Your Weight Lifting Routines Guru Returns!!!

Guys,

Forgive me, I know it probably appeared like I never actually returned from my holiday back in May, and that you would not be able to live without your Weight Lifting Routines Guru, but I did return home.... I've just been so busy I've been pulled in every direction possible.

While I was away I was thinking, I get so many emails from people asking about my web site and when will it be online that I decided to put this top of the list. So while I laid there by the pool that day I wrote down all of my projects and will be working through them all in the coming weeks/months.

I can safely say that the Weight Lifting Routines Web site is now complete and would like to invite you to visit it right away:

http://www.WeightLiftingRoutines.co.uk

Obviously the Weight Lifting Routines course is still going ahead and is on my list, but for the time being please join my mailing list for a mini course and also up to date news.

Go to the web site and sign up now....

Speak soon guys....forgive me?

Weight Lifting Routines- Beginners Workout

H Guys(and Ladies),

Firstly I would like to apologise on my lack of reglar posts to the Weight Lifting Routines Blog. A few months ago we found out that is going to be a mini edition to the Carey family and have been all over the place ever since - not just pysically but I mean my mind!!!

Secondly I have been working very hard to try and put together a beginners workout. I'm hoping it will be a complete 12 week routine including some excellent techniques and tricks to get you looking in shape in no time! Most of the emails I get are from beginners who are starting out and need some pointers so this has been my first project.

Thirdly and lastly( no more grovelling I promise!) I have also been putting together my own website where I look at Weight Lifting Programs on the market and recommend you the best out there. This will be up and running soon and I promise to let you know when this is complete.

As you can I have been very busy so please forgive my slackness on the posts.

One more thing............ I'm away on holiday for a week from Saturday but will be back to normal as soon as I'm back!! Sorry!!!

Hang in there, the coming months are going to rock with what i've got to show you.

Weight Lifting Routines - Becoming Flexible

Hi,

Today I wanted to talk to about adding streches into your Weight Lifting Routines so you can actually move a day after your workout! I know this feeling only too well and wanted to explain a little further about how to get a little more flexible.

Like most weight lifters I love lifting weights and over time seeing some great results to my overall physique, but when I first started out I would completely miss out the stretching excercises before and after my work out.

So not only was I becoming tight from lack of stretching but as we know the weights themselves shorten muscles too so I could hardly move!

It didn't take me too long before I realised that I was doing something wrong. I spoke to a few guys down the gym who gave me some great tips:

1) Try stretching the muscles you are working between sets

2) I know it sound a bit girly to some but adding a yoga or Pilates class to your regimen is a great idea! Not only does it make you more flexible but also aids breathing, and your overall posture.

3) Doing some stretching is MUCH better than doing none! Adding just five minutes of stretching to your Weight Lifting Routine will help a great deal. Doing a stretch for a slow count of 10 of 15 and doing this around 10 times will make up your five minutes.

So please make sure you start doing your stretches!!

Until next time.....

Weight Lifting Routines - Does it cause baldness?

Hi all ,welcome back to Weight Lifting Routines....

Today I happened to come across a rather interesting article about some British scientists who have being carrying out tests that they say links Weight Lifting with going bald!!!!!

I didnt like the sound of that so I read on..........

British scientists say lifting weights can cause baldness.

That's because weight training increases testosterone levels immediately after a session, rising 25 percent after 45 minutes, The Sun reported. About 30 minutes later, testosterone levels drop as the hormone is converted to dihydrotestosterone or DHT, which shrinks hair follicles and roots.

"We have seen an increase in men in their 20s and 30s who regularly circuit train," Rogers Medical Group, a practice specializing in hair transplants, said in a statement. "There's no doubt it is often a factor in hair loss."

It has to be said that I have been Weight Lifting for many years and my hair is goin nowhere....trust me!!!

Until next time.

Weight Lifting Routines - For Women...

Hi all,

Sorry I havent written for a couple of days, I've been having internet issues again! I've been spending most evenings on the phone to my ISP trying to get an internet connection that i'm paying my hard earned cash for!!

Any way today I have actually managed to connect for more than 2 mins so thought i'd write a quick post.

Today I am going to talk about some Weight Lifting Routines for women.

You can use these routines for either for putting on muscle or reducing fat, either way they are great routines that will give some great visual results if done regularly and you also incorporate a healthy balanced diet.

When you first enter the gym, you will want to go straight for a bench in front of the dumbbells. Put the back up slightly, around 20 degrees. It should be at its lowest incline. Grab a set of dumbbells and sit down, resting the dumbbells on your knees. When you're ready to begin, with each leg, kick the dumbbells up in the air as you lie back. Keep your shoulders cocked out and push the weights straight up. Do this for 10 repetitions. Take a 60 second break and repeat the process 2 more times.

Next, on the same bench, take the inclined back and make it flat. Grab a set of dumbbells and put them on the floor, one on each side. Start by putting your right knee on the end of the bench and bend over and put your right hand to balance yourself. Keep your back straight and with your left hand pick up the dumbbell. Lift it all the way to your chest and back down again. Do this 10 times and than switch to your other arm. Take a 60 second break and repeat the process 2 more times.

Finally, you can leave the bench and stand in front of the dumbbells. Grab a set and hold the weights at your side. Keep your back straight and start bending your knees. Lower your body until you're at the position of sitting in a chair. Stand up straight again. Do this for a total of 10 times and take a 60 second break. Repeat the process 2 more times.

With these Weight Lifting Routines for women you'll be in shape in no time. There is no need to fear if you'll put on muscle because you need a very special and heavy diet. Just keep doing this and your metabolism will go up, as well as the amount of calories you burn.


Thanks a lot for this great article Elle.

Speak to you soon.
