Inner Triceps

The triceps are a very unique muscle. They make up two thirds of you're arm! The triceps are separated into two main parts. The inner, and outter tricep. Outter triceps is what mainly everyone in the gym develops! Unfortunately most people don't know how to get the inner triceps. Fortunately I have found a cunning way to develop that muscle so you're triceps can get the "V-effect" everyone wishes.

Here are simple exercises you can incorporate in you're routine to get that beautiful V shape in you're arm today!

Close Grip Bench Press




Most people do close grip bench press like they'd do regular bench press, and that's fine but the way I have discovered is more efficient. You put on weight that is significantly less than what you'd normally do. For me I'm a 190 pound 5'10 hockey player. I can bench 225 ilbs, but I put a 35 plate on each side for this exercise.
I put my grip very close opposed to a regular bench press. I do 8 reps, for a set of 4.

IMPORTANT!
When I go down, I count to 6, very slowly, and when you hit you're chest extend very slowly for a count of 6, and that's 1 rep. Do this 8 more time for a set of 4.

This exercise is double standing up triceps kickbacks. This is very standard, grab a very light weight. (15 - 20 ilbs) Jam out 15-20 reps. I usually do this for a super set with the close grip bench press. Also do this very slowly!

Skull Crushers is a very easy exercise. Do this exercise normally. Grab a heavy weight, and pump out 8-12 reps for 3 or 4 sets.

These are regular cable triceps downs. Do a normal weight, and fully extend. Do for 12-15 reps for 3 or 4 sets.

IMPORTANT
When you fully extend on each rep remember to curl you're wrist inwards to get that full inner triceps burn.


PS
These are just a few exsersises I use to develop my inner tricep to get that full V affect.

Effects of Marjuanna on Muscle growth, Sports Training

Marijuana is a drug that "calms" people down and gives them a positive look on things. You can smoke it many different ways. It is a very cheap gateway drug. Marijuana is a type of cannabis. 

This is a marijuana leaf

Cons of smoking Weed
Marijuana is thought to have a very negative effect on things. It can make you miss gym sessions, and give you the "munchies" which makes you eat a lot and can make you develop body fat. Smoking also can affect you're lungs which makes it harder to do cardio which can affect you're body fat percentage.

Pros

Marjuanna seems to have no negitive affects besides the cardio problems. You can still build muscle, and develop it as someone who doesn't smoke would. There are no pro's but if you force yourself not to have the munchies, and if you never miss you're gym sessions you should be fine

Long-term

Marijuana, or weed can affect you're motor skills, heart, and memory in the long run, so it would be best not to partake in it.

Thank you

Interval Training - The best

Interval training is where you do short burst of intense exercise and then move onto a longer rest period of time. You can sprint for 20 seconds, and then rest for 40. For example, the faster you burn calories, is the faster you burn fat. The beauty of interval training is that you can do it with any type of exercise. Sprinting, biking, skating, skipping ect. The other beautiful thing about this training, is that it builds up a lot of lactic acid that reduces fatigue.

Ways you can do this
After a workout instead of running on a treadmill for 40 minutes at a consistent pace, just do some interval training. Turn the speed up to 10, and the incline up to 12 on you're treadmill. Sprint for 20 seconds, and rest for 40. Repeat this for 10-20 minutes strait.

Overview

It's a great method of exercise, the one downfall is that with such high intensity exercise it makes the likeliness towards an injury more likely to happen.

Cociane use on Muscle Growth, and Sports Training

Someone doing Coke

Hey guys, its the Muscle Maniac with a new blog to help you guys out. If you'd like to try drugs, or if you are currently doing (I'm suggesting not to) this blog is here to inform you on the effects of cocaine with muscle growth and sports training!

Coke

What is Cocaine
Coaine is a white or brown damp powder that you can eat, inject anally, inject threw veins, smoke, but most commonly used with sniffing. It is a stimulant, so it will awake you, and get you going. Cocaine is a very pricey drug, and used most commonly with very wealthy people. If someone is addicted to cocaine but cannot afford it, they resort to crack, which is a very highly addictive drug that is a lot dirtier.




Cocaines affects on Muscle building
Coke is a stimulant so most people may think it is a better alterinitive to a preworkout! We'll theyre wrong. Nose candy as some people like to call it, may give you that boost, but will mostlilkey ruin you're next day. You will sleep the whole day, and hardley eat. Hardley eating will affect youre vitimain and protien intake. You will most likely loose mass if you do cociane.



Last Words
Although Cocaine is a very addictive drug, that ruins you're next day, and affects you're eating. There is no evidence that proves doing cocaine will affect you're overall training, or muscle growth so it would be okay if you force fed.



Ps
There will be more blogs on drug use and training/muscle growth

Tobacco Products effects on muscle gain, sport training

Hey guys, today I'm talking about the serious stuff. Tobacco products, and if they effect muscle gains, cardiovascular gains, everything like that. First off there is 3 types of main tobacco. Number one is smoking tobacco. Smoking tobacco's most common form is the cigarette. There are things you can smoke that carry tobacco like pipe, cigars, and ciggerllos. Number two is the second most common type of tobacco, which is chewing tobacco. Chewing tobacco comes in two containers. One is a circular metal tin, and the other is a plastic bag. Also, last the very least common type of tobacco is snuff. Snuff comes in a circular metal tin like chewing tobacco, accept it's finer cut so you can snort it up you're nose. All tobacco is very dangerous and highly addictive. Tobacco use can cause cancer due to all the toxins. There is much more side affects. Now I'll explain the damage each tobacco does for muscle building and sports training.

smoking tabacco

Smoking tobacco is very addictive, and very unhealthy especially when building muscle. Nicotine acts as a stimulant and a depressent, and that's why it's so addictive! It speeds up youre heart rate, but chills you out so it makes you lazyier. If you are a body builder there is no point in smoking because it will effect you're breathing and lungs. You're cardio will go down the drain, so you will not perform well in sports. Also, it will be very hard to cut, and tone up with such terriable cardio, and toxins going into you're body. With less oxygen it will be harder for you're muscles to breath and grow.

Chewing tabacco may seem better and healthier than smoking tabacco, but it isn't! In one tin of chewing tobacco there is as much nicotine as 60 ciggerettes. WOW! Chewing tabacco will not affect lungs, so aside from smoking tobacco the one vital difference is that chewing tabacco won't mess you're cardio up. That is why a lot of professional athletes that choose to part take in tabacco use chew. Chewing tabacco isn't all bright and shiny though... remmeber all that nicotine! Due to all the toxins and nicotine you can develop soars, cancers in the throat and mouth much much sooner. It is a definite no, no...

Snorting Tobacco

There has been a lot of studies on snuff tobacco! It is tobacco you snort up you're nose. Snuff has far less toxins than chewing tobacco, and smoking tobacco. It's the healthiest out of the three. It's still bad for you though, but it helps you wean down off of smoking and/chewing. There are no affects on sports relation, and body building.




All tobacco is bad, but if you are heavily addicted and want to keep good cardio I'd suggest using the chewing tobacco. If you want to wean off snuff is a very good way to quit. Personally all tobacco is bad when you're trying to become healthy, it makes you lazy, and when you quit you can usually gain about 5 pounds because you eat so much.




PS
Tobacco and good health don't mix. Don't try any of these things, stick to building muscle, working on you're game and improving

What Not to Be at the Gym - Biceps Maniac

If you're new to the gym, and very inexperienced don't become a Biceps Maniac! Now, you're probably wondering.... "What's a Biceps Maniac!?"

Well... to give you the stone cold truth, a Biceps Maniac is usually a beginner, someone new to the gym. A Biceps Maniac always, and only works on the biceps. For one or two reason. Reason one is results. When you work biceps whether you're fat, skinny, or muscular you see the pump right after workout, and in most cases it is a very easily developed muscle. Reason two being how easy it is to work the biceps. You grab a weight, curl it, and there you go! Sure that sounds spectacular!... BUT LISTEN if you just work and develop you're biceps that will be the only muscle that will get bigger!

How to Solve the Solution if you're a Biceps maniac
If you're a biceps maniac hold up and listen. Work every muscle in you're body, and don't favour one or the other. Just working the biceps and making them big balloons won't look good, and if you're an athlete won't perform well. Work on every muscle group eg.( Legs, Abs, Chest, Back ect.) Sure you won't see the results if you work out you're back right away, but if you feel it in the morning, you know you will eventually see results!

Would you rather look like this...

Biceps Manaic

Or this......

A person who worked everything, and listened to Muscle Maniac




Look at the Difference!!!

Lets get real here... which would you perfer...

IF YOU'RE STILL NOT CONVINCED!
If you are still a Biceps Maniac think about this. If you just work you're Biceps they will not grow, because all you'll be doing is over training them. Rest is just as important as working out.
