No Spec Work - Rewarding Creativity Properly

It’s been a crazy month. Here is a quick story with links on the month. I’m a sharing guy. Here are some valuable sites. This is simply a roundup - that I think will be useful to somebody out there.

Camping Tents

The family went camping the other weekend. The weather was supposed to be nice but you’re supposed to prepare for the worst. Finding the right camping tents for a camping trip can be time consuming. Good thing we have the internet! The tent made it to our house on time thankfully. We might not have made it to the camp. Ordering online was a great experience and everything arrived in mint condition. Shipping was expedited for 2 day delivery. This was one of my most favorite camping trip we have ever had. Lot’s of memories. We’re planning another one right now!

Home Security System

High tech home security is in the house now because of this vacation. You know it’s time to secure the place when you’ve been there a couple years. If we had our computer stolen, it would take a lot from us. There were a lot of free alternatives that we considered but we ultimately felt safest with monitoring. It was a smooth experience - couldn’t have been installed faster. Felt the most peace of mind I’ve ever felt while I was enjoying the camping trip.

eFusjon Opportunity

Who knew that you could get tired while camping…haha. Efusjon saved us on this trip. It is totally worth the money. Efusjon came to the rescue really fast. haha - I had to drink two or three on the first day with a big hike, rock climbing and more. The income opportunity at efusjon is easy and requires little to no time to grow it. True diversification! Go for the opportunity if you can, it’s young and worthwhile now. Visit the link above today.

Until next time, I’m out. I know you’ll enjoy these sites!

WIth so many darn home gyms on the marketplace and abundance of advertising how in the heck is someone suppose to decide what home gym to buy. If you are anything like me you’ve in all likelihood purchased a couple of all the rage products believing that you’ll use them, merely to realize that you have only bought something to hang your dirty clothes on. I have learnt the hard way that someone should expect for certain characteristics. The first one I will speak about in this series is durability.

It’s real that the choice and variation in home gyms is virtually too much to handle. I can surely understand why people might just think to buy whatsoever piece of home gym equipment is pushed or appears hot. Surely, esthetics is part of how someone might select a home gym. However, looks should be the least criteria to use.

Home gyms come in all shapes and sizes. All The Same, when searching at home gyms I believe the number one criteria ought to be durability. Lack of durability, of course, you will find yourself in the market for a new home gym relatively soon. Yet, worse than that is the fact that psychologically when you are exercising you realize the gym is fragile and inadvertently hold back on workouts with intensity. Intensity is a essential ingredient in having a strong workout.

Okay, In my humble opinion the first cirteria to utilize when looking at which home gym to buy is durability. There are many home gyms on the market, but not all of them arefashioned with quality. They might work, they may even work good, but what good is it if they break in 6 calendar months.

If you’re a beginning weight lifter, you will want to know how to get the most from your workouts. A recent study from the University of Sydney in Australia shows that you benefit either from increasing the number of sets of repetitions or from training faster. Weight lifters were divided into four groups:

1) one set fast

2) three sets fast,

3) one set slow

3) three sets slow.

A control group did no lifting. A set was the heaviest weight that they could lift six to eight times in a row. They trained three times a week for six weeks (Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, September 2005).

The group that did one slow set increased strength by 25 percent. Three sets produced twice the increase in strength of one set. Fast training resulted in a greater increase in strength than slow training. There was a benefit of training with three sets or fast speeds, but there was no additive benefit of training with both. So unless you are an athlete who needs speed to compete, you can follow a regimen that emphasizes increasing weight, rather than moving faster.

If you want to become strong, check with your doctor to make sure that you do not have a condition that will be aggravated by heavy exercise. Then pick several different exercises, such as a bench press, upright row, and so forth. Start out with a weight that you can lift comfortably six to ten times in a row. Do one set in each exercise, and repeat this workout three times a week. As you become comfortable with this workout, increase to three sets of 6 to 10 repetitions. When you are comfortable with this workout, increase the weight that you lift.

Maintaining body weight is very important and you should always be informed about it. For this reason bathroom scales have been introduced. They provide accurate information about your weight. Bathroom scales are a combination of gauge technology and calibration system, you will need batteries to run them.

You can find four different types of bathroom scales, all serve the same idea, but can do it in different ways.

1. Digital: they provide you with electronic measurement and are powered by batteries.

2. Solar: solar powered bathroom scales uses solar power to recharge.

3. Dial: these scales uses spring mechanism to tell you about your weight, they are not very accurate

4. Fat analyzer: these are the most advance bathroom scales available, they uses electronic method to tell the exact amount of body fat.

Now you can even find scales that will tell your weight in voice. You can find these scales in different shapes, sizes and of different cost. Most people prefer to use digital scales are they provide you with accurate information. Advance scales have the ability to store your body weight in them, this way you can analyze at any time. This will tell you if you are loosing weight or gaining more.

The most common mistake of hard gainers is spending too much time in the gym and not enough time at home on the couch and in the kitchen. If you are a hard gainer, you know it by now. You train like crazy and never build muscle. You see a little gain and then it’s gone. You go back to the gym and train even harder and longer, thinking surely this will add some poundage to this bag of bones but it does not. It is a vicious cycle that never ends …until you end it.

Here’s how to do it right. Hard gainers MUST train less frequently and use heavy weights. Train no more than three times per week. Forget about dumbbells. Use compound movements with barbells. Work on the core strength of the body, bench presses, dead lifts, squats, pull ups and crunches. Never get away from these exercises. Forget about isolating muscles - one handed exercises to tone… you first must build something to tone. Barbell curls will develop more core strength.

Use micronized creatine for more strength and endurance when training and to aid in recovery. Creatine used right is best friend to hard gainers. Read my article on, Creatine Works If You Know How To Work It.

Training sessions should last 45 - 60 minutes. You will be tempted to train longer and go to the gym more than 3 days a week, but don’t do it if you want to build muscle. Use heavy weight and low reps (5-8 reps and no more then 5 sets per exercise). Rest at least 4 minutes between sets so you will have more strength for the next set. Allow 5 - 7 days rest for each muscle group. Training a muscle group any sooner puts to much stress on the system of hard gainers when using heavy weights. Never train to failure unless you want to fail at building muscle. Ease off on cardio. Short intense cardio is best, once or twice per week will be enough.

I have one thing to say about diet. Eat! Then Eat Some More. Eat when you are not hungry. Eat before and after training. Eat before bedtime. Eat in the middle of the night. Eat at least 1.5 grams of protein, such as lean beef, turkey, chicken, fish, egg whites and whey protein daily, for every pound of body weight. Supplementing with amino acids is also a big plus for hard gainers. Read my article on, Amino Acids for Building Muscle are King Daddy. Eat plenty of complex carbohydrates, such as brown rice, sweet potatoes, baked potatoes and pasta. Eat 80 grams of good fats daily, such as nuts, seeds, peanut butter and avocados. Include at least 35 grams of dietary fiber (raw vegetables) daily and drink plenty of pure water. If you are serious about gaining mass, strap on the feed bag. Try to eat 4000 calories per day. This will take planning and some effort.

Take digestive enzymes each time you eat. Most hard gainers need help with the digestive system. Hard gainers are thyroid body types. A common problem with thyroid body types is poor digestion.

Do not attempt to build muscle and burn fat at the same time. They are two different animals that play by two different sets of rules. It will not work for hard gainers.
