Who
am I and why should you listen to me? My name is Blake
Kassel simply put, I have already tried it all. I had my first set
of free weights when I was 13, a Soloflex when I was 15, and joined
 one
of the first hard-core bodybuilding gyms in NYC (Madison Avenue
Muscle) when I was 16. I once tried
to calculate all of the time that I had spent in the gym and collectively
it worked out to several years! At the beginning people would always
tell me that when I grew older my muscles would turn to flab. Well,
19 years later I am in the best shape of my life. There were so
many times throughout the years that I had to take a break from
the gym because of the boredom. there was a simple solution, however,
change my routine. As soon as I made even just minor changes, I
regained the fever. At the beginning
it was difficult. All of the muscle magazines recommended something
else and would list the routines of some of the top pros. After
trying so many of them I realized that you must take parts of different
routines to make the one that is right for you. I have made
all of the mistakes so that you do not have to. In this site you
will find routines for almost every goal in addition to tips about
the different exercises that may include in your routine. Yeah,
I know that you know what you are doing, but these little biomechanical
tips totally transformed my workout after I had already been working
out for 10 years. Enjoy the site
and please feel free to e-mail me the routines that have worked
for you so that I can post them on the site. Wait!
Before you start looking, here is some General workout info Reps and
sets - One common question when it comes
to workout routines is how many reps and sets should be performed
per exercise. Let's start from the beginning. You always want to
balance the amount of weight and number of reps so that your muscle
is struggling on the last rep of the set. Different rep ranges stimulate
different types of muscle. everyones body is made up of 2 types
of muscle tissue:
 Fast
twitch muscle fibers - These are the muscle fibers that are
responsible for short, explosive and powerful movements. Fast
twitch fibers are the ones that grow!
Slow twitch
muscle fibers - These are the muscle fibers that are responsible
for endurance. They do not really respond to resistance training
with any type of growth or hypertrophy.
Everyone's body
has a different ratio of fast and slow twitch muscle fibers. it's
real easy to figure out. Simply ask the person what type of exercise
they enjoy. If they say that they hate weight lifting but love long
distance running - that's a slow twitch person right there. If they
say that they could live in the gym but hate to run long distances
- that is a fast twitch person. Breathing
- Another question which comes up often is how to breathe when
you are exercising. For cardio, that's easy. In through your nose
(warms and filters the air) and out through your mouth. For resistance
exercises there are many opinions. Some experts believe that you
should inhale on the eccentric part of the movement (the lengthening
of the muscle) and exhale on the concentric (the shortening of the
muscle). That is actually the method of breathing that I have always
use with great results. Others feel that you should just breathe
naturally throughout the exercise. *important note
- when you are lifting one way of breathing that you do not want
to For each different
goal; bodybuilding, powerlifting, general body toning, there is
a certain amount of time that you should take between each set.
This is just one of the pieces of information that you will find
under each of the workout routine pages. Cardio
- You know, it kills me when I see people in the gym performing
cardio incorrectly or just going through the motions. Why even go
to the gym if you are going to dog it or perform an exercise in
such a way that you hardly break a sweat? Example #1: walking or
jogging on the treadmill without an incline. If you think that you
get a lot of benefit from this think again! On the treadmill all
you have to do is lift your leg because the belt keeps coming around.
The only way that you are REALLY going to get any type of benefit
from the treadmill is to add an incline. You are going to have to
trust me on this one, the difference when you add an incline is
exponential. Good luck with
your workout routines!
