Key Points


  • Warm up thoroughly before your workout. A few super light sets for 28-25 reps will do the job. A few minutes of cardio can also help. The cardio will also help to circulate blood and increase of the onset of any pre workout supplements. 
  • Wear the proper attire. If it is cold out, wear warm clothes to keep the muscles warm and functioning well. Heat promotes blood flow, so why be cold ?
  • Lift with proper form. Cheat reps have thier place here and there, but too much cheating and lead to injury

Gluten-Free Grain Choices

08/01/12 0 COMMENTS

 

Sometimes a successful diet comes down to creativity. If you are interested in adding some different whole grains to your diet, or if you have Celiac’s disease, you should look into these gluten-free grain choices. Do the research, and look into recipes that center around the following glueten free grains. 

 

Armaranth comes from Central and South America. It is a light tan, tiny seed that is used as a grain. It has a nutty flavor and unique texture. It has 25 % more fiber than whole wheat and is high in protein. It also contains high amounts of iron, magnesium, zinc, and folate. 

This grain can be served as a hot cereal or added to soups. The flour can also be used for protein packed baked goods. 

 

 

Millet is a small yellow grain that contains more protein than wheat, corn, and rice. It is also a good source of B vitamins, fiber, and iron. 

When cooked this grain can be used as a rice substitute. Increased water saturation and longer cooking times can create a hot, creamy breakfast cereal. Millet flour gives a light flavor to baked goods.

Poor Diet and IQ Reductions in Children

08/01/12 0 COMMENTS

 

A study from the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health has found that a diet characterized by high levels of fat, sugar, and processed foods in early childhood may be associated with small reductions in IQ. 

On the other hand, children who practiced healthy eating may have experienced small increases in IQ. A healthy diet characterized as one with high amounts of nutrient rich foods. A balance of protein, unprocessed carbs, healthy fats, fruits and vegetables is the best choice. 

To me this makes perfect sense. One of my favorite sayings is “if you put crap in, you get crap out”. This is both true for mental and physical performance. 

The nutrition practices of the youth is extremely important due to the fact that they are still developing. In order to ensure optimal development both physically and mentally, it would be best to follow a healthy diet. Teaching children poor eating habits at an early age will lead to similar practices throughout life in most cases. It is better to teach them the ways of proper nutrition during childhood, and when they are older they can make their own decisions on just how good or poor they would like to eat. Until that time, it is the role of the parents, teachers, and coaches to provide the necessary knowledge.

People better start stepping up !

Nitric Oxide w/ Arginine + Citrulline

06/01/12 2 COMMENTS

 

I love to stack L-Arginine Ethyl Ester with L- Citrulline Malate. When coupled together they give me a mind blowing pump at the gym. And we all know, bigger pump = increased blow flow = better nutrient delivery. I don’t like the idea of taking any aggressive and harmful supplements that are on the market for a good pump. I look for purity and the highest quality ingredients with NO fillers. Once again Nutrabio.com delivers. 

 

 

Benefits of Arginine Supplementation

  • Supports protein synthesis
  • Increased Nitric Oxide and blood flow
  • Improved nutrient delivery
  • Boosts circulatory system
  • Promotes healthy sexual function

 

 

I choose L-Arginine Ethyl Ester because regular L-arginine is slightly limited in its effectiveness. A good portion of regular arginine is absorped in the intestine. This is a no-no for anyone desiring a muscle inflating pump.
