TERRIFYING TRAPS

How To Build Traps So Big They're Scary

The traps are a large and powerful muscle. They can also be an awesome sight. Huge hulking trapezius are a statement. They exude power. You don't get hefty traps by playing sports. You get them by lifting weights!

The traps or trapezius muscles are located at the upper portion of your back connecting into the neck and shoulder muscles. Although the exercise most commonly utilized for training traps is the "shrug," the traps are incorporated in just about every movement that requires lifting. Deadlifts, presses, snatches, rows, and even curls require the traps to do some work by assisting and stabilizing the muscles which are more directly worked.

ARE YOU WORKING YOUR BICEPS TO THEIR FULLEST?


(You May be Surprised)

There'll be no preface to this article. There isn't any need to discuss the appeal of the bicep muscle and its importance to one's overall appearance. Everyone already knows that. Instead, let's get right to the point: Biceps training is probably the most simple form of all bodybuilding exercise, yet thousands of bodybuilders fail to stimulate bicep growth with ample success. There's a reason for that. There's also a solution. If you're among those who never seem to get a good bicep pump and would like to rectify the situation, read on.

How are your calves? Mine suck. Actually, by normal people's standards, they're pretty good. But by bodybuilding standards...well, let's just say that Dorian Yates wouldn't be intimidated by a toe-to-toe comparison.

So if my calves are only "so so", what makes me qualified to write an article on calve training? Doesn't it make more sense to hear from someone with extraordinary calves? Ironically, anyone with outstanding calve development is the last person to be giving advice on improving the lower leg. They're the ones who have it easy – the lucky few born with lots of fast twitch fibers in the lower legs. That's because, more than any other muscle group, the size and shape of one's calves is determined by heredity. People with a genetic disposition for shapely muscular calves need only to walk and their calves will look good. Bastards.

Perfect Pecs In Just 20 Minutes a Week

For most bodybuilders, the chest raesponds faster and more favorably than any other bodypart. That's due mostly to the fact that the pectorals are made up of type II
(white) muscle fibers. These muscles are characterized by their fast speed of contraction and their high capacity for anaerobic glycolysis. In other words, they're easy to "pump."

Another reason why the chest is quickly developed is because the pectoral muscles are rarely stressed to any great extent in most daily activity, so once they're subjected to the stress of lifting heavy iron, they explode with growth! Some theorists believe it may be simply that the chest is so close to the heart, allowing for instantaneous blood flow. At any rate, if the chest is so easily developed, why is it that so few people have great looking chests?

BIGGER AND BETTER

It's time to come clean. For the most part, training articles are designed to be page fillers. I can sum up every training article in three sentences:

Pick weight up. Put weight down. Repeat.

That's about it folks – which is what makes me crazy when I hear about exercise experts, or worse "strength coaches" who devise "secret programs" that promote MIND BLOWING MUSCLE GROWTH! Most workout routines have absolutely no science behind them. They can't – building muscle isn't an exact science.

Most of the time, the articles that appear in print are just a bunch of "made up" stuff. And do you know who strength coaches are? They're usually whomever the magazines declare an authority. Quite often they're just muscular guys who lend their names to the by-line and the articles are actually written by a fat, bald ghost writer.

THE BODYBUILDING TRUTH - Can You Handle It?

It's a fact: Most of the information you've read about building a better body is a lie. The reason is simple. Bodybuilding results are limited – for everyone. As much as we all would like to believe it's an endless pursuit with unlimited opportunity for growth, it is most definitely finite. There is only so much one can do to develop their body to its utmost potential. Yet bodybuilding is also a business, and as with any business, revenue must be obtained.

Therefore, it's necessary to provide the buying public with new incentives, new products, new anything – as long as it can be sold. What's more, much of the so- called information you'll find in magazines and websites is manipulative prattle which isn't especially effective and at times, detrimental. Nevertheless, it's propagated for profit.
