going to lay the groundwork to include education with the
steroid legislation?

As of late steroid use in sports has been the topic of
conversation by the media. From Jose Conseco appearing on Donnie
Deustch’s “The Big Idea” which airs on CNBC to Congress looking
to pass legislation to regulate steroid use in professional
sports.

Is steroid use a problem in pro sports?

Well it depends on who you asked, but steroids weren’t developed
in 2005, they have been around for quite some time. Most people
associated bodybuilding with steroid use so football and
baseball players that may have used them just flew under the
radar.

As sports enthusiasts question records that were broken and bash
those pro athletes that have been singled out for steroid use,
the big problem isn’t the use of steroids by pro athletes but
the use of steroids by the youth.

Of course kids that are playing baseball in the schoolyard look
up to their role models and try to emulate them. So laws being
passed to eliminate the use of steroids in pro sports may have
an impact, but having a law isn’t enough. There has to be an
educational process developed so that the youth really
understands the dangers of steroid use.

Legislation without Education in this instance would be a big
error.

When educators and politicians thought that speaking about drugs
or sexually transmitted diseases might increase the use of drugs
or sexual activity with the youth, they found out that kids knew
more than they thought. So they have to take the same stance
with steroids early on.

They have to assume that young athletes are aware of steroids
and some perhaps use them. Then move forward accordingly and
educate the youth on what they are and the harm that they may
cause.

I am amazed that a pro athlete would come out via a book and
admit their steroid use but does not take the responsibility of
publicly denouncing steroid use with the youth and making public
statements along those lines. Perhaps tainting the careers of
other pro athletes was good enough but any pro athlete that has
thousands if not millions of kids looking up to them have a
responsibility to the public.

Maybe congress should work with MLB, the NFL, NHL and NBA and
create PSA’s warning of the dangers of steroid use and begin a
program in schools educating the youth on steroid use. Another
good idea would be to develop a program to educate the parents
as well.

We will see what develops in the coming months and hopefully
legislators will keep in mind that they have to include
education with legislation as it relates to steroids.

muscle!!!

Is this even possible?

Well hold on to your seat because you are about to learn a whole
new way of doing cardio and burning fat that will turn your body
into a fat burning machine and still pack on the muscle.

I have been working on natural bodybuilding for the last 3
years, and it has taken me 2 and a half years to realize I was
going about it completely the wrong way. I am sure you have all
been there before. Atkins, low carb, low calorie, low fat, low
anything you can name.

Sure some of it works but I noticed that when I was trying to
loose excess fat from a bulking season and become shredded for
summer I would loose between 10 and 15 pounds of muscle. Surely
there had to be a better way?

Well what I found out revolutionized not only the intensity,
results and gains from my normal workouts but took my fat
burning to a completely new level.

It is a common belief that by doing cardio sessions for 30 and
40 minutes at a time is the ultimate zone for fat burning. THEY
ARE WRONG.

What I learnt next shocked me to the very core.

You can burn more fat, loose less muscle and actually still gain
muscle with 16 minutes of cardiovascular training a day. So how
do you achieve this amazing feat?

MAX OT training style and more importantly MAX OT cardio.

You see there is something special about the entire way MAX OT
has been designed, it works for maximum overload, maximum
intensity to deliver you the results that you desire.

I can honestly say that it has done more then I expected for me
then any other training program ever has. I was able to add
40 pounds to my bench press and 80 pounds to my squat in
about 2 months, not to mention dropping 4 percent body in
fat.

At one part in Max-OT cardio the following is quoted “Remember,
no more old fashion cardio. You are stepping up. You are
entering an advanced cardio training dimension. A dimension few
athletes are familiar with. After a few weeks of Max-OT Cardio,
your view cardio training will never be the same. All your
previous cardiovascular training will seem like a walk in the
park and a waste of time. You will then realize how inefficient
and ineffective “conventional cardio” is. More importantly,
you’ll be establishing a metabolism akin to a Colorado wildfire.”

And it is completely true. You are entering a new dimension with
your training.

There are so many more benefits to the Max OT program that I
won’t discuss in this article because the list just goes on and
on. You can visit their site at http://www.ast-ss.com

Basically if you want to build more muscle then you ever have
before and become cut and shredded for summer. Max-OT is the
program for you.

A very common dream these days is to have a 40″ vertical jump.
Being able to do acrobatic dunks and soar for rebounds just
makes playing basketball more exciting. Achieving a 40″ vertical
will take a lot of hard work and dedication. I will show you how
to put together a program that will help you jump higher.

The first thing that you will need to do is build strength in
your legs. Exercises like squats, deadlifts, and glute-ham
raises will accomplish this. You will want to do about 3 sets of
5 reps on these exercises. You will also want to do some Olympic
lifts. I would recommend doing cleans or snatches. Only perform
these lifts if you know the proper form, as you can easily get
injured if you do them incorrectly. Plyometrics is the last form
of training that I would recommend. There are many different
plyometric exercises you can do, but I think that Depth Jumps
are the best way to go.

If you put together the strength training, the Olympic lifts,
and the plyometrics, you should be able to increase your
vertical jump by 4-6 inches if you stick with it for about 5-6
weeks.

One last thing you can do is to stretch your hip flexors.
Stretch them out as much as possible before and after you
workout. If you need more description of the exercises, visit
