Training Tip # 1
No Pain, No Gain
This is NOT a proper approach to any sort of physical activity. Pain is your body's way of telling you something is wrong, if you put your body into a situation that causes pain, chances are it is going to be damaging. Gains have never been made from slacking off, they require perseverance and hard work, but you should never hurt after a work out, especially after lifting weights.
Training Tip #2
Have a plan
If you walk into a gym hoping to do whatever workout you are in the mood for, you will have no consistency and you're muscles wont get worked to their full potential. Have a plan, and stick to it to force yourself to keep up to a standard of training.
Training Tip #3
Keep a work out log
This applies more to weight training but can be useful for cardio too. If you want to make gains, you must build up upon what you have. Keeping track of what weight you did and when will help you to stay motivated to increasing weight, and also helps to provide a goal to beat.
Training Tip #4
Rest
Over training your muscles will cause them to shrink, that's right, shrink. Resting each muscle group over 72 hours is crucial for muscle recovery. As soon as your workout is over they should be put to rest. Over training and not enough rest will tire you out, prohibit growth, and waste time. You are essentially making little tears in your muscles when lifting weights and they need time to rest before working again.
Training Tip #5
The Psychology of it
So much of training is mental, if you're not in the zone you're performance will show it. Being 100% focused on the movement will help you to achieve your goals faster. Visualize the perfect movement and your muscles growing.

Weight Loss Tips
1. Eat often and in small portions. Five or more meals a day will prevent your body from entering starvation mode and accordingly storing fat.
2. The kind of food is not the only problem, the amount of food also plays a role in weight gain. Do not gorge yourself and fill up on leaner foods and vegetables
3. Weight loss pills will help, but they can be unhealthy for your body and should not be used long term.
4. Set realistic goals. You aren't helping anyone by creating outrageous goals that you will never accomplish, you are only letting yourself down.
5. Burn more calories than you eat. Exercise often and vigorously, this along with watching what you eat will burn fat.
The answer is simple, but the process isn't. Fat is put on when more is ingested than burned. Calories are used for energy, if that energy does not get used it gets stored on your body in the form of fat.

Weight Training suppliment reviews (II)
M5 Cellucor: I don’t know exactly how this product works, but its the best creatine you can get. They optimised the way it functions and is just all around GREAT. A bit pricy though, bit its defiantly worth it. Like i said, i don’t know much about it, but it gets er’ done.
Animal Pak Universal: Universal makes great products, and Animal Pak is one of the best multi vitamins you can get. It has everything you can think of, and in about 7 different pills you take at once. There are so many vitamins, your body won’t be able to absorb all of them and you will piss a neon green.
Purple K fusion bodybuilding: I just started this creatine and it has been great. It will give you huge gains and it designed to get you the full amount of Kre-alkalyn. It is synthesized so that it has the perfect PH level. This is important so it doesn’t dissolve in your stomach and wastes it. With other product, you must take a lot so your stomach doesn’t dissolve it all, this can cause bloating and unpleasant feelings. Purple k won’t do this. This is probably the best creatine i have used.
Muscle Milk CytoSport: has gotten some good reviews before. It is supposed to increase gains, but i really didn’t like it, and noticed no difference when i was not taking it. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you are just starting out.
Jack3d USPlabs : This will also help give you a pump and energy for your workout. If you are working out, but feel tired and fatigue while you are at the gym, this will help
NO Shotgun V.3 VPX : this is a good, all around product for protein, a pump, and muscle gain. I have seen people gain a lot of lean mass on this, however it didn’t work as well for me as i expected, and therefore stopped taking it. This can be very good, but like every product, some work well for some people, others for other. This has been known to be an outstanding product though. This did work better than NO xplode for me though, i think.. took them at different times.
Black Powder MRI: This does everything No shotgun is supposed to, i didn’t like it, but some people love it. It's a lot like no shotgun

Weight Training suppliment reviews (I)
Superpump250 gaspari nutrition: Nothing else can get me a pump like this. If taken as instructed, this will do wonders. Within 30 minutes my veins are bulging. This stuff is amazing for giving you the pump that you need and it does exactly what it says which is:
-Significant Increases in Lean Mass & Strength*
-Causes Rapid and Measurable Full Body Pumps*
-Stimulates Roadmap Vascularity*
-Triggers Explosive Energy and Acute Mental Focus*
-Simultaneously Reduces Body Fat Percentage*
-Effects Become Noticeably More Potent Over Time With Regular Use
-It was also twice, tested in independent studies and came out of top both times
The only N.O. product that comes close to superpump is,
N.O. Xplode BSN: This stuff is wonderful, but stuff this good comes with conditions These conditions are, that no xplode doesn’t work for everyone. For the people that it works for, it is amazing, it will give you the energy to blow through your sets, then run across the country. The down side is, it doesn’t give everyone that good of a pump. Personally, it worked better on some friends than I, but the pump is so good it’s worth trying whether it works or not.
(I still would recommend superpump over noxplode, but noxplode CAN be better, rarely though)
Xtend SciVation: This too, works wonders for me. You could literally kill yourself today at the gym, and tomorrow you would be fine, this is the best muscle recovery I have EVER used. It will also give you a fair amount of energy to make it through the work out. This is a must have.
SizeOn gaspari nutrition: This optimizes muscle recovery time, 'reloads' muscle cells with energy and preshapes muscle cells so that they are potentially able to work harder and longer. This will help your endurance during weight training so you can work longer and harder. This doesn’t mix to well, but it is a great creatine mix, for starting out. This will also help with gaining muscle and an increased rate.
PlasmaJet gaspari nutrition: This will increase definition and vascularity, but also size, strength and endurance on a level previously unattainable by ANY other nitric oxide mediated sports supplement EVER! This is THE best NO booster ever, it literally shoots blood through your veins and helps you get nutrients to your muscles faster. This is such a good product (as are all gaspari products) and your veins will be exploding with fullness.
