Title: Step To Improve Workout


1
IMPORTANT WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR WORKOUT
2
Sweat is Fat Crying
  • Work is something you do in your spare time.
    Working out, on the other hand, is an essential
    life task, In this bold, fitness-driven world,
    your benefits include being strong, looking
    fantastic and feeling even better. Life is good.
    Your workout doesn't start when you walk into the
    gym - it begins when you wake up in the morning
    and continues throughout the day.

3
Eat slow-digesting carbs before workouts
  • Researchers at Loughborough University (UK)
    discovered that when athletes ate slow-digesting
    carbs such as whole grains for breakfast and
    lunch, they had lower insulin levels and burned
    more fat during the day. The athletes also had
    more endurance and burned more fat during
    exercise compared to those who ate fast-digesting
    carbs such as white bread or plain bagels.

4
Avoid higher-fat meals for up to four hours
before workouts
  • A University of Maryland School of Medicine study
    reported that a high-fat meal blunts the ability
    of nitric oxide (NO) to dilate blood vessels for
    up to four hours. That means less blood flow to
    muscles and less of a muscle pump, which is even
    more costly if you've invested in an NO
    supplement.

5
Eat a Green Salad
  • Maryland researchers also discovered that
    consuming a small green salad with a high-fat
    meal prevented the adverse effects on blood
    vessel dilation, likely by enhancing NO.

6
Eat Buckwheat
  • Buckwheat, found in buckwheat pancakes and soba
    noodles, is a fruit seed that's often used as a
    substitute for grains. It digests slowly, which
    helps increase endurance and fat-burning.

7
Take 20 Grams Of Whey Protein
  • Researchers from Victoria University reported
    that subjects who consumed a protein and creatine
    supplement immediately before and after workouts
    over a 10-week period

8
Take 200-400 mg of caffeine
  • caffeine taken Preworkout increases fat-burning
    and endurance and blunts muscle pain during
    training, which means you can do more reps.

9
Take 3-5 Grams Of Arginine
  • One study reported in the journal Nutrition that
    trained subjects who took arginine supplements
    for eight weeks increased their 1RMs for the
    bench press by almost 20 pounds more than those
    who took a placebo.

10
Use Forced Reps On Your Last Sets
  • A Finnish study found that when subjects
    performed a workout with forced reps, their
    growth hormone levels were almost 4,000 higher
    than without using forced reps. For the last set
    of each exercise after reaching failure , Go for
    2-3 extra forced reps, but utilize these
    sparingly to prevent overtraining.

11
Vary Your Rep Speed
  • Subjects performing fast repetitions gained more
    strength than subjects using slow reps because
    fast-twitch muscle fibers have the greatest
    potential for strength increases. But the
    slow-rep subjects gained more muscle mass than
    the fast-rep subjects.

12
Use an I-Pod
  • A study done at the Weirder Research Group found
    that when trained bodybuilders performed a
    shoulder workout while listening to music on a
    personal MP3 player, they were able to complete
    an average of 1-2 more reps per set for all sets
    of all exercises.

13
Save cardio for after your weight workout
  • Researchers found that when subjects did cardio
    before weights, their GH response to the weight
    workout was blunted by about 1,100 compared to
    when they lifted first and ended with cardio.

14
Stretch Only After Training
  • Stretching right before weightlifting can
    actually make you weaker during training.
    Researchers from the University of Texas reported
    that athletes who stretched after their workouts
    were more flexible than when they stretched
    beforehand.
