“8 ‘Guaranteed To Work’ Tips to Help You Maximize Your Results In The Gym”

2.    Drink plenty of fluids.  Your muscles are made up of over 70% water.  The least bit of dehydration reduces protein synthesis, zaps muscle strength and inhibits the growth process – not to mention increases your chance for injury.  The cheapest supplement of all – water – should be used extensively.

3.    Train heavy, train smart, and train for growth.  This requires heavy weight with relatively low reps.  By low reps I mean 4 to 6.  That is, use a weight that will allow you to get at least 4 reps but no more than 6.  This is the perfect range for maximizing the muscle growth response.  Also, there is some data that suggests this weight and rep scheme may maximize natural testosterone output.

4.    Challenge yourself.  Always strive to train heavier and reach a new level of intensity.  Muscles adapt rather quickly, but by constantly challenging your limits, your muscles adapt and grow in order to lift the heavier weight.

5.    Train one body part per day.  This allows for greater intensity, shorter workouts, and greater muscle stimulation.  When you train only one body part per workout you are able to harness more mental and physical intensity during that workout.  More intensity equals more growth.

6.    It’s important to supplement on the days you don’t train as well as the days you do.  Your muscles are actually responding to your training in the form of growth on the days you are not training.  It’s important to keep your hormone, protein, and nutrient levels high during this critical recuperation period.

7.    Make the process of achieving your physique-enhancing goals much easier by taking advantage of the latest advancements in sports nutrition.  You probably know that you need a lot of protein in your diet to make major improvements in your physique, but how do you possibly that much protein?  That’s a heck of a lot of chicken breasts and cans of tuna, right?

Before you start thinking there is no way you could eat that way, just hold on a minute. I eat eight meals a day.  They are generally “regular food meals” in which I eat egg whites, chicken breasts, lean meats, etc. All the normal good protein sources.  In addition to those food protein sources, I add one serving of whey protein isolate powder.  Each serving of protein provides 24 grams of protein.  Four servings at 24 grams gives me a total of 96 grams.

If all this is new to you, or even if it isn’t, I recommend that you visit our tips section.  You see, I believe very strongly in these products and their effectiveness.  In my own experience, my progress in building my own physique accelerated unbelievably when I began using these supplements. 

Your body is in a constant flux of protein turnover 24 hours a day.  Whether you weight train or not, your body demands a constant supply of protein to fuel virtually all metabolic processes required for proper health.  The vast majority of people do not eat nearly enough protein.  Now, add training to this equation (weight training and cardiovascular training), and the demand for high-quality protein from your body soars.

It’s no secret that protein builds muscle.  Proper protein consumption should be the number one nutritional concern for the bodybuilder, fitness athlete, or anyone else who is interested in improving their physique in any way.  It is a major determining factor in the results you get from the hours you spend grinding away in the gym.  

Now maybe you think that you can get pretty good results just doing what you’re doing right now.  My answer to that is this:  How do you define “good results?”  Or, let me ask this:  Are you totally satisfied with your progress toward your physique-enhancing goals?  Have you ever felt like there has to be a better way to do this in order to get really incredible results?  Have you ever seen anyone else in the gym that was in much better shape than you and wished that you could, or had already, made the same changes to your body?
