A Few Spring Tips for Your Bodybuilding Snacks- Protein Bars
•Make sure you don’t leave your Protein Bar on your car seat! The rising temperature inside the car can melt away the delicious coating. You may find your hand covered in melted chocolate if you rip into bar that has been sitting in the sun. Keeping your bar in the cool air will help keep the bar fresh. •Check the expiration date on your supplement bars. Some do expire! •Buy in Bulk- Save money by buying your bars in bulk. •Display your nutrition bars on your counter and you may find it easier to grab one and eat healthier than grabbing a cookie from the cookie jar on the counter. •Purchase a Nutritional Bar with nutritional value, low in saturated fat- read the labels. If the internet retailer does not display the nutritional facts- beware and don’t purchase the bars. View image

Protein Quality is Important
As a bodybuilder, you are probably aware that taking protein after working out offers many benefits. With that being said, do you know that not all protein is of the same quality? In other words, you need to know how protein quality is measured before you purchase this supplement. After all, you only want to put the best protein into your body. The quality of protein is measured in three ways: its biological value, protein efficiency ratio, and protein digestibility corrected amino acid score. If you are not sure how to determine the quality of a protein supplement, or simply want more information on measuring quality, visit: My Nutrition World

Words to Live By
As we all start the New Year and take time to reflect on the past and look forward to our future goals for the year, we should take the time to ponder the words from Nick Scott, a wheelchair bodybuilder

Scott states “life is not about having a glass half empty or half full.
It is just having a glass that is enough to be thankful about”.

Soy News
One scientist may have found another clue as to why SOY helps promote weight loss .
Current research shows that when soy consumption is up, body weight decreases!
"And we found that soy did have an effect on these mechanisms and hormones that are induced in the body to help us degrade lipids and reduce body weight, but it did so by boosting metabolism and not by reducing food intake," she said.
Pass the SOY !

You too can become a Professional Bodybuilder
Do you have aspirations of becoming a professional bodybuilder? If so, hard work and dedication will help you to reach this goal in the end; even if you have other factors working against you.
For proof, take a close look at Erik Fankhouser of Warwood, West Virginia. Despite growing up in a small town in a small state, Fankhouser had big dreams of becoming a professional bodybuilder.
Upon starting his bodybuilding career, Fankhouser set a goal of turning professional by the time he reached 30. Luckily for him, he didn’t have to wait that long as his dream came true at 27.
For all his hard work, Fankhouser was featured on the cover of December’s Muscular Development Magazine. From small town shot-put champion to professional bodybuilder, Fankhouser is an inspiration for any aspiring athlete within this sport.

Common Off-Season Mistakes
Bodybuilders take time away from the sport just like everybody else with a career. With that being said, bodybuilders need to keep their body in good shape so that they do not undo all of their hard work. Of course, this is easier said than done during an off-season break or vacation. There are many common mistakes that are made in this area. Some of the more popular include: not eating enough of the good foods, not keeping up with a cardio workout, and staying away from carbs. If you are interested in being the best possible bodybuilder, you need to work hard year round. This is not to say that you can never take a break, but when you do, you must still have the best interest of your body in mind.

Believe it or not, A Day of Rest is a MUST for MUSCLES! Working out everyday of the week is the not the best way to build muscle. While many amateurs belong to this school of thought, nothing could be further from the truth. Experts know that the best way to build muscle mass is to work hard one day, and then take the next day off.
If you stick to one day of hard work followed by a day of rest, you are sure to see improved results. Additionally, your body will also feel much better as well. Many weight lifters have found that combining this regimen with a good supplement is the perfect way to build all of the mass that they need.
Remember, more is not always better when it comes to building muscle mass.

Raw Eggs for Building Muscle?
Believe it or not, many hard core bodybuilders have found that raw eggs are not among the best foods for building muscle. Yes, you heard that right. Even though this was a huge myth in the past, it is more or less dying down. Not only does the thought of eating raw eggs disgust many bodybuilders, but they are also high in cholesterol; which is obviously bad for your health.
Bodybuilders have found that they do not need to eat raw eggs in order to get the proper level of protein . Instead, they can rely on supplements as well as energy drinks such as Whey protein .
Bodybuilders may have gulped down a couple of raw eggs
per day in the past. But with so many supplements on the market today, this is no longer necessary.
