A lot of people who are just getting started in bodybuilding are always in their search for the most anabolic substance in the planet in order to skyrocket their bodybuilding results.  If you fall in this category, don't feel bad; I was in your shoes once also.

Here is the deal.  In the constant quest for the most anabolic substance a lot of beginners, as well as intermediate and sometimes even advanced bodybuilders make the mistake to forget about the basics.  If you want great bodybuilding results you need to:

• Follow the right bodybuilding training program.

• Follow the right bodybuilding diet (either one that focuses on fat loss while building muscle or one that focuses on exclusive muscle building) and using some very basic bodybuilding supplements.

• Getting the proper amount of rest.

With that said, while you may be training hard and following the right diet, a lot of people still forget to consume the most anabolic susbtance in the planet which believe it or not, is just plain water.

While the muscle cell is made up of protein, and its size is influenced by the amount of glycogen (stored carbohydrate) and some intramuscular fat also (fat inside the muscle cell) that it contains, the main element that influenced muscle cell size and anabolism is water since that is what makes up most of the muscle cell.  Fail to consume enough water and not only your muscle building and fat burning processes will be affected negatively but you will also lack the muscle volume that you are looking for.

While this is a seemingly obvious fact, there are so many bodybuilders that fail to drink the water that I felt compelled to write a full article about it.

Check out my latest article on the importance of water for bodybuilding:

Like I have mentioned countless times before, bodybuilding is the best weapon for women to lose weight and get toned. Remember that while cardiovascular exercise burns calories, and I recommend it at least 3 times a week for 20 minutes, it does little to re-shape your body and it cannot permanently increase your metabolism the way that weight training does.  Thus, women who enslave doing countless of hours of cardio in hopes that they will achieve a lean and toned physique are unfortunately wasting their time.

One question I get often from women is how to fix the issue of flabby triceps.  Just like with any other trouble spot, the remedy comes in the form of the right amount of bodybuilding training, with some cardiovascular exercise and the right fat burning diet.

What's a good training routine for the arms?  I will let champion natural bodybuilder and Registered Nurse Cecile Bayeul show you the right way to getting toned arms.
