Are You Suffering From Anabolic Slowdown?

Let me guess, you’re probably thinking “What the heck is Anabolic Slow Down?”

With your weight training experience you probably already know what I’m talking about…you just didn’t know it had a name.

Simply put, you just can’t continue to gain pounds and pounds of muscle year after year.  In fact, if you stop and think about it, when was the last time you really gained a serious amount of noticeable muscle?

Probably been a while hasn’t it?

Can you remember the last time you really grew and added serious muscle mass and serious strength? If it’s been a while then you know something has happened to slow down your gains.

It’s commonly referred to as a plateau but nobody seems to be able to explain exactly what causes it.

Well Brad Pilon thinks it’s something called “Anabolic Slow Down”.

You know this happens and you probably feel like you’re taking crazy pills because it seems like nobody else in the fitness and muscle building industry ever talks about it.

But don’t worry, you’re not the only one, this happens to EVERYONE who is an experienced lifter.

The bottom line:

Everybody who trains hard enough eventually suffers from Anabolic Slowdown which is a combination of metabolic, mechanical and physiological reactions to weight training that make it next to impossible to gain any more muscle.

And this doesn’t mean your workout isn’t effective, it’s actually quite the opposite. The better your workout is the faster you will reach this advanced plateau state called anabolic slow down.

So how do you know if you have anabolic slow down?

Well Brad Pilon is about to blow the lid off of the bodybuilding and supplement industry on thurs June 10^th when he talks for the first time about Anabolic Slow Down and the Anabolic Continuum.

But most importantly you’re going to learn a radical new approach to busting through muscle building plateaus.

Based on a well studied but seldom talked about field of research he has developed a new tool; an assessment guide to determine if you’re suffering from anabolic slow down.

First of all this guide is the first and only one of its kind and probably one of the most important documents you’ll ever read if you take your muscle building seriously and want to ignite new muscle growth.

Secondly and most importantly this Thursday June 10^th is the exclusive teleseminar about anabolic slow down, the anabolic continuum and the new strategy Brad has developed to overcome the problem of anabolic slow down.

This is a MUST ATTEND event, you simply cannot miss this one. This is a free teleseminar and probably the only one that will ever be free so get in and secure your spot while you still can.

I think there are 2000 spots available and from what I’ve heard they’ll be filling up fast.

Simply go to this link and sing up for your free copy of the assessment guide(read it and fill it out before the teleseminar) and secure your spot on the Teleseminar.

3 Great Reasons Why Intermittent Fasting Is A Good Idea!

You may not have heard of intermittent fasting, and so you may not know why it can and should be a part of your workout and fat loss plan. Intermittent fasting is the practice of abstaining from all but water for a period of usually 24 hours to help with the goals associated with fat loss and weight loss in general. The way in which it helps in this arena is by cutting out a full days caloric intake, while still being able to maintain a full workout schedule. Let’s look at three main reasons I believe that intermittent fasting is a good idea for anyone serious about fat loss and muscle building!

The primary reason I’m fond of a workout plan that involves intermittent fasting is that it promotes maximum fat loss. Most people employ these types of fasts two days a week while working out, and this means they are effectively cutting out a full two days caloric intake from their weekly consumption. This combined with your workout can and does have a dramatic effect on the pace at which you lose excess fat. By working out while doing these fasts, you are attacking your goals with a two-edged sword, slashing it from both ends of the spectrum.

The second reason would be that this type of fasting allows you to maintain a moderate to intense workout load while still maintaining your energy and metabolism. Many people think that fasting drains both of these aspects, and while that is true for other, particularly longer fasts, for intermittent fasting the opposite has proven to be the case. You often have more energy and a higher metabolism while engaged in this type of fasting, making it the best of both worlds. Many other fasts are so debilitating that you are left at the end of the day so drained you are unable to do anything. Intermittent fasting is not like that at all.

The third reason why I believe intermittent fasting is a good practice to include in your workout plan is that it has beneficial aspects to it that are a little less easy to see, but of great benefit all the same. There is a cleansing of your system that takes place with any fast, as your body adjusts to less content being put into it. There are also undeniable psychological benefits, such as a very affirming sense of accomplishment that can help you in many areas of your life. Knowing that you are not a slave to food is a major part of that.

I’m a firm advocate of intermittent fasting as a way of enhancing your fat loss and workout routines. There is in my mind no faster way of getting maximum fat loss while still being able to handle a full workout load. Investigate it today. I think you might be surprised at the results you’ll come up with!

Brad had created a workout/intermittent fasting program second to none. Check it out. It is called Eat Stop Eat

Top 5 Weight loss Strategies

Losing weight sounds simple but it can get confusing if you don’t know where to start. This is the top 5 most important things you can do to lose weight and keep it off.

1. Eat Less – This one sounds obvious but it can’t be stressed enough. The only way to lose weight is burn more calories than you consume. One easy way of doing this is eating less. As a matter of fact the only way any of the popular diets cause weight loss is because you end up eating less while you follow them. It doesn’t matter if the diet is low carb, high protein or low fat. As long as you are eating less calories than your basal requirement you will lose weight. The easiest and most effective calorie reducing system I have come across is Eat Stop Eat by Brad Pilon.
2. Do High Intensity Exercise – High intensity whole body circuit training will ensure that you are burning lots of calories and working all the muscles in your body. This works better than traditional ‘cardio’ workouts for 2 reasons. First high intensity circuits burn more calories than ‘cardio’ can. Two, they build and tone muscle which keeps your metabolism up.
3. Get A Weight Loss Team – Social Support is the most important factor to realizing your weight loss goals. Get as many of your close friends and family on your side as possible. The more people that are pulling for your success the better. Make sure you always have at least two or three people to call that will help keep you on track when you feel like skipping a workout or cheating on your nutrition plan.
4. Eat more Fruits And Vegetables – This seems a bit simple but its one of the most effective things you can do to lose weight. Fruits and veggies take up lots of space in your stomach and fill you up without adding too many calories. They will also take the place of some high sugar and high fat foods you may have eaten instead.
5. Set Short Term Goals – Short term goal setting is often overlooked and is a powerful tool to realizing your eventual long term weight loss goal. Set multiple and attainable short term goals, and the shorter the better. At the start set goals for each day, morning evening and night. Set short term goals for finishing each one of your workouts, as well as for eating your fruits and vegetables. Set them each day, and mark it down each time you achieve one. As you build up your list of goals you have accomplished you will build up confidence and momentum towards your overall long term weight loss goal. Keep the list somewhere safe and keep marking down each goal as you achieve it. After a few weeks you should have a nice looking list of accomplishments to be proud of. Remember, every little bit counts.

Put these 5 strategies into effect and you will be well on your way to achieving your weight loss goals in record time.

About 6 months ago, I started working out with a great friend who introduce me to body weight workouts with particular attention to a LOT of pushups with a pushup board. I never realized that there were so many kinds of push ups possible. Overhanded, underhanded, hindu,  dive through, scorpion, and more! Oh, you can use a pushup board to do more than just pushups too. One of the worst (or best as you may see it) is a bear squat. Lately, CRay has been, creating all sorts of new twists.

One of the best parts of working out with the pushup board is the variety that you can do with one simple piece of equipment. The seemingly infinite variety allows workouts to be changed ever so slightly. Each little change works the same muscles in a different way creating a much stronger body by challenging the muscle fibers is so many ways. It’s amazing that even after 6 months of working out 3 times a week (ok, so I didn’t quite make all of them) I still get sore every week! Just an indication to me that the workouts are still working.

Here’s a link to CRay’s new website where you can see some of his torture, I mean workout, equipment. Visit RipThatBod.com to see some REALLY cool workout gear designed to maximize your workouts in the least amount of time. CRay designed most if not all of it too! If you are ready to Rip that Bod, especially with a Pushup Board, this is the place to visit RipThatBod.com

Here’s a sample of just a few of the exercises that you can do with a Pushup Board Give it a try, you’ll be glad you did!
