Can a much smaller man beat a much larger man in a fight? The answer is yes ladies and gentlemen. While much stress is placed on the size of the dog in the fight, it often is the size of the fight in the dog that makes the difference. Check out this awesome video of Mirko Cro Cop laying the skills on “The Beast” Bob Sap. Please keep in mind while whatching this video that Cro Cop is 6’ 1” and weighs 230 lbs. “The Beast on the other hand is 6’ 5” and weighs 375 lbs. Did I mention…

You have probably heard about Paddy Doyle – he is currently a respected world champion in full push-ups. He has a wide history of records. Once, he did 4100 push-ups with a 23 kg box tied on his back. A few years back he did 7860 push-ups at some pub. His one-hour record is 1700 push-ups, while a twenty-four-hour one is 37000. Exactly that much, there is no mistake here. Doing push-ups is a great exercise for those who wish to develop the muscle mass, especially for bodybuilders. Push-ups and Bench-Press Push-up is bench-press the other way around; it is…

You may have heard that MMA is one of the most physically demanding sports today. Because mixed martial arts utilizes the entire body, it takes a tremendous amount of strength and energy to give 100% in the ring for 3 to 5 rounds. Good cardiovascular exercise is a key component that helps some of the most well conditioned fighters, such as Uriah Faber, to remain nimble and strong for a full 5 rounds of action. To get your fight endurance up, try this cardiovascular workout recommended by longtime professional BJJ trainer Stephan Kesting from Grapplearts: “1 – ‘Easy and Long’…

Sleep is one of the most valuable factors in bodybuilding. Overtraining is simply a lack of rest, said Joe Weider long time ago before we were even born. Rest, sleep in particular, is essential for successful muscle building. While you are sleeping the cortisol level stabilizes and the growth hormone level increases. Under sleep deprivation you can not develop large muscles no matter how great your training program is. Once in the wakeful state, our body concentrates on the external environment; this includes work, relationships, trainings stress, and even meals. Sleep is the period, when our body gets a chance…

You all have seen those vibration platforms in the gyms, but have probably never used them. Bodybuilders normally spend enough time working out to build different muscle groups. You also plan your day, eat a balanced diet rich in all necessary nutrients and have enough rest to build a really muscular body. But did you know, that vibration tables can also help build muscles? Bodybuilders shouldn’t ignore those vibrostands also because they strengthen the bones. The impulses made by the platform pass through the foot and effect every body area, when one stands on it. This makes your muscles contract…

Sport drinks get more and more popular those days. The market is filled with different drinks of this kind, while each manufacturer announces his product to be the best one out there. It does not matter what brand you prefer to drink, what matters is how you drink it. Energy drinks are designed for people who train 60 minutes and over, or train in high-temperature environments. How does the body absorb the nutrients and liquid depends on the ratio they pass from the stomach to the thin section of intestines. Gastric Evacuation There are some factors which affect gastric emptying.…

Lisa Kennedy, the Denver Post film critic, recently reviewed the movie “Bigger Stronger Faster*.” And while she gave it a favorable review, she left the film believing that anabolic steroids and anabolic steroids alone were responsible for the size of Gregg Valentino’s arms (”Men of steel, and of steroids,” June 12). Thanks to anabolic steroid use, Valentino’s arms look like they’ve been invaded by tumors. This isn’t muscle definition but something sci-fi, something Hulk-ian — as in the Incredible but also as in Hulk Hogan. Many people in the sport of competitive bodybuilding are aware of substances like “synthol”, site…

Singer-songwriter John Mayer has been caught using human growth hormone (or so he would like people to believe he is using HGH). He was photographed by paparazzi exiting a medical building with a white paper bag with “experimental growth hormones 2x daily” handwritten on the outside of it and signed presumably by a physician (”Johnny’s a growing boy,” June 12). The consensus is that this is a joke. Whereas many entertainment stars linked to performance enhancing drugs have denied and distanced themselves from such news reports, it appears that John Mayer wants everyone to believe he is using performance or cosmetic…

Police investigators arrested 76-year old John Gaebel Livingstone on suspicion of possessing anabolic steroids and possessing drugs for sale and transportation. Police believe Livingstone sold steroids to bodybuilders at local gyms and training studios in Orange County California. Investigators discovered 5,000 steroids units along with some syringes and needles and steroid books after executing a search warrant (”76-year-old suspected of pushing steroids at local gyms,” June 11). What led police to John Gaebel Livingstone’s doorstep is not being publicly disclosed, but investigators had enough information to obtain a search warrant for the drugs inside Livingstone’s home. About 8 a.m., officers with…
