How Many Workouts Per Week Will Help You Build Muscle?

By Russ Howe-Pti


There is such confusion in the gym these days that people who want to know how to build muscle are usually too scared to ask for advice because they can't take the science lesson which it usually brings on. One of the biggest areas people face confusion is working out how many gym sessions they need to do each week in order to experience good results. Today we're going to help you answer this all important question for yourself.

Before you visit your local gym there are a few changes you should make at home in order to ensure your workouts are more productive.

If you are brand new to training you might be worried when you see ultra fit friends who seem to exercise non-stop. Perhaps that's something which has previously put you off the whole idea of getting fitter. You needn't worry, because building a better body is not about torturing yourself on a daily basis.

If you want to build lean tissue the first step to take is dismissing the theory that weights are for guys and treadmills are for girls. It's not true and you'll need both methods if you are to achieve the toned look most people strive for. Two to three workouts per week is a good starting point for those who have not exercised regularly before.

With that as a starting point, your body will begin the process of changing.

Once you begin seeing results, however, a different type of situation is upon you and there are different risks to your progress. No longer will you have to worry about hitting the gym regularly enough, because seeing a positive change in the shape of your body will be enough to kick-start your desire to exercise more than ever before.

Believe it or not, it actually becomes hard for most people to resist the temptation to workout every single day.

On the contrary, when it comes to muscular hypertrophy your body will progress at a slower rate if you blast it too often. Rest is very important.

If you don't let your body rest you will not see continued results. You are essentially breaking down yesterday's results and rebuilding them today, which will not actually help you to get any further forward at all. If you simply enjoy training and don't want to limit yourself to three sessions per week, you should look into using a split routine instead of a full body workout at this stage.

Don't waste your time in the gym rebuilding the same body part repeatedly. If you aren't resting, you aren't growing.

One of the biggest mistakes made when people want to discover how to build muscle is that they don't place enough importance on resting a body part before they hit it again with the weights. In order to enjoy maximum results and retain them you need to understand the big role rest plays in your journey to a better body.

3 Types Of Exercises You Must Do To Get Rid Of Stomach Fat Fast

By Wendy Stanton


Everyone wants a stomach that they can proudly show off and not hide behind t-shirts come swimsuit season. If the workouts you are doing are not producing the results you are looking for, you should stop and instead perform the following 3 kinds of exercises to get rid of stomach fat fast.

In order to get rid of stomach fat fast, you must perform all three types of these exercises. Sure you may lose belly fat if you pick one or two of these exercises but to get the best results, you must perform all three.

Exercises To Get Rid of Stomach Fat Fast

1. Cardio

Cardio is the best way to get your body to burn calories and lose the layer of fat that covers the stomach muscles. The more calories you burn, the more belly fat you shall lose. You may be able to perform all the abdominal tightening exercises but you will not notice much difference until you include cardio exercises to first get rid of this layer of fat that covers the stomach muscles.

In order to get the most out of cardio exercises and to help you get rid of a fat stomach, use the interval method and do not simply perform cardio at a steady pace.

The interval method is best for blasting away belly fat because it increases the intensity of the cardio exercises periodically. You first start with a steady pace for about 90 seconds and then increase the intensity or speed to the fastest pace you can tolerate for 30 seconds. This makes up one interval. Repeat 5 to 6 times at least three times per week.

Intervals can be done while on a treadmill, on an elliptical, on a bike, while swimming, etc. When you work at high intensity, it will allow you to burn between 25 to 75 percent more calories than low intensity workouts. Definitely push yourself to get out of your comfort zone.

2. Strength Training

Strength training with weights or resistance bands will enable you to build lean muscle which will help to give you a metabolism boost which is useful for burning even more calories. This makes strength training so important and a must if you want to get rid of belly fat.

Strength training has other benefits you will appreciate such as helping to improve your balance, better sleep in addition to minimizing all the cellulite on your thighs, hips and buttocks. Strength training also has the added benefit of increasing your stamina and will also help to reduce the risk of developing conditions such as type 2 diabetes.

Most women are usually afraid to use weights or use weights that are too light because they are afraid to bulk up. Fear not. As a woman, you do not have much of the hormones that will cause you to bulk up. Strength training will help you to get leaner and stronger in the fastest time possible.

3. Core Exercises

After all the cardio and strength training, you then need to perform core exercises to shape a defined belly. Workouts are also pointless unless you are also strengthening the core and the abdominal muscles are an important aspect of the core muscle group that supports the body.

Some of the best core exercises to get rid of stomach fat and create six pack abs include the bicycle, the plank, crunches, etc.

How To Build Maximum Muscle In Minimum Time

By Russ Howe


Most guys look at other men and wonder how to build muscle quickly like others seem to be able to do. You could even categorize yourself as a hard gainer, somebody who naturally finds it hard to get results, or perhaps you just find yourself toiling away in the gym to no avail. Today we'll give you three ground breaking tips which will enable you to build some excellent lean mass over the following one to two months.

That's right, I said a couple of months. Not a year.

If you have been training for a while you will have already noticed that the biggest issue holding people back in the gym is the volume of contradicting advice out there. People can't seem to stick to anything for long enough to get results because they have outside influences telling them that they need to purchase the latest product or try to next big thing in workouts...

If you want to get bigger and stronger, you need to know just a few proven rules.

#1 Compound exercises out perform isolation exercises.

#2 Your range of repetitions will help you target hypertrophy.

#3 Make sure you get the basics of your diet in place.

While many people struggle to learn how to get results from their exercise routine, those who do achieve success learn that the important factors lie in getting the basics right. The three point system you see above gives you the key to reaching your goal.

Compound movements are multiple joint exercises which force your body to recruit more muscle fibers and therefore work harder. Exercises such as bench press and squats are perfect examples of great compound movements.

Don't spend hours working smaller muscles. For example, there will be countless guys at your local gym doing endless sets of bicep curls or triceps pushdowns. You will notice far better results if you focus your time on the big movements which recruit more muscle fibers to perform.

Finding out which exercises yield maximum results is a good start, but you'll also need to know how many reps you should be doing, too. Furthermore, you'll need a way to keep your lifts from hitting a plateau.

Studies show that optimum strength gains are achieved when we try to hit the hypertrophy zone, which means pushing for 8-12 reps with your main resistance exercises. If you're smart you can also use that as a system to tell you when you need to increase the weight. Think about it for a second, when you can get more than 12 reps out you are no longer in the ideal zone for building, therefore you should think about increasing the weights.

Of course, we wouldn't be very much help to you if we didn't cover the third point which is diet. Try not to make the common mistake of assuming just because you want to get bigger you can eat anything you want. You don't just want to add size, you want it to be the right kind of size.

You need to make the most of your daily calories and that means getting a good split of carbs, proteins and fats into the food you choose to eat. Whether it's through supplements or actual food, try to ensure around 50% of your daily intake comes from carbohydrate sources with the focus on complex carbs rather than sugary simple carbs. Follow that up with around 30% from protein and 20% from healthy fats and you have yourself a great diet platform to operate from.

Finally, most of us have a 'problem area' with our body. We have an area we find harder to build than others. Rather than spending ages looking for the best shoulder building exercises you will notice that by going back to basics with your lifts you will make it easier to see progress.

Too many people are endlessly trying to figure out how to build muscle that they miss the obvious answer by over complicating it. Once you know the three simple rules you are ready to go.

Using the Karate Method to Defeat an Attacker

By Al Case


Most people don't understand the precise karate strategy of how to win a fight. This is a whole area of combat that has served generations of people, even enabled peasants to defeat armed samurai, and yet it is poorly understood. In this bit of writing we will discuss the strategy you need to use to win any fight, and this method can be used by practitioners of any art, including jujitsu, Kung Fu, Kenpo, etc.

The first thing you need to do, if you're going to win the fight, is to set the distance. This means more than just controlling whether the fight is to be conducted at a certain range. This means setting up the fight so that no matter the range, you are using your best weapon, and in a position to close the distance and knock him out, take him down, or whatever.

To enter the fight you must establish a position, then shuffle forward until you step on the line between you and your opponent. This is an invisible point, but he will noticeably flinch, or move away, or make some other motion when you cross that point. Once you understand how to invade his space in this manner, you must do the things I am going to list in the following sentences, all while easing in on him and trying to get into his space without him reacting.

Once you have set the distance you must set the side you are going to attack on. Most people stand with their right side back, but it doesn't matter which side they use. And, to tell the truth, it doesn't matter what side you use.

Once you have each chosen a side to present, you should begin to circle. You should be circling to his open side, which will present the flat of his body, and gets away from the wedge of his body. Shifting in with occasional random movements, you attempt to move into his open space with the wedge of your body, this gives you more target area and weapons, and he will have less target area and be facing more weapons.

You are now giving him with two problems, as you are treading on his territory with both forward and sideways motions. Moving in this manner, hold up your hands so that your opponent has to either push between them, or try to move around them. So either hold your fists closer together, so that he will push try to come around them, or hold the fists wider so that he will think he can attack through the center.

These three things make an opponent easier to predict, and therefore to fight. It won't take long before he begins to believe he can take advantage of the opening you are presenting, and you are about to get a fabulous opportunity to take him downtown. The forward and back motion, the side shifting, when he finally attacks you will be shifting out of his range, but you are going to have to be fast if you wish to take advantage.

Being quick means you have to see it coming, you have to set up the situation, and cause him to think he can get away with it. You see, a fighter won't attack unless he thinks he can win. So you have to make him think he has the advantage, and then you have to time his totally predictable strike if you want to win the fight with Karate.

Exercises for Children

By Michael Scott


It's regrettable that you actually have to search exercises for kids. Long gone are the days of moms yelling for their kids to quit actively playing and come in for dinner. These days, mothers must search no further than the gaming console, TV or computer system. And then, the plea is not come in, but instead, to get off the couch and get functional. As a physical educator, fitness instructor and also experienced coach for a number of athletics and ages, I have learned quite a few useful truths through the years that I am going to write about.

For those who have a dream of seeing your son or daughter taking part in 30 minutes on the treadmill three or more times a week, I hate to tell you, but it's probably not going to happen. In general, boys and girls look at conventional exercise as simply no fun and too much like work (more than adults do). Even throughout the first years of senior high school, the average kid simply doesn't do that sort of thing. I coach secondary school track and cross country squads, and I will assure you with full confidence that it's a rare child that would go out and run on their own. If we don't have a squad practice together with all their teammates with them, training simply won't happen. I am able to ultimately get my more driven upper-class-men to do some. Many parents come to me frustrated that their child is lazy and unmotivated. They are usually surprised to find out that their youngster is really in the norm.

Due to the fact boys and girls don't like formal exercise, you must mask it as sports activities, games, events with friends and possibly competitions. I must admit, this poses a task for parents. You probably will feel like an unwelcome activity director on a cruise ship.

As a dad and also running coach, I felt electrified after I found that my baby girl was blessed with talent as a runner. I dreamt that the two of us would go on runs with each other and have fabulous old times that we'd always cherish. Well, she's off to university next season, and it still doesn't ever happen. I came to terms quite a long time back that training with daddy simply isn't exciting. When it's with me, virtually any discomfort and excuse arises to keep the dream from becoming reality. Interesting, she practically never hurts when she's with her teammates. I hear this from lots of parents.

I propose this list of kid's exercises that will be great to get your little one enthusiastic as well as moving: Sports teams: Presumably not everyday, however it gets them in motion. Gymnastics/ tumbling: This is a great type of physical exercise for the kids. Martial arts: Yet another complete, excellent exercise motivator for children. Competitive Club Cheerleading I'm not referring to pom-pons on the sidelines. It is actually more like team gymnastics. If perhaps you're not acquainted, you should research it. Jump Rope Hiking-With friends Cycling Negotiate comparable time for activity with non-active time: thirty minutes of video game time for 30 minutes of exercise. Think about it.

Simple Alternative Work Out Routines That Will Firm And Trim

By Jasmine Blacker


Easy alternative workouts, that actually get you in shape, really do exist! You just have to know where to look. When you exercise, keep in mind that it is important that you enjoy what you are doing if you are going to continue. This article was written to help you find a way to do your workout routine successfully yet not get bored in the process.

Some people will exercise with what are called battle ropes. Anyone that has used these heavy ropes, also called fitness ropes, understands how they can help build up your cardiovascular system and help you get stronger. This single piece of equipment is often used by bodybuilders as part of their workout routine; athletes of any sport may use these as well.

Using ropes can save you a lot of time because they are easy to store and portable. Exercising with this equipment can help build stamina and endurance simultaneously. One innovative modern workout that's getting popular, at least in some cities, is called Gyrotonic exercise. This is a workout that has your body moving in a smooth and graceful way. Even if you have an injury or aren't in the best shape right now, you can benefit from this type of low impact exercise. It won't take you long to see the benefits from it, and it works on your muscles, stamina and flexibility. If you watch a video about this kind of workout, you may see people using an elaborate looking machine, which can be found at a Gyrotonic center. The movements can also be done at home without any equipment if you have a video or other instructional material to follow along with. So if you're looking for an interesting and thorough alternative workout, you should look into Gyrotonic.

Rowing is a challenging type of exercise that's effective for total body conditioning. Although this type of exercise is naturally done in a boat, you can use the rowing equipment at the local gym to get the same type of effect. If you want an exercise that combines a strength routine with a cardio workout, rowing can accomplish both. Your endurance levels will definitely increase as you use a rowing machine; make sure to adjust the settings so that you're comfortable and build your endurance and muscle without injury. Instead of going to the gym, you can also buy a rowing machine which can be a good investment if you utilize it on a daily basis. Many people grow the natural way, using a boat with oars on a lake which can help them build up their endurance and muscle just as well. You can have fun, and get in shape at the same time when you do rowing exercises.

The exercise that your body must have is dependent upon you going to local gym or finding a sports group that you can join to get your exercise. The sports should be invigorating, yet not cause too much physical stress; these sports include racquetball, tennis, and even soccer. No matter how old you are, you can always take up a new sport or renew your interest in one you had as a child, teen or young adult.

Experts are really not needed when it comes to sports; you need to get moving and participate in the best way that you can. If you really enjoy the sport you are playing, you may forget that you are actually playing while getting your exercise. By adding novelty to your exercise routine, your alternative workouts will keep you motivated as you do them everyday. If you can, change up your workout as much as possible - the reason you do this is to make sure you are motivated to work out continually. There are literally endless possibilities to choose from in regard to changing your exercise routine, and they are not limited to what you read in this article.

The Best Way To Defend Yourself The Inexpensive Way

By Volry B Kopland


I happen to be seeking out the best stun guns reviews say will not bore a hole in your wallet but are effective for defense. I am a member of a team which volunteers our time inside a homeless shelter situated in a community where criminal activity is prevalent, thus we need to be safe.

I have found out that the value of stun guns is in their being non deadly and causing no long-term damage yet having the ability to disable briefly whoever gets shocked by one. I saw someone on television collapse due to the strong voltage which coursed through his body right after being in contact with one of these personal defense devices.

Jed, a cousin of mine, once utilized a 100,000-volt straight stun weapon, the effects of which are milder yet still effective since it is a low voltage stun weapon. Upon contact, muscles turn lax mainly because small neurological signals which control as well as direct voluntary muscle movement are interrupted by the current. He ran away as the guy was writhing in pain.

That is good for us in case we get caught inside a sticky scenario heading towards the shelter. Once our attacker feels pain and is disabled briefly, we buy precious time to recuperate as well as run.

At the shelter, I became acquainted with a police officer who volunteered his time weekly. He educated me on his 100,000-volt, 5.5-inch stun weapon made for individuals with tiny hands. Small stun weapons could be concealed as well as easy to handle. Contact with vital parts (the neck, shoulder, abdomen or groin) leaves its "victim" disoriented, confused and with muscle spasms.

Ella, one of the females inside our group, became thrilled soon after she read up on disguised stun guns. She is targeting a 950,000-volt rechargeable lipstick stun gun with flashlight, for obvious reasons. It does not seem like a weapon however can throw off a thug just as badly.

No matter which we pick, I'm making certain the purchase will not be over $40 but still make us feel safe.

In some cases, it really pays to look into the best stun devices reviews recommend for those who have minimal knowledge and also money.

Building an Ancient Chinese Spear and Training With It (part two)

By Al Case


In the last article (part one) we discussed the actual construction of the Chinese Spear, also called the 'Qiang.' You might wish to google that article before you read this one. This article is concerned with basic Chinese Spear training methods.

There are several methods for training with the Qiang. The easiest would be to cut or thrust, or to simply bash down upon an attacker with gusto, However, in the hands of a Shaolin or Tai Chi Chuan master, the spear can be used to disarm weapons, take down a charging horse, the butt can be used, the shaft can be used to trip or even throw attackers.

The beginning methods of using the spear had to do with basic thrusting and cutting. Once these were mastered, other types of uses could be developed. The one exception to this is taking down a horse, which we will speak of shortly.

To thrust the Qiang, hold the butt of the spear, the hands a comfortable distance apart, and step forward as you jab with the spear. Once your arms gain in strength and you get the feeling that you are holding the spear (instead of the spear holding you), make a small circle on a tree and start jabbing the spear into it. While you can hang a small circle of wire if you don't want to hurt trees, the feeling of striking a target, and then having to pull the blade out, is quite educational.

To cut with the Chinese spear simply hold the base of the shaft with the hands a comfortable distance apart, and make small circles in the air. The actual blade is not long, like a sword, but used for small circling motions inside an opponent's range...when he is a half dozen or more feet away. Make small circles, and think about stepping in as you do this, so that the tip of the spear can whack at the opponent's own grip, and then thrust forward.

The third beginning training method is to swing the spear like a staff. No thought of using the blade, just bashing mightily upon the skull, cracking any armor or bones as you please. You want to develop strength with this technique so that you will eventually be able to use the Qiang for other purposes.

Let's speak of other purposes, so that you may better understand and adapt your training. Armies in olden times had horses, and these horses would charge. The simple method for dispatching a horse would be to place the butt of the spear upon the ground, and hold the thing so that the horse charged right into it.

In summation, you should know that there are techniques for training in the spear in other nations, most notably the Japanese Martial Art of Sjutsu, which teaches the use of the Japanese spear called the Yari. This article can be adapted and used with other schools of the spear. That said, I hope all martial artists have the chance to work with the King of Weapons, the ancient Chinese Spear called the Qiang.

How To Lose Weight Without Fuss

By Howe Russ


It's a problem which has been baffling men and women for decades, how to lose weight and keep it off long term. Today we're going to teach you the rules which so many dieters and gym users miss and you'll be achieving your fat loss goals in no time.

We've all heard the stories before. We've all had a friend or family member trying to tell you that they simply cannot lose any size no matter what they eat or how hard they train. Well, they may not like to hear this, but the fact is unless you have a medical issue it's simply not true. Most of us are overlooking the basic proven facts of a solid diet. These tips will not cost you a thing.

By the time you have read the contents of today's article you will feel a lot better about yourself and your position (because you are certainly no alone in it) but more importantly you will be able to achieve your goals.

We start by looking at your calorie intake. Are you eating too much? Are you eating too little? The latter is perhaps even worse, as you're possibly starving yourself of your favorite foods and still getting nothing to show for it. The trick is to find the balance between the two. How many friends have tried the latest celebrity diet only to pile the fat straight back on a month or two down the line? This is because they often cut their calorie intake so drastically or deprive their body of necessary nutrients (usually carbs).

All you need to do is figure out your goal weight in pounds and multiply it by twelve. That's it, you're done. This ball park figure is there to give you an idea how many calories per day to eat.

The real trick comes in getting your macronutrients (protein, carbs and fats) sorted out. This is where most people don't pay enough attention to their diet but, trust me, it's where the results are there for the taking. For instance, a guy eating a healthy 2000 calorie per day meal plan would get far superior results to a guy eating a unhealthy 2000 calorie per day meal plan, right? Of course he would.

A healthy way to split your macronutrients is 40% protein, 40% carbohydrate and 20% fat. This is known as the 4-4-2 system (a soccer formation, to make it easier to remember!). So this is how you would work out your daily intake of each:

For protein simply use your calculator to work out 40% of your daily calorie target and then divide the answer by four. That's how many grams of protein you need to eat per day.

For carbs do the exact same sum.

Fats - Work out 20% of your daily calorie target and divide the result by nine this time (that's how many calories are in one single gram of fat). This gives you an idea how many grams of fat to consume every day.

If you are able to hit your daily target of the three main macronutrients you will notice that you stop counting you calories altogether. That's because your macronutrients are far more important. This is why, as a fitness instructor, I can't help but frown when I see ladies reading the calorie count on every little piece of food they eat throughout the day.

Now that you have a solid diet plan in place you can begin implementing our other diet tips from today's video. We'd recommend adding one step at a time until you have all five tips working for you simultaneously, this allows you to take it step-by-step and keeps you from changing too much in one go.

Most people never figure out how to lose weight in their lifetime, some dieters have been doing the same things for a decade and seeing no results. By now, you should be feeling confident in yourself that you will finally be able to get some hard earned rewards for your efforts because you now know the science driven, researched backed answers on setting up a great weight loss plan - straight from a personal trainer!

Proven Advice For Male Athletes

By Sergei Kholvei


I've been writing about different areas of mens fitness and fitness nutrition, but what about the fundamentals of fitness. The core you might say and why us men wish to be fit. Fitness is for all ages. It's irrelevant how young or old you could be. It is never really too late to start.

Men are the breadwinners of the family usually. If a person is fit, he has loads more energy for his work and for his family life. You feel better, look better, and are more happy. I feel every man should endeavor to realize some fitness level. You don't have to coach like an Olympian, but generally fitness, to me, is a total must. I am sure the ladies agree.

The 1st part of a fitness routine and the most basic is Flexibleness. Stretches before and after an exercise session will keep you flexible and away from injury. The second side of mens fitness is a good cardiovascular workout. Cardio gets the blood pumping, increases your lung capacity and their power to distribute oxygen to your blood.

This gives you almost unrestriced resources of energy for anything that comes up in your daily life. The blood flow also keeps your cerebral cortex oxygenated Which improves its overall capacity for handling anything that comes its way. The third is building up muscle and strength training. Now these are definitely optional. Some men have no desire to be "musclebound". There is not a lot wrong with keeping the muscles toned and fit though.

By a long way, in my opinion, is the cardio exercise programmes. Aerobics if that is all the time you have. By concentrating on cardiovascular more, it keeps the arteries and veins open, keeps cholesterol low, and keeps the heart fit and powerful. The heart is simply a muscle after all and wants it's exercise programs. Cardiovascular will keep you young and full of energy. Stretching for flexibility and cardio is really all you would need.

If you would like to increase muscle then, by all possible means, do it. If you are going to weight train, follow some simple rules. Know how to do your exercises correctly, stretch correctly before exercising, and possibly have an exercise buddy / spotter for your lifting. Always be safe.

To increase muscle correctly is where the correct nutrition comes in like I covered in a prior article. You want to get a well balanced diet, take vitamin and mineral supplements, get your fair share of protein ( around one gram for every pound you weigh ), drink plenty of water, and do not push yourself too hard or overtrain.

Primarily based upon clinical investigation that analyzed the varieties and amount of foodstuffs our historic hunter-gatherer ancestors consumed, the basis of certainly one of today's most well-known diets (Paleo Diet program) is lean meat, together with a assortment of seafood, fruit and non-starchy veggies - drastically different from the typical Western diet program.

All through the Paleolithic time period, persons ate mostly veggies, fruit, nuts, the roots of plants and meat. In case you went out to gather food during this period, the foodstuffs you'd uncover the really least of will be carbohydrates.

Fight Techniques From The World Of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

By Rod Bourgoine


The best MMA fighters are often the ones with the most varied set of fight skills. They understand the importance of learning techniques from boxing to Muay Thai to judo and, of course, Brazilian jiu-jitsu. There are many key BJJ moves that can really make a difference during a fight.

The basic idea behind Brazilian jiu-jitsu is that a person can more easily overcome an opponent by utilizing ground-fighting skills. The fighter attempts to get his opponent to the ground and then inflict some type of submission hold. Joint locks and chokes are the two categories of submissions typically used in BJJ.

Joint locks are applied to various joints on the body, including arms, legs and shoulders. They are very difficult to get yourself out of when an opponent has a solid hold, but there are techniques that can be used to escape. One of the most common locks that fighters use is the armbar.

Arm locks are definitely a solid skill to possess. If you don't think the armbar is an effective tool, watch Ronda Rousey's last bout against Sarah Kauffman and rethink your opinion. Actually, you could really watch any of Rousey's fights as a pictorial of the effectiveness of the armbar. Matt Hughes, Rorion Gracie and Frank Mir are just a few other top MMA fighters who have ended fights (and even broken arms) using this skill. There are many types of armbars, including the flying armbar, double armbar and helicopter armbar. Learning how to inflict some type of armbar is an excellent idea, and it also wouldn't hurt to learn how to escape from this move either.

Another type of submission hold is the chokehold, and as with joint locks, there are many different styles of chokes that you can learn. The theory behind a chokehold is that you cut off the oxygen supply or blood flow of your opponent forcing them to submit, and occasionally, they will become unconscious. This is certainly an excellent tool for self defense but also as part of your fight game plan. Two types of chokes that have been used with great success in MMA are the guillotine chokehold and the rear naked choke. Royce Gracie used this rear naked choke to take down Ken Shamrock in under a minute during UFC 1. There are many examples of fights ending due to a well-applied guillotine choke, but few are as interesting to watch as the 2007 IFL fight between Dave Phillips and Dan Miller.

Of course, there is much more to learn about Brazilian jiu-jitsu than chokes and joint locks. You have to learn how to escape from holds, how to get your opponent to the ground and all of this takes time and practice. Eventually, you probably will find one or two submission holds that really work for you during fights, and you will spend many months perfecting these helpful skills.

How You Can Fight Assailants Utilizing Non Deadly Weapons

By Metheun A Vaghn


A couple of weeks back, Sebastian was asking me where to buy stun gun gadgets. I raised my brows when he posed the question. Was my peace-loving good friend thinking about a self-defense device? I prodded and learned he was nearly robbed at the park while running and had wanted to be ready since.

Stun guns, while non deadly, are not toys. They are able to inflict harm but only for the short term. I sat in to listen to a cop teaching similar victims on stun devices causing both discomfort and also disorientation, thereby incapacitating an attacker right up until you could break free and search for assistance.

He suggested that first-timers getting one must begin with low voltage stun guns. A lot of people are usually concern about using personal protection weapons in the beginning. Handling a less powerful weapon assures you the enemy will not be injured severely and completely however you can still defend yourself effectively.

For guys just like Sebastian, the police officer recommended something like a 300,000 volts straight Stun Master stun device. It was powerful enough to cut energy off from the muscles, particularly if it made contact with vulnerable areas such as the neck, shoulders, belly and groin, however the effect was only for a few minutes.

It is not uncommon for people to lose their balance and become confused the moment hit by a stun device, Mr. Policeman explained. If the electrical shock is mild due to low voltage, there is less possibility of serious injury.

The straight stun device came equipped with a safety switch in order to keep it from hitting the user accidentally and a wrist strap for easier handling. Given that it was able to penetrate half-an-inch of clothing thickness, there was no shock back to you in case the aggressor managed to touch you while being stunned himself.

Sebastian was pretty satisfied with the information I provided him with and said he would think it over whether to carry on with the purchase or not.

What is essential is that he has an idea where to get stun gun devices already as soon as he is finally ready.

Effective Way Of Protection For Ladies Working During The Night

By Kala K Sodekem


My work commences at 2 in the afternoon and ends up at about 11 PM. While I do not usually have qualms with making use of public transportation really late at night, my sweetheart was often paranoid with regards to my very own security.

He frequently lectured me about keeping myself protected all the time. He likewise thought it best that I supply myself using one of those self defense weapons for ladies to tote with them.

I'm familiar with stun weapons considering that my daddy used to bring one within the car. In my understanding, stun guns are used to immobilize attackers temporarily by providing a non deadly, strong-voltage electrical current.

While a stun weapon does not bring about permanent injury, it results in a loss of balance and muscle control, confusion and also disorientation, taking an attacker down to the floor and making him incapable of further aggressive activity. It produces a small window for the user to get away and search for assistance.

If I recall correctly, my father utilized a high voltage stun gadget due to its swift-acting defense which would require a fewer number of shots in order to floor any mugger down. His 4.5 million volt stun weapon served him very well throughout a close encounter with a hostile drunk the last time he was out together with good friends at night.

Personally, I wanted to buy a 4.5 million volt mobile phone stun gun for myself since an officemate got one that looked much like an actual camera cellular phone. Given that masked stun devices like the one Jamie got are concealed in common objects, this adds to the surprise element since the enemy can never predict the attack.

My guy could not wait for me to decide, therefore he gifted me instead with a double contact stun device. It had a rubber-coated soft-contour grip making it easy to hold and hang on to. My boyfriend claims stun guns just like this one are much more effective compared to most others because of the wider space between the electrified contacts.

Girls just like me shouldn't wait for a crime to occur before equipping ourselves with self defense weapons for women who do not want to feel prone to being attacked.

Training With Crossfit

By Philip Sergey


It isn't difficult to watch fit people at the gymnasium and think that's all it takes to create muscle. But as any pro or private crossfit coach will tell you, sound exercise relies in no tiny part on a sound diet. Don't fool yourself into thinking you can eat pumpkin pie this season, hit the gymnasium, and walk away with gains of the muscle variety.

According to an assessment of eleven "Biggest Loser" contestants, it requires a combination of good nourishment and frequent exercise to truly make a difference with your routine. And it's no different when talking of crossfit exercises. So which diet is correct for you? We've assembled 3 proposals.

Protein, Protein, Protein

No, we're not talking about the Doctor Atkins diet ( not necessarily, anyway ). But protein is as crucial to muscle-building and fitness during your crossfit exercises as the 8 necessary amino acids that gobble up really needed nutriments.

Fish, eggs, chicken, milk, and protein generally will help you bulk up and deliver the sorely needed nutriments that may help in making your exercises much more smooth. Still, don't discount grains like barley and oats or legumes like beans and lentils , these food groups will help round off a sound diet for sound ( er ) mind and body.

So don't rely exclusively on meats. Expand your diet to form an indestructible workout regimen.

Supplementing with Supplements

We have all heard about additions. Bodybuilders and others looking to build muscle fast talk them up. Critics charge that these often costly shakes, pills, and other additions can weaken the body over the long haul.

So which is it? The short answer : Use supplements judiciously. Whey powders, protein shakes and bars may assist you in the short term, but-maybe like an endurance sport-what counts is your ability to pace yourself over the long stretch. Better to depend on natural food groups and protein-builders than peculiar ones, because it just be unsustainable.

Should You Desert Dessert?

With diabetes afflicting approximately twenty-three million Americans-and an estimated 5.7 million unaware of the fact that they have it-deserting pudding seems like a foregone conclusion for those wanting to trim the fat or add muscle.

So should you forever refrain from sweets-cookies, candy, ice cream, and so on? No more tiramisu, less the day on which you rue? Not really. Unless you have problems with abstention in general, gurus say it's okay to delight in your puddings now and again. If you have difficulty eating only one bowl of your fave ice cream, you may invite a friend over or use only memorable occasions to dish on a diet.

Remember, sugar can be good-just consider bananas, honey, apples, or agave nectar. Don't worry about a pudding hurting your crossfit exercise, but don't go over the top.

Some Items That You Can Buy At The Jiu Jitsu Store

By Skyla Bryd


A good deal of importance has been laid on the world of mixed martial arts all thanks to the tremendous attention that it has received in recent times. People seem to be interested in this particular form due to which buying the best equipment from a Jiu Jitsu store is a must. You cannot learn this fighting style if you do not have the correct equipment for training purposes. The choice of your equipment needs to heavily rely on your individual training needs.

People normally like to work out on a mat wearing a Gi which is also called as kimono but some may prefer fighting in spandex. The kimonos come in a number of diverse colors such as blue, white and black. The benefit is that a kimono is made from highly durable material which means that you can use it for several grappling sessions. The good news here is that this material is known to dry up within no time once the grappling session is over. You can choose the uniform that you want according to your preference but traditionally kimonos are the preferred choice especially for the professional fighters.

All you people who wish to thoroughly get known to Jiu Jitsu will be required to purchase a gym bag so as to be able to carry the required equipment along with you. It is essential for you to carry towels or dry material of any kind in your gym bag because grappling sessions are known to be largely tough and tiring. The plus point is that these gym bags are not expensive at all so you do not have to spend too much after you have already brought the equipment. Getting hold of a gym bag is not very difficult since they are easily available at the Jiu Jitsu store. The good news here is that you can easily invest in a gym bag as they are readily made available at the Jiu Jitsu store.

As you all must be very well aware, Jiu Jitsu tends to involve a hand to hand combat, which is why protecting your teeth becomes a must and thus buying a mouth piece is mandatory. On an overall level, this mixed martial art form is known to be taken up by professionals who are trained to give a tough time to the opponent. It would be wise of you to invest in a mouth guard so as to be able to protect your mouth from injury irrespective of the fact whether or not it is a fight or even a grappling session for that matter. If you were to participate in a light practice, then in that case a mouth guard isn't required. In the end, protection for your mouth is truly required in order to stay away from the negative impact of the accidental punch that lands on your face.

In order to keep your body parts safe make it a point to wear an armor. In order to do away with serious injuries a protective gearing becomes a must. To keep injuries away you need to invest in just the right protective gear that is otherwise available at the Jiu Jitsu store. Grappling on the mat may seem like a lesser threat as far as injuries are concerned but you should not take any risk. Make sure that you get all these items before moving on to training at a fierce pace.
