Guide To Getting Huge II You aren't huge yet? Well let me tell you about a little bit more to get you over those hurdles.

I will cover these 3 areas:

• More supplements
• Cycling
• Lifting

ZMA. It'll zap some zinc and magnesium into your body. Through lifting you use up too much of your body's zinc and magnesium, which will drop your testosterone levels. Therefore, taking ZMA will indirectly help to keep your testosterone levels high (which will help with your lifting energy). A great side effect is that you will sleep like a baby and have wild dreams. Those dreams alone are worth the money.

Omega-3 Fish Oils, Flaxseeds Oils and other fatty oils/lipids. These are commonly deficient in many people. They encourage healthy cell membranes and are good for your brain.

A daily multi-vitamin. These are essential as they will actually help your body to assimilate the protein and creatine you might be taking. Most studies have shown that removing the daily multi-vitamin greatly reduces the effectiveness of most other supplements.

Caffeine. This doesn't mean go and drink coffee non-stop. You can take caffeine pills to stimulate your muscles. Do you ever have days when lifting is "easy" and other days when you just don't have it? Caffeine will help to get rid of those drowsy days.

Glutamine. Most heavy lifters operate in a deficient state of glutamine, which is a conditionally essential amino acid. It is used during lifting, and overtraining can deplete your levels. By taking a little glutamine to aid your natural stores, you should have more energy to lift weights. Amino2222 and others will also help with your amino acids.

Lastly, some people put their faith into Animal Pak, claiming it is the ultimate muscle gaining supplement out there. Animal Pak is loaded with like 8 million different things, but somehow it scares me. I'm also scared of Uni-Liver. I mean, when you take a freshly slaughtered cow's liver, flash freeze it and put it into pill format...why would I want to take it? I mean, sure, putting a bunch of highly concentrated animal hormones into my body might make me HUGE...but I dunno if I want to try it.

Cycling:
Whether it is taking supplements or lifting weights, true gain will only last a short while. After a little bit of time your body gets used to the things you are feeding it, and your muscles get used to the workouts you are making them do. Therefore, you should cycle after a while. Maybe 6-8 weeks. Once your body gets shocked with new supplements and a radically different pattern in working out you'll keep it guessing and your muscles will keep on growing. I only discovered this truth very recently, but it is this fact that has helped to push me past a plateau I've been stuck at for months.

Lifting:
Lastly, the style of lifting you do changes what impact it will have on your body. Remember how I said testosterone helps stimulate your muscles? Well, lots of people only focus on their upper body. The two best excercises for overall strength are squats and deadlifts. Those two exercises stimulate natural releases of testosterone, making all of your other lifting more effective.

Whether you are doing lots of repetitions or maxing yourself out after only a handful or reps makes a difference in how your body responds as well. Strength and size come primarily from low rep lifting, while leanness and cuts often come from higher reps and less rest in between sets.

All in all it depends on what you want to achieve and what body type you have (ectomorphs, mesomorphs, and endomorphs.)
Ectomorphs – have short upper body, long arms, legs, and has very little fat storage. The chest and shoulders are generally narrow with long, thin muscles.
Mesomorphs – have large chests, long torso, solid muscle structure, and can gain muscles quite easily without putting on too much extra body fat.
Endomorphs – have wide hips, round face, short neck, and can gain and store body fat very easily.
Most people are combinations. I, myself, am about a 75%-25% mix of Mesomorph and Endomorph. If only I had less Endomorph and more Ectomorph. Sure, I'd have trouble gaining muscle, but at least I wouldn't be so fat. (Tony and Jean have mostly Ectomorphic bodies).  ¶ 9:03 AM
