motivation

What are the fears stopping you? What is in your way that's causing you not to achieve your goals? The biggest one is the mind, and fear of self.

know your body

Guys that haven't trained natural for long enough usually are not in tune with there bodies enough to get the full effect of cycles (supplements). These are usually the guys that say, I am not sure if its working, or confuse muscle soreness for pain or injury. If you have been training for years natural you basically know your recovery time and you can tell changes in your body that happen like bloat, recovery and intensity that occur just from a bad meal. Being in tune with your body on a natural level will let you get so much more out of using any drug or even dietary supplements.

After having a bad weekend of to much food and drink and too little sleep I can notice my training suffer for days while my body recovers. On the same note I know exactly what to do when trying to recover after said mistake. That took years of fiddling with my body, what I eat and how I train. When people ask you how you look like that and what did you do, you simply say good diet, work out, get sleep rinse and repeat for 6-10 years. That usually throws them off.

Endorphins and exercise

   Exercise decreases the stress hormones such as cortisol and increases endorphins.  Endorphins are the body’s natural feel good chemicals, and when they are released through exercise, your mood is boosted naturally.  As well endorphins, exercise also releases adrenaline, serotonin, and dopamine.  These chemicals work together to make you feel good. 
Endorphins are defined as hormone-like substances that are produced in the brain and function as the body’s natural painkillers.  During exercise, these endorphins are released, and this can produce feelings of euphoria and a general state of wellbeing.  The endorphins produced can be so powerful that they actually mask pain.  Physically active people recover from mild depression more quickly and physical activity is strongly correlated with good mental health as people age.

   

   The best type of exercise for improving your mood is cardiovascular exercises and aerobics.  This is because vigorous exercise helps to release the chemicals necessary for the mood-raising high.  Yoga is also great as it reduces tension and stress while improving the mood.  It focuses on stretching, breathing, and motion that release negative emotions in the body. Feeling blue? Go out and exercise, No one ever regrets a brisk run or a good workout.

Don't waste your time cardio.

Studies have shown that doing 4-6 sprints for 30 seconds at high intensity burns more fat than running for long distances. Be sure that you aren't wasting your time by going over board on cardio. If your doing cardio don't go any longer than 25 minutes.

triple drop sets

I feel triple drop sets are one of the most effective techniques to take your workouts to the next level. 

Triple drop sets coupled with partner assisted reps will provide maximum overload to the specific muscle group you are working on. If you have not read my previous articles pertaining to bodybuilding workouts, a triple drop set is when you warm up to your maximum poundage, (a weight you can perform for 6-8 reps) which you will do for a given number of reps, followed by a few partner assisted reps.
Immediately after this set you will drop the weight so that you will be able to continue the set for another 4-6 reps, followed by partner assisted reps. The weight is further reduced for your last set of 8-10 reps, followed by additional partner assisted reps. Employing this technique on a few exercises in your workout will increase the intensity of your workout drastically. It's easier said then done so get to it. You will feel a better pump and bigger burn.

L-caritine amino acids (now you know)

L-Carnitine is known to help transport fat into the mitochondria of cells, which can aid in your body’s ability to use energy more efficiently and more rapidly. Recent studies have also shown that L-Carnitine may increase androgen receptors in your muscles where testosterone latches on to in order to facilitate muscle growth and fat burning. The best times to take L-Carnitine are in the morning and right before you workout. Use natural amino acids to burn fat. Don't waste your money on other name brand substances that are way over priced.
