"More is better"? Well forget it! It doesn't apply to building muscle.

So what happens when we break down muscle tissue in the gym?

You are absolutely correct if you answered something to the effect of "the muscles get bigger and stronger" By battling against resistance beyond the muscle's present capacity we have posed a potential threat to the musculature. The body recognizes this as potentially harmful and as a natural adaptive response the muscles will hypertrophy (increase in size) to protect the body against this threat. As we systematically increase the resistance the body will adapt accordingly and the muscle tissue will continue to swell.

How Do We Grow Muscle Then?

Muscles do not grow in the gym. Once they are stimulated, they need adequate time to rest, recover and grow stronger. Tr...

Difference between Weight Loss and Fat Loss

You may have heard people talk about Weight Loss and Fat loss as if they are same thing.  When you gain weight, you gain fat. But does it work the other way around? Does losing weight mean you are losing fat?

The answer is “no” – or at least, not necessarily. If you drop 1kg on the scales, that doesn’t simply mean you’ve lost fat. Perhaps you’ve lost water. Perhaps you’ve lost muscle. You might also have lost fat. Here’s the thing: we don’t know. Why? Because WEIGHT LOSS is NOT to the same as FAT LOSS.

Weight Loss vs. Fat Loss. What’s the difference? Let’s start by defining weight loss & fat loss:

  • Weight Loss. You want to lower your body-weight, the sum weight of your bones, muscles, organs, body fat, …
  • Fat Loss. You want to lower your bo...

Basic Features

Strength

The main purpose of having a power rack is safety. Thus it is important to choose a rack with high weight rating. These values usually represent the static weight load, so a safe gauge will be to have the rating double of what you can lift.

Hole spacing

Narrow hole spacing is required for setting the safety bar at the correct height. For example when doing bench press, if the safety bar is too high, it will reduce the range of motion when benching, and if it is too low, it is the same as not having it. Recommended hole spacing is the most 2 inch apart, and of course smaller will be better.

Width

The rack must be wide enough to allow enough room for workout inside. However it cannot be too wide that when re-racking, you need to be precise to make sure the inner bar fit in ...

Exercise selection can virtually make or break a workout program. If you aren't choosing the correct exercises, you are going to have a hard time reaching your goals and seeing progress. Often, beginners think that the more exercises they can do, the better. After all, hitting a muscle from every angle imaginable must mean you are training it in the best possible manner right? Wrong.

Isolated exercises are great for minor tweaking once you have already established your goals, however for those looking to make significant muscle gains or lose bodyfat, they are not ideal. The following are reasons why.


1. Number Of Muscle Fibers Stimulated:

    Isolated exercises simply won't give you the biggest bang for your buck because they just don't target that many muscle fibers. Take a bench press verses a ...

Our aim of writing this guide is to touch on the important parts to look out for when buying a treadmill, and we will keep it short and sweet!

Motor

Make sure to always find out the CHP (continuous) as some may use peak HP to make the motor seems bigger than it actually is. In general, higher HP will allow the motor to run with less strain and thus able to use for a longer period of time with less heat generated.

Incline

With speed being constant, a higher incline level will burn more calories and have less impact on the joints. 

Running Area

The optimal area we advise is at least 50 x 140cm. This is so that the user do not have to worry so much about running out of track and can focus on the exercise. For example, when the user is tired, he/she will tend to sway left and right.

Brand
