Georges St-Pierre Workout Routine

Image
Georges St-Pierre is MMA fighter from Canada that won many UFC and MMA titles since 2006. If you are a fan of MMA fighters then you probably know everything about this tough guy, but do you know what workout routine he is following? Can you believe that he built his thick and muscular body with only 2 training days in a week? That is totally opposite to the workout programs of Bodybuilding competitors who train four, five, and even six days a week. But, you can't say that his physique isn't amazing, and he is one of the toughest MMA fighters today. Georges St-Pierre's training plan is great for increasing strength, explosive power, and lean muscle mass. It is a combination of bodyweight exercises and Olympic movements. His workout can be done at home and only equipment that you need is two 25 pound dumbbells.  Here is Georges St-Pierre Full-Body Workout: WARM UP CIRCUIT:  Standing Sprint, 30 seconds High Knee, 30 seconds Plank Bu...

His physique was aesthetic and very muscular. He was three times Mr. Olympia and he was one of few bodybuilders that defeated Arnold Schwarzenegger.  Frank Zane's aesthetic physique was a result of both light and heavy training. In the earlier part of his career, Frank Zane used to train with light weights and high rep range. He was already well built then, but the only thing that was missing for a Mr. Olympia title was Muscle Size. Frank wasn't very big like other Mr. Olympia competitors and he knew...

Best Healthy Foods to Gain Muscle Mass

Image
If you want to gain lean muscle mass then you need a workout program for hypertrophy (muscle growth) and a diet plan for muscle gain. Your diet plan should consist of only healthy foods, so no junk foods and sugars. They are only bad for your health, and they don't build muscle, they build body fat.  In order to build muscle mass, you need to consume all three macronutrients every day, in every meal. Macronutrients are Proteins, Carbohydrates, and Fats. Protein is a nutrient that is most important for muscle growth and you should eat  Foods that are Rich in Protein . For muscle growth, best macronutrients ratio is 40% of Carbs, 30% Proteins, and 30% Fats. For example, if you consume 3000 calories daily and you are in caloric surplus, which is necessary for bulking, you will split those calories into 1200 calories from carbohydrates, 900 calories from fats and 900 calories from proteins. You need to include fats in your diet, and only fats that you need t...

Best Muscle Building Exercises

Image
                   I guess that  you probably already know that Compound Exercises are best for building Muscle Mass, that is clear. I appreciate them a lot more than Isolation Exercises and in order to Gain Muscle and also Lose Fat, your Workout Program must contain a lot of Compound Workouts. With those exercises, all old school bodybuilders made their body so muscular and strong. Strength is very important too to achieve your muscle building goals so lift heavy and with not so many reps and you will see results. Along with good Hypertrophy Meal Plan and great Hypertrophy Workout Plan you must see results.  1. Bench Press  This is my favorite exercise and I always put it as no. 1 in my pushing workouts and my upper body workouts. With Bench Press, you can become more strong and add muscle to your chest primarily and also for your shoulder...

How to Boost Testosterone Levels to Maximize Muscle Growth

Image
Testosterone is a male hormone which is very important factor in building muscle mass. Also, it is very important to have normal levels of testosterone for energy, libido, and athletic performance. When it comes to muscle building, boosting testosterone levels has a big effect on muscle growth and also is enhancing fat burning. So, besides muscle mass gains, testosterone is also important for reducing levels of body fat. The problem is, testosterone levels are declining from the early 30s for most men. But, natural testosterone level is highest at the early 20s and at that age you can build muscles faster and easier.   Luckily, there are ways to raise testosterone levels naturally and to achieve that you have to focus on training routine and diet plan that stimulate testosterone boost. I don't advise consuming steroids, it is better to naturally raise testosterone levels with proper diet and workout routine for a long-lasting increase. Steroids are havi...

Foods that are Best Sources of Protein

Image
Why are the proteins so important? Every athlete knows that protein is a very important nutrient for health, muscle growth, and weight loss. Also, we need to eat protein foods every day to keep our metabolism running and our blood sugars stable. Proteins are long chains of amino acids, which are very important molecules that we get from our diet. Without consuming enough of protein calories you can become deficient in amino acids that lead to low energy, no muscle gains, and low concentration and memory. Those are just some of the facts that show the importance of consuming protein foods. For lifters, protein is the main macronutrient. The king of macronutrients among three of them. Others macronutrients are carbohydrates and fats. You can't build muscle mass or lose weight in a healthy way without consuming proteins. So, for a conclusion of an importance of proteins is that you have to consume protein foods if you want to: Build Lean...
