Autumn 2009
TRAINING TIPS

Welcome All

The Autumn 2009 issue of Building the Body quarterly magazine is now published and it is a really special one.  This publication is unique among physical culture magazines.  Why?  For starters it is not 3/4 paid advertising like most muscle magazines.  I give recommendations based on personal experience.  We do not depend on $$ from big food supplement companies for revenues so the truth gets published, not hype about what the champs are taking.  Secondly, it contains articles by notables in the field of bodybuilding, nutrition, and mind science.  It's not just about big muscle but everything that is related to bodybuilding that will help you make progress.  You will learn how to avoid disaster in your training as you get older, what to focus on, how to stay healthy and not get injured.  The way many bodybuilders are training now will lead to pain and suffering in their later years.  Why not learn from my experience?

This month's cover is a fabulous drawing by artist Ron Dunn along with some photos of Frank you've never seen before.  Each issue presents a diversity of tropics ranging from training, nutrition, cooking, meditation, dream work, visualization, positive attitude, affirmations, motivation and stress management techniques.  Autumn issue contains articles by writers who are held in high esteem in their field, like Samir Bannout Mr. Olympia 1983 and John White a widely published author in the psychology of personal growth.

THIS ISSUE CONTAINS:

One Set - Here's a great way to train for maximum pump and progress in a minimum of time.  One set of each exercise with high reps done in a slow strict followed by a stretch between sets will make you more enthusiastic and insure you are not overtraining.

Leg Day -  This is Frank's current leg routine based on the one set system: leg extension, leg press, Leg Blaster squat, leg curl, hyperextension, donkey calf raise with stretching in between give a great lower body workout twice or even once a week.

Rest Between Reps - Getting all your reps finished in one set will give you the ultimate treatment necessary to adequately work a body part.  Simply do as many continuous reps at once in good form, rest a few seconds and continue, resting as necessary until 20 to 30 reps are completed. Then stretch and walk around until breathing returns to near normal.  Avoid redundancy and go right to your next exercise.

Acupressure Taping - is a great to use when you are injured and still want to train.  This special taping technique relieves pain because it lifts the skin away from the muscle and helps improve circulation to the injured area.  It also provides support and alignment.
