I’m writing a post for my blog on the best muscle building food and so far I have Red Meat, Chicken, Eggs, Nuts, Peanut Butter and Low fat milk. What other foods are great for building muscle?

Could anyone tell me what the best Strength Building Supplement to be combine with Exercise is. I was thinking something like ” Phosphagen Elite ” would be the best but I might be mistaken.

I weigh 139 pounds, 5′8 ,work out 3-4 times per week, and found out that I have 19% body fat! I look skinny but now have a paunch at the age of 30. I recently cut out alcohol and have incorporated 30mins of low intensity cardio X3/week. Also, I’ve increased my consumption of vegetables and eat reasonably well. Would bicycle crunches for 5 mins a day be effective? I notice that after consuming a meal, my stomach looks and feels “fatter” even though I eat healthy. Is this normal? Should I not consume carbs at dinner?

I’d like to build muscle and lose body fat without dropping weight, so I’m not sure how to organize my workout and diet plan effectively.

Your advice and suggestions are appreciated.

im 20 years old male 5ft6 and a half 155 pounds i want to put on muscle mass I brought Muscle milk Cyto gainer and True mass which one is the best and how much should i take and how should i workout when i take it. Would i look weird with all that muscle mass being so short at 5ft6?. I also heard yoga will straightened out the spine to gain a little extra height. Should i start weight training first or yoga first. how would the weight training affect the yoga?

I know these days with the busiest of schedules it is very difficult to work up to anything greater than a meager muscle. With that said not taking vitamins and herbs can be considered a fight against the workout. With the helping hand of vitamins and herbs what are the best to take for building muscles and physical strength?Also, please don’t say that Mormons aren’t allowed to build muscles because I always get that and it seems that there is a precedent for everything in Mormon doctrine. I therefore ask this question as a human being and not from a Mormon perspective.

What is the best muscle building supplement out there, by supplement I mean: shakes,pills,drinks, etc,

Please list supplements that can be purchased by people under 18 years old

The goal of a lot of beginners, who go the gym for the first time, is getting huge arms. Having incredible arm muscles is something that attracts attention from the girls and also earns respect from guys. Who wouldn´t want to roll up their sleeves and show others their arms. Some even cut their sleeves off to show off. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with that. If you havea ferrari, then you drive with it and show others as well. The same thing is with arms. But if you haven´t got anything to show, then you should to something about it. Unfortunatley a lot of people go about their arm training all wrong. If you use the wrong exercises, then your arms just will not grow. If you really want to build huge arms, then check out these arm muscle exercises that are proven to be the best.

Barbell Curl – This is one of the best isolation movements and this really makes you biceps bigger

Dumbbell Curl – This is very similar to Barbell Curls, but this exercise allows you to switch to alternate curls and that way you can cheat a few more reps out.

Close Grip Chin Up – This is an exellent exercise and also one of my favourites. With this exercise you can use your whole body weight, not just move your arms like you do with barbell curls. Moving your body through space also activates higher levels of neuromuscular activation which leads to greater muscular development.

Hammer Curl – This exercise targets the brachialis muscle. If you develop this muscle properly, then it will add a lot of size to your arms.

Incline Dumbbell Curl – Again it is similar to the other exercises. The added strech makes this one also very effective bicep building exercise.

Parallel Bar Dip – This is by far the best exercise to build your triceps. It is very effective because like the Close Grip Chin Up, it your body through space. By the way, did you know that the tricep makes up 2/3 of the upper arm. Don´t make the mistake of only training your biceps.

Close Grip Bench – This is another tricep builder and you can put on some serious weight on the bar.

Angled Bar Pushdown – This exercise really isolates your triceps and it also doesn´t put that much stress on your elbows.

EZ Bar Lying Triceps Extensions – A very effective isolation exercise for the triceps, but it can create some elbow problems so be a little careful with that.

If you really want to get huge arms quickly then you have to use these exercises. Don´t waste your time with other exercises, which are not as effective.

In my opinion these are the best arm muscle exercise

In today’s fitness conscious age, almost everybody is aspiring for that perfectly toned body. Rigorous workout sessions are extremely important no doubt, but that’s not all that you need to do. Contrary to popular belief, what you eat goes a long way in determining how you look. You might lift weights and do intense cardio exercises, but if you eat unhealthy and eat irregularly, the effect is bound to show on your body as well. Muscle building diets are essential. Maintaining a healthy diet gets you that much closer to the perfect body of your dreams.

Remember how your parents would ask you to finish your food, because children need the right amount of right food to help them grow? Don’t forget that when you set off to build muscles, what you are actually doing is making them grow. Because you are growing, it is of utmost importance that you eat right. However, the worst thing to have in your diet while you are growing muscles is extra fat. All of us need some amount of fat in our daily diet, but make sure that you don’t go overboard with it.

There are loads of diets in the market which help you get that sculpted body. Choosing among muscle building diets is very important. The following tips might come in handy if you are in a dilemma about which diet to follow –

Protein diet – This is the most popular amongst the diets. However, remember that you have to stick to this diet religiously, or you won’t get any results at all. Protein is basically what goes towards building that mass of muscles. So a diet rich in protein will no doubt, be successful. This diet includes a lot of protein rich foods, including meat, fish and protein shakes.

Anabolic diet -You must remember that this is one of the harder muscle building diets to follow. It takes intense self control and a lot of thought and planning. As a result, it is not as popular. The basic principle of the diet is to get you to eat as much protein as you can. Carbohydrates are reduced to a minimum during the week, when you have to fill your stomach by eating a lot of protein. However, you are allowed to hog on carbs during the weekends to make it up to your body. Weekdays will be the days you will be working, and thus, it is very difficult to stick to the low-carb routine during those days.

Low carb diet – Just like the anabolic diet, this is also quite difficult to follow rigorously. This muscle building diet means limited amount of carbohydrate intake. Because the body is deficient in carbs, its energy levels fall sufficiently. The energy needed to perform daily functions is provided by the carbohydrates. During its absence, the body turns to its reserves of fat to get the energy. You have to be cautious with this diet, because going overboard will mean the loss of that muscle mass you worked so hard to get.

So, the bottom-line is to arm yourself with as much knowledge as you can, before you jump into the dieting bandwagon. Getting professional help is advisable as your diet will have to suit your body and your individual needs.
