weight
unfortunately maximuscle are not paying me-if only, its just that if you ask any athlete they will probably tell you that they are a top brand and deliver results. I agree with what you said, however, i was merely responding to someone who said they wished to put weight on. And as you said at the ...

Weight gain
For those who have the problem of putting on weight, you must ( as i said in my earlier post ) aim to weight train three times a week concentrating on the exercises that use most muscles ( deadlifts, squats, bench press, pull ups, dips, shoulder press etc ) and then aim to eat 2 g of protein for ...

GRAVESEND
Gravesend is not in London it is in Kent and is about 45-1hr from central London, dont mean to offend you but probably the only decent thing about Gravesend is that it is near the huge shopping centre called Bluewater.

I shouldnt be too worried about your weight, just be worried about how you use it, my uncle is 6ft4 and about 17 stone and has been a marine for 12 years. To improve your running times try covering a distance of say 3 miles by walking for a minute, jogging for a minute and then sprinting for a ...

building chest muscles
If you are struggling with press ups the best way to improve them quickly is...do as many normal press ups as possible and when you reach your limit drop onto your knees and complete as many press ups in that position. By doing this you are still working the same muscles but taking them to an ...

sore back
From the sound of your physical training routine you have included no back exercises. What happens when you do loads of sit ups is that you develop very strong abdominal muscles but very weak lower back muscles which can lead to injury as in your case. When training the most important point to ...

tapering
Will,
Not sure if you know about tapering, if you do don't read the rest. As you said you have four weeks left I would start to gradually decrease your training load two weeks before your training commences. Training for any big event be it a marathon or marine training requires the body to peak ...

Torn Calf Muscle.
Correct me if Im wrong but Im sure your physio would have stressed the importance of GRADUALLY getting back into exercise. A 4 mile run after a torn calf muscle is way too much. The best saying in returning from injury is to listen to your body-your calf causing you pain is your body's way of saying ...

weights
In response to your reply I totally agree with the adage of needing to cross train and sure weights can help ( as mentioned in the skinny lad's case ) However, I was unaware that any formal testing with weights in the military existed could you please give me some more information as to what ...

aerobic/anaerobic
The definition of aerobic exercise is when working with the aid of oxygen, primary activities such as walking, jogging, swimming and cycling. Anaerobic is working without oxygen-sprinting and weightlifting and yes circuits would be better suited to the military.

Progression is the key
Like anything in fitness you must progress slowly but surely. First you should get an aerobic base. This means improving your endurance and the capability of your heart and lungs. This can be achieved by training a minimum of three times a week for 30 mins at a time. Ideally running should be the ...

low weights high reps
From an entirely athletic point of view your statement is correct, however, I should have been clearer-I was addressing the issue of putting weight on through weights whilst still trying to improve aerobic fitness. Whilst the type of weight training you suggessted may be be beneficial in sporting ...

When training for rugby the most important thing is weight training and speed work, get involved with a local club and they will find the position that you are best suited to. Remember the type of fitness required for rugby is quite different to that required for the military. Rugby is a power sport ...
