Review of Dymatize's Energy formula

Over the last couple of years of so, I’ve had tremendous success with certain Dymatize products. I’ve been particularly pleased with the Xpand creatine formula and I’ve experienced some fantastic strength and size gains with this product.

When Dymatize came out with it’s new creatine formula, “Energized Xpand”, I was naturally pretty excited to try this product out. If it was anything like the original Xpand formula, I knew it would really help boost my gains.

Light Weight Or Heavy Weight, Which One Is Better For Building Muscle?

There are some schools of thought that would say that using heavy weight for all of your movements is the only way to go. I’m sure most of you have read somewhere that you have to go heavy on all of your exercises in order to build the maximum amount of muscle.

Is this the only way to train for maximum muscle or are there other ways to pack on the muscle mass? Find out here.

Rotator Cuffs - Once these go, your done like dinner. Find out how this
small injury can halt all progress!

That’s right, your rotator cuffs are that important. I’m speaking from direct experience here and I can only say that you absolutely must take care of your rotator cuffs. Rotator cuff injuries affect your whole upper body mobility and can cause you a world of pain.

I’ve been training for about 20 years and my rotator cuffs have paid the price for my style of training. Find out how you can avoid rotator cuff injuries and add longevity to your weight training career.

Help!, My Left Pec Is Bigger Than My Right, What Should I Do?

This phenomenon usually occurs for those aspiring weight trainers who are just starting out and one that is quite common in the weight training world. The way I look at it, some parts of your body are more adept to strength and coordination because of body preference.

How To Build Forearms

Forearms, like calves, are one of those muscle groups that seem to have been forgotten over the last decade or so. It seems that building your forearms is not quite as popular, as building your chest or biceps. Let’s face it, a good forearm workout is not quite as exhilarating as a mind blowing chest workout.

I’m not sure why working your forearms is not as popular as training other body parts but nonetheless, they are just as important. I mean, what’s a pair of well developed biceps without a set of well built, and high powered forearms.

With that in mind, I though it would be a good idea to add a forearm routine to this months’s workout.

Grip Strength And The Bench Press

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. There is a strong correlation between grip strength and the bench press. Did you know that you can actually add pounds to your bench press by improving your grip?

Our friends over at criticalbench.com have provided building-muscle101 with a fantastic article explaining how you can improve your grip for a huge bench press.

Grip And The Bench Press


Well that's it for this issue. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank each of you for a great year. Let’s keep on hitting the gym hard and make 2007 the best, and strongest year yet!

All the best,

Blake
