Avoid Aspirin If You Want To Build Muscle Mass

A lot of people believe that taking a NSAID (non-steroidal inflammatory drug), like aspirin, will help relieve some of the soreness we feel when we train with weights when our goal is to build muscle mass and gain weight.

Well, I'm here to tell you that's a BIG mistake.

Taking medications such as aspirin can have a negative affect on your muscle building / weight gaining goals.

This is because once aspirin is inside the body it blocks the effects of something called “prostaglandins”, which are what causes the slight inflammation that surrounds a wound.
Well, this blocking of prostaglandins is bad when you are trying to gain weight in muscle form because the release of prostaglandins are part of the all-important "recovery and rebuilding" process that the body puts in motion whenever it senses some kind of an "injury", including the micro-traumas that are caused when you lift weights to build muscle.

If you were to take aspirin, it would block these protaglandins, which in turn would slow down tremendously the "recovery and rebuilding" process of the muscle tissues.......and as a result........slower muscle / weight gain!It is also believed that one of the many reasons that anabolic steroids work at building muscle mass is because it assists the prostaglandins in the body, which results in quicker recovery, rebuilding of muscle tissue, and growth.So, then, what should you do if you are suffering from the ache and soreness caused by intense, heavy weight training?There are many “exterior” techniques, as I like to call them, that can be used for relief of muscle soreness.They are “exterior” techniques because it is something you do from the outside of the body to obtain the relief, in contrast to an “interior” technique, like taking a pill, which then works on the body from the inside.

Some of these exterior techniques that you can apply are:

1) deep tissue massage, which helps to break down knots, pinched nerves, and helps release toxins from the muscles

2) ice, which when applied right on the sore area of the muscle will help reduce the swelling and inflammation that sometimes causes the pain in the area

3) stretching after a workout, which will help loosen up any tightness resulting from the workoutSo, instead of taking aspirin (or any other NSAID), simply make sure that you are eating enough calories, getting enough rest, and if possible, massage the sore muscles.

Build Big Biceps – 3 Top Tips for Building Massive Biceps Quickly.

By: Richard Knight

Copyright 2006 Richard Knight

Building big biceps are a “must” for everyone trying to build muscle mass. And if you’re trying to build bigger “guns” on your arm then you need to make sure you train them the “right” way, other wise you’re just wasting your time. And believe it or not it can actually take a very long time before you start seeing results if you’re training your biceps the wrong way.

So to help you build bigger biceps extremely quickly I’m going to share 3 top tips I use to build my biceps in no time flat.

Build Big Biceps Tip #1 – Hit ‘em From ALL Angles.Your bicep muscle is made up of two main parts. To keep things simple I’ll just refer to them as the inner bicep and the outer bicep. The good thing is most bicep exercises allow you to work both parts simultaneously – which is very good for us.In order to build big biceps you have to hit ‘em from all angles. Which means you have to make sure you train your lower bicep (the part closest to your forearm), your outer bicep, your inner bicep (the part that’s closest to your chest) and your upper bicep.Make sure when you workout your biceps you train all of it’s parts if you want to build bigger, stronger and more massive biceps fast. The key to building “fuller” biceps is training each part “specifically”. So be sure to do exercises that work out each part of your bicep individually and also exercises that work out all or most of your bicep muscles simultaneously as well.

Build Big Biceps Tip #2 – Focus On Form First.This is key for weight training period, focus on your form first. If you focus on “doing” the exercise correctly, big biceps will definitely follow.When you don’t use proper form, you don’t stimulate the “deep” muscle tissues needed to build bigger biceps. With poor form you actually start using other muscles instead of specifically targeting the one you want to train (your biceps).Remember, it’s not quantity but quality. Think about it, you could lift 30 pounds ten times with poor form or 30 pounds six times with proper form, and you would notice much better results with the latter example. So remember, focus on form first and big biceps will soon follow.

Build Big Biceps Tip #3 – Don’t Cheat – “Only When You Have To”.When you’re training your biceps, it’s important “not to cheat” only when you have to. Cheating on your biceps is very common and odds are you have been doing it or will do it if you don’t pay attention.Remember to lift the weight “at your biceps” and only at your biceps, don’t throw your shoulder into it to help you with the workout. In order to build big biceps you have to isolate the bicep, which means only use your biceps to complete your reps.

So when do I cheat? – Well, unless you have a spot while you’re doing bicep workout, you can get away with cheating but only in one situation.And that situation is once your biceps have already failed. In other words, once you have worked your biceps to failure and you’re trying to complete more reps, then you can cheat your way through 1 or two more reps. But only once your biceps have failed “using proper form” are you allowed to cheat.

If you’re ready to build big biceps and quickly just follow these 3 simple tips and you’ll be on the road to a big biceps in no time flat.

Protein the primitive Body nutrition


Protein is primitive substance of human nutrition. Protein comes from the Greek "prota", meaning "of primary importance" and were first described and named by Jöns Jakob Berzelius in 1838. Proteins are large organic compounds made of amino acids arrange in a linear chain and joined together between the carboxyl atom of amino acid and the amine nitrogen. Proteins are essential parts of all living organisms and participate in every process within cell.

Amino acids are the basic structural building units of protein. Most amino acids occur in two possible optical isomers, called D and L. The L-amino acids represent the vast majority of amino acids found in proteins. D-amino acids are found in some proteins produced by exotic sea-dwelling organisms, such as cone snails. There are twenty standard amino acids which are encoded by the standard genetic code. Some of the 20 standard proteinogenic amino acids are called essential amino acids because human body cannot synthesize them from the other compounds through chemical reaction. One way to get them is obtained from food.

There are 10 essential amino acids.

- Isoleucine: food sources of isoleucine are eggs, chicken, pork, mutton, pulses, soy beans, cottage chess, milk, piyal seeds, cashew nuts, and cereal grains.
- Leucine: The most common amino acid found in proteins. It also plays a part in maintaining muscles by equalizing synthesis and breakdown proteins. Food sources of leucine are whole grains and milk product, egg, pork, beef, chicken, pulses, soy beans, leafy vegetables
- Lysine: food sources of lysine are fish, soy beans
- Methionine: Sulfur-containing proteinogenic amino acid. Food sources of methionine are spinach, green peas, garlic, cheeses, corn, brazil nuts, pistachios, cashew nuts, kidney beans, chicken, beef, fish, vegetables, nuts, legumes
- Phenylalanine: Food sources of phenylalanine are dairy food (curd, milk, cottage cheese), avocados, pulses and legumes, nuts, piyal seeds, leafy vegetables, whole grains, poultry, fish and sea foods.
- Threonine: Food sources of threonine are cottage cheese, poultry, fish, meat, lentils, and sesame seeds.
- Tryptophan: A precursor for serotonin, melatonin and niacin. Food sources of tryptophan are oats, bananas, dried dates, milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, meat, fish, poultry, sesame, chickpeas, peanuts.
- Valine: Food sources of valine are cottage cheese, fish, poultry, peanuts, sesame seeds, lentils.
- Arginine (essential only in certain cases): A semiessential or conditionally essential amino acid , depending on the developmental stage and health status of the individuals. Food sources of arginine are chocolate, wheat germ and flour, buckwheat, granola, oatmeal, dairy products, beef, pork, coconut, pecans, cashews, walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, hazel nuts, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, poultry, pheasant, quail, seafood, soy beans.
- Histidine (essential only in certain cases): Food sources of histidine are grapes, meat, poultry, milk products, root vegetables, green vegetables.

Proteins are necessary for body builders because main point of body building is lifting weight to rip muscles but don’t make it injure. Proteins which body builders consume go to renovate muscles from ripping; remaining proteins go to increase muscles size. A sufficient protein for body builder should be 1 – 1.5 grams per 1 pound of body weight per day. But don’t be confuse protein weight and food weight, because in one kind of food there are many type of nutrition such as fat, carbohydrate, fiber and minerals. A piece of beef separable lean and fat, trimmed to 0 inch fat weight 100 grams contains with protein 30.5 grams, carbohydrate 0 gram, fat 9.4 grams and has 215 calories. A piece of chicken meat and skin weight 100 grams contains with protein 22 grams, carbohydrate 10.3 grams, fat 21.9 grams and has 331 calories.

Protein that human consume will transform to amino acids. If human body cannot absorb all of amino acids, amino acids cannot hold up in the body. Amino acids will release to urine. Body builders who must consume more protein than another people should calculate their sufficient protein for getting high useful protein in each day.
