Healthy Tips on Muscle Building

Everybody wants a great body. But would you rather have it through using unhealthy means of achieving it? It is still best to use healthy means though longer, than risking your body.

Would you rather take the drugs that guarantee you stuffed muscles after just a few weeks of body building that could potentially have other harmful effects? Or will you choose to take the longer and healthier way but you do get your insides intact?


The healthier way guarantees that you’d still have intact muscles even if you age.  Who wouldn’t want that?

There are some supplements available in the market that cause more harm than good to your system. Though they promise instant results, these promises are mostly empty. Be wise and don’t let some of these supplements fool you. There are also medicines like steroids that promise to give you pumped up muscles. Don’t be fooled; these effects are merely superficial. It will not last long like the effects promised by healthy muscle building. Vince delmonte mention these things in his no nonsense muscle building program.

Train your muscles hard but allow it to rest. Allow them to recover. If you don’t then you’ll just be in pain. You should do alternate workouts for different muscle groups to maximize muscle building.

Practice safe muscle building.  Learn exercises by heart. Avoid potential injury. Consult professionals if needed. Don’t forget to perform warm up exercises before performing your workout routines. Do cool down exercises too after working out.

Eat the right kinds of food. Choose nutrition-dense foods. Don’t forget to balance your diet well. Eat carbohydrates for they give your body energy to use when doing workouts.

Don’t forget proteins. They are buildings blocks of your muscles. Choose lean proteins. Eat good fats. You should also avoid alcohol-containing beverages. Avoid eating junks. Drink plenty of water to avoid cell dehydration.

You are responsible for your body. It is still after all, your call.

The Best Tricep Workouts Ever

The triceps are actually any muscle groups that have three heads. When people normally mention the triceps, they are talking about that large muscle groups that are found under the upper arm, corresponding to the biceps that are found on the top of the upper arm that weightlifters normally contract.

The triceps are around 70% of your upper arm muscle and its primary functions are to straighten the arm and then bring it back towards the body. Mainly, tricep workouts are for aesthetic reasons, since these dreaded “saggy, slack-y arms” show a lack of definition that makes people appear older than they really are. Even Vince Delmonte mention these things in his no nonsense muscle building program.

One great exercise is the tricep kickback, which start in a kneeling position on the bench, the other foot on the floor. Support yourself with your corresponding arm on the bench. Keep yourself in a balanced position!

Arrange yourself so your torso becomes parallel to the floor with your abs tucked in and you looking straight ahead. With the dumb-bell in your free hand, raise your elbow until your upper arm is parallel to the ceiling, or higher. Then, lift the weight backward to straighten the arm without locking the elbow or changing the position of your elbow and wrist. Bring is slowly back into position.

Another great tricep workout is the dip. This classic exercise is done on a Roman chair or parallel bars, while the body is help straight upright. Do at least 5 reps and then add a weighted belt once you can go over five easily. Raise and lower yourself slowly, without bouncing or forcing. Keep the shoulders straight so they're not pulled out of alignment.

Complete your workout with a diamond push-up with a clap after each rep. Position your hands with the index fingers and thumbs touching then push yourself up and clap before you return your hands to the same position. Work up to ten pushups before clapping!

Should you get ‘Getting Stronger’ or ‘No Nonsense Muscle Building’?

Good shape, which is what people now a day are desperate about. Whatever may be the cost in monetary or biological context; we are ready to pay. A crystal clear live example of this fact is “Getting Stronger” by Bill Pearl and “’No Nonsense Muscle Building” by Vince Delmonte. Both these books are for Weight training and muscle building, with a hair line difference that segregates the segment of buyers.

Difference between weight training and muscle building

Weight training is meant for both professional fitness training in the gym and general training at home. It can be for athletes, gymnasts, body builders who require perfectly toned body as well as for a common man. On the other hand muscle building is specifically for body-building. Here although the gamut of followers is quite high; ranging from skinny to bulky, but its spectrum is really limited to good shape and looks.

Different approach

Both these books have different approach. ‘Getting Stronger’ has touched upon various areas of weight training, taking plethora of experience and influence of its author Bill Pearl; who is a four-time Mr. Universe and bodybuilding legend. It has contents that are truly genuine and effective. On the other hand ‘No Nonsense Muscle Building’ is specifically targeting the segment of skinny people & people desperate to get perfect shape. Most of the instructions mentioned in “NNMB” are general, not at all revolutionary.

Personal opinion

Personal opinions are purely subjective, based on your experience and your approach towards something. Keeping those aspects in mind what we can say is that both the books are good but for different segments. People with ease to achieve approach and at the novice stage can go for ‘No Nonsense Muscle Building’ but skilled, experienced, keen learners and professionals would definitely like to go with ‘Getting Stronger’.
