Vince Delmonte is a fitness trainer and the co-author (along with Shannon Clark) of the No Nonsense Muscle Building program. There are plenty of reviews on this muscle-building program, some for and some against. If you have been working like a dog in the gym and are still sporting flabby arms and a soft stomach, you may want to read this review on Vince Delmonte to see if he will be a help or hindrance in your muscle building efforts.

It is important that a person who writes a muscle-building book is in shape. You probably would not take the advice of a flabby person or conversely a trainer who was skin and bones. Vince Delmonte is ripped and has a 10% body fat. The proof that his muscle-building program actually works is furthered by the fact that he does not use steroid, chemicals or numerous supplements to achieve his physique.

As a matter of fact, he gives a scalding review of top body building magazines revealing the fact that many are actually OWNED by supplement companies! The magazines are a merely a voice for advertisements. As well, Vince points out why their myriad of workout techniques has failed you and others who wanted to build their muscle mass and lower their body fat.

No Nonsense Muscle Building exposes the myths of muscle building and toning. If you thought circuit training was a fabulous way to tone and build your muscles in a short time, you would be wrong. Circuit training does not allow for any recovery time in between sets and therefore, you will never develop your muscles this way.

Because I did not want to have bulging muscles, I have always used high reps with low weights. No Nonsense Muscle Building points out that this is wrong. Progressive overload is the ONLY way to go. You have to continually challenge your muscles by increasing weight if you want any results.

Like I said, I do not want bulging muscles, but I do want noticeable muscles which is what toning and firming is all about. High reps and low weights were creating endurance muscles, which are long and skinny. You have to use progressive overload if you want your arm muscles to look like Sarah Jessica Parker’s sexy, toned arm muscles.

No Nonsense Muscle Building also explains the extreme importance in recovery time. We all push ourselves so much in the gym (the old no pain no gain), but if we do not allow for recovery in between sets and in between work outs, we will not see any results for all of that work. Vince has some clever tips on how to speed up this recovery time.

Clever nutritional advice and highly motivational tips are abundant in Vinces book. Interesting thoughts on clean eating and utilizing your own hormones to maximize results are also part of the program. No Nonsense Muscle Building comes with 8-10 bonuses or more.

Building Muscle The Right Way

Physical fitness is important for the health of the mind and the body. With many nations reporting more and more obese people every year, the importance of good fitness choices is also growing. Building muscles is one of the key aspects of fitness that creates a better performing body and metabolism. When aiming to build muscle, there are clear rules that can be followed to maximize the outcome.

Even those people who exercise and life weight everyday often have little knowledge of how the body goes about the art of the muscle build. Once you learn how to build muscle, the rest is simple and the metabolism effect will be noticeable within a couple of weeks.

Prepare the muscle. It is important to prepare the muscle before trying to build muscle. In fitness, stretching is important no matter the exercise the person is about to undertake and building muscle is no different. To build muscle effectively through fitness, all of the major muscles groups need to be stretched and warmed up prior to the beginning of any routines.

Just add water. Water is the most important part of our lives. Drinking water lubricates the joints, keeps the body healthy and increases the overall effect of a fitness routine and a routine to build muscle. The muscle needs water to build and therefore a minimum guideline of 8 glasses of 8 ounces of water per day are recommended. Muscle mags choose higher recommendations on many occasions, up to 1 gallon of water per day or more to build muscle effectively.

Just rip it. In order to build muscle, one must first rip the muscle. Muscle ripping happens when weights are used to lift repetitions over and over again. Once the muscle reaches a fitness level where it can not longer lift the same weight again, or make another repetition, the body has begun to build muscle. These rips are the key to increasing muscle, strength and metabolism. The fitness program should end with stretching to spread out and release the lactic acid in the muscle. Lactic acid causes the pain felt after a fitness workout.

Healing Time. At least 24 hours are required to build muscle. This means that the same muscle groups of the body should only be worked on alternating days with one day of rest in between. On the off day, the fitness routine can include exercises to build muscle on other parts of the body or cardio. There is no way around the time needed to build muscle, at least 24 hours is REQUIRED, not suggested.

Let’s do it…again. Repeating the tearing of the muscle and the repair phases are essential to build muscle. A fitness program needs to keep going and maintain a high level of intensity to keep up with the goal to build muscle. There can be no weeks in between, or months to wait. Each and every day there needs to be some sort of fitness training taking place. No matter if the muscle is in the repair stage or the build muscle stage, the ongoing need for fitness does not stop.

We all need to build muscle in order to make the most of our fitness goals. Them ore muscle we build, them ore our metabolism will burn and the better shape we will remain in throughout our lives. The aim of a fitness program to build muscle needs to be rotted in these rules, because the knowledge of how a muscle builds will make the task to build muscle more quick, easy and efficient.

Are bodybuilding magazines full of lies?

Let’s face it. Building a more muscular physique is a great goal to have, but it can certainly be much harder than it sounds. There’s so much advice out there, and many of the so called experts don′t agree with each other. How is a beginner supposed to sort this out?

Many times that source will be the magazine shelf at any number of bookstores. Bodybuilding magazines are quite popular and often inspire a beginner to try to reach new heights.

However, beginners should be aware about something before they believe everything they read in a bodybuilding magazine. Unfortunately, these magazines often recommend supplements because they want to make money, not necessarily because the products really are helpful.

Let’s assume that there is no direct or legal partnership between the supplement companies and the magazines. Sometimes this is the case. Still, these magazines make plenty of money by allowing supplement companies to advertise their products, so there’s certainly a conflict of interest if you think about it.

This wouldn′t be such a problem if most readers realized this and had a healthy dose of skepticism when reading such ads. It also doesn′t help that many of the claims made by the supplement industry are questionable at best. Unfortunately, too many people take these ads as the gospel truth without doing some much needed investigation.

This brings us back to a critical concept of bodybuilding which tells us that supplements should not be the basis for a muscle building program. A few supplements can be useful for the advanced trainer who is trying to maximize his gains and has already developed a solid weightlifting and diet program.

Most supplements, however, are either useless or are simply not necessary. The essential components of any bodybuilding program will always be progressive resistance training and increasing one’s daily calories. Looking for shortcuts when you have not even mastered the basics will simply lead to disappointment and a lot of wasted money.

Before you move on to any kind of supplements which will simply take money away from your wallet, focus on learning these core principles. If you can′t afford a trainer, consider learning from an expert who has proven that supplements are not necessary to build muscle.

Lose Fat Gain Muscle at the Same Time

It is commonly believed that if you add too much muscle quickly, you will add fat at the same time. Gaining muscle and fat at the same time is a natural process of gaining weight, you must know and accept it if you want build muscle mass. If your goal is to build big muscles, then you need to intake a lot of calories for your body to grow more muscles. But it is impossible for all of your additional calories to go for growing your muscle. Some of these extra calories will end up as fat.

It is a good idea to make your total effort to grow muscle in one specific time frame and also do your best to slash your extra fat in another specific time frame, if you want to have a good look shape quickly.

Because the rate of metabolic is controlled by your muscle level, the fat can be easily removed after you have build a significant muscle mass. For this reason, starting out by making yourself larger is generally the best plan.

Based on what we get here, your goal of gaining weight should be: gain small amount of fat and big amount of muscle as you can. Losing fat completely is not what we want here; we just want to get them as small as possible.

It can be accomplished by three ways.

Know exactly how many extra calories you need.

Optimal nutrition is a standard, but there is no standard for “super nutrition”. In order to grow muscle mass, you need extra calories, but you will gain more fat if you eat foods that in your free way which will generate a lot of extra calories that over the needed of growing your muscle.

It is better to control your extra calories for gaining your muscle at 15~20 percent of your daily calories needs. Don’t go any higher if your calories intake fallen in this range.

Be careful your nutrition sources.

Healthy, unsaturated fats, carbohydrate with high fibers and lean proteins should be your main food sources. Food plays a large role in muscle building. You should always keep away from saturated fats, intake natural fiber carbohydrates to stabilize the level of your blood sugar and eat more red lean meats.

Begin cardio exercise.

Cardio workout is less important for build bulk muscle, but it will help you gain less fat. You don’t need to go overboard, it is just an additional workout. Just keep cardio workout high strength and short. Keep the workout within 10 to 20 minutes long that can help maintain your muscle mass.

Once you’ve gained big muscle mass that you are pleased, and then it’s time to switch to fat loss exercises and focus on that to help you drop extra body fat and keep your muscle mass level. You will gain muscle and fat at the same time. It is an inevitable truth. Instead of trying to totally avoid gaining fat, you should learn how to make fat storage as little as possible in muscle building process.

The Guy Behind Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle

Tom Venuto is the author of Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle. I just recently purchased my copy and I will let you know soon whether I give it a Your Health Reporter thumbs up.

What I can tell you is that I am already giving Tom Venuto a big thumbs up! Tom Venuto is a competitive natural body builder (meaning he has never used steroids). He has won championships and has been featured in many magazines including IRONMAN and Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness. He has a stellar body at 3.7% body fat, and he is extremely healthy! However, that is not why I think he is so qualified to offer fat loss advice.

Tom Venuto is the author of many published fitness articles and he is involved in organizations such as the American College of Sports Medicine. He is well educated with a bachelors degree in Exercise Science. He knows and understands fat loss, muscle building and proper nutrition; yet, that is STILL not why I think his book is going to be amazing!

This is why: He played human guinea pig for over 14 years as he created and put into action Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle. He figured out through actual experience why most diets, weight loss programs, supplements and pills do not work! Then, he used that knowledge to develop a fat loss program that would work to lower body fat and build lean body mass.

The weight loss industry (programs, diet pills, diet supplements etc.) is not a billion dollar a year industry by accident. Many weight loss or fat loss products are practically designed to fail the buyer. Initially, they lose a lot of weight; tout the product and others buy the product. Then, they gain all the weight back and do what? Yup, buy another product. Tom Venuto learned this through actually trying hundreds of programs and products and he was determined to find a better way!

Tom Venuto tried virtually all of the weight loss or fat loss products and gimmicks. He knows through experience that though weight loss is possible with most of those diets and pills, FAT loss or body fat and keeping that body fat down is NOT possible with most programs.

We want to lose the right kind of weight (BODY FAT!) and keep lean body mass so that we look sexy and lean, not scrawny and flabby. You cannot accomplish this without proper nutrition and exercise.

Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle will no doubt allow you to keep your metabolism high as well, which is key in body fat LOSS. Rapid weight loss programs always lower your metabolism and so do many other forms of weight loss diets. Your body ends up storing MORE fat this way and feeding off your lean body mass. Tom Venuto wants you to lose FAT, not muscle.
