?

The answer may SURPRISE you!

Amaze your friends with your bodybuilding brilliance as you bring the next "pump" argument to a screeching halt with the no-nonsense verdict you’re about to learn in this short VIDEO LESSON!

You can watch it RIGHT NOW on your computer screen at…http://tinyurl.com/2p2sbr

Also if you’ve been struggling to put on any mucle size, I’d highly suggest you check out Jeff’s Optimum Anabolics site
