The No-Supplement Way To Gain Muscle
August 23, 2010 by JoelC2009 · 4 Comments
When people normally hear the term muscle gainer they think of a protein powder or some sort of supplement. You can certainly get some benefits from supplements, but you don’t need them when you’re trying to build muscle. People were gaining muscle long before a single supplement hit the market. In truth, the best muscle gain is a combination of proper training and healthy nutrition – not some crazy high-protein fad diet.
Tip #1 – How To Create A Good “Muscle Gainer” Routine
If you want to gain muscle, it’s my opinion that you should develop a workout plan that includes 6-15 reps alternated with 2-5 reps. The reason for this is simple: the higher amount of reps build up fluid inside the muscle cells, while the lesser amount of reps will develop the muscle cells’ muscle tissue. Rapid muscle growth will happen as a result of increased cellular fluid; muscle strength and density are created by the added muscle tissue that is formed.
Your Workout Shouldn’t Combine Both High and Low Rep Training
Our bodies are smart and they really like to adapt to a set pattern, For example, if you mix both low and high reps in your workout, your body will adjust to the rep range. Does the saying “jack of all trades, master of none” sound familiar? It is important to remember this while training. The best muscle gainer workout will involve a period of time lifting for cell volume in the high rep range and a period of time building muscle tissue in the low rep range.
Another Approach is to Simply Just Lift 5 Reps Per Set
If you look around at the gym, there are very few lifters that follow this proven 5 reps method to increase muscle mass. It really gives great results for those who do, however, because it will steadily increase the strength, density and muscle size of the lifter. Unfortunately, muscle growth will be much slower than for those who do the typical 6-15 reps method. However, with this method your muscles will grow to be much more defined and dense.
Tip #4 – The Structure Of The 5×5 Muscle Gainer Set
If you’re doing the 5×5 reps, you shouldn’t use high reps as a warm up. Instead, loosen your muscles with a weight that you can easily lift 10 times – but just lift it five times. For the second set, pick something you could lift 8 times and do it 5 times. Sets of 3-5 reps should be done with a weight that you would have some difficulty lifting for 5 reps; just don’t choose one that can hurt you. If you avoid failure you send positive feedback to your nervous system and will get stronger in the long run.
Simplicity Is Key For the Muscle Gainer Diet
For every pound of body weight that you have, you need to consume approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of a gram of protein each day. So for a man that weighs 200 pounds, he should consume between 100-130 grams of protein each day. The calories should be kept around 12 per pound of body weight. You really don’t need any muscle gainer supplements if you follow this simple diet and workout approach.
Sign Language And The World Of The Deaf

It is so easy to take things for granted. Those of us with all our senses. The sight of a beautiful sunrise, or the sound of the birds chirping on the morning. There are those who will never know what these things are like. Some of us do not really know how blessed we are. The world of the deaf can be such a quiet one in so many ways.It is more than just not hearing sounds. It is never being able to hear a loved one say, “I love you.” This affects the heart more than it affects the ears.
Sign language is by no means a substitute for hearing,but it is a start way to communicate with others. Sometimes I wonder what the bigger problem is with being deaf,that you can not hear or that there are so few people who take the time to learn sign language. It is not very hard to learn and quite honestly,it can make the difference between somebody feeling excluded from this world and being a part of it.
If you take the time to watch two people sign, you will notice a connection between them that you will normally not find between individuals. When we speak casually with each other,sometimes we do not even make eye contact,instead focusing our attention on what is on the T.V or on our computer screens when we are surfing the Internet. But when people speak to each other through sign
language,they really do connect.
language is probably the most popular and widely used. It is not hard to learn. Yes,it does take a little bit of time,but anything worth while is going to take time. Besides,the satisfaction that you will feel once you have mastered the language,well,it is like nothing else you are ever going to experience. It is a kind of good feeling inside that you are part of somebody else world that you might not normally ever get to enter. The bond you will share is quite special.
Make yourself a part of their world and make a difference.

Did it ever happen to you that you were in a public place and you got a call that not only you but several other people reach for there mobile phone because they have the same ringtone? This is very annoying and I think you should try everything to not let this happen again, dare to be different and get a customised ringtone.
As everybody knows new ringtones are not cheap but if you look for the right websites you can find mobile content that is also available for your budget. Make sure that you download the newest ringtones on your mobile phone.
More mature people just have a simple ringtone just to know when they receive a call or message. For younger people it much more than just a sound, it’s letting others know what kind of music you like, witch band or artist and especially witch hit of the moment. If your phone has the coolest realtones you are the man, every teenager likes cool ringtones nowadays. Just give it a try and you will see how people will react when they hear your ringtone.
There are a lot of websites where you can listen to a preview before ordering the funniest truetones, in this way you make sure that you are not spending a lot of money on something that is not what you actually want. Make sure you update them frequently because other people will do the same as you so you will not be unique anymore.
Customising your ringtones on your mobile phone is cool and hopefully you will be the only one that reaches for his phone the next time you are in a public place.
