Bodybuilding vs. Freakbuilding

In every sport, there are competent and sensible trainers and competitors that chose the pursuit of perfection and beauty; but there are many others that their main goal is to become notorious. This notoriety is achieved at the same time they forget the true nature of the sport. I have always thought that first are sportsmen / sportswomen and the others are just only freaks.

Freaks are notorious because they grab the attention of the media and public in general. Nevertheless, they are empty because they don’t contribute with anything valuable or admirable to the society.

Bodybuilding is a valuable sport because the true nature of this lifestyle promotes good nutrition, proper exercise and a good human body perception based on beauty and health. But you can find many freaks in the bodybuilding scene.

According to the dictionary a freak is any abnormal phenomenon or product or unusual object; anomaly; aberration or a person on exhibition as an example of a strange deviation from nature; monster.

Here you have the most obvious example of a bodybuilding freak.

Always ask yourself if you are a bodybuilder or just a “freakbuilder”. The difference is clear; Pursue beauty and health and you will be on the right track.

You Versus Bodybuilders

You Versus Bodybuilders

The one on the left is a top bodybuilder. The other guy, is not.













This post may turn into a bit of a rant and for that my buff readers, I apologise.

When in work tonight I noticed a young guy working his chest and even when I was 45 minutes into a session with a client he still seemed to be working his chest although the angle of the bench had changed ever so slightly. Now this young guy has probably read a lot of bodybuilding magazines and has been brainwashed into thinking that he needs to hit chest from every possible angle for it to grow. I could tell from his shape that he hadn't yet applied the same principles to his back workouts and was heading towards some muscle imbalances and potential shoulder problems down the line. This kid, like many gym regulars and board users that I interact with, was applying the wrong answer to the wrong questions.

Bodybuilding - The “Fastest Gains” Report

Bodybuilding workouts - It is so important to train the biggest muscle areas in order to provide a highly anabolic environment within the body is important for the biggest muscles of the body (especially those that are used in the squat, deadlift, and even leg-pressing on the whole, For example the muscles of the thigh, hip and lower back region) are trained and stimulated to grow. Why you may ask? Since these muscles represent such a large amount of the total muscle mass on the human body, any training stress of sufficient intensity that make these muscles grow will also increase stress levels on the body overall.

Newly created peptide turns cancer friend into foe

Washington, October 8 : A team of American scientists has created a peptide that binds to Bcl-2, a protein that protects cancer cells from programmed cell death, and converts it into a cancer cell killer.

The progress made by scientists at Burnham Institute for Medical Research takes then a step closer to creating new cancer treatments.

Brittle bone drug could halt breast cancer

A drug that is used to treat brittle bones can also stop the spread of breast cancer, say scientists.

The cheap drug, zoledronic acid, was combined with a commonly used chemotherapy drug and scientists found the tumours stopped growing. The cancer also stopped spreading after the treatment had finished.

Researchers now believe that combining the two drugs could be more beneficial at fighting the disease than any previous drug combination.

The brittle bone drug is also much cheaper than the breast cancer wonder drug, Herceptin, at under £1,000 per year of treatment.

As both the chemo drug, doxorubicin and zoledronic acid are already widely used, scientist believe the treatment could be approved to use within two years.

The drug combination is now set to be tested on 3,000 women in the UK and the results will be released in six months.

Lead researcher Professor Robert Coleman said: 'It would be a very substantial breakthrough. It is a completely new approach to treatment. It is relatively simple. It is not particularly unpleasant and it could also be applied to other cancers.'

However tests of the drug combination have so far only been carried out on mice. Dr Joanna Peak, of Cancer Research UK, said: 'The benefits of giving zoledronic acid after doxorubicin have only been shown here in mice and now need to be evaluated more fully in people with breast cancer.'

Colon Cancer

Colorectal cancer is just as common among women as men. An estimated 148,610 new cases will be diagnosed in 2006 in the United States. Of these new cancer cases, 106,680 will be colon cancer and 41,930 rectal cancer. And an estimated 55,170 will die of the disease in 2006, making it the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States.

In many cases colon cancer can be prevented. Colon cancer almost always starts with a small growth called a polyp. If the polyp is found early, doctors can remove it and stop colon cancer before it starts.

African-American men and women are diagnosed with and die from colon cancer at higher rates than men and women of any other US racial or ethnic group.

More than 90% of colon cancer cases occur in people age 50 and older. For this reason, the American Cancer Society recommends you start getting tested for the disease at age 50. People who are at increased risk for colon cancer -- for example, those with a family history of the disease -- may need to begin testing at a younger age. You should talk to your doctor about your specific situation and when you should begin getting tested.

R & D: Oncology
Despite numerous research and medical advances, Cancer remains the number one cause of death, and one in two people born today will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetime. The uncontrolled growth of cancer cells is to a large extent determined by stimuli in their immediate environment. At Merrimack, we are focused on understanding the combinatorial activity of these stimuli and how to regulate them to stop cancer. Merrimack has extensively modeled key signaling networks regulating the biology of solid tumors, including breast, ovarian and colon cancers. Based on this research, we have developed several novel approaches to attack and shut down the growth signals that drive the growth of tumors. We have developed a portfolio of therapeutic candidates based on our discoveries and are currently testing two novel therapeutic antibodies, MM-111 and MM-121, in pre-clinical studies.

Will you dare to STOP SMOKING?

Well, there are many reasons why to stop smoking…

• Ways To Make Quitting Easier (It’s Not Easy For Most People)

1. Pick a date to stop, if you can’t stop today. Choose one two to four weeks from now so you can get ready to quit. If possible, choose a time when things in your life will change, like when you’re about to start a break from school. Or just pick a time when you don’t expect any extra stress at school, work or home. Of course life is very unpredictable so you just can’t wait for there to be NO stress in your life. Wouldn’t that be easy.
2. Make a list of the reasons why you want to quit. Keep that list available so you can look at it when you have a nicotine craving. Make a list of what you like about smoking also.
3. Keep a record of where, when and why you smoke. You may want to make notes for a week or so to know ahead of time when and why you will crave a cigarette. Plan what you will do instead of smoking (see list above for ideas). You may also want to plan what you’ll say to people who pressure you to smoke.
4. Throw or give away all of your tobacco. Clean out your room if you have smoked there. Throw or give away your ashtrays and lighters, just get them out of your house and or room.
5. Tell your friends that you ’re quitting. Ask them not to pressure you about smoking. Find other things to do with them besides smoking. If you have to avoid being around people who smoke, do that for a while. But do let friends know why you are avoiding them. You’re doing this for YOU, not them.
6. When your stop date arrives, STOP. Plan little rewards for yourself for each tobacco-free day, week or month. Buy yourself a new top, get some new chewing gum, ask a friend to see a movie. Take a friend to get your favorite dessert or decaf… whatever.

When Bodybuilding and Steroids Go Too Far

When Bodybuilding and Steroids Go Too Far

Right or more often the case wrong, athletes have been taking anabolic steroids since the early 1960’s. Many competitive bodybuilders go to excess in taking steroids in order to compete citing that ‘extreme sports require extreme measures,’ using a plethora of various forms for different effects — one might increase muscle hardness while another will improve mass, strength or endurance — thus becoming human walking chemistry sets.

Synthetic anabolic steroids are potent medications designed to mimic the function of testosterone which can even perform better at promoting muscle growth than equivalent levels of testosterone.

Often coined as being juiced or juiced up amongst those who use the drugs, some say “steroids are as American as Apple Pie.”

Body builders inject "Popeye" oil for giant biceps

Some body builders are injecting themselves with a posing oil called Synthol, which acts like a silicone injection and causes their arms to puff up like Popeye's: Synthol, which is a mixture of triglyceride oils and benzyl alcohol, was originally intended as a form of “posing oil” for bodybuilders. When injected into a muscle, however, the body is slow to break it down, so giving an inflated appearance... “Also, because it gives a fast swelling, you will get cramp from a squashing of the nerve. Then you can get crushing of the actual blood vessels and blood flow cut-off.” Some authorities in the US have said bodybuilders also risk giving themselves a pulmonary embolism, which can be fatal, by injecting synthol directly into a major blood vessel.
