Quality of Food and Staying Natural

Being a natural bodybuilder is very important in terms of health for look, good health and longevity. Not only bodybuilding matter of fact even if you weight train for fitness. When you train natural you will not be able to gain muscles rapidly compared to someone on steroids. With time you will put on muscle and the best thing able training natural is muscle memory which I have already done an article on. Second thing is you keep the gains what you worked hard for hour after and session after session.

You need not put dangerous toxins and steroids into your body and compromise on your health and life span. Also stay away from useless supplements which hardly work. Nothing beats wholesome food; there is no substitute for it. Steroids or any other performance enhancing substance isn’t something which you really shouldn’t be fancying with. Train hard and heavy eat wholesome food with lots of veggies and meat, you will be able to build a good physique and also be healthy with is vital on a longer run.

Here is my Interview with Nigel where we discuss about quality of food and staying natural.

kai Greene out of Mr. Olympia 2015

kai Greene out of Mr. Olympia 2015, It’s really sad that a guy who has all the potential to win Mr. Olympia has been sidelined from the contest. He is the one who keeps the bodybuilding fans engaged in the sport of bodybuilding. His rag to riches story is inspirational so is his intellect. I am afraid all you need to be now to be a champion is just sell worthless supplements and be very politically correct.

Kai is far more than a bodybuilder and has achieved a lot what only few can dream off! Keep your head high brother! You are the people’s champion.

How can I grow muscle and build my upper body?

How can I grow muscle and build my upper body? This is the most frequently asked question that I encounter on daily basis. You definitely can add lot of size and strength by training on a 5 x 5 workout! I have trained on it; I have put my clients on it and have seen significant gains on this training program.

5 x 5 is a classic training program designed by legendary bodybuilder Reg Park. He used it to get big during off season. It can be the hardest routine you train on, if properly utilized. It’s a fairly easy program to follow and remember, unlike other workout program where you literally have to remember the sets and reps, number of exercises and the order in which it has to be done. Give it 8 to 12 weeks and you will see fantastic gains.

It’s one of the best routine that can be done for strength gains; I give it a 5 star rating. I don't think it’s going to be heavy in the beginning as you experiment with the poundage to reach that 5reps.You do 5 sets of 5 reps on each exercise and each workout, these are done on compounds moments like Deadlift, OHP, bench press, squats and barbell rows. Each workout you increase the poundage by 2.5 kgs or 5 pounds. This is a solid program for gaining strength and adding muscle mass. I suggest you to add 1 or 2 days of cardio to it. Take of day off if you are sore for the workout. Here is the routine.

Days	Workout	sets	Reps
Day 1	Squats 5 x 5	5	5
	OHP 5 x 5	5	5
	Deadlift 5 x 5	5	5
Day 2	Squats 5 x 5	5	5
	Bench press 5 x 5	5	5
	Barbell rows 5 x 5	5	5
Day 3	Rest
Day 4	Cardio
Day 5	Squats 5 x 5	5	5
	OHP 5 x 5	5	5
	Deadlift 5 x 5	5	5
Day 6	Rest
Day 7	Squats 5 x 5	5	5
	Bench press 5 x 5	5	5
	Barbell rows 5 x 5	5	5

You basically squat every session.

Anyone can follow this routine, but beginners have to use very light weight initially until they develop strength. By week 2 and 3 you will already be strong and will be handling more poundage. It will make you strong and can add size. The biggest benefited from this training program are the beginners and intermediates. They can use this to get in the size game and trust me you will be really happy with the results you achieve after 8 to 12 weeks.  

Aesthetics Bodybuilding: Frank Zane the king of Aesthetics

Aesthetics Bodybuilding: Frank Zane the king of Aesthetics, This is the third episode in Know your Pro’s Golden days of bodybuilding. When you talk about symmetry, proportion and aesthetics in bodybuilding one name that pops up in our mind, it’s frank Zane. The meaning of aesthetics is frank Zane; he was Mr. Universe, Mr. America and Mr. Olympia! He was the one who brought aesthetics to main stream bodybuilding. Yes there was Steve reeves and Frank idolized Steve reeves, if the bodybuilding had herculean physiques like that of Sergio, Arnold and mike mentzer there was a beautiful aesthetic body of frank Zane!

He is like a reincarnation of Greek god Apollo, great aesthetics and symmetry.  He was three time Mr. Olympia, he won Mr. Olympia in the year 1977-79. He was nicknamed the “chemist” as he was very fond of Amino acids. I believe his best shape was in the year 1979 Mr. Olympia. He was the lightest Mr. Olympia ever! He won all three Olympia’s within the weight range of 180-187 pounds; I believe his highest weight was 200 pounds in Mr. Olympia 1982. He held his own when it came to posing and he was second to none other than Ed Coney who was a master poser. He symbolized the artistic side of bodybuilding; he put grace and art form behind those huge muscles.

He changed the perception of common people who thought bodybuilders were just muscle heads to artistic and thoughtful athletes. He brought a fresh look to Mr. Olympia and he was one among the only three bodybuilders ever to defeat Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was rumored to have smashed his runner up trophy after 1980 Mr. Olympia. He was well educated and was a math teacher, well spoken and a true gentleman.

He is a very straight forward and on the face kind of a guy. He paved the way for future bodybuilders who choose to go on the aesthetic path than that of a sheer mass!
