Welcome, hard gainers and occasional exercisers alike, this will be my review of the somanabolic muscle maximizer by kyle leon, which been using for about two months now.Naturally, if I comes across a product that actually works and warrants a review, I will give it one.We all know how hard original products are to come by.I’ve never been one for small talk, so lets get started.

Why most people have a problem with losing weight (and keeping it off)

Let me ask you a question, where do you get most of your weight loss and bodybuilding information from? Magazines,Articles,Videos? No you’re probably thinking, “Isn’t that where everyone gets their information from? ” The answer is yes, even I get my information from these sources,we all do! (so what are you getting at then?)

These sources all provide us with generic information! Think about, you watch a video or read something on weight loss or bodybuilding and what do they tell you? Get sleep, eat your veggies, workout, the usual, right?

But do you get advice on just how YOU should lose weight the best muscle gain diet, weight loss for you, yes you, the person reading this somanabolic muscle maximize review right now? Im willing to guess that you don’t.No you’re probably thinking “wouldn’t I need a personal trainer/nutritionist for that? Heres a secret for you, you don’t,read on…

YOUR solution

What if you had your own personal trainer, and your own personal nutritionist, how much better would that be?Seriously, someone to tell you what to eat, when to eat it, basically hand holding you throughout the entire thing to ensure that YOU lose weight the way your own body is most comfortable with.

Well, that’s where the muscle maximize comes in.It isn’t a person, but software program, right on your computer, that does everything that I just said a personal trainer or nutritionist would do.Think about it for a second

  • No high fees that you would pay for a personal trainer or nutritionist
  • No having to get on the phone every time you want to change something

Just how much better would it be to be able to change up your diet plan on the fly, have flexibility and do It for the fraction of the cost?If that doesn’t sound good to you, you must be a personal trainer youself no wanted to go out of business! Ha, just kidding, but now we know what it is, lets talk more about the somanabolic muscle maximize by kyle leon.

How to Get Ripped – The Definitive Guide To Getting Ripped

That dude you see flexing in the magazine with those muscle striations (lines) going across his chest is ripped because he has a very low amount of body fat. This guide will be the answer to the question “How Do I Get Ripped?” Read on to find out you can to it.

Nutrition

You knew this was coming. Many people say that you diet makes up for upwards of 60% of your weight loss and muscle building. I personally think it’s more like 75%Either way you look at it, you diet plays a very in important role in how to burn fat fat build muscle. Like I said before, you want to keep you body fat very low if you wan to get ripped.

Before you figure out what you need to be eating, you need to know how much of it you need to be eating. You burn fat by burning more calories than you intake. When you do this, your body takes the fat you already have and burns it up as energy. A good rule of thumb to find out how many calories you need to intake for getting ripped is taking your body weight and multiplying it by 10 or 12.

You can also use a calorie calculator to find out how much calories you currently intake. Some calorie calculators also tell you how many calories you should be in taking to lose weight.

 First find out how many calories you intake daily (you can use a calculator for this and then start from thereafter you know how many calories you intake, you now need to know what kind of foods are get for getting ripped, or just weight loss in general.

You want to eat foods that are rich in protein, and not one source of protein either, vary it up. Eat foods like, eggs, lean red, meat, fish and lean poultry. You should be taking in about 1 pound of protein per pound of muscle that you want to build.

Another thing you need a lot of are complex carbs. Complex carbs take longer to digest than other carbs and so are less likely to get stored as fat. Eat food like dark vegetable and fruits, and grain like whole wheat bread, barley and rice.

Ideally, you should be eating 6 meals a day, every 2-3 hours. This way your metabolism will be stable and there will be no spikes in your insulin and blood pressure.

Exercise

No that you have the nutrition part down, lets move on to exercises.When it comes to exercises, you want to do compound exercises, which allow you to do a full range motion and hit multiple muscles.

The Bent Over Row: you need some sort of rolling exercise. The bent over row is a very good rolling exercise because it hits multiple muscles like your back, your core muscles, your hamstrings and shoulders. The more muscles you hit, the more (good) hormones you body releases. To perform a bent over row, simple grab your dumbbell, bend over and assume a squatting position. You then want to “explode up” by using your body weight to get a start on the dumbbell and then pull it up into your chest. I am almost certain I confused you with my explanation, so here is a picture showing what I was trying to get across. Also, fell free to YouTube “bending over row” and see it its done properly

The Deadlift: To perform the deadlift, keep place the dumbbell on the ground and walk up to it. Keep your feet pointing outward. Some people have their shins touch the barbell and some stand about a half step away from it, do whatever works for you. Grip the deadlift with your hands outside your knees, and simple use your knees to stand up with the dumbbell, keep your back straight. Again, feel free to use YouTube

The Clean and Press: The clean and press works out a lot of your upper body.To perform the clean and press, hold a dumbbell straight down and simple “jump” to bring it up, you also want to shrug and then bring the dumbbell to your chest, after that, your simply press by lifting the dumbbell up over your head.

The Bench Press: Im guessing you know how to do a bench press.The are lots of variations to the bench press.You can do it with your elbows I, elbows out, a wide grip, short grip.

Widegrip Pullups: Wide grip pullups help you build good chest muscles.Hold the handles wide an pull up

Dips: Shoud be doing dips with a wide grip as well, keep your elbows in.

Squats: Squats, although we all hate them are perfect for getting ripped because they help your body create the perfect hormonal environment for building muscle.You want to get a dumbbell if normal sqautes are to easy for you, place it on a nice spot on your traps, keep your head up and feet straight out.You can have a wide stance on this or a medium stance.No squat down and keep your ab tight and work your quads on the way up.

That’s really it, getting ripped is very simple guys.Its hard, but simple; have a good diet and work out properly.If you want to customize your diet and workout routine for your body specifically and get ripped even faster, I highly recommend you taking a look at the somanabolic muscle maximizer wich is like your own personal trainer and nutritionist in software form.You can click here to read a review I did for it.

Muscle gain diet – Gain Muscle By Eating The Right Foods

“Abs are made in the kitchen”, “You are what you eat.” Any way you look at it, diet plays an even more important role than exercise when it comes to muscle gain. These are obviously both very important, but a good muscle gain diet will coupled with exercise is the only way to really build muscle fast and go about building lean muscle.

The perfect muscle gain diet must be high in protein and carbs.You may have already learned this in elementary school, but to anyone new who is reading this, protein is needed to build muscle.Carbs are needed for energy.You also need a good amount of healthy fats so that your body burns as energy.If you get in too much of any one of these nutrients, your muscle gain diet will be messed up.I will type up a sample muscle gain diet for you later in this article so you can see how to balance this out.

So before we start with the actual diet meal plan, lets just go over some foods that are perfect for a muscle gain diet and just healthy living in general.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Extra virgin olive oil carries the “healthy fats” that I mentioned ealier.That fats from this oil will prevent heart diseases and other ailments like cancer.If you don’t already have this is your muscle gain diet, you need to add it, this stuff is really good.Try it on your salads.

Lean Read meat – Lean red meat is rich in all kinds of nutrients like protein, iron, vitamin b12 and creatine.This is perfect for muscle building and its also tasty(its meat!).

Oats – Oats provides your body with the right kinds of carbs, complex carbs.Complex carbs are digested slowly by your body and so are less likely to be stored as fat.

Water – you knew this was coming, I shoulve listed it as the first food to stress its importance, but your already know how important water is.By drinking lots of water, your body holds less of it (this is a good thing) and you lose weight faster.If you don’t drink enough water, your body goes into survival mode and goes into a state of water retention.You do not want this, itll make you look and feel bloated.

Quinao – This is  a super grain, with more fiber and protein than rice and oats.It also is a lot tastier and theres no gluten in it.This may sound strange to you, but when it comes to quinoa, the whiter the grain, the healthier it is.

Green tea – The reason you always here the words green tea tossed around in health circles iis because this stuff Is really good for you.It contains antioxidants and also makes you go to the bathroom more, which is good because your body is constantly getting rid.On top of that, green tea also prevents cancer.If you can, try to drink your green tea with sugar, as these are considered “empty carbs”

Sample muscle gain diet

You want to be eating about 5-6 meals a day, as this will create the perfect fat burning and muscle gain environment.Here is a sample muscle gain diet that you can try out for yourself.Truly the best way to build muscle.

Meal 1 :

1/2 cup Egg substitute

21 grams Protein powder

1 cup Skim Milk

1 cup Oatmeal

2 tsp Olive, Flax or Salmon Oils

Meal 2 :

Get In Shape – The Right Way To Do It

For people who want to get in shape, the advice is pretty straightforward; eat right and exercise, right? But just how do you go about doing these things the right way? Read on my soon to be very healthy friend.

Your diet/Nutrition

As far as nutrition is concerned, you want to lower your caloric intake in order to lose weight. That coupled with working out and you are destined to get in shape.

Ideally you should be eating 6 – 8 meals a day. Whether you are the busiest person in the world or unemployed, you need to be eating 5-6 meals a day if you really want to get in shape and it’s not as hard as you think either.

First off, you obviously want to get lots and lots of water. Keep a two-liter bottle handy. Canned foods are your friend, yes I know I said canned foods, lets be realistic, in this day and age, how has time to shop and cook everyday? Just look for canned foods that are low in sodium and you should be fine.

You can also get some dried organic fruits and store them in a container. You need to have some form of complex carbs in your diet and for this rolled oats are fine.

Eat vegetables, they can be frozen vegetables. Warm them up in the microwave prior to eating and add flavor to them by using a low fat sauce like low fat spaghetti sauce.

Most of these foods I just listed can be stored in your trunk, locker, desk etc. It should not be hard to get in 6 meals a day. It should not be taking your more than 10 minutes to eat. Eating healthy is a sacrifice that you have to make if you truly want to get in shape, so stop complaining.

Exercising

Cardio: A considerable amount of your workout routine should be allotted for cardio. If you are working out for 30 minutes, about 10-15 minutes of that should be cardio. If you’re just starting out and find you tire quickly, there’s no shame in that, because soon enough you will be able to do much more work.

If you tire quickly simply walk at a brisk pace for 15 mins and that will get the job done. If slow walking isn’t enough of a challenge for you, a 15-minute job will be just fine. If the weather outside is bad or you simply just don’t want to go outside, a very cheap solution to get some indoor cardio work done is that device we all know and love, the jump rope.

When it comes to jumping rope you don’t need to be doing boxer tricks to get a good workout, a normal jump rope would be just fine. If you know how to double jump and twist and all of that stuff rocky does, then go ahead.

Strength Training: I’m trying to keep this guide as simple as possible and so, ill try to keep weights out of. When it comes to strength training, there are 3 workouts I recommend that are simple and easy.

The Pushup: We all know what a pushup is. If you cant do regular pushups yet, get to pillows, place them on the ground, and do them that way.

The Crunch: This is NOT a sit up. A crunch is done by assuming the same position you would with a sit-up and then “crunching” by keeping you lower back on the ground but raising your torso.

The Pull-up: A lot of people struggle with pull-ups when they first start and that perfectly fine because I have just the solution for you. They’re called negative pull-ups and you perform those by getting a chair or bench that you can use to raise yourself to the bar. When you are at the top, simple bring your knees up and lower yourself using only your muscles. Keep this up and soon enough you will be able to do a normal sit-up.

If you are serious about getting in shape, then I highly recommend you take a look at the somanabolic muscle maximize. Don’t let the name fool you, this is not only for people who want to build muscle, it is also perfect for those who just want to get in shape. Its like having your own personal trainer or nutritionist in your pocket, and works for busy people. I highly recommend it. You can read my Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer Review over here.

Everything You Need To Know About The Muscle Maximizer

Yea yea yea, another fitness program review, I know it seems like a new one pops up every freaking hour or so but seriously, the only reason I’m sharing this review with you guys is because I saw some results and now want to pass on the knowledge.

Kind of like that feeling you get when you do something that makes your proud and then you go tell the entire world, yea that.

Oh yea, and contrary to popular belief, About ¼ of the people I know who use this program are girls, so ladies, you might wanna stick around for this “The Muscle Maximizer Review.”

I honestly do not think that there is anything else like the muscle maximizer out there and here’s why. The Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer, is fully customizable, personal tool that tell YOU what do to lose weight, think of it as like having your own personal nutritionist without the high price tag and measuring tape.

The tool works with your body not any one else, this isn’t a “one size fits all,” because when it comes to weight loss programs, no one size fits all (pun intended).

The tool works by using tested formulas uses different elements to customize your national profile to suit you. Some of the elements taken into consideration are: How old you are, how much you weigh, your height, and metabolism.

This makes your nutritional profile, basically like your guidebook to losing weight. Its pretty simple, (hard, but simple) you do what the Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer tells you, and you lose weight. I like to call that the law of inevitability.

Some of you may know about your body’s “anabolic windows” as they are called, some of you may not. Our anabolic windows are basically periods of time during which our bodies are most receptive to nutrients, the times you get the most “bang for your buck”, so to speak.

We have about 2 anabolic windows a day, and what is cool about SMM is that it takes advantage and leverages that so you not what to do and when to do it. Your body needs different amounts of energy on different days guys.

For example, if today is a workout day, you will obviously need to eat different types of/more food. That goes the other way around as well, you’re having do of light work, less energy and different foods need to be eaten.

You don’t want to eat a ton of food high in carbs and then not burn them, that is how you get fat, my friends. Another tings about light days is that they are also the days you are resting, and you have to eat certain foods that will repair the muscle tissues faster than other foods. Different foods affect our bodies in different ways; it’s just a matter of known what to eat when (Kind of like how there a plant/plant tea for everything).

A bunch of charts and graphs make all of this very easy to understand and for you to see your progress.

If you are seriously willing to work hard and build some muscle, or just slim down, and follow your nutritional profile provided by the Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer, then I see you losing weight, turning heads, and getting the compliments. Like I said, its not easy, but its pretty simple.

Even if don’t know your somatype (body type and physical traits), the program will take you through step by step so you kind find it out.

When it comes to the actual foods you eat, the SMM database has over 1400 foods to choose from. It does provide you with 3 meal plans to choose from everyday, but hey, you don’t like the food? Pick something else in the database that you prefer, and still lose weight.

I see this tool working for everyone. If you are working on a low budget, this is perfect for you, and the course itself is only $47.00

The busy body college student who is always on the fly and never has to time to setup a diet plan for your, use the Mucle Maximizer to setup a nutritional profile and follow it, its that simple.

For lady who is tired of fad diets and wants to do something that works, this Is perfect for you, no fad diets here.

This course is amazing and I think you should make a commitment to yourself to invest in it and see how it helps you out.

Burn fat build muscle – The Safest and Easiest Way To Do It

Fat has to be burned first in order for your muscles to show. The best way to burn fat, build muscle is be having the best diet and exercise setup.

The diet is actually more important that the exercise, but they are both needed nonetheless. Lets dive right into this so you can learn how to burn fat, build muscle the right way.

Diet

When it comes to your diet, its all about getting the right amount of nutrients in your body, not everyone is good at this and a lot of people have crappy diets and cheat themselves and then wonder why they aren’t building any muscle.

First things first, if you want to be a fat burning machine, you need to be eating 5-6 small meals a day.

It doesn’t matter if you have 3 jobs or think you cannot do it. If you truly want to burn fat, build muscle you will find someway to have 5-6 small meals a day, even if it means eating it in the bathroom.

That may be a bit gross, but if that is what it takes, hey, sacrifices need to be made. You want to have that body that turns heads then you need to pay the price.

Also, eating that many small meals a day is not as hard as you think.

Food like canned foods, bottles of water, oats, dried fruits, protein powder and sauces, can all be kept in a trunk or locker.

Those are really all you need. From these foods you get Water, a good source of protein, your needed carbs and also healthy fats.

Those are really all you need to burn fat, build muscle if you don’t have time to go out and buy some health foods or go into the kitchen all the 5-6 times a day.

If you do however, have to time to do these things, you get the privilege of having some tastier foods. Here are some foods that are perfect for a muscle gain diet.

Eggs – Eggs are a good source of protein, which we all know is needed for building muscle

Whole wheat bread – Really good source of carbs that are used as energy.

Wheat pasta – Another great source of carbs. You can add flavor to your pasta by adding on some low fat pasta sauce.

Lean meats – Lean red meat, lean poultry and wild fish are great sources of protein.

These by no means are all of the healthy food you can eat to burn fat, build muscle, but it’s a start and all you need to get started.

Exercise

Now that we have the diet part down, its time for us to talk about exercise. You want to be working out for cardio and strength. Cardio will burn fat off your body while strength training builds muscle.

For cardio, you need to be doing about 10-15 minutes a day. You can start off with taking brisk walk every morning, or jogging, or even jumping rope if you want a more indoor option. Listen to some music, make it fun!

Strength training – This is where all the muscle are built. Cardio does in fact build muscle, but its used more for burning fat and for getting a healthy heart.

When it comes to strength training, you want to be doing lots and lots of compound movements, which are exercises that work out a wide range of muscles and create the perfect hormonal environment for burning fat, building muscle. Some compound movements are squats, ben presses, pull-ups.

Work out every 3 days and give your muscles time to rest.

If you are truly serious about burning fat and building muscle fast, then you should take a look at my somanabolic muscle maximizer review

Building Muscle Fast – 7 Tips on How To Do it The Safe and Easy Way

 Lets face it; we all want to build muscle as fast and as healthy ad possible. Now that being said, building muscle fast does NOT mean going into the gym and hauling weights like you’re the hulk.

Neither does it mean spending 3 hours a day in the gym like it’s your freaking job. Now when it comes to building muscle fat, I will not be writing on how to build 20 pounds of muscle in a week, but the 7 muscle building tips I will provide here will definitely help you build LONG TERM, REAL muscle faster than most of the other people out there who go full Rambo in the gym.

Tip 1 – Compound Movements

That’s right; bench presses are your friend. So are leg presses and squats. Now don’t get me wrong, you certainly can build muscle with isolation type exercises, and in fact, I recommend you do the isolated exercises after you have done some compounds, that way you can really get targeted and hit the areas you want to focus on most, but doing only isolation exercises will take a much longer time to build muscles but we are interested in building muscle fast. So do less of these:

  • Concentration curls
  • Tricep Kickbacks
  • Leg Extensions
  • Cable Crossovers
  • Tricep push-downs

And do more of these:

  • Bench press: this hits your triceps (use an in grip to include your tri’s), chest AND shoulders.
  • Military press
  • Squats

Tip 2 – Do the exercises the RIGHT WAY

And you may be thinking to yourself, “I already know what the right way is, lemme skip this one.” But do you really? How many times have you gone to the gym and seen guys just bouncing the barbell off their chest like it’s a freaking basketball. If you’ve never seen one of those guys, you probably are him. That guy next to you who is lifting 100 pounds more than you can do that because he has been working out longer than you have, work hard, the right way, and you’ll be lifting that much in no time.

Tip 3 – Get your set/reps right (VERY IMPORTANT)

When it comes to sets and reps, you want to do 2-3 sets per exercise and as far as reps go, you want to do 6-12.This setup build, BOTH strength and muscle. When it comes to total amount of sets per workout session, 10-12 MAX.

That guy in the magazine who tells you he spends 3 hours on the gym and does 20 sets, guess what, he’s on the juice.

If you want to do this naturally, 10-12 sets. This workouts best if you do split workouts; so one day you can workout chest triceps and shoulders, and another day you can do your biceps and back, another day can be for your legs.

Tip 4 – Stop over training

Including the time it takes you to warm up, you should be out of the gym in 45 minutes to an hour. Spending any more than and hour in the gym will start releasing cortisol, which will basically REVERSE all the hard work you’ve done over the weeks and start breaking down your muscle and using it for energy, its called the stress hormone, and working out for more than and hour is stressful on your body. The key is to stimulate your muscles, not kill them altogether. GET IN GET OUT.

Tip 5 – Get enough rest.

Every muscle group that you workout, should be allowed to rest for more than 2 days (I personally rest mine from 4-5 days).

This doesn’t mean that you wait 5 days to go to the gym, I mean that if you workout your upper body one day, let that muscle group rest for 3-4 days until you can hit it again, you can still exercises your legs the following day. Keep this cycle going in order to build muscle fast.

Tip 6 – Have a plan: form over function

If you have a routine that you follow and STICK TO, then building muscle fast will be no problem. Don’t just run into the gym and exercises sporadically, picking up ever weight in sight and thinking you’re getting something done. Have a plan. Get 1.5 of protein per pound of body weight. Commitment to a gym workout plan, and some patience, and you’re good.

Tip 7 – Setup your own personal routine

In order to build muscle fast and get in shape, you need to know how your body works and need to setup your own personal diet and routine. To do this, I recommend you reading my somanabolic muscle maximizer review, which is basically a pocket personal trainer and nutritionist that will ensure you build muscle fast.

Building Muscle – Everything You Need To Now About Muscle Building and How To Get Started

Click Here To Read My Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer Review

 

When it comes to building muscle there is so much information out there, and even more varying views.

It is very easy for someone to get caught up or even confused, heck, some of my friends just gave up telling me that “they didn’t know where to start because there was simple to much information out there, and so, I decided to write this articles for my friends, but also for you, reader, the one reading it right now who wants to learn about building muscle.

Ill try to list all I know and learned over the years in this articles, but ill also try to keep it at medium length so I don’t put you to sleep. The tips aren’t in any specific order by the way

Keep your testosterone levels UP, insulin DOWN

You may think that I am just stating the obvious here when I say keep your testosterone up and insulin down, but I listed this as a tip because you may be doing things that lower your test levels without even knowing it, like working out for more than an hour in the gym, or not resting in between days.

Studies have shown that after working out for and hour in the gym, your body’s testosterone levels start to plummet and your cortisol levels start to rise.

Cortisol is your worst enemy because what it does is it burns your muscle and uses it as energy, and it stores fat on top of that.

Another thing I talked about is rested. I personally workout every other day.

So I start on Monday, then again Tuesday then again on Thursday and so on. Do not overwork your muscles guys, muscles need time to heal; that is how they get bigger after all.

They don’t grow when you work out, they grow when you let them heal and recover, always remember that.

Now, I always say that you need to spend no more that an hour at the gym (I personally spend 45 minutes in there), you may think this is impossible, its not.

I do this by working out different muscle groups on different days.

So if I workout my chest triceps and shoulders on one Monday, I wont hit them until the following Monday. That Tuesday I might workout my legs, and so on.

Have The Right Mindset

Building Muscle Is hard Work, it is not for wimps or chumps who want to workout for 1 month and then give up. Even if you’re not aspiring to lose weight and just want to slim down and get a six pack, you still have to work hard.

Another thing I want to talk about are your expectation, please keep them within a realistic range.

Wanting to build 30 pounds of muscle in one year (naturally) is unrealistic, even if you’re a newbie and that will just be setting yourself up for disappointment.

Arnold Schwarzenegger once said that if you can build 10 pounds of muscle in a year, you’re on the right track.

That guy in the magazine or on TV or wherever, who’s telling you he put on 30 pounds of lean muscle in a year is either lying or on the juice. Take before and after pictures. I can’t even stress how important taking photos or video is.

This will give you the needed motivation to keep on going. That coupled with the compliments you’ll be getting will definitely fuel your through your journey of building muscle.

 

Don’t over-train, don’t under-train

I’m guessing you have already heard the saying “no pain, no gain. “I half agree with that saying, I find it to be a double-edged sword.

The pain you want to go through is that burning sensation you get when you are approaching or have approached your maximum. I am not talking about pain from injury, or pain from overworking yourself.

When you’re in the gym, you should go to failure, ALWAYS.I mean think about it, if you keep doing the same amount of lifting, how do you expect to build muscle. Muscle is built when a muscle fiber has a micro tear that gets replaced by stronger muscle after it adapts.

That tear will only occur if you keep training over you normal “limit. “I put limit in quotes because what you think is your limit, most of the time isn’t. On the other hand, you do not want to over-train yourself.

If you feel like you have gone to failure and literally CANNOT lift anymore, take a rest and come back another day after you have rested, that new muscle fiber will be ready to take a pounding.

Don’t be a supplement junkie

You don’t need a million supplements to help you with building muscle. Hard work and a good diet does that, however, some supplements I would recommend would be a good whey protein, creatine, omega 3’s and a good post workout supplement.

Vary Up Your Protein Sources

Don’t only get you protein from that shake; neither should you only get it from eating chicken. Vary up your protein sources. Eat lean red meat, lean poultry, fish and eggs.

Eat More of The right types of carbs

Eat a lot of fresh fruit like apples, pears oranges grapefruits. The darker the color of the fruit, the better in terms of carbs.

Also eat grain like barley, oat bran, sweet potatoes and beans, and you need to get your vegetable in as well for some complex carbs. Eat lots of celery, garlic, onions, broccoli, asparagus, again, the darker, the higher the nutritional value.

Eat smaller meals throughout the day

I know you might have a job and find it hard to eat 5-6 meals a day, but if that the case, try to snack on something healthy (like a peanut butter sandwich) as much as possible throughout the day. Spread the meals at least 2-3 hours apart.

Keep Going

Do not give up. If you persevere and have patience, you will be the one getting all the compliments and turning all the heads.

Building lean Muscle – The Right Way To Do It

Click Here To Read My Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer Review

 

In order to build lean muscle, you need to do three things very well:

1. You need to eat right and get enough carbs and protein in your diet

2. You need to do some kind of cardio training

3. You need to do some kind of strength training

Having the right diet

Okay so first things first, you want to be getting in about 5-6 small meals a day, this is very important.

There is nothing but good that can come from this, trust me. Eating 3 large meals a day spikes your body’s sugar levels and also interferes with your metabolism.

On the other hand, eating 5-6 small meals a day will increase your nutrition oxidation levels, which just means at absorbing nutrients and burning fat.

Another very important thing is just how much you take in of a nutrient. The best nutrient setup as far as ratio goes is 40% protein, 40% carbohydrates and 20% healthy fats. For good sources of protein, I recommend eating lots of lean meats and wild fish.

Dairy products like eggs and milk are also an excellent sources of protein but some people are allergic to dairy without even knowing it so you might want to find that out first.

Good sources of carbs are foods like wheat and brown rice. Whole wheat bread and wheat pasta are also great sources of complex carbs.

Complex carbs are better for you because they take longer to digest and so they are less likely to be stored as fat.

Strength Training

For strength training you can keep it very simple by doing pushups, crunches and pull-ups. These are all compound exercises that workout a whole range of muscles instead of just one muscle. The more muscles you work out, the more fat burning hormones your body releases that burn fat all day round even when you aren’t working out.

Strength training is crucial in building lean muscle because it creates the perfect metabolic environment for building lean muscle; the faster your metabolism, the easier you can go about building muscle fast.

Cardio

Cardio is where the calorie burning really gets done and in order to be building lean muscle in the right way, you need to be burning more calories than you consume daily and cardio is perfect for this.

For cardio I recommend doing a 15-30 minute jog. If a jog tires you out within the first 5 minutes, you should do a brisk walk instead.

If you are really serious about building lean muscle, I highly recommend you check out my review for the somanabolic muscle maximizer. It is basically like having your own personal trainer and nutritionist in your pocket. Building lean muscle is all about doing what works for you and this is what this tool is about.

Best Way To Build Muscle

Click Here To Read My Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer Review

When it comes to building muscle it seems like there are a thousand conflicting ideas doesn’t it. I personally go for the broscience approach and that is what ill be using today; what I’ve learned over the years that I’ve been lifting.

For those of you who don’t know what bro science is, it’s the name given to practical, TESTED methods that are passed on from guys who have built real muscle.

You wouldn’t want to be taking advice from some 150-pound guy dressed in a lab coat reading out of some textbook, would you? Lets start.

Diet (a typical bodybuilders diet)

When if comes to building muscle, the best way to build muscle is to setup a ratio of Protein (40%), Carbs (40%) and HEALTHY Fats (20%). Trust me, this ratio is crucial. If you eat too many carbs without any protein, your body will go into a catabolic state and start storing any carbs that weren’t used as fat.

Carbs are needed for energy, not only energy for you to workout, but also energy for protein to be absorbed properly, so on the other hand if you eat too much protein and not too many carbs, you simply wont have enough energy to turn that protein into muscle, and if you eat too many fats, you know what happens (you get fat!).

Another thing you have to make sure you do is have to do is have more smaller meals everyday. Six meals spread two hours apart are best.

This will keep your metabolism stable, which is turn helps you burn, a lot of fat longer. It will also keep your insulin levels low which would create the best environment to lose weight.

This is that meal plan that has worked for me:

For my 1st meal, I have a cup of rolled oats with water.Sometimes I add my protein powder to the oats, then add water and eat it like that or sometime I have the oats with water and then drink the protein powder separately after mixing it in a glass of water. The oats will give you all of the complex carbs you need and from the protein powder you get your needed protein.

Second meal I have another cup of rolled oats with a cup of protein powder. It might seem boring, but I’m concerned about building muscle and nothing else.

Third Meal I have about 6 ounces of lean salmon (any good fish will do) with a cup of oatmeal or a medium baked sweet potato.

Fourth Meal: ground flaxseed with rice and some protein powder. You don’t need to mix these things together; you can have them separately, but just make sure you eat them as a part of the same meal (your fourth meal)

Fifth: A cup of brown rice with vegetables (you can microwave some frozen veggies for this) with 6 ounces of lean chicken breast.

Sixth: Rolled oats with protein powder (same as meal 2)

Supplements

This topic is obvious a touchy one and all that really comes to my mind right now is “to each his own. “For me personally, all I use is a good whey protein and creatine. You might want to use a good testosterone booster if you’re and older guy.

Working out

This is the heart of it all right. You can have to best diet out there, but without the hard work, you wont be able to build any muscle. I

’ve said these before on here, but when it comes to working out, they few tips I can provide are:

Get in and get out of the gym: Working out for longer than one hour in the gym forces your body to release cortisol which is basically a fat storing hormone that destroys all of the muscle that you just worked hard to build (and all of the muscle you have built already) and uses it up as energy since you’ve been going at it for so long.

No matter how much you love working out, if you really love building muscle, then you will be out of the gym within and hour tops.

Next thing I have for you is that you should be doing split training.

I basically train on a four day split which means that if I workout my upper body today, I wont be hitting my upper body again until for day later.

You still get to workout 3 or however many time your workout per week, but by doing this you give your muscles enough rest to recover.

By the way, muscle is built during the recovery stage, and not while you are working out, so you need to rest.

Test out 3,4 and maybe even 5 day splits to see what works best for you.

Some people recover quicker than others, so test this out for yourself.

Here are some of the best exercises for the different muscle groups

Chest: Flat Barbell Bench Press

Back: Pull-ups, wide grip lat pull-downs

Shoulders: Barbell Shoulder press

Biceps: Hammer curls

Quads: Squats

Hamstrings: glute ham raise

Calves: standing calve raises

Abs: ball crunch, cross body crunch

Triceps: Bench dips

That’s pretty much it guys. This is the best way to build muscle. Just follow the advice, and take action, don’t just sit around all day reading, that’s not going to build muscle, is it?

If you are truly serious about the best way to build muscle, then I highly recommend you take a look at the somanabolic muscle maximizer by kyle Leon. It is like having your own personal trainer/nutritionist in your pocket. You should definitely check out the review I did for it over here.
