Choosing A Gym - A Fun Quiz To Help You Out!

2006-07-03T05:16:00.000-07:00

When it comes to choosing a gym, how do you know where to begin? There are so many factors that play into it. Do you want a gym that is close to your work, so you can get a workout in before you hit the office?

Would you rather there be one close to home? Distance is a huge factor. How far are you willing to drive? Do you want an all unisex or all men's or woman's gym? Do you prefer a small select group that is tiny and intimate, or a huge chain that has tons of energy and people?

First you have to figure out what type of gym is right for me? Once you answer this, make sure that the gym you choose is convenient enough to where you live or work. No matter how much you love your gym, if it is a huge pain to get there every day, you won't be going as often as you should. Keep that in mind when making your decision.

The easiest way I found to choose a gym that was right for me was asking myself questions. The answers usually help you figure out quite easily where it is that you should really be training.

Here are is a quiz that will help you answer your own question.

Quiz:

Choose only one answer to each question.

Question #1
When choosing a gym, the most Important thing to me is:

A variety of classes and equipment. The more, the better.
Personalized attention. I have no idea where to start. I want someone to tell me.
Are there going to be lots of other men or women there? I hate a gym where I am the only guy/girl in a room full of the opposite.
A great steam room. Is there anything else more important?
Distance. How far away did you say it was?

Question #2
I like a gym that has:

Really flexible hours. Do you have any idea how crazy my schedule is?
Great trainers. I find training a lot easier when someone else does the thinking, and I follow the routines.
Not too many, or any, people of the opposite sex. Don't I have to worry what I look like enough time during the day already?
Trendy classes. How am I supposed to be with it if my gym isn't?
The same people that I know all the time. The fewer surprises, the better.

Question #3
When choosing a gym, the least important thing is:

Not that many people. I like having somewhat of a crowd, or people to watch.
A huge facility. The more intimate the better for me.
A variety of people to choose from for a date on Saturday night. The gym is about training, not picking up a date.
Price. You get what you pay for right?
Variety. Who cares? As long as it is convenient, I am so there.

Question #4
If you could only choose one thing a gym must have it would be:

A great energy, along with several different locations.
Personal trainers. I can't imagine training any other way.
A non-judgmental, very laid back environment. I would only feel comfortable that way.
A very capable and accommodating staff. I like to feel like my wish is their command. Or at least that if I ask for something, it could be done.
A way for me to know that I don't have to go far, and that there would be no reason why I couldn't train because of inconvenience.

Question #5
Last question. Now think carefully. In your life, you feel the most comfortable when:

There are several options. You hate to feel limited, or like your life is becoming monotonous in any way.
Someone else is taking the reins. You like someone else to take charge.
If you are a guy, around your guy friends, male bonding! If you are a girl, around your girlfriends, men just don't get it.
Being well taken care of, maybe even a little pampered. You deserve it!
At my house, apartment, office, or any place that is routine and very familiar.

Conclusion

Whatever answer you come up with, just make sure that you try before you buy. All gyms have some type of guest pass, or trial period. Trying the gym a few times is the best way to make sure that it is not too far, or inconvenient, that you feel comfortable, and that this really is the gym for you. Now get to work! You have lots of training to do.

10 FACT OF BODYBUILDING (supplements)

2006-05-01T03:21:00.000-07:00

In bodybuilding, as in any other discipline, there is much speculation surrounding the various methods and processes underpinning the ways in which to succeed. These speculations often lead to confusion and frustration on the part of the aspiring bodybuilder. For example, there is a misconception, in terms of nutrition, that avoiding fat at all costs will enhance ones health and create a winning physique. Research, however, would prove that strategically including the right type of fats, in the appropriate ratios, will not only improve health, but enhance physical development. Also, there is a belief that training aerobically will deleteriously impact on muscle growth. As will be shown in this article, aerobic training can be a valuable tool when aiming to increase mass. These are but two examples. There are many others. In fact, there are certain universal truths every bodybuilder should know. The following are guaranteed to improve anyone's physique.1: Lift Progressively Heavier Weights. A fundamental requirement for anyone wanting to achieve size is to increase the amount of weight lifted from session to session. This increases the intensity of the session and ensures the muscles are subjected to sufficient stress, which will, in turn, elicits results.Beginner's Bodybuilding Program! So, you want pack on some serious mass and carve out those abs? Here's a step-by-step introduction to the iron game that will get you started on the right foot. Don't expect overnight miracles - building a body takes time, focus and consistency. The beginner bodybuilder would first aim to achieve a certain number of repetitions, with a certain weight (say 10 repetitions with 50 kilograms on the bench press). The following week, 2.5 kilograms would be added, and so on, until the lifter can only complete six-eight repetitions.The aim will then be to, once again, complete 10 repetitions with the weight they are currently achieving six-eight with. The truth is, the only way to progress in bodybuilding is to subject the muscles to greater a greater level of intensity on a continual basis - commonly know as progressive resistance training.In fact, a plateau may ensue if the same intensity is applied to the muscles day in day out. A plateau will halt progress and could diminish results. If one finds they cannot increase their training weight, overtraining might have occurred and this will need to be addressed before further gains can be made (refer to fact 10).

3-Day Workout for MASS
Are you frustrated with your current workout? Have you been at the same weight and same strength for months... or even years? Are you tired of following "Ronnie Coleman's Super Freak Workout For Juiced-Up Psychos"?

This article will show you what real natural bodybuilders do to gain mass in as short as time as possible? all without lifting weights more than 3 days per week. Let's get to the workout:

Nese doni me ja perkthy ne gjuhen shqipe kete pjese, atehere shkruani komente ne 'Comments' me poshte.

The Workout

Note: Do a short warmup set before each exercise with approximately 50% of the weight you will use for the main working set. Do about 4 - 6 reps with this lighter weight, just enough to get warmed up.

Squats 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Leg Extensions 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Leg Curls 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Dumbbell Pullovers 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Barbell Overhead Shoulder Press 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Seated Rows 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Bench Press 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Barbell Bicep Curls 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Tricep Extensions 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Weighted Pullups 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Weighted Dips 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Standing Calf Raises 1 X 8 - 12 reps
Abs - 1 X 10 - 15 reps

The workout should last no longer than 45 minutes! Plan your rest between sets accordingly so that you finish in this time period. Studies have shown that after 47 ? minutes of intense weight training, your cortisol levels shoot up. This means that the longer you workout AFTER 47 minutes, the LESS results you will get and the more likely you will overtrain. So get in the gym, lift hard, stay focused, and get out.

The most important thing is that you lift to absolute FAILURE! This is not an option. It is almost 100% necessary to have a workout partner. If you need to get 8 - 10 reps, choose a weight that allows you to get 8 - 10 reps? but not even ONE more.
I am serious!

Once you reach your last rep, you should not be physically able to do another one, no matter what. If Britney Spears promises to date you if you get one more, it wouldn't matter. You should NOT be able to do it. Only you can judge if you are truly putting all possible effort into each set.
Unlike programs where you are doing 4 or 5 sets per exercise, you only have one chance to blast your muscles. Don't waste it!

You will also notice that all the exercises are compound movements. We are NOT doing any isolation exercises. Let Richard Simmons do them. We want to get huge and strong and the only way to do it is by using these exercises.

Perform each set with good form. Cheating will only hurt your gains. Do each rep slowly and do not use momentum. Each rep should use a full range of motion and take approximately 2 seconds on the way down and 2 seconds on the way up. Do not "jerk" the weight up. Slowly move it up and down. Use lighter weight if you must. This is VERY important to your gains so don't ignore this!

Do not stop moving during any part of your set. Some people will go all the way down on squats, then come back up and lock their knees, rest for a second or two, then go back down. Do NOT do this or you will be making Baby Jesus cry. You should stay in constant motion without locking out on any exercise. Do not stop at the bottom of your bicep curls or any other exercise. Again: Keep moving for the whole set and do not lock out your arms or legs.
Keep moving like it is one long SLOW rep instead of 10.

Do not stop at the bottom or top of your movements. Wuss!

Schedule

That's it. A full body workout that you will complete 2 1/2 or 3 days per week on one of the following schedules:

3 Days A Week

1 on, 1 off, 1 on, 1off, 1 on, 2 off. Usually people will do this by working out Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with the other days completely off from weight training.

2 1/2 Days A Week

Experienced lifters may benefit even MORE from taking more rest days. Have you ever noticed that after a two day rest period, your next workout is awesome? You feel good, your strength is up, and you have a great workout. Then, near the end of the week you feel tired and drained? Lifting on the following schedule allows you to get full recovery and have a record-breaking workout each time: 1 on, 2 off, repeat over and over again.
