Since the 80's cardiovascular exercise has been touted as the best exercise for burning body fat.  However, if you look at the physiques of people who only do cardiovascular exercise, they still do not have a completely fit and toned body?  Why is that?

When I'm asked which one is the best routine to perform when looking for bodybuilding gains, my answer always is to use a bodybuilding routine that you have never used before. In this manner you always keep the body guessing. The quickest route to stagnation and lack of gain is to follow a bodybuilding routine for months to an end with no changes to it.

Initially, when you start using a new bodybuilding workout your body needs to learn how to cope with the stress. It does this by growing the muscle, provided that your bodybuilding diet and sleep habits are in order. However, once the nervous system begins to adapt, the body then starts activating less and less fibers every time that the workout is performed. This is one of the ways in which the body prevents itself from growing out of control. You have to keep in mind that your body does not want to change and it will do whatever it takes to stay the same. Remember from your biology class that the body likes to stay in a state of homeostasis (a state of balance and no change). The way to get around this is by varying your bodybuilding workouts.

In your bodybuilding journey you will discover that the more advanced you become, the more you have to vary your training tactics. Now, variation works best when it is performed as part of a logical plan of periodization.

Even though creatine is not a new supplement there is still a lot of confusion about it.  Some people think that it is a steroid while others are misinformed about what it actually does.

In reality, creatine is a metabolite composed of 3 amino acids: arginine, methionine and glycine.

Creatine works by extending the ATP cycle in the body. ATP is the molecule that fuels muscular contractions. More ATP in the body means that you can do more repetitions at any given weight, which means that you can then stimulate more muscle growth.

In addition, creatine increases intra cellular water retention. By increasing the water inside the muscle cell (as opposed to outside) you get a bigger and leaner looking muscle.

For more information about creatine, please take a look at my article on Creatine Basics.
