Lifting weights? Lift heavy | Walla Walla Union-Bulletin

Lifting weights? Lift heavy | Walla Walla Union-Bulletin: "I am to the point that when I hear the word “tone” I twitch.

#It’s like hearing nails on a chalkboard at this point. It’s become a word that women throw around when they refer to how they want to change their bodies.

#We have popularized this awful word because we don’t want to get strong or — God forbid — build muscle.

#We want to “tone.”"

Unilateral Exercise Movements | Men's Health

Unilateral Exercise Movements | Men's Health: "Most guys have a strong side and a weak side (yes, even you). While you don’t consciously try to make one arm bigger or one leg more powerful than the other, it happens when you only perform bilateral moves. These moves—like the bench press or barbell squat—work both limbs at the same time, allowing your dominant side to overpower your non-dominant side, says James Sjostrom, owner of CrossFit NRG in Salt Lake City, Utah and creator of the 4-Week Body Fat Detonator. The result: Your strong side keeps getting stronger and your weak side doesn't."

The Biceps Blaster | Men's Health

The Biceps Blaster | Men's Health: "In terms of muscle size, your biceps are relatively small. But that doesn't stop most men from having an oversize affection for them.

Lose weight and build muscle

Lose weight and build muscle: "The first thing you need to do to lose weight and build muscle is to find out what your base metabolic rate is, your BMR. This will tell you how many calories you need to maintain your current weight, then you need to cut the calories you eat by 15% if you want to lose weight. Don't cut more than that or you won't build muscle while you lose weight."

10 Top Fat Burners at Gym

10 Top Fat Burners at Gym: "'Fat burning' has become a potent phrase in the fitness industry because it's easy to relate body fat to the use of fat directly as fuel. Your body's energy expenditure environment is somewhat more complicated than that, but in any case, burning body fat is a reasonable aim of any fitness program."
