Vitamin Water
Energy drinks are not only expensive but also they taste like garbage and are really bad for your health. If you are looking for a drink that will give you some boost and that is great for your body and health i would say the best thing is vitamin water. Vitamin water was created not long ago, and it contains a enormous amount of vitamins and pure flavors such as pomegranate cherry, fruit punch, lemonade and others. Speaking from experience i just had a pomegranate cherry vitamin water and it tastes amazing you would probably think its juice if i did not say vitamin water. It is so rich in nutrients and great for giving you all the vitamins your body is looking for, and it energizes you to the fullest so you can do your best in any sport or workout. The good thing is unlike energy drinks it does not have a crazy amount of sugar that is used to give you a boost for sometime then a crash later. No! what it has it healthy and pure ingredients that fortify the body. and give it the healthy boost without harming your body. There are several companies that are now making this product and those are, vitamin water, aquafina, and more. And now speaking price wise vitamin water sells from 1dollar-2dollars maximum, when energy drinks which are terribly bad for you sell for about 5-more dollars. Its common since which product i would chose. Am i right? Bellow is the nutritional fact of vitamin water that i pulled from a site.

Working out at the gym better than working out at home! PART 2
Working out at the gym better than working out at home!
If you like working out you probobly started working out at home. If so you know that its fine to workout at home but there is several limitations to that. Personally i have and still am working out at home, ive got a little gym in my house, it has the basic needs to perfom great workouts. But as you go on meaning 6 - 12 months working out you begin to notice that you need to expand your workout utilities because you went from being a beginer - intermidiate or even advanced. Which means the basics are not enought for you to fufill your workouts and by still working out at home you are now probably bored of working out alone or with a maximum of 1-3 people, which can results in the motivation status going down, which would make you less exited to workout and in rare cases quiting to fallowing your dream of becoming great. Also because you are now in a more advanced level you need all these other utilities who can cost you a lot of money price range from 100-1000. So to save you money it is best to sign up a gym i sugguest lifestyles, and goodlife fitness, which charge arround 30-40 dollars a month on a 1 year contract, its a pretty good deal if you think about it.

10/10 Gaspari Nutrition SUPERPUMP250
Gaspari nutrition is a new brand of supplements to hit the market of bodybuilding, I have seen ads of there products on the web but i was to think there products are a bunch of bull, and they do not work. As time went by i started seeing more advertisements of the brand. Then i had met a guy that was built and buff to the max, and i noticed he was buying four cans of redbull. So i couldnt help but to ask him (How did you get big, and y are you buying redbull). He replyed and told me its this new product i got and have been using called the superpump 250. I then told him how does this product work, he told me well you take it as a pre-workout supplement then when your in session of workout you will notice you have way more energy then you ever did and all that energy helps you lift double the weight you can normally lift. For example (If i could bench press 70pounds regularly, i can bench 140lbs if i take the superpump250). I was immidiatly facinated about this product and knew it actually works since the man was standing right infront me. So i went home and did a little reaserch and i did not find any bad comments or feedback about this product i went thru at least 200 comments and they all had great things to say about this product. How it has no bad side effects exept for the taste, which is why the man mixed it with redbull. And you beggin to see results in 3 days, and your body grows muscle 995% more and gives you crazy boost and pump up.
I personally did not try the product since i learned about it last week, but this friday i am going to edge nutrition to buy the supplement and i can not wait to use it. Since there is 2 month before summer break i decided to give my 100% its all or nothing. Which is why i and renewing my supplments and getting the best there is.

How to get cut/toned
In today's blog i will be explaining to you guys how to get cut, meaning getting toned and having that lean summer body everyone is looking for. First thing i want to let you know is that there is tons and tons of products out there that tell you if you use that product you will get cut for sure and you do not need to work out as much. I haven't tried these products personally but i could pretty much tell you straight up that it is all bull, The only way you could get ripped is by working hard, and being determined to acheive your goal. To get cut,ripped or whatever you may call it, takes a special kind of workout program and diet plan. In your workout plan you must implicate more cardiovasculare activities then strenght training ones, so you burn more calories and shed the extra fat. And since im guessing you already went thru that bulking up stage wich in the next post i will be talking about, would mean that you have done the weight lifting part already and have all that mass muscle under that fat so before summer comes by, say 3-4 month before, you start in the cutting phase wich means you want to add for example 3 cardio days and 2 weight lifting days so all that fat that lies over the mass muscle you got in the bulking stage goes away and all that would be left is your muscle that you can show off to the world. The workout plan is not only what you need to fallow but you also need to fallow a good diet plan, since you want to cut down wich kinda means you wanna loose weight you have to know how much calorie intake per day your body would need so you can simply find a calorie intake calculator by searching it on google or any other search engine. And all you have to do is put down your age, weight, height, gender and press calculate and it will show you three calculations 1st one would be how much calories you need to maintain your body weight, the 2nd one will tell you how much calories you need to loose weight, and last but not least the 3rd one will tell you how much calories you need to loose crazy weight, i advise you do the normal weight loss first before doing the extreme one. Below is a example of how the calorie intake calculator would look like.
Breakfast : 7/9am
Carbs : 2 servings Oatmeal = 220 calories
Protein: 1 tablespoons penut butter = 100 calories
1 large egg = 80calories
= 400 calories
1-2 hours later : Protein Shake
= 300 Calories
Lunch : 11am
Carbs : Half cup of white rice = 105 calories
Protein : 1 piece of chicken, drumstick = 110 calories

1 large egg = 80 calories
= 395 calories
Lunch Two : 3pm
Protein : Canned tuna = 190 calories
Carbs : Half cup of white rice = 105 calories
fat : 1 tablespoon peanut butter = 100 calories
= 395 calories
After workout (5:00) : Protein shake
= 300 Calories
Dinner : 7pm
Protein : 1-2 Meat/Chicken (100-200) Calories
Carbs : Half cup of white rice = 105 calories
Vegtables : Salad
1 apple : 80 calories
= 385 calories
Before bed protein drink

Creatine
In today's blog i am going to be explaining to you guys another workout supplement called Creatine, i am going to be explaining what it is, and its advantages and side effects. (First creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid that occurs naturally vertebrates and helps you supply energy to muscle Creatine was identified in 1832 when Michel Eugene chevreul discovered it as a component of skeletal muscle, which he later named creatine after the Greek word for flesh) this specified information was used from wikkipedia since i didnt know a better way to explain the definition.
Creatine is just a substance found in some foods such as animal meat, fish bassicly anything that has a skeletal tissue. But it only has a few, which is why the creatine supplement was made since it has more substance than found in foods. Creatine will help you developpe muscle quicker when working out, since your muscles will retain more water wich will make them grow. If you chose to take this supplement you need to take it wisely, so here is a step by step instruction on how to take it.
The following information is from ehow.com
STEP 1 : Begin with a loading dose. The loading dose ranges between 12 and 20 g, depending on your weight and the frequency and intensity of your workouts. The larger you are and the more frequently and intensely you work out, the higher the dose.
STEP 2: Take the loading dose in divided doses. Try for three or four times a day.
STEP 3: Continue the loading dose for five days.
STEP 4: Switch to maintenance phase after completing the initial loading dose phase. Again, the maintenance dose depends on your weight and the frequency and intensity of your workouts. The maintenance dose is between 4 and 12 g per day.
STEP 5: Take in divided doses three or four times a day.
STEP 6: Use immediately after exercising, as it will help repair your muscles faster.
STEP 7: Take for one to three months.
That is how to take creatine the right way, but there is something you got to remember when taking creatine you need to drink plenty of water so at least two gallons per day, since if you do not drink as much water your kidnees could get affected by the supplement and may lead to kidnee problems, failure.
I have not personally used this supplement, but I know people that have for some it worked and for some not as much. But before taking this supplement consult your doctor and ask him if this is right for you and if it is safe for you to take this.

Whey Protein
I am going to be explaining to you guys the use of whey protein and the advantages of the supplement. Whey protein is a mixture of globular proteins isolated from whey, it is a liquide created by the bi - product of chese. Whey is one of the best supplements out there that is really safe and helps you either loose weight and get toned or gain weight and bulk up. It does not matter if you are a beginer bodybuilder, intermidiate, advanced this protein should be used at all times if you want to see quicker results, and reconstruct your muscles faster so you would not be as sore after your workouts. As for if you do not take any protein supplments and you only workout you will grow, gain mass muscle but it will take more time than the persone who is taking protein. If you eat foods that have protein such as steak, chicken, beans that is like having whey protein but you need to eat more than you usually do so it can be equivillant to a whey protein shake. And lets face it you are not going to eat steak, chicken and other protein products each and everyday and have big portions of them. You will get sick of it, and you will waste a bunch of money on meat, poultry etc. That is why they made whey protein so you can drink a shake and have all the proteins you need in your body in minutes and it will help you replace meals. Plus it saves you money, and time, so for best recovery after workouts, and for fasters results, and 100% safe i would say whey protein is the key to success in bodybuilding.
Below is a list of whey proteins that i belive are the best
1. Optimum nutrition (whey protein) # 1 in the market
2. Now foods whey protein isolate
3. Bioplex wheyplex
4. Iss ressearch complete whey power
There is more great proteins out there but these are the ones i think are best, but that is just my opinion feel free to share yours.

Basics of bodybuilding
A beginer bodybuilder does not start of right away with a intense workout routine and start lifting hundreads of pounds right away, if you do that it will lead to serious injurys to your muscle tissues and in serious cases you will not be able to build muscle ever again. So when you are thinking of starting your bodybuilding journey start of with light weights and work your way up trust me that is the proper way to start of.
If you are still confused on how to start and create your workout routine you can sign up at http://www.freetrainers.com/ this is a website that will allow you to put down your physical information, and chose what goal you desire for example : Build mass. Then you select the difficulty you want it to be there is beginner, intermidiate, advanced. If you are just starting i would suggest you start of with beginner. All you have to do is log in click on the day of the week you are training and you will see what part of your body that you need to workout, and the exercises. A image of each work out will be provided to give you an example of the proper way to do it. So when you finish your workout you just type in your repetitions and the ammound of weights you used, and save and your good to go for the next workout.
For the supplements i suggest you ask your doctor if you are eligible to use certain supplements such as whey protein, creatine and more. If you are worried about these products you can simple reaserch them and you will learn more about them, and what they are used for. If your doctor gives you the ok on taking the supplements start of with only protein, since protein helps you rebuild your muscle faster and gives you more energy to preform more repitions. After a couple of months you will begin to see results in your body if you are satisfied stay on the protein only, but if you want to build more muscle and have more energy then you can go in the more advanced supplements, creatine and so fourth.
