Natural whey contains a protein called undenatured whey protein. It is of the highest quality in terms of nutritional value. Undenatured whey protein contains high levels of the amino acid cysteine. Among the popular brands in the food supplement market, ImmunPlex undenatured whey protein isolate is formulated to provide undenatured whey protein, peptides and other vitamins and minerals useful in gaining muscle mass and boosting the body’s energy level. It also functions in eradicating toxic metals from the body. This food supplement contains lecithin that makes it more appealing to health enthusiasts and athletes. Furthermore, ImmunPlex undenatured whey protein does not contain any genetically modified components which are doubted to have adverse effects on the body.
Recent scientific researches also prove that ImmunPlex undenatured whey protein isolate has antioxidant activities beneficial in scavenging free radicals such as oxyradicals that cause brain disorders. Neurological disorders such as schizophrenia and Down syndrome may be prevented by the increased intake of undenatured whey protein. The components of this food supplement responsible for such antioxidant activity are the glutathione precursors which function in protecting brain cells from death or necrosis.

While I focus mainly on teaching people how to get better results with bodybuilding, there is far more to fitness than merely building muscle mass. For people who are less serious about weight training (i.e. just putting on pounds of muscle), or for bodybuilders who are interested in incorporating some other activities into their overall fitness regimen, cycling can be a great idea.
Running, while it is a great cardio workout can be HARD on the runner’s joints — something a bodybuilder can’t afford. Cycling offers many of the health benefits offered by running, but without the downsides. Therefore, a lot of bodybuilders would do well to eschew running and/or jogging in favor of more low impact cardio workouts like cycling.
The best thing about cycling is it’s an activity which gives you a cardio workout AND is fun to do. It can be just the thing for the bodybuilder looking to take it east on their knee and ankle joints (as well as the layperson concerned with fitness in general). Best of all, it can be enjoyed outside - for many bodybuilders it seems like we spend our entire lives at the gym!

Creatine monohydrate (or Creatine for short) is a popular supplement used by bodybuilders. It is also used by both amateur and professional athletes, bodybuilders, even just “casual” fitness enthusiasts.And you can even find creatine in popular soft drinks and energy drinks nowadays! But what is Creatine, exactly?
Creatine is a metabolite which occurs naturally in the human body and is composed of three amino acids - Arginine, Glycine and Methionine. Creatine is found in muscle tissues, where it plays the important role of energizing muscles. In technical terms, Creatine is an ergogen.
“What is an Ergogen?” You may be asking… basically an ergogen boosts your body’s ability to do work and Creatine helps in that respect. You see, Creatine helps your body produce ATP (which is short for adenosine triphosphate). Basically this substance is the best possible source of energy for working muscles. ATP makes the proteins which cause your muscles to contract (or flex). So when your muscles are doing something, ie. at work, ATP breaks down into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and energy is released. All this happens in just a few seconds.

So you’ve spent hours working on building bulging biceps in the gym… And you’ve spent an eternity working and developing well-chiseled chest… but have you ever stopped to consider which of these muscles is the most powerful in your body? The answer is: neither! You may not have spent much, if any time training your strongest muscles.
Your legs, your quadriceps in particular are the strongest muscles you have! These would be the muscles of the upper legs and a lot is asked of these workhorses of the human body in just about every sport; even bodybuilding.
I’m always amazed when someone has worked out every other part of their body, yet has underdeveloped quads (and legs in general!). I want you to listen today, because today I’m going to help you unlock the power of these powerhouses. It’s really a pretty simple matter to increase the power of these muscles to their full potential.

I get a TON of questions each and every week about chest exercises. Everyone wants to build a huge chest (or just get a “bigger” one), but not everyone knows the best way to achieve this goal. So for the benefit of everyone who wants some information on this topic (and everyone wants to know “what’s your secret, Caleb?”) I’m going to provide a little help in this article. While I certainly am not ready to give all of my hard-won secrets away, here are a few of my favorite chest exercises.
First, I’d like to share a little general information for the newbies out there (hello and welcome!). Your chest muscles consist of the Pectoralis major and minor - the familiar term “pecs” is short for this. The Pectoralis major attaches to the arms and clavicles; the minor is a thinner, roughly triangular shaped muscle which is beneath the Pectoralis major.
Now, let’s start with some exercises for the upper chest and work our way down, shall we? Flyes and push-ups are old standbys for the upper chest, precisely because they are very effective for building this part of your chest. Without further ado:
