Abs Fitness To Get 6-Pack Abs

Man does not get six-pack abs on crunches alone. While the first prehistoric man to sport ridges on his underbelly (after he got rid of the scales) was probably very active, his mastodon meals were loaded with protein, and he didn't have to worry about highly processed foods. Considering he had a brain the size of a small lemon, his ab-friendly nutritional regimen wasn't the result of forethought; rather it was a series of small strategies he incorporated unconsciously. That's what we have come up with for you: 12 small nutritional tweaks that are so painless, you won't take notice of them until your stomach begins to look like the back of a stegosaurus, and the local women start migrating to your cave without requiring the customary club-strike to the backs of their heads.

1 Don't cut too much fat. It may be tempting, in your quest for perfect abs, to completely embargo all fat, but it's not wise. In research conducted at Harvard University Medical School, subjects on a low-calorie, moderate-fat weight-loss diet were able to stay with the program longer and adhere to it more closely than those who cut fat out altogether. Stick with Mediterranean-style fats such as olive oil, fish, nuts and avocados, which do not promote heart disease or cancer, but do have health benefits such as lowering your cholesterol and protecting your joints.

2 Use nonfat dairy products high in calcium. Substituting nonfat milk for whole milk is a no-brainer, but clearing out all that saturated sludge is just one of the pluses. Scientists at the Department of Nutrition at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, found that subjects who included nonfat calcium sources in their diets lost more body fat than calcium-free subjects.

3 Drink more water. For years you have heard doctors, nutrition experts, personal trainers and MEN'S FITNESS apostles say you need to drink eight 8-ounce of glasses of water a day. This is great advice for maintaining overall heath and ensuring optimal performance, but if you can swallow a bit more, you can burn extra fat. In a study published in the journal Metabolism, subjects who hyperhydrated experienced greater lipolysis, the burning of stored fat. Water helps mobilize fat stores, while dehydration prompts stubborn fat to sit tight (or, more accurately, sit loose). Many weight-loss experts believe that drinking one ounce of water (or any noncaffeinated, nonalcoholic beverage) per pound of body weight is the formula for effective fat burning.

4 Avoid carbonated beverages. If you're trying to lose fat, full-sugar sodas should be one of the first things you banish from your diet. However, many bodybuilders and other physique competitors stay away from carbonated drinks, even diet ones, as they believe the beverages cause bloating and water retention, perhaps due to the sodium content.

5 Replace starches with vegetables. While we don't endorse voguish carb-restricted diets, it is true that many people overeat carbs, especially processed ones. Try cutting your usual portions of rice, potatoes or pasta in half, substituting a cup of a vegetable such as broccoli, cauliflower, green beans or zucchini. While a cup of white rice contains 240 calories, a cup of mixed steamed vegetables has only 50.

6 Don't eat a big evening meal. A lot of guys harbor the false notion that skipping meals during the day will help them shed pounds. However, this inevitably leads to massive bingeing at night, which is a sure way to put on flabby pounds. Instead, eat your bigger meals earlier in the day and progressively downsize the later it gets. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition showed that calories eaten in the morning are much more likely to be used for energy than calories eaten at night, which easily go unused and are stored as fat.

7 Creatine helps burn fat. For years creatine has been used to pump up muscles, but it also helps burn calories. A study published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine showed that creatine can help you burn an extra 100 calories a day. Try five grams a day, taken after your workout, for at least six weeks.

8 Vary your caloric intake. Instead of eating the same thing day in and day out, try this: Eat very strictly two days a week and moderately three days a week, then give yourself a little slack on the weekends. (We said a little.) The opportunity to splurge a bit makes it easier for you to stay on a low-calorie intake for longer periods. It also sends your body mixed signals, never giving it the chance to kick in its primitive survival mechanism that stores fat when calories are cut back.

9 Pump up the protein. When you decrease your total calories, you need to increase your protein intake an extra 20 percent to maintain your muscle mass and keep your metabolism in high gear. For a guy who weighs 180 pounds, this computes to 36 grams of protein a day. Calorically, this won't make much of a difference; it's only an extra 144 calories.

10 Make some of it casein protein. Casein protein, found in milk and cottage cheese, is a slow-burning protein that takes more time to break down than whey. By staying in your system for a longer period, it provides your muscles with a steady stream of amino acids, helping maintain your muscle mass and thus keeping your fat-burning furnace stoked.

Hello! Here is a video showing how to get big arm. Arm have 2 parts, one is the biceps, and another is triceps. Biceps i had already posted few days ago. Now is the triceps turns! :)


Most of us have weak triceps, so i suggest that we should start with light weight for the video above. This is to prevent your elbow getting hurt.

After this workout, we should be move on to dips to further strength our triceps.


For those who do the tricep exercise for the first time, you will feel a great pain on your tricep, but its okay. This mean that your muscle is growing. Alrights, i will end here. My next post will be on shoulder. :)

This World Cup 2010 Seems To Be Not That Enjoyable Compared To Year 2002 & 2006. From What I Can Recalled, Brazil The 5 Years Championship Lose To Holland Which Does Not Even Hold A Single Champion Before. Nevertheless, Italy & France Met In World Cup 2006 Final But They Never Even Enter Quarter Final In This World Cup 2010. What Actually Went Wrong? I Can Only Say That Italy, France & Brazil Have No Good Team Management Therefore They Led To Failure. I Am Already Looking Forward To World Cup 2014 In Brazil. Which Team Actually Stays In My Mind For The World Cup 2014? For Me, I Love Spain Since I Small Therefore I Support Spain All The Way. But Germany Always Let Me Give Them A 'Thumb Up' For Their Matches. Their Formation And Players Are Truly Amazing. I Pretty Love To See The Combination Of Thomas Mueller And Miroslav Klose. Once They Tag Team, I Can Say They Hold The Highest Chances Of Winning. Without One Of Them, They Might Lose The Game.

That's All For Today!
I Shall End Here.

Eight picks, eight correct, eight tentacles. Paul the Oracle Octopus is clearly the biggest winner of the World Cup after recording a perfect prognostication record whether he knows it or not.

Since Paul is an international celebrity of the highest order now, everyone wants a piece of him - both literally and figuratively. Italy is trying to claim that he was caught in Italian waters, Spanish businessmen are trying to buy him for €30,000 ($38,000), and Dutch priests tried to dismiss him.

Let me analyse the probability of the winning rate.
8 picks, 8 wins.
0.5 To The Power Of 8(Wins) = 1/256
Amazing? A octopus can simply make a wild guess and strike in consecutive 8 times in a row. If he can live till next World Cup, I believed Singapore Pools will definitely close down as soon as possible.

At first, this octopus never really let me believe him so much till the match Germany versus Spain that let me see through his physics power. That's all I have to say for today.

This is an example of carom pool. Semih Sayginer is also one of the famous carom players. These are the trick shoot that includes masse and many tricks that we have not seen.
Masse is actually a french word if im not wrong.It stand for a very strong type of spin.

In Singapore, we seldom see carom billards.It is not common seen as not many people know the rules of carom.However now i have shared a simple version of carom,hope you will enjoy it. In singapore, 8 feet and 9 feet pool tables are commonly seen. Theres also such things as snooker.

World Cup 2010

This is one of his recent matches.The type of game is 9 ball pool. His opponent was Mika Immonen.They had to play a race to 7 to determine who is the winner. Reyes played quite well during the match.In this game, both players make use of two different types of cue sticks:Breaking cue and personalise cue. Reyes won the game with 7-0.

In this video, Reyes did a marvellous 4 bank shot to kick in the ball.

What is a kick shot?
It is a shot in which the cue ball is driven to one or more rails (cushions in British English) before reaching its intended target—usually an object ball.

A 4 bank shot! No wonder he was nicknamed the Magician!Its so impossible to do that.

There will be more updates!

Paul Scholes Regrets Turning Down WC 2010 Chance

Paul Scholes from Manchester-United has admitted that he may have make a mistake from by not accepting England coach Fabio Capello's invitation to play at the WC 2010.

Capello attempted to draw Scholes out of international retirement in the warm-up to South Africa 2010, but the midfielder turned down the offer.

Scholes has made 66 appearances for the national side and scored 14 goals, but has not featured since retiring from international football in 2004.

The 35-year-old midfielder is now determined to win the Premier League title back from Chelsea.

That's all for today.

Tip

Leather tips of varying curvature and degrees of hardness are glued to (or in some cases screwed into) the ferrule. The tip end of the cue will vary in diameter but is typically in the 10 to 14 millimeter range with 12–13 mm for pool cues, and 10–11 mm for Snooker cues being most common.

Rounder tips impart spin to the cue ball more easily since the point of contact between the tip and the ball requires less distance from the center hit to impart the same amount of spin, due to the increased tangential contact. Tips for break and jump cues are usually nickel radius or even flatter, and sometimes made of harder materials such as phenolic resin; the shots are forceful, and usually require less spin.

Ferrule

The end of the shaft has a cuff known as the ferrule which is used to hold the cue tip in place and to bear the brunt of impact with the cue ball so that the less resilient shaft wood does not split. Ferrules are predominantly made of ivory (in case of billiards and pool), carbon fiber, or a plastic such as melamine resin, aegis or phenolic resin which are extremely durable, high-impact materials that are resistant to cracking, chipping, and breaking.

Bumper

The final part a cue is the bumper, made of rubber (pool) or leather (snooker). Though often considered less important than other parts of a cue, this part is essential for protecting a cue. The bumper protects the cue when it rests on the ground or accidentally hits a wall, table, etc. Without the bumper, such impacts might crack the butt over an extended period of time.Without the bumper, the resonance of the cue hitting the cue ball may vibrate differently than in a cue with a properly attached, tight bumper. Though minuscule, the bumper also adds some weight on the end of the cue, preserving a balance that also impacts the feel of a cue.
