Bodybuilding Supplements Guide

By leehayward On July 23, 2010 146 Comments

Are you confused and unsure what to take when it comes to muscle building and fat loss supplements? If so, then welcome to the club because I’m confused about supplements as well. In fact I think if anyone tells you that they AREN’T confused about supplements, either they couldn’t care less about them, or they are lying and won’t let their egos admit that they are confused.

I mean every month there are new products hitting the market, some new weird and wonderful anabolic concoction that’s promised to be the long lost secret to achieving the ripped muscular body of your dreams. Or some new loss super duper fat loss diet loss pill that will melt the fat off you quicker then a stick of butter in a red hot frying pan.

And these supplements can be tempting. Especially when you read the glossy full page magazine ads with all the scientific jargon, and the picture of some jacked up muscle dude claiming that he built his body as a direct result of taking “Supplement X”. Then to top it off they’ll stick a picture in the background of a guy dressed as a doctor with a stethoscope around his neck and a clipboard in his hand to make the whole thing seem “official”.

I mean with all that stuff being heavily promoted in an internationally published bodybuilding magazine, how can one not help but to be a little intrigued about this magic muscle building breakthrough miracle that they are selling.

Now before you think that I’m just going to go on a big “Anti-Supplement” rant, I’m NOT. I actually do use and whole heartedly believe there are huge benefits to taking certain supplements. But what I don’t like is the deceptive tactics and BS that most supplement companies use when promoting their products.

My goal with this video is to help you become a more educated consumer so that you don’t fall prey to the lies and misconceptions that greedy supplement marketers use to trick you out of your hard earned money. I also want to help you make intelligent supplement choices that will move you closer to achieving the lean muscular physique you desire. Rather then just getting a lean wallet, which is all most people end up with when buying supplements.

Hardcore bodyweight workouts

By leehayward On July 20, 2010 No Comments

I get a lot of e-mail from folks looking for alternatives to the typical “gym workouts”.
They want more practical bodyweight style conditioning workouts.

Now while I’ll be the first to admit that training in
a serious gym is absolutely critical to building a thick
muscular “Bodybuilders” physique.

There are benefits to including bodyweight conditioning
workouts to complement your heavy weight training workouts
in the gym.

Bodyweight workouts are great for providing unique training
stimulation. And this can actually help spur on new growth
while improving your muscular endurance and conditioning.

Not only that, but bodyweight only workouts are fun
and challenging to perform and you can do them anywhere,
anytime with minimal equipment.

However, even though bodyweight style workouts are great,
you still have to know what you are doing or else you’ll
just be left fumbling around and spinning your wheels
going nowhere.

And that’s why I wanted to let you know about Elite
Coach, Scott Sonnon’s killer combat style bodyweight
fitness training system at:

http://www.TacFitElite.com

Scott has personally trained Navy SEAL’s, Secret Service Special Ops, Law Enforcement Agents, Firemen, and MMA fighters to get into their all time peak combat shape. This is his training specialty. Scott is a master at whipping people into combat shape while building ripped functional athletic muscle!

That’s why I’m letting you know about Scott Sonnon’s
kick ass elite bodyweight conditioning training system.

And as of right now YOU have access to an exclusive 51%
discount. It’s only supposed to be for Scott’s personal
TACFIT “insiders”, but he’s given me and a few other
friends permission to tip off our followers.

http://www.TacFitElite.com <- Click for the exclusive 51% discount

It’s no surprise that all these professional tactical
teams trust Scott to prepare them for the dangerous work
they do. And it’s so cool that he’s making that same
training technology available to everyone.

I for one am looking forward to applying some of this stuff
into my own workouts to help add some training variety and
help get into “commando shape”!

The full TACFIT Commando Elite Program is available now.
And like I said, they’re doing a special 51% off sale to
celebrate it’s launch.

Prowler High Intensity Muscular Endurance Workout

By leehayward On July 19, 2010 3 Comments

The Prowler is a killer workout for building up muscular endurance in the legs, hips, arms, and shoulders. This video is of my initial trial of the prowler and I was impressed by just how hard this machine really is. If you have access to one, I highly recommend incorporating it as part of your workouts. Simply doing a 5-10 laps with this machine at the end of your workouts will really help build up your overall conditioning. Another big plus to this is it will really get that lactic acid burn going throughout your legs, which is great for stimulating natural Growth Hormone release.

Bicep Blasting MP3 Audio Replay

By leehayward On July 16, 2010 No Comments

For our July 15 Total Fitness Bodybuilding Talk Show I was joined by FAME Fitness Model Competitor and Author of The “Bones To Buff” program, Joey Vaillancourt.

Joey and I did a tele-conference call and discussed a lot of the unique arm specialization workouts that I have covered in my “Blast Your Biceps” program as well as some overall bodybuilding and mass building training techniques in general.

Right Click Here and choose “Save Target As…” to download the MP3 audio recording to your computer. I have to apologize in advance for the fact that the audio is a little low, so you’ll have to crank up your speakers to hear it. Also at the end of the call when we un-muted the lines for live Q and A there was some back ground static noise. But 90% of the call came through clear. We discussed some killer training tips on this call. Heck, I was even impressed with all the valuable stuff we covered here. It’s a must listen to if you are struggling with building up your skinny arms or any lagging muscle group for that matter.

Tonight’s show is going to be a bit different than our normal routine. Rather then doing a typical ustream video show, I’m going to do a tele-conference call with Joey and he is actually going to be interviewing ME about bodybuilding training. More specifically about the unique arm specialization training techniques that I have covered in my “Blast Your Biceps” program.

You see this call tonight is going to be shared with both Joey’s “Bones To Buff” members as well as my regular online followers. So it should be an interesting call to say the least. So if you’re looking for some killer muscle building tips to help you pack on a couple inches of sleeve stretching muscle mass to your upper arms, then be sure to get in on tonight’s call with Joey Vaillancourt and myself.

The call starts at 9:00 pm Eastern Time.

The Phone Number you need to call is: 1-218-862-7200
The Bride Number you need to enter is: 277155

If you are not sure when 9:00 pm Eastern Time is in your time zone, you can check it out at: http://www.timezoneconverter.com
