^^great piece of information. Also, if possible..enlighten us with circuit training. What is it and how can it be performed, if you know. Thanks.
Also, according to you...how many different kinds of exercise should one perform for a specific muscle group?
From my side of things, circuit training is combining strength training and aerobics into one 'circuit'. The first advantages that sticks out for this type of training is it requires less time but more out of you than perhaps many of the usual exercises that require you to spend more time with the machine. If you partner up with someone, it keeps both of you on your toes, and is done specifically amongst a group of people. The outline of this program is it gives you the ability to get your heart rate up considerably quick, is done with a high number of repetitions with lower sets and helps you burn fat from your entire body. Although not necessarily designed for a power-lifter, this program is far from that. The entire circuit training has the ability to give you specific body workouts, from upper, lower or a total body. It requires persistence, and could also be designed for beginners which mandates that they stick to the program regularly so get themselves proficient. Also, perhaps the biggest advantage of this routine is it does not require you to be present at the gym, one can do it from home or anyplace else. If you dedicate one day out of the week on circuit training, you will notice the difference in your stamina and the maximum amount of time that you can have your heart rate be up and consistent.
On the other hand, it could also be designed for power-lifters, with lower reps and higher weights, and that is when you can really combine the weight-lifting with the aerobics and forget all about the machines. It is fun to do, in an environment where there are groups of people with music and an instructor, you can get a sense of belonging.
Regarding your question, any and all exercises could be done for specific muscle groups provided they get alternated between different days and not all of them are performed on the same day, or the very next day. You could possibly combine your exercises with resistance or circuit training which will give you positive results as well. I would also like to ask anyone who has any sort of experience to add to the discussion, about this topic or anything related to it.
I have used their creatine products and true mass. For me they worked pretty good. NO explode worked like crazy, helped me get over some hurdles. True mass helped me out during a loading phase last year while working on deadlifts and squats. Although i figured, i could use ON's casein, whey and a banana for the same or better results. Im not a big lifter.. i just have some goals in my head that i wanted to reach after getting surgery on my back. Supplements helped quite a bit. I had quite a stack going last year but now its mostly just animal paks joint packs, Multi vitamins and whey protein since i havent really been working out for a while now .... just a couple of days a week of weights and the rest is walking and a bit of cardio.
Excellent. I am glad you put this forward. Based on what you have shared, did you take the NO explode after your loading phase? Does the explode work in a similar way as their Nitrix product, or is it completely different?
I had asked above if anyone had any experience in animal paks. How do you find this pak, any feedback based on how long have you been taking it and perhaps the advantages of it also? What I have come across for Animal Paks is it is largely sold under the label of "multi-vitamins", although it could be more or less than that. What do you think?
