Sloppy To Sliced


Shortcuts to packing on new muscle mass and getting ripped to the bone are frequently peddled on late-night TV, but sadly, these feats cannot be accomplished with quick fixes or next-day miracles.

You can, however, implement certain dietary practices that, over time, will guarantee your investment in fitness. Yes, getting in your best shape ever requires hard work in the gym, but without the proper nutrition to fuel your gains, you’re dead in the water. Feeding your body the right way is just a matter of repetition learning and developing the kinds of dietary habits that leave your body with no choice but to respond with cover model-worthy size, strength and detail.

By applying these 6 strategies to your diet, you’ll find that things really do fall into place automatically, even if they don’t happen overnight. Adding new muscle to your frame is an admirable pursuit, but no matter how much weight you lift in the gym, you’ll never obtain that tight, shredded look you covet without chipping away at your bodyfat stores.

Many people mistakenly think that losing fat is simply a matter of exercising more and eating less, yet you can’t afford to arbitrarily hack calories and run until it hurts. It’s about striking a balance. These tips will help you get lean without losing hard-earned muscle.

Use BCAAs to Preserve Muscle

To help prevent catabolism, take 5-10 grams of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) with breakfast as well as before and after training. Ingested preworkout, BCAAs are used by the body as a substitute fuel source so it doesn’t tap into stored muscle protein to get through a session. Also, when you’re going low-carb, BCAAs can better trigger protein synthesis.


Always Feed the Machine

Prolonged low-cal diets end up impairing your metabolism over time. One way to get around these inevitable slowdowns is to eat constantly in small quantities. Consuming multiple small meals each day eating every 1 1/2-2 hours stimulates thermogenesis, which supports metabolism.

While dieting is about restriction, doing so while eating as often as possible allows your body to roll right through potential metabolic slowdowns.


Use Arginine

Taking 3-10 grams of this amino acid an hour before training increases blood flow to the muscles, boosting metabolism and enhancing your pump. It also magnifies the natural growth hormone (GH) burst associated with training, which amps muscle growth and steers the body toward using fat for fuel instead of muscle protein and glycogen.


Add Glutamine and Taurine

These two aminos help maintain your body’s anabolic environment while dieting. When you reduce calories and carbs, cortisol levels often rise. Glutamine interferes with cortisol uptake, staving off protein loss and muscle breakdown. Taken postworkout with fast-digesting carbs, glutamine also assists in recovery by pulling water into muscle cells; it has been found to significantly boost metabolic rate as well.

Another crucial amino acid, taurine enhances water retention within muscles, giving them a greater anabolic edge. Take 5-10 grams of glutamine and 1-3 grams of taurine pre- and post-workout to continue dropping bodyfat.


Stop the Low-Fat/Fat-Free Approach

Strict low-fat diets are for getting lean. When gaining mass, make sure you include olive oil, avocado and whole eggs in your diet, as well as lower-fat not fat-free yogurt, milk and cheese. These types of dietary fats drive growth and recovery. Fat also spares the use of protein as an energy source, meaning the protein you eat is directed to its most crucial role building mass. Fat also supports the natural production of testosterone and GH, two major players in the mass game. Make sure your daily calorie intake is about 30% of calories from fat, mostly from healthy sources such as egg yolks, fatty fish, nuts and seeds.


Make Protein Powder work for you

Protein is nutrient No. 1 when it comes to building mass. To maximize your protein intake, make at least two of your 5-6 daily meals a protein shake. Powders are more readily absorbed than tougher proteins such as meat and poultry, and you can generally control your portion down to the gram. The two most critical times to have protein shakes are right before (20 grams) and after (40-60 grams) workouts.

THE WARRIOR'S WORKOUT. MIND, BODY PUSH!!!




As a former US Army Infantry soldier I can tell you the value of functional fitness. Nowadays I fly in helicopters, but back then I hoofed it everywhere including in some harsh conditions. Yea it sure is nice having all that lean muscle and a set of six pack abs, however when the time comes to use it, will you be ready? Try this hard core full body push/pull super-set "Warrior workout". I call it a mind body push, because your mind will try to get you to give up before your body does...so you got to push through. Good luck.


PUSH/ PULL SUPER-SETS X HEAVY WEIGHT
2x8-12 FOR ALL EXERCISES
* > indicates move directly to next exercise with no rest*

CHEST= INCLINE PRES> SEATED CHEST PRESS> DECLINE wide grip barbell press

BACK= PULL UPS> PULL DOWNS> STANDING ONE ARM CABLE ROWS

SHOULDERS= STANDING PRESS> UPRIGHT ROW> DUMBBELL SIDE RAISES> DUMBBELL FRONT RAISES

LEGS= SQUATS> LYING LEG CURL> LEG EXTENSIONS

TRI-CEPS= STRAIGHT BAR PRESS-DOWNS> V BAR PRESS-DOWNS> OVERHEAD ROPE EXTENSIONS

BI-CEPS= STRAIGHT BAR CURL> ROPE CURL> CABLE DOUBLE BI-CEPS CURL

ABS= THE STACK SUPERSET......high pulley rope cable crunches 10X the weight stack top to bottom.

Finish this workout off with 3 rounds 3 min each of heavy bag work. Hands up high, lots of side to side movement and remember throw your punches in combination.

Jed Hill: Fire Destroyed His House

Photos (c) Jon Malinowski

His gorgeous modeling photos delight his many fans. Top fitness model Jed Hill is well known for his brilliant look, his stunning physique. Now life dealt the 25-year-old athlete a fatal blow. Here Jed tells his story:

"On November 10th, I lost everything I owned (including my dog) in a house fire that was caused by an unknown heating problem. Before the fire, I moved to LA to pursue my modeling and acting career, not knowing anyone or having any family in LA, I was taking a leap of faith so that I can make my family proud. The night of the fire was one of the most devastating nights of my life thus far, it was the first chilly night so I turned on the heat went into the shower. When I came out of the bathroom, my bedroom was up in flames. Not knowing how to react I quickly began to try and put the fire out but it was too late. The heavy dark smoke was blinding and it made it hard to breathe. I was in such shock I couldn't react fast enough to grab my dog before he ran outside with no collar. The smoke finally got to me and I had to get out, watching everything I own and worked so hard for go up in flames in a matter of minutes. It is traumatizing. Having no home insurance I am at a loss for everything."

THE ONE GYM MYTH THAT JUST DOES NOT GO AWAY!


Only using light weights and high reps.....

“Heavy weight just bulks you up,” says the shapeless cardio only gym enthusiast. “Lighter weights with higher reps is what really gets you ripped.” Tsk, tsk tsk. This guy/girl has missed the boat on this one. Mr Nonsense and his amoebic physique have good intentions, but this way of thinking is as archaic as eight-track cassettes. Simply put this is bullshit.

High-rep sets definitely have their place increasing muscular endurance and pump, for instance but they should never be the backbone of your program when you’re trying to get lean & muscular. Sticking to lightweight sets (12-20 reps) for an extended period robs you muscles of what they need most a constant challenge. In the absence of new stimuli, such as constantly increasing weight loads, your muscles will simply grow content and either plateau or backtrack in size and shape. Lifting heavier will help you gain more lean tissue, which allows you to be slightly more metabolic at rest. Plus, heavy training (6-8 reps) increases the total caloric expenditure during and after your workout.

My Best Tip

Base you program on heavy, multi joint lifts such as squats, deadlifts and various presses that recruit and build more total muscle and burn more calories. Use moderate (10-12 reps) and lightweight (12-20 reps) sets to complement your heavy training, not the other way around. Train heavy get the body of your dreams.
