How to train and build using creatine supplement

There is so much conflicting information on creatine and the use of it. I went to Wikipedia and it confirmed my personal beliefs on creatine. I am not at all in favour of loading up on creatine when you first start to take it. I prefer to let it do its work as natural as possible. That is the reason I take 2 capsules a day for a period of 3 months. You will see from the article that it can cause kidney problem in some people. I like to play it safe and have a full months break from the creatine after the 3 months of taking it.

Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid that occurs naturally in vertebrates and helps to supply energy to all cells in the body, primarily muscle.
Creatine is naturally produced in the human body from amino acids primarily in the kidney and liver. It is transported in the blood for use by muscles. Approximately 95% of the human body's total creatine is located in skeletal muscle.
Creatine, synthesized in the liver and kidney, is transported through the blood and taken up by tissues with high energy demands, such as the brain and skeletal muscle, through an active transport system.
Creatine supplements are used by athletes, bodybuilders, wrestlers, sprinters, and others who wish to gain muscle mass, typically consuming 2 to 3 times the amount that could be obtained from a very-high-protein diet. The Mayo Clinic states that creatine has been associated with asthmatic symptoms and warns against consumption by persons with known allergies.
There are reports of kidney damage with creatine use, such as interstitial nephritis; patients with kidney disease should avoid use of this supplement.
Extensive research over the last decade has shown that oral creatine supplementation at a rate of 5 to 20 grams per day appears to be very safe and largely devoid of adverse side-effects, while at the same time effectively improving the physiological response to resistance exercise, increasing the maximal force production of muscles in both men and women. I hope this will help you to understand a little more of how creatine works. I also hope that it removes the idea that it is similar to steroids. Creatine is natural and taking it is like having a protein shake. It is just an easy way to control the intake of what is vital for muscles.

Body Building Muscle| How to Train and build Muscle Fast| Chest (pecs)

How to build a massive chest doing decline bench press

Many people want to have a more natural look to their chest - where the chest is reasonably flat but well defined at the bottom of the muscles. The kind of chest you often see with male models or dancers. Swimmers also tend to have this kind of chest.

 

You can have a chest that looks like this by doing decline bench press. As I say in the video - if you do flat bench press it works the whole chest. Incline works the upper part of the chest and decline works mainly the lower part of the chest. Make sure you train safely and if possible have a spotter. If you do not have a spotter like me then make sure you have safety bars in place so if you fail on the lift and have to put the weight down you can still get out from under the bar. Remember if you have no safety in place because of the position you are in it will be easy for the weight to end up squashing your neck. You can just imagine the serious consequences. 

I did not show it in the video but if you have any doubts rather use dumbbells. You can always drop them if you get stuck.

How to Train and Build Massive Muscle doing a Dead lift with the right grip

There are a few ways that you can hold a barbell in order to do a dead lift. Here are 2 different ways and some of the reasons for the different kind of grips.  

Double overhand - this is where both palms are facing towards you while grabbing the bar. This is one of the best ways to build your forearms and to help you develop a powerful grip. You should train like this until your grip starts to fail. Once you cannot grasp the bar any more then switch your grip to the mixed grip.

Mixed Grip - This is where one hand is facing towards you, and one away. One of the main reasons for this grip is because you tend to work rather heavy with dead lifts. The grip and forearms are normally the first to fail. By having your hands face different directions, you provide more stability and be able to handle heavier weight for a longer period.

How to train and build big muscles in your chest.

This information is taken from Wikipedia

The pectoralis major is a thick, fan-shaped muscle, situated at the chest (anterior) of the human body. It makes up the bulk of the chest muscles in the male and lies under the breast in the female. Underneath the pectoralis major is the pectoralis minor, a thin, triangular muscle.

The pectoralis major has four actions which are primarily responsible for movement of the shoulder joint. The first action is flexion of the humerus, as in throwing a ball side-arm, and in lifting a child. Secondly, it adducts the humerus, as when flapping the arms. Thirdly, it rotates the humerus medially, as occurs when arm-wrestling. Finally it aids in deep inspiration, as in taking a deep breath before jumping in a pool. The pectoralis major is also responsible for keeping the arm attached to the trunk of the body. It has two different parts which are responsible for different actions. The clavicular part is close to the deltoid muscle and contributes to flexion, horizontal adduction, and inward rotation of the humerus. When at an approximately 110 degree angle, it contributes to abduction of the humerus. The sternocostal part is antagonistic to the clavicular part contributing to downward and forward movement of the arm and inward rotation when accompanied by adduction. The sternal fibers can also contribute to extension, but not beyond anatomical position

A variety of resistance exercises can be used to train the pectoralis major, including bench pressing (using dumbbells, barbells or machines at various angles such as decline, incline and flat where the hips are above, below and level with the head respectively), pushups, flys (using dumbbells or machines at either flat or inclined angles), cable crossovers or dips. Multi-joint press exercises are better for building muscle mass, while fly and crossovers are more suited for shaping and increasing striations. This muscle is often said to consist of four portions (upper, lower, inner and outer) but the pectoralis actually contracts evenly across all heads during most exercises and as such no portion can be 'targeted'

How to Train and Build Massive Muscles and The Dangers of Training When Sick

On my YouTube site - Bazblog, I am often asked if people can train when they are sick.

If you have anything that is catching then, out of courtesy, you should stay away from others. Personally, I have a very strong view on illness. When you get sick your body is telling you something. Your body has to fight on your behalf to help you overcome the illness. Training of any sort makes your heart work harder. Often being sick puts your heart under stress. Trying to train when you are sick then puts your heart and body under unnecessary stress. This is not very healthy for anyone. I think it is really important to listen to your body and, if it is sick, that is a message that you need to take it easy and get over the illness.

The reason for this post is I got the vomiting bug that is going around. The worst thing I could have done would have been to try and train. The strain on the body would have been huge. The 4 days off that I have had to take are, in fact, a forced rest. That is actually a very good thing.

The great thing about training is that your body will work better for you when it is fit. People who are fit enjoy a much better quality of life.

How to train and build muscles and get rid of your fat belly

People train for many reasons. Sometimes it is to get stronger. Sometimes it is to be fit. Other times it is to impress girls or boys. There has to be a reason to train. The best reason to train is for you and you alone.

I received the following comment on my YouTube site and it makes the point very clearly. Here is a person who has trained for a few reasons and got the kind of results he wants. I can only admire him and use this to inspire me to get more from my training. Its also a wonderful testimonial and I feel very honoured to have received it. 

There are a lot of people who make videos demonstrating exercises on YouTube, but you stand out from the rest Baz. I watched this video 2 1/2 years ago to learn how to squat; I could only do 80lbs. Today I'm at 310lbs; your videos inspired and helped me with my fitness lots. The way you speak and explain things makes it all very easy to understand.

I want to say thank you very much, I hope you realize just how much you're helping people out there. Exercise is a cure for more than just belly fat.

You do not have to have a fat belly if you are prepared to put in a bit of good effort that will change your life forever

How to Train and Build big Muscles with the aid of Supplements

In this video I have shown the supplements I use. They may not be right for everyone but they certainly work for me. There are so many different things you can take and I am convinced that most things work if you believe in them. I think the most important thing is to use some common sense. Think about what you would need and then do a little research on it. Decide what you think will be the best for you and your age. Then take it with the absolute belief that it is going to help you. You will be amazed at how well it will work for you and how good you will feel. I really do not know if its the placebo effect or if its for real. I don't think it makes any difference as long as you feel good. Remember that the supplements will not build muscle. YOU have to lift weights to build the muscle.

How to Train and Build Massive Muscles doing a Full Upper Body Workout

I have been doing a lot of swimming lately which is really helping to condition the muscles. One of the problems with loads of swimming is you can lose muscle size because of the amount of aerobics.
I therefore have to eat and train really well. This is the full upper body workout I did today. I decided not to go too heavy. I used medium weights and did 5 sets of 10 reps for each muscle.

Chest. Flat bench press. The key is to do each rep slowly and to really focus on the movement.

Shoulders. Seated Shoulder press. It is important not to lower the weight too low when training shoulders because it can put a lot of pressure on the shoulder joints.

Back. Lat pull downs with shrug supersets. I did wide grip pull downs with the shrugs. Supersets are wonderful to challenge the muscles. Normally I would only do one set as a superset but today I did all 5 sets.

Triceps. Tricep push downs. I am a strong believer that this is the best exercise for me. Making the tricep do all the work is the key. It is really easy to use a bit of body weight to get the weight down. If you only use the tricep you will find that you cannot go too heavy.

Biceps. Standing bicep curls. I still believe this is the best of all the bicep exercises. It is very easy to swing the weight up so the key is to not go too heavy and make sure only the bicep does the lift.
Training today with medium weights was amazing because I did them strictly.

How to train and build muscles and burn of fat using swimming training

I have gone through some tough times recently with injury and loss of motivation for training. I wasn't training as I should, but kept eating like I was training full on. That meant I was putting in more than I was using up so it just turned to fat.

Two mMonths ago I decided to start swimming training and it is one of the best things I've done. I have built up from 30 lengths to 70 lengths every day. The amount of fat that I am burning off is quite unreal. I'm still eating quite a bit but I am using more than I am putting in. The swimming has also changed the way I'm doing my weights. I seem to have a new intensity with my training and feel I am actually getting even better results than before.

You have to have a goal to aim for and if you do not it is easy to lose motivation to train. I now want to swim in Masters Swimming Galas so there is a really good incentive to train and train hard.

How to train and build muscles eating correctly

Most of us want to build a good looking body but it takes dedication to train, and more importantly, to eat right. I don't think most people realise the importance of correct eating. I have spoken to many people and proved it for myself - the whole basis of bodybuilding revolves around food. If you eat right you can eat yourself thin along with eating yourself into good shape.

Of course it takes a fair amount of training too. Muscles grow and look good when they are put under stress. The human body is amazing as it adapts to whatever stress it is placed under. If you give the muscles resistance to work against they just get bigger and stronger. In the video you will see an easy way to make meals so you can have really good balanced meals to help get the kind of body you want.
