Weight Lifting Routines

1. Bodybuilding magazines are really "drug programs." They tell you to "train hard" but make "hard training" impossible by prescribing weight lifting routines that have 12-24 sets per body part. You can only build muscle with this kind of volume if you're using drugs to speed up your recovery.

2. Supplements are only necessary if you have hit a 90% threshold in your training, nutrition and lifestyle. Even if you do introduce supplements at that point, don't expect any miracles - they will only make a 1-2% difference in gaining lean muscle mass and getting stronger.

3. Your body can only manufacture 1-2 pounds of "dry muscle" each month which results in extra storage space for glycogen and water. Hence you can only gain 3-4 pounds of "lean muscle mass" on a monthly basis. It's physiologically impossible (without drugs) to build more than 12-24 pounds of rock hard muscle over the course of the year. A little different then what the magazines tell you eh?

4. Most skinny guys are taking advice from bodybuilders, magazines and websites that are promoted by guys with amazing genetics. You should not be taking advice from a guy who can not relate to your "muscle unfriendly genes," or from a guy who does not have the same body structure or the same metabolism. Would you take money advice from a guy who inherited a fortune? Would you take money advice from a guy who won the lottery? No! So why are you taking bodybuilding advice from guys with great genetics and who are using steroids?

Growing up I was always picked on. Called toothpick, sticks, rail, and even having jokes like "Bo has to run around in the shower to get wet."

Tired of people calling me skinny, I decided to pack on the muscle. The problem was that being skinny came with a high metabolism. So I strived to hard to gain muscles and was successful at it, but it came with a price.

Having to learn on my own, it took years to figure out what in the world I was doing. But now you can save yourself the trial and error because No Nonsense Muscle Building cuts out the guess work for you.

I have tried numerous supplements and started thinking that all were the same. But in January 2004, I had a great conversation with a friend and he exposed me to Cell Tech (creatine drink) and Nitro Tech (protien shake) made by Muscle Tech.

He said that he had amazing results from it but I didn't believe him because of my experiance before with supplements. But he was like a salesman to me that night, telling me of all that it did for him and how he packed on some serious weight and strength, he convinced me to look into it.

The best thing ever, Cell Tech stacked with Nitro Tech was the recommended approach. So I said what the heck, just do it.

So I did. Now grant it, the recommended dosage for Cell Tech is 2 scoops, I only did one. Within 2 months I had packed on 14 pounds of solid muscle and when I came off of the supplements I didn't loose anything.

If you take these two with a proper diet and great weight lifting routines, you will see massive results in a short period of time. Don't take my word for it, try it yourself.

My hat goes off to the scientist at MuscleTech for what they have come up with, and Cell Tech and Nitro Tech are my products of choice.

Going to the gym isn't always feasable by certain aspects of life. Whether you are a traveler for work, time may not permit, or you just can't afford the gym, these are always legitimate reasons not to make it to the gym but they aren't for working out.

You can design weight lifting routines soley off of natural body weight and other surroundings.

If you have ever seen Rocky IV, you see this man didn't have the machines but made use of the different elements in his surroundings. He was doing one armed push ups, pull ups on the edge of a balcony, over extended sit ups off the balcony, running with lumber on his back and cutting through massive blocks of wood.

Now this is hollywood, but something can be learned. There are natural ways to build muscle. Charles Atlas had this concept uderstood.

So doing push ups, sit ups, pull ups, dips, arm resistance curls (pushing down with one arm and curling up with the other), and any other natural way can be of great benefit. It may not sound to exciting but the results can be the same.

So let me give you an example of what I would do;

3 sets of push ups getting in as many as I can.
Ex. first set would be 54, second set 32 and final set 18.

3 sets of chair to chair dips. Hands on one chair while legs are extended to the other chair and body elevated in between the gap.
Get as many as I can.

3 sets of pull ups on my stairwell.

And a massive amount of crunches. As many as I can get.

If you are diligent you can get some great results.

Now I am an advocate of the gym because it opens up much more possibilities, but it is not neccesary unless you are wanting to go from being Bruce Lee to becoming Arnold Schwarznegger.
