Body Building Equipment

I’m always amazed at how many people seem to know the answer to
this question yet in practice they fail. Everybody I’ve talked
to seems to know that 8-12 glasses of water a day is the
recommended standard. But if I ask them how many glasses of
water have you consumed today? The answer is usually none. Or
the other standard answer at a corporate environment “does
coffee count?”

While 8-12 glasses of water is great for the average sedentary
person, many of us are fitness conscious or on the pursuit of
some type of bodybuilding physique. With that in mind, I think
the new standard for us should be 1-2 gallons of water a day.

As a bodybuilder, you are putting much more nutrients, food,
supplements, and other stuff into your body. What your body does
not use, it must rid itself of by any means necessary. Usually
it does this via water. So drinking plenty of water becomes a
necessity. Increasing protein puts a strain on your body and
drinking lots of water can keep things “moving.” Creatine
monohydrate supplementation requires a lot of water. Creatine is
all about cell volumization. Making sure your cells are
completely hydrated helps with the volumization process. NO2, a
hemodilator, requires water. Many other supplements require
water as a transport and a flushing method.

The side effects of drinking too little water are an excess
buildup of certain chemicals. Creatine can leave behind some
buildup that overtime, becomes a bit hard to pass. Putting such
a strain on the body is also self-defeating. But don’t get me
wrong, it’s not just about Creatine and NO2. It’s about making
sure you are hydrated.

Being properly hydrated has it’s benefits other then just the
flushing methods and cell volumization discussed above. Your
state of alertness is affected by your hydration levels.
Performance in the gym by a hydrated body is enhanced. Your body
is roughly 70% water. It makes sense to hydrate it. Drinking
water is not just for hot days. It’s for intense workouts in the
gym. In fact, being hydrated has that perpetual pump that is so
sought after.

There can be too much of a good thing. Drinking water to excess
leads to water intoxication, referred to as hyponatremia. As you
consume water, blood plasma increases and dilutes the salt
content of the blood. While this is happening, you lose more
salt by sweating. Consequently the amount of salt available to
the body tissues decreases and over time, the loss interferes
with brain, heart and muscle functions. Water intoxication is
more commonly found in endurance athletes.

Drink plenty of water per day, but just keep in mind, there can
be too much of a good thing. Being properly hydrated is
necessary for optimum performance in the gym and for keeping
your body performing well.

Deadlifts are a very potential muscle-building exercise, that
will rejuvenate your entire physical condition, to a whole new
level — if executed astutely.

Here are some facts, on how Deadlifts can dramatically improve
your physical power, to singularly maximized levels:

* Deadlifts Will Quadruple your Natural Testosterone & Growth
Hormone Levels each time your subject yourself into this
exercise (performed once / or twice a month.)

* Deadlifts Will Increase your Metabolism at Incredibly Fast
Rates and Transform Fat into Pure Energy.

“gas-liberation” (don’t Cackle – it’s a fact)…

I lust the feeling of small in duration, highly intensive
Deadlifts which successfully force my body, to excrete a
constant flow of estosterone, that awakens a voracious beast
inside me…

After a ‘Deadlift Workout’ I can feel my sexuality rise so
sky-high… my muscles so engorged, that my poise is
automatically triggered and empowered to the absolute maximum.

Most people admire and respect strong individuals who have won
great success by manifesting will power and self discipline.
People in all walks of life, who with sheer will power, self
discipline and ambition have improved their life, learned new
skills, overcame difficulties and hardships, reduced their
weight, rose high in their chosen field or advanced on the
spiritual path.

The truth is that everyone can reach high levels of will power
and self-discipline through a practical method of training.
These inner power are not reserved for a few special people.

Will power and self discipline are two of the most important and
useful inner powers in everyone’s life, and have always been
considered as essential tools for success in all areas of life.
They can be learned and developed like any other skill, yet, in
spite of this, only few take any steps to develop and strengthen
them in a systematic way.

What is will power? It is the inner strength to make a decision,
take action, and handle and execute any aim or task until it is
accomplished, regardless of inner and outer resistance,
discomfort or difficulties.

It bestows the ability to overcomes laziness, temptations and
negative habits, and to carry out actions, even if they require
effort, are unpleasant and tedious or are contrary to one’s
habits.

What is self discipline? It is the rejection of instant
gratification in favor of something better. It is the giving up
of instant pleasure and satisfaction for a higher and better
goal.

It manifests as the ability to stick to actions, thoughts and
behavior, which lead to improvement and success. Self-discipline
is self-control, and it manifests in spiritual, mental,
emotional and physical discipline.

The purpose of self-discipline is not living a limiting or a
restrictive lifestyle. It does not mean being narrow minded or
living like a fakir. It is one of the pillars of success and
power. It endows the inner strength to focus all the energy on a
goal and persevere until it is accomplished.

Both of these abilities are required for daily actions and
decisions, and also for making major decisions and attaining
major success. They are needed to start and continue studying,
building a business, losing weight, bodybuilding and physical
exercises, maintaining good relationships, changing habits, self
improvement, meditation, spiritual growth, keeping and carrying
out promises and for almost everything else.

One of the most simple and effective methods to develop will
power and self-discipline is by refusing to satisfy unimportant
and unnecessary desires. Everyone is constantly confronted and
tempted by an endless stream of desires and temptations, many of
which are not really important or desirable. By learning to
refuse to satisfy every one of them, you get stronger.

Refusing and rejecting useless, harmful or unnecessary desires
and actions, and behaving contrary to your habits, sharpen and
strengthen your inner strength. By constant practice your inner
power grows, just like exercising your muscles at a gym
increases your physical strength. In both cases, when you need
inner power or physical strength, they are available at your
disposal.

Here are a few examples: – Don’t read the newspaper for a day or
two. – Drink water when thirsty, in spite of your desire to have
a soft drink. – Walk up and down the stairs instead of taking
the lift. – Get down from the bus one station before or after
your destination, and walk the rest of the way. – For a week go
to sleep one hour earlier than usual. – Sometimes resist the
desire to eat ice cream.

These are only a few examples of the many exercises that can be
conducted in order to develop will power and self-discipline.
Exercises like these add to the storehouse of your inner
strength. By following a systematic method of training you can
reach far, have more control over yourself and your life, attain
your goals, improve your life, and gain satisfaction and peace
of mind.
